LGMG Europe introduced its telehandler range to the market at Intermat 2024 in Paris, which took place in April, where the company showcased the H1840 - the largest telehandler in the company’s range. The model has also since been introduced to North America and Australia.

LGMG’s telehandlers range from a 6m lifting height to 17.6m. Currently, the company has six models available in Europe, with more on their way.

The H1840 is set to appear at upcoming shows, including Platformers’ Days, in Germany, and the UK’s Vertikal Days, and France-based JDL Expo.

“LGMG has a versatile line of telehandlers: compact, high-reach, and rotating — to meet rental companies’ needs with efficiency,” said Forini.

Gallo added that he also looked forward to joining LGMG, “to leverage my years of experience partnering with customers across Europe to ensure their voices are heard and their satisfaction is prioritized. I believe my expertise will make a significant difference in strengthening customer relationships and driving growth in the coming years.”
