Construction Machinery, Aerial Work Platform and Forklift Hire
Machinery hire for industry and construction: aerial work platforms, telehandlers, forklifts, construction machinery and cranes, Europe-wide from Passau.
The efficient execution of construction projects, industrial installations or municipal deployments stands or falls with the availability of the right equipment. As a machinery hire company with its own rental fleet, Luibl Rental offers you a comprehensive portfolio of state-of-the-art hire machines tailored precisely to the requirements of professional users. We see ourselves not only as a hire company but as a technical partner giving you Europe-wide access to specialist equipment from renowned manufacturers such as Magni, Manitou, Merlo and Liebherr. In an industry where downtime causes high costs, Luibl Rental guarantees the success of your project through maximum machine availability and excellent service.
Our rental fleet: equipment for the highest demands
The Luibl Rental range covers a wide variety of categories serving different technical priorities. We consistently rely on young fleets in order to minimise the risk of breakdowns and to offer the latest emissions and safety technology. Our hire fleet is designed so that we have the right solution ready both for standard tasks and for highly complex special requirements.
Which machine do you need? The quick start
Five equipment areas, one question: what needs to be moved — and where to?
- Personnel and material up to height → aerial work platforms. Six design types from 6 to 57 m, from the narrow electric scissor lift for standard doorways to the telescopic boom lift for facades and industrial assembly.
- Lifting loads while reaching forward → telehandlers. Fixed for straight lifting, roto for 360-degree work from a fixed position, heavy-duty for everything above that.
- Moving pallets and general cargo on site → forklifts. Electric for the hall, diesel and all-terrain forklifts for outdoors, heavy-duty forklifts for heavy industrial loads.
- Moving soil and bulk material → construction machinery. Excavators for excavation and dismantling, wheel loaders for rapid material handling.
- Lifting loads over long distances and heights → cranes. Mobile cranes for classic mobile crane deployment, mini cranes for interiors, roofs and courtyards.
Not sure which area is the right one? That is the normal case on projects where earthworks, material handling and work at height run in parallel. Describe the application to us — you will get equipment from all areas through one point of contact, with coordinated delivery dates and a single invoice.
Aerial work platforms for every application
From compact scissor lifts for indoor use through to rough terrain telescopic boom lifts for extreme working heights, we cover the entire spectrum. Particular emphasis is placed on locally emission-free electric drives for hall deployment and powerful diesel units with all-wheel drive for demanding outdoor use.
-
Scissor lifts: ideal for vertical lifts with a large platform capacity and room for several people including tools.
-
Articulating boom lifts: perfect for reaching over obstacles at height and precisely accessing hard-to-reach points.
-
Truck-mounted platforms: maximum mobility for changing locations, ideal for local authorities and facade cleaners.
-
Mast lifts: compact helpers for maintenance work in narrow racking aisles or during stocktaking.
Telehandlers – fixed and roto
Our fleet includes fixed telehandlers for classic lifting tasks as well as rotating models (roto), which through their continuous rotation can act as an efficient crane replacement. With lift heights of up to 39 metres and capacities of up to 25 tonnes we set standards in the industry. The Magni and Manitou models in our fleet are known worldwide for their precise load control and unmatched stability. Thanks to variable outriggers, roto telehandlers can also be positioned safely on uneven terrain.

Luibl is your competent partner for the hire of construction machinery. We offer you a large number of hire machines at fair prices, good service and personal advice.
Forklifts and heavy-duty logistics
For material handling in warehouses or on open sites, Luibl Rental offers industrial forklifts, all-terrain forklifts and heavy-duty forklifts. Our heavy-duty specialists move loads of up to 25 tonnes confidently and safely, supported by state-of-the-art load moment limiters and ergonomic cabs that make fatigue-free work possible over long shifts.
Sector-specific hire solutions: we know your challenges
Luibl Rental serves specific sectors with tailored equipment and a deep understanding of the respective operational hurdles:
-
Construction and building construction: time pressure and harsh conditions are the standard here. We deliver robust telehandlers and large-area scissor lifts on time for the start on site, including on-site familiarisation. Our machines are often equipped with particulate filters so that work can also be carried out safely in semi-enclosed shell buildings.
-
Industry and maintenance: for work in confined workshops we offer narrow electric platforms with white tyres (non-marking tyres) that protect the floor covering and cause no harmful emissions. The integration of 230 V connections directly in the platform makes maintenance work considerably easier.
-
Event and exhibition technology: flawless-looking equipment available at short notice is a must here. Luibl Rental supports the construction of complex stage structures, lighting systems and temporary infrastructure.
-
Energy-efficient refurbishment and glazing: through specialised attachments such as glass vacuum lifters and platforms with extremely high capacity we make it possible to install heavy triple glazing efficiently in modern facades.
-
Tree care and landscaping: rough terrain articulating boom lifts with special tyres provide access to parks or woodland edges without excessively compacting the ground.
Technical expertise and special equipment
What distinguishes Luibl Rental from classic hire companies is the depth of our technical advice. Every project has specific requirements in terms of reach, capacity and ground conditions. Our machines have state-of-the-art features such as radio remote controls that allow the operator to control loads from outside the cab with the best view of the target point.
A particular focus is on versatility through attachments. A telehandler at Luibl Rental is far more than a fork machine. By quickly changing attachments via hydraulic quick couplers, you turn one machine into a multifunctional tool:
-
Winches: turn the handler into a fully-fledged mobile crane for precise lifting tasks.
-
Lattice jib extensions: increase the reach and hook height for delicate assembly work over obstructions.
-
Work platforms: with integrated controls they enable the safe transport of personnel and material to extreme heights.
-
Buckets: make the machine fit for excavation, bulk material handling or winter maintenance on company premises.
Project example: glass facade construction at height
A recent project for an industrial customer required the installation of heavy glass elements on a facade at a height of 25 metres. The challenge lay in the combination of the necessary precision and limited space at ground level. For this, Luibl Rental provided a rotating telehandler of the Magni RTH type, equipped with a specialised glass manipulator. Through the 360-degree continuous rotation and millimetre-precise control, the team was able to position the elements safely without having to reposition the machine several times. This saved the customer around 20 % of the calculated deployment time and reduced the risk of breakage of the costly glass elements to a minimum.
Project example: major logistics project in the Port of Hamburg
To unload oversized special containers, a logistics partner needed two heavy-duty forklifts at short notice, each with a capacity of 16 tonnes. Luibl Rental coordinated the logistics promptly from several locations. Despite the difficult ground conditions on the quay, the machines were able to complete the deployment without delay thanks to their large-volume pneumatic tyres and powerful Stage V diesel engines. This example underlines the enormous flexibility and the logistical backbone of Luibl Rental on time-critical major contracts in an international environment.
The hire process at Luibl Rental: simple, transparent, secure
To make planning easier for you, we have streamlined our hire process both digitally and analogue for efficiency. In just four steps you get to the right machine for your site:
-
Requirements analysis: contact our experts by phone or web enquiry. We clarify parameters such as maximum lift height, required side reach, capacity at the load centre of gravity, ground conditions and the necessary drive type (electric vs. diesel).
-
Individual quote: you will receive a transparent quote promptly. We itemise all costs — from the basic hire rate through machinery breakdown insurance to transport costs and any costs for attachments.
-
Logistics and familiarisation: we deliver the machine with our own low-loaders or via long-standing logistics partners precisely on the desired date. Our trained driving personnel give your team detailed instruction on site in operation, the emergency lowering systems and the safety features.
-
Support during the hire period: should technical questions or unforeseen challenges arise, our technical support is available immediately. After the project is completed, Luibl Rental promptly deregisters and collects the machine.
Safety and quality
The safety of your employees is non-negotiable for Luibl Rental. As a specialist hire company we stand for the highest standards, going far beyond the statutory minimum:
-
Statutory safety inspections (UVV): every machine has a complete, up-to-date inspection record. We carry out an internal inspection after every deployment in order to rule out mechanical or hydraulic defects immediately.
-
Maintenance to manufacturer specifications: we use exclusively original spare parts in order to guarantee the reliability and capacity values of the machines in the long term.
-
PPE advice: we actively inform you about the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) against falls. You can hire the appropriate safety equipment directly from us.
-
Operator certificates: we support compliance with the DGUV regulations and check operators' authorisations before handover (e.g. IPAF, System Card or telehandler licence) in order to minimise liability risks for you as the employer.
Cost-efficiency: hiring instead of buying at Luibl Rental
For many businesses, long-term hire at Luibl Rental is economically more attractive than tying up capital through ownership. In a time of fluctuating construction activity, hiring offers decisive advantages:
-
Predictable fixed costs: you pay only for the time during which the machine is actually working on site. No costs for storage, insurance or maintenance during idle periods.
-
Tax optimisation: hire charges are immediately deductible operating expenses, which protects your liquidity.
-
Innovation guarantee: you always work with the latest technology. Modern machines consume less fuel and have better telematics systems for monitoring deployment.
-
Flexibility: if requirements on site change (e.g. higher storeys), we will exchange the hire machine for a larger model from our fleet without complications.
Construction machinery and cranes in the rental fleet
In addition to powered access technology and forklifts, our equipment hire covers two further areas that are regularly requested together on construction sites.
Construction machinery – for earthworks, excavation and material handling. Crawler excavators handle excavation and dismantling to great depths, wheel loaders rapid material handling on paved and unpaved surfaces. Decisive for the selection are operating weight, reach and the bearing capacity of the ground.
Cranes – for lifts that lie beyond the reach of telehandlers. Mobile cranes cover classic mobile crane deployment when loads have to be moved over greater distances and heights. Mini cranes work where no mobile crane can get: indoors, on roofs, in courtyards and wherever passage width and floor loading are tightly limited.
On many projects the areas interlock — earthworks, material handling and work at height run in parallel. The advantage of a construction machinery hire company with a broad portfolio is that you get equipment from all areas through one point of contact, one delivery date and one invoice.
What does machinery hire cost? The factors at a glance
Hire prices in machinery hire cannot be stated as a flat rate — but the factors they are made up of are the same in every equipment area:
- Equipment class: design type, working height or capacity and performance class determine the basic hire rate.
- Drive and equipment: electric, diesel or hybrid, all-wheel drive, special tyres and attachments affect the rate.
- Hire period: daily, weekly and monthly rates are staggered. The longer the term, the lower the calculated daily rate. From several months, long-term hire with its own terms is generally the more economical option.
- Transport: delivery and collection are shown separately from the machine hire and depend on the distance from our Passau location, transport weight and accessibility of the site.
- Additional services: machinery breakdown insurance, on-site familiarisation and special equipment are calculated separately.
In every quote from Luibl Rental, basic hire rate, transport, insurance and additional services are itemised separately — so you can compare instead of having to accept a single total. Always included are an inspected machine with a valid inspection, maintenance and recurring inspections during the hire period, and technical advice on machine selection.
