Rent Forklifts in Amstetten – Counterbalance Forklifts, Electric Forklifts & Heavy-Duty Forklifts

As the district capital in the Mostviertel region, Amstetten is a key industrial and logistics hub in the heart of Lower Austria. Businesses in metalworking, the timber industry, construction and warehouse logistics regularly need powerful industrial trucks – for project-based peaks, machine downtime or seasonal capacity increases. Luibl Rental & Sales delivers AM-VO-tested forklifts directly to Amstetten and throughout the greater Lower Austria–Upper Austria region.

Luibl's rental fleet includes several forklift classes covering the different requirements in and around Amstetten.

Counterbalance forklifts – electric, diesel and LPG

The counterbalance forklift is the most in-demand machine for warehouses, construction sites and production facilities. Luibl offers electric counterbalance forklifts (zero local emissions, low noise, for indoor use), diesel counterbalance forklifts (for outdoor areas, gravel surfaces and weather-resistant operation), as well as LPG-powered models (flexible for both indoor and outdoor use). Load capacities in the standard segment range from 1.5 to 5 tonnes.

Example machine: EP EFL352 – 3,500 kg load capacity, 4.80 m lift height, electric drive.

All-terrain forklifts

Uneven ground, gravel tracks and outdoor construction sites call for machines with all-wheel drive and increased ground clearance. All-terrain forklifts are especially in demand on construction sites in the Amstetten–Waidhofen an der Ybbs–Steyr region – anywhere paved surfaces are lacking but pallets, formwork panels or steel pipes still need to be moved.

Example machine: Manitou M30-4 – 3,000 kg load capacity, 4.75 m lift height, diesel drive.

Heavy-duty forklifts

For special industrial tasks with exceptional load requirements from 10 tonnes upward, heavy-duty forklifts are available. These machines handle heavy machine components in plant and machinery construction, large containers and heavy-transport tasks on company premises.

Example machine: Kalmar DCG 160-12T – 16,000 kg load capacity, 4.50 m lift height, diesel drive.

Order pickers / high-lift stackers

For narrow-aisle warehouse logistics with tall racking, high-lift order pickers round out the fleet. They combine a narrow footprint with high lifting capacity – ideal for optimizing storage space in logistics centres and wholesale operations around Amstetten.

Typical applications for rental forklifts in the region:

• Construction sites and civil engineering: Handling steel beams, formwork panels, precast concrete elements and building materials on outdoor construction sites

• Production and manufacturing facilities: In-house transport of semi-finished parts, raw materials and finished goods

• Warehousing and logistics companies: Storage, order picking and rack servicing in warehouses

• Timber and sawmill industry: Stacking and transporting timber packages, round bales and pallet boxes – for the wood-processing industry in the Mostviertel region

• Metalworking and plant engineering: Positioning heavy machine components during initial installation and maintenance work

• Events and trade fairs: Setting up and dismantling stages, equipment and infrastructure

Renting a forklift is especially worthwhile for project-bound assignments, when your own forklift is being repaired, or when seasonal peaks in demand need to be covered – without building up a permanent fleet.

All forklifts in the Luibl rental fleet meet the requirements of the Austrian Ordinance on Work Equipment (AM-VO) and are regularly inspected and maintained to AUVA standards. For customers in Amstetten, this means in concrete terms:

• Legal certainty: work equipment tested under Section 7 AM-VO – no independent testing effort required

• Complete documentation: maintenance and inspection records are handed over with the machine

• Compliant with accident insurance requirements: equipment meets AUVA guidelines for commercial use

For businesses that regularly face labour inspectors or audits, this point is decisive: with Luibl equipment, you are on the safe side.

Luibl operates its own fleet of low-loader trucks for the safe and documented transport of all rental equipment. For customers in Amstetten, this means:

• Delivery area: Amstetten, Steyr, Waidhofen an der Ybbs, Haag, Perg, St. Poelten, Linz – all of Lower Austria and Upper Austria, as well as Europe-wide

• Delivery time: Often available at short notice, depending on equipment availability

• Setup and briefing: Technical briefing on handover, on request

• Collection: Flexible pickup at the end of the rental period via the return notification form

Luibl Rental & Sales offers adaptable rental models for any project duration:

• Daily rental: For one-off assignments and short assembly projects

• Weekly rental: The standard solution for defined construction phases and time-limited projects

• Monthly rental / long-term rental: The most cost-effective option for multi-month utilisation or a permanent increase in capacity

Individual quotes are provided on request – rental costs depend on machine type, load capacity, lift height, drive type and rental duration.
