Work platform & forklift hire Amsterdam
Amsterdam is currently transforming large parts of its port and industrial areas: the Haven-Stad project is transforming the Westelijk Havengebied around Sloterdijk into a new city district with around 70,000 homes and 58,000 jobs, while further large-scale projects are underway in Amstelkwartier and on Zeeburgereiland. For the construction companies, logistics firms and industrial operations delivering these projects, Luibl GmbH supplies DGUV-inspected work platforms, forklifts and telehandlers directly from Bavaria – with its own cross-border transport logistics to the Netherlands.
Work platforms for Amsterdam
For facade work on new builds and assembly in halls, electric scissor lifts such as the SBE-141 (Genie GS 4069DC, 14.12 m working height, 363 kg load capacity, bi-energy) and the SBE-320 (PB S320-14ES 4x4, 32.07 m working height, 750 kg load capacity, twin energy) are available.
Both drive variants combine electric operation for emission-sensitive city-centre use with additional engine power for rough construction-site terrain.
For hard-to-reach areas, such as the confined construction sites of Amsterdam's old town or in the new development areas of Haven-Stad, the articulating boom lift GTE-109 (Genie Z30/20 N RJ, 10.89 m working height, 6.25 m lateral outreach, electric drive) is suitable.
All work platforms meet the requirements of BetrSichV and are technically inspected before every rental.
Forklifts and telehandlers for Amsterdam
For handling and logistics tasks around the port and commercial areas, counterbalance, rough-terrain and heavy-duty forklifts are available, complemented by telehandlers for construction logistics and material transport.
The Roto telehandler TSR-5025 (Magni RTH 5.25SH, 25.00 m lifting height, 5,000 kg load capacity, 21.20 m lateral outreach, diesel drive), with its 360° superstructure rotation, is particularly suitable for assembly work on confined city-centre construction sites. With the appropriate attachment – basket, cable winch or forks – it can act as either a work platform or a crane, an advantage where requirements change on mixed residential and commercial construction projects.
The rental fleet also includes fixed telehandlers with lifting heights of 21 m, 25 m, 30 m and up to 35 m.
All forklifts comply with DGUV Regulation 68 and are handed over with proof of inspection.
