Mega deal: 80 Manitou for Luibl
Luibl makes major purchase from French manufacturer including Manitou flagship MRT 3570 35m / 7 tonne Roto telehandler. Rental company Luibl Rental & Sales has made a major purchase from Manitou for 2022 and is expanding its rental fleet by 80 Manitou machines. With this major investment of several million euros, Luibl aims to offer an even more extensive range of rental products and offer its rental customers modern construction machinery and telehandlers from a leading manufacturer.
The order, which was completed in the summer, includes almost the entire range of work platforms, a slew of modern rigid telescopic forklifts from the MT series including new models and, last but not least, the new futuristic MRT telescopic forklift models. In the work platform range, the order includes aerial platforms between 12m and 28m. It includes electric articulated boom lifts from 12m to 20m, including the new all-terrain battery-powered articulated boom lift 200 ATJ E. For industrial applications, additional electric articulated boom lifts 120 AETJ-C 3D, 150 AETJ-C 3D, 170 AETJ-L 3D are being purchased, which offer users a high level of comfort during rental operations thanks to the 3D corbaram. In addition, diesel-powered articulated platforms from 16m to 20m with the models 160 ATJ, 160 ATJ+ with 408kg lifting capacity, 180 ATJ and 200 ATJ. The diesel-powered articulated boom lifts are perfect for rentals where the advantages of Manitou articulated boom lifts are important. These are all-wheel steering and endless rotation, which distinguish the lifts from those of other manufacturers. The modern Kubota Stage V engine underlines the claims of both companies with sustainable machine technology. The order also includes the 220TJ+ and 280TJ telescopic boom lifts, which again score points with their all-wheel steering and high lifting capacity. Some of the machines were ordered with low-marking tires. In order to meet the highest quality standards in the field of rigid rental telescopic handlers, investments were made in numerous Manitou telescopic handlers. Luibl has expanded its rental range to include the following machines: compact MT 420 and MT 625 telescopic handlers with 2 and 2.5 tons load capacity, the new innovative MT 930 model with 3 tons load capacity, the classic Manitou MT 1440 and MT 1840 with 4 tons load capacity. Luibl owner Karl Bauer inspected the newly developed Manitou telescopic handler MT 930 together with Key Account Manager Simon Rath at the Platformer Days and was impressed by the compact dimensions and respectable performance data of the telescopic handler. Luibl boss Karl Bauer also appreciates the high reliability and low downtimes of Manitou telehandlers.
The Roto telescopic handler range was also purchased heavily to supplement the packages from competitor Magni already integrated into the fleet. Customers should be free to choose which innovative construction machines they want to use for their projects. The expansion in the rotor telescopic forklift range includes almost all new Manitou models: Manitou MRT 1845 Vision with 18m lifting height and 4.5 tons lifting capacity, as the successor to the MRT 1840 easy, the new Vision+ models MRT 2260, MRT 2660, MRT 3060 with now 6 tons instead of 5 tons lifting capacity and 22m, 26m and 30m lifting height respectively. Most recently, the new largest Manitou telescopic handler MRT 3570 Vision Plus with a maximum lifting height of 35m and a lifting capacity of 7 tons was purchased. This means that the new models have the same lifting height of 35 m as the competitor Merlo. The only missing model is the heavy-duty Roto MRT 2570, where Luibl Rental & Sales recently invested in some Magni RTH 7.26s. The new additions will be available with all accessories such as buckets, load hooks, long load hooks, cable winches for use as cranes, lattice boom cable winches, fold-out work baskets and much more. As a new addition to the rental range, Luibl can now offer a workman basket that can be folded out to 6 m for special applications. This gives the operator the same wide working area as a scissor lift with the reach of a telehandler. All telehandlers are also equipped as standard with trailer pins and radio remote control for operating the lifting functions of the telehandler and rotating the uppercarriage, for maximum user-friendliness in rental.
The expansion of the ultra-modern Luibl rental fleet is thus being driven forward. According to Karl Bauer, Luibl operates the most modern fleet of specialized equipment in Europe with dozens of large machines, most of which are only 1-2 years old. In addition to numerous other telescopic forklifts of the Manitou, Merlo and Magni brands up to 39 meters lifting height, Luibl also has many work platforms and special forklifts in its range. Luibl offers end customers and re-renters a wide range of exceptional machines such as 48m and 57m Genie SX-150 and Genie SX-180 telescopic platforms, diesel scissor lifts up to 34m from Holland Lift and JLG Liftlux or high-bay scissor lifts from 22m to 33m from PB and HAB. With its own fleet of trucks and low-loaders, Luibl guarantees delivery of special equipment throughout Europe. Investments have also been made here for 2022.
