Hire aerial work platforms in Basel – scissor lifts, telehandlers & heavy-duty equipment
Whether maintenance work in Roche or Novartis production halls, facade work in Kleinbasel or construction projects at the Rhine port: Luibl delivers aerial work platforms, telehandlers and heavy-duty equipment directly to your construction site in Basel – at short notice, SUVA-inspected and with the option of cross-border delivery into the tri-border region.
Aerial work platforms for indoor and outdoor use in Basel
The Luibl range covers working heights from under 8 m up to 110 m. For the pharmaceutical and chemical industry – the main customers in the Basel economic area – electric scissor lifts and articulating boom lifts with no exhaust emissions at the point of use are available, with which production machines can be safely bridged and maintained. For outdoor sites and terrain with uneven ground, we supply diesel and all-wheel-drive telescopic boom lifts and spider lifts.
Available types for Basel:
-
Scissor lifts (electric): working heights from 7.60 m (e.g. Genie GS 1932), ideal for hall work in logistics and production
-
Articulating boom lifts (diesel): working height up to 25.77 m, lateral reach up to 18.29 m – for hard-to-reach areas in chemical and pharmaceutical plants
-
Telescopic boom lifts: e.g. Genie S-65 – 21.80 m working height, 17.10 m lateral reach, diesel
-
Truck-mounted work platforms: road-approved, flexible without a transport vehicle
-
Spider lifts: for soft terrain, gravel and uneven outdoor surfaces
-
High-rack scissor lifts: for warehouses with metre-high racking
Hire heavy-duty telehandlers & forklifts
In the Basel area, Luibl has one of the most powerful ranges in the region: the Merlo P. 120.10 HM achieves a load capacity of 12,000 kg at 9.80 m lifting height – a machine that hardly any local provider keeps in stock. The Merlo Roto 50.21S (4,950 kg, 21.00 m lifting height, 17.90 m lateral reach) covers, in rotating operation, loads that telescopic boom lifts cannot reach.
In addition, counterbalance forklifts (electric and diesel), all-terrain forklifts and heavy-duty forklifts are available for material transport and intralogistics. All telehandlers can be combined with attachments – pallet fork, bucket, personnel basket on request.
Delivery area Basel and the tri-border region
Luibl supplies Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft including Liestal, Pratteln, Muttenz, Reinach, Allschwil, Binningen and Rheinfelden. Thanks to the Europe-wide delivery network, supply is also possible to the German area of Loerrach / Freiburg im Breisgau as well as to the French Alsace (Saint-Louis, Mulhouse) – an advantage for companies with cross-border projects.
