Engineered for Productivity, Reliability & Value
Four core advantages that lower your total cost of ownership and keep your jobsite running.
Reinforced Frame
Upgraded front & rear frames with optimized load distribution deliver higher lifting capacity and long-term structural stability under heavy duty cycles.
Lower Fuel Use
Patented dual-pump converging flow technology plus a turbocharged intercooled Weichai engine cut fuel consumption by 8–12% versus conventional models.
High Maneuverability
Short wheelbase, large steering angle and small turning radius make the LT955 highly flexible in confined spaces like harbors and narrow construction sites.
Easy Maintenance
Exposed brake calipers, centralized electrical box, openable engine hood and externally routed grease nipples simplify daily service and reduce downtime.
