Rent Forklifts in Bielefeld

Whether on a construction site in Sennestadt, in a production hall in the Brackwede commercial area or in a logistics centre near the A2 motorway – anyone who needs to rent a forklift in Bielefeld needs a partner who delivers: technically reliable, DGUV-compliant and without delay. Luibl Rental provides electric forklifts, diesel forklifts, all-terrain forklifts and heavy-duty forklifts with load capacities from 1.2 to 25 tonnes and transports them with our own low-loader fleet directly to your construction site or into your hall.

The delivery area covers Bielefeld, Herford, Guetersloh, Paderborn, Detmold and the entire Ostwestfalen-Lippe (OWL) region. Short-term hire is just as possible as long-term projects – the technically suitable machine for every period, with instruction on site.

The choice of drive determines where and how efficiently a forklift can be used. Luibl Rental offers all four drive types – matched to the typical requirements in Bielefeld and the OWL region.

Electric forklifts – for halls, warehouses and production

Electric forklifts are the standard solution for indoor use. They operate locally emission-free, with low noise and without exhaust fumes – a decisive factor in the food industry, in pharmaceutical logistics and in every hall where ventilation capacity is limited. Many models in the Luibl fleet are fitted with non-marking tyres, which prevent abrasion marks on sensitive industrial floors.

Modern lithium-ion batteries allow interim charging during work breaks without damaging the battery – which makes multi-shift operation realistic without changing batteries. For narrow warehouse aisles, high-lift stackers and reach trucks designed for minimum aisle widths are available.

Diesel forklifts – for outdoor use, construction sites and heavy loads

On paved outdoor areas, on construction sites and in poorly ventilated outdoor zones, diesel forklifts are the more powerful choice. No charging times, high tractive power even on slopes and robust technology for intensive continuous duty characterise this class. All diesel machines at Luibl Rental meet the Stage V emissions standard and are equipped with a particulate filter.

For heavy-duty applications – machine transport, container handling, industrial loads above 10 tonnes – we offer heavy-duty forklifts from Kalmar and Manitou with load capacities of up to 25 tonnes.

All-terrain forklifts – for construction sites and uneven ground

On unpaved ground, standard counterbalance forklifts are not suitable. All-terrain forklifts with all-wheel drive, increased ground clearance and adapted tyres take over the work there. Luibl Rental stocks the Manitou M30-4 (3 tonnes) and M50-4 (5 tonnes) as well as the Ausa C300H x4 and C500H x4 – reliable machines for construction sites in the area around Bielefeld, in open-air storage yards or on agricultural holdings.

Gas forklifts – flexible between indoor and outdoor use

LPG gas forklifts offer an alternative when neither purely electric operation nor diesel is the ideal fit: less soot than diesel, more flexibility than electric. Typical in areas with alternating indoor and outdoor use, or in halls with limited but sufficient ventilation. Luibl Rental keeps gas forklifts from Hyundai in load classes from 1.8 to 7 tonnes in stock.

Many rental enquiries in Bielefeld do not involve standard pallets, but bulky loads, special formats or narrow aisles. Luibl Rental offers attachments on request:

• Side shifter: precise lateral positioning of the load without repositioning the truck – ideal in narrow racking aisles or when loading containers

• Fork positioner: hydraulic adjustment of the fork width to different pallet formats (EUR, industrial, special dimensions)

• Double pallet forks: picking up two pallets at once for higher handling performance in warehouse logistics

• Load arms and crane hooks: use as a temporary lifting device for suspended, asymmetrical or framed loads

One decisive technical note: the rated load capacity stated for a forklift applies to a load centre of 500 mm. With bulky loads that have a greater load centre distance, the permissible capacity decreases. Luibl Rental supplies the corresponding load charts with every rental machine and advises which model is suitable for your specific application.

Luibl Rental operates its own low-loader fleet. This means that the forklift is transported to Bielefeld directly by Luibl Rental – with our own drivers, our own vehicles and departure times that can be planned. No intermediary, no subcontractor.

Especially for enquiries at short notice or for heavy machines (heavy-duty forklifts from 16 tonnes upwards), our own transport creates a clear advantage: Luibl Rental coordinates delivery, positioning and collection from a single source.

All districts of Bielefeld are supplied – from Brackwede via Sennestadt and Stieghorst to Brake and Joellenbeck – as well as the neighbouring districts of Herford, Guetersloh and Paderborn. The connection via the A2 and A33 motorways makes Bielefeld a quickly reachable delivery destination for our fleet.

Bielefeld is a major industrial location in North Rhine-Westphalia. Demand for rental forklifts comes from a variety of sectors:

Industry and manufacturing: production companies in mechanical engineering, electronics and consumer goods need electric forklifts for emission-free material handling inside their halls. Load capacities of 2 to 5 tonnes cover standard requirements.

Food industry and cold stores: HACCP-compliant electric forklifts without hydraulic oil leakage are a given in this sector. Non-marking tyres protect hall floor coatings.

Logistics and order picking: high-lift stackers and reach trucks for narrow-aisle warehouses (aisle widths below 2.8 m), counterbalance forklifts for wide-aisle warehouses. Bielefeld's proximity to the A2 motorway makes the region a logistics hub for north-western Germany.

Construction and civil engineering: diesel forklifts and all-terrain forklifts for heavy loads on construction sites – steel girders, precast concrete elements, site containers. Commercial areas such as Oldentrup or the Brake industrial estate are typical places of use.

Trade fairs and events: compact electric forklifts with a small turning radius for quick set-up and dismantling in exhibition halls.

Agriculture and open-air storage around Bielefeld: all-terrain forklifts Manitou M30-4 and M50-4 for use on unpaved ground – feed stores, timber trading, municipal depots.

Operating a forklift is subject to clear legal requirements in Germany. The central basis is DGUV Vorschrift 68 (DGUV Regulation 68) – Industrial Trucks. It applies to all power-driven industrial trucks and is binding for employers.

Inspection obligation: forklifts must be inspected for operational safety at least once a year by a competent person (UVV inspection in accordance with BetrSichV, the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health). Luibl Rental provides a current inspection certificate with every rental machine.

Driving authorisation and written assignment: a forklift may only be operated by persons who hold a certificate of competence (forklift licence) in accordance with DGUV Grundsatz 308-001 and who have been assigned in writing by the operating company.

Technical requirements: the mast, brakes, warning devices and lighting are checked by Luibl Rental before every handover. The operating manual is supplied with every rental machine.

On request, Luibl Rental provides information on certified training providers for the forklift licence in the Bielefeld and OWL region. We do not offer training courses ourselves.
