Façade renovations in the historic city centre, assembly work on the RWTH campus, roof maintenance in the industrial estates of the city region: the demand for reliable telescopic boom lifts in Aachen is diverse. Luibl Rental hires out telescopic boom lifts with working heights from 14 to 57 m and outreach of up to 28 m – ready-to-use equipment from Genie, JLG and Haulotte, delivered directly to your site using our own low-loaders.

What Telescopic Boom Lifts Deliver: Maximum Outreach on a Direct Path

Telescopic boom lifts (also known as straight boom lifts or telescopic booms) extend their boom in a straight line – with no elbow joint and no lateral swing. This allows controlled, direct approach to façades, ridges and ceilings even where articulated telescopic boom lifts would need too much manoeuvring space.

The machines in Luibl's rental fleet cover a broad range:

You can find the full rental fleet of all telescopic boom lifts at Rent telescopic boom lifts.

Four-wheel drive and off-road capability: Aachen construction sites rarely offer ideal ground conditions – from compacted surfaces in the old town to unpaved yard areas in Würselen or Stolberg. Diesel models with 4×4 drive and automatic levelling handle gradients of up to 45% and can be positioned safely even on uneven terrain.

Above-standard load capacities: The Genie S-45XC carries 454 kg – more than double comparable standard classes – relevant for assembly work where heavy tools and materials need to be carried on the platform at the same time.

Areas of Use in Aachen and the City Region

The Aachen city region comprises, alongside the core city, the municipalities of Alsdorf, Baesweiler, Eschweiler, Herzogenrath, Monschau, Roetgen, Simmerath, Stolberg and Würselen. Luibl delivers throughout the entire area using its own low-loaders – reliable scheduling, no middlemen, no external haulage costs as an uncontrollable variable.

RWTH Aachen and university construction: With Campus Melaten, Campus West and Campus Mitte, RWTH Aachen is one of the largest universities in Germany by area. Building renovations, extensions and maintenance work on tall institute buildings regularly require telescopic boom lifts in the 15 to 40 m range.

Historic city centre and listed-building protection: Restoration work on Aachen Cathedral, on the buildings around the Katschhof and on listed façades on Pontstraße requires access equipment with a small footprint. Telescopic boom lifts allow precise approach on narrow pavements and restricted set-up areas.

Avantis – German-Dutch business park: The Avantis business park on the border with Heerlen is home to internationally active industrial and research companies. Regular maintenance work on hall roofs, plant infrastructure and external façades requires four-wheel-drive-capable machines with working heights from 20 m upward.

Rothe Erde, Haaren and industrial sites in Stolberg: The industrial areas along Lagerhausstraße and in Stolberg are classic application areas for telescopic boom lifts in the medium and large height segment – boiler maintenance, steel construction work, cable and pipe installation in tall halls.

Aachen University Hospital (UKA): As one of the largest hospitals in North Rhine-Westphalia, UKA continuously carries out renovation and expansion work. Aerial work platforms of various classes are regularly required for external façades and technical infrastructure at the hospital building.

Diesel, Electric or Hybrid – the Right Drive Type for Your Job

Diesel Stage V is the standard for outdoor use in Aachen city and across the city region. Stage V is frequently mandated as a minimum standard in municipal tender specifications and by main contractors. Luibl fits its actively rented diesel models with Stage V engines; model-specific certificates are available on request.

Electric telescopic boom lifts are the right choice as soon as work moves indoors – in production halls in Würselen, in UKA hospital buildings, or in university buildings on the RWTH campus. Locally emission-free, low noise, non-marking tyres for sensitive hall floors.

Bi-energy and hybrid models switch on the same working day between diesel operation outdoors and electric operation inside a hall – practical for mixed renovation projects where a second machine is not needed.

DGUV 308-009: Obligations When Operating Aerial Work Platforms

In Germany: aerial work platforms are not vehicles requiring a driving licence, but operating one is not without requirements. DGUV Regulation 308-009 requires employers to formally assign operators in writing and to ensure documented instruction.

Luibl supports you in meeting these obligations:

  • Handover briefing: Luibl's delivery staff hand over every machine together with the operating documentation, explaining wind-load limits, the requirement for personal fall-arrest protection (PSAgA), and the emergency lowering function.

  • Technical documentation: Data sheets and load charts are provided with the machine – as a basis for your risk assessment under BetrSichV.

  • Safety inspection: All rental machines are regularly inspected by approved experts; inspection certificates available on request.

You can find an overview of other aerial work platform types for Aachen on the Rent aerial work platforms page for Aachen.
