Equipment Today, a leading source of independent and insightful content about equipment best practices, named LGMG H1256 telehandler as one of the winners of its 2026 Contractors’ Top 50 New Products Award. The nomination recognizes the best new product introductions and enhancements in the commercial construction industry.
Launched earlier this year, the new H1256 telehandler provides a versatile material handling solution that can be deployed across a wide range of applications and jobsite conditions without adding unnecessary complexity. With a 12,000 lb capacity, a 56 ft 1 in max height and a 42 ft outreach, this telehandler combines strong lifting performance with the power and speed required on today’s jobsites. It is well-suited for everyday lifting, placement and material staging tasks common across construction, infrastructure and industrial projects.
Built with rental fleets in mind, the H1256 is designed for the realities of repeated deployment and high utilization.
“We are honored to have our H1256 telehandler recognized with the Contractors’ Top 50 New Products Award,” said Craig Paylor, president of LGMG North America. “This nomination reflects our ongoing commitment to providing North American customers with reliable equipment that delivers long-term value. The H1256 was built to withstand the repetitive, demanding use our rental customers face every day, with the performance needed to help maximize uptime and profitability.”
“As construction work continues to evolve alongside today’s changing jobsite, so do the products helping contractors to complete that work,” said Kathy Wells, editor-in-chief, Equipment Today and OEM Off-Highway. “Increasing productivity and improving project outcomes are top priorities for today’s construction teams. This year’s winning products aim to assist contractors in not only meeting, but, in many cases, exceeding their goals. Equipment Today is proud to congratulate the recipients of the 2026 Contractors’ Top 50 New Products Award and their contributions to driving more successful projects.”
