The LGMG H1256 telehandler combines a strong 12,000 lb lifting capacity, 56’1” max lift height and 42’ outreach, expanding the company’s telehandler lineup for modern rental fleets. The launch reflects LGMG’s continued focus on providing rental customers with equipment that delivers high productivity and uptime and a fast return on investment. It’s ideal for commercial construction, infrastructure projects and industrial facilities.


“The H1256 was developed with rental fleet realities in mind, offering versatility on jobsites, where loads are becoming heavier and productivity expectations are higher,” said Russell Durand, regional sales manager at LGMG.


Jobsite durability


Designed for rough terrain applications, the telehandler features industry-standard Dana® limited-slip axles for reliable performance on uneven terrain. Power comes from a 120 hp Cummins® engine with a 15.5 mph travel speed, helping operators move quickly across large sites. Three steering modes, including four-wheel and crab steer enhance maneuverability, enabling operators to easily navigate tight jobsites. The H1256 has a rugged design with more steel to handle daily tasks. For example, a durable steel engine cover comes standard. “The H1256 combines strong lift capacity with the power and jobsite speed customers want. On large, demanding projects, that additional horsepower translates into faster cycle times, more trips per day and real productivity gains for both operators and fleet owners,” Durand said. Operator comfort and ease of use are inherent to the machine’s design. The H1256 features an ergonomic cab with intuitive controls, multiple load chart placements for quick reference and a spacious layout to reduce operator fatigue. A 9” display provides clear engine and machine information, supporting easier troubleshooting and more efficient service.


Warranty and support


LGMG telehandlers are supported by the company’s industry-leading three-year, 3,000-hour warranty.*


“We listen closely to our rental partners, and long-term support is a core part of how we serve this market,” Durand said. “Warranties don’t mean much unless you have the structure to back them. We have a nationwide team of technicians ready to provide assistance.”
