Rent Forklifts in Brandenburg: 53 Models up to 33 t

You can rent forklifts from us for warehouses, workshops and construction sites anywhere in Brandenburg, choosing from 53 models: electric, diesel and LPG forklifts, all-terrain and heavy-duty forklifts as well as high-lift stackers, with 1,200 to 33,000 kg lifting capacity and up to 6.07 m lift height. Between Prignitz and Lusatia, job sites differ widely: smooth hall floors in the logistics centres along the Berlin Ring, sand and gravel surfaces on farms and solar construction sites, heavy components in steel and chemical plants. Which forklift fits is therefore decided first by the ground, then by load and lift height. We suggest the right model and deliver it from our location in Passau to your job site.

The ground determines which type drives safely and keeps the load stable. Three surface types cover the jobs in Brandenburg.

Hall floor and loading ramp: electric counterbalance forklifts and high-lift stackers

On smooth, load-bearing hall floors, electric forklifts work quietly and without exhaust at the job site. The rental fleet includes 22 models with 1,500 to 10,000 kg lifting capacity and 3.45 to 6.00 m lift height. For racking and order picking, 6 high-lift stackers with 1,200 to 2,000 kg and up to 5.50 m lift height complete the range.

Yard, loading area and outdoor storage: diesel and LPG forklifts

On asphalt, paving and compacted gravel, diesel forklifts show their strength in continuous operation: 11 models with 3,000 to 10,000 kg and 4.50 to 6.00 m. If you switch between yard and well-ventilated hall and there is no charging infrastructure, LPG forklifts are an alternative: 3 models with 1,800 to 7,000 kg and 5.04 to 6.03 m.

Sand, grass and construction site: all-terrain forklifts

Many areas in Brandenburg are sandy and unpaved, for example on farms, timber yards and energy park construction sites. There you need all-terrain forklifts built for unpaved terrain. Four models are available, the Manitou M30-4 and M50-4 as well as the Ausa C300H x4 and C500H x4, with 3,000 to 5,000 kg and 4.75 to 5.45 m lift height.

The table shows the ranges per type according to the data sheets and the typical use in Brandenburg.

The machines come from EP, Hyundai, Manitou, Kalmar, Doosan, Ausa and Maximal Forklift. The heaviest model is the Kalmar DCG 330-12T with 33,000 kg lifting capacity; the greatest lift height is reached by the Hyundai 80D-9 with 6.07 m. You will find all heavy-duty forklifts and further models in the overview Rent Forklifts.

A forklift with 5,000 kg rated capacity only lifts 5,000 kg if the centre of gravity of the load lies at the distance stated on the capacity plate. If it lies further forward, the permissible load falls.

Long and bulky goods shift the centre of gravity

Steel beams, precast concrete elements, logs or cable drums often protrude beyond the fork tips. The centre of gravity moves forward and the residual capacity drops. Plan with a reserve and tell us the dimensions of the load as well as its weight.

A high lift height reduces the permissible load

At full height, depending on the mast, a forklift may often lift less than close to the ground. The capacity plate of the specific machine is decisive. If you store pallets at 6 m, choose the model by the load at this height, not by the rated capacity.

The state's economic structure shapes which forklifts are in demand.

Logistics along the Berlin Ring

In the freight villages of Grossbeeren and Wustermark and in the Freienbrink business park, handling and order picking take place in large halls. Electric forklifts and high-lift stackers are in demand here, often as additional machines for seasonal peaks or for stocking the warehouses of new tenants.

Industry on the Oder, the Havel and in Lusatia

Steelworks in Eisenhuettenstadt and Brandenburg an der Havel, the refinery and the paper industry in Schwedt and the chemical site in Schwarzheide move heavy components, coils and mesh boxes. For overhauls and shutdowns, heavy-duty and diesel forklifts supplement the company's own fleet.

Agriculture, timber and energy parks

In Uckermark, Prignitz and Havelland, seed, fertiliser and big bags are handled on farmyards. When solar and wind parks are built, all-terrain forklifts unload module pallets and material directly on sandy ground.

Depending on the destination, it is around 550 to 700 km from our location in Passau to Brandenburg. We plan the transport and agree the delivery time and unloading point with you. You set the rental period by arrangement, from a short job to bridging several months.

To ensure a smooth handover, we clarify in advance:

• access and unloading area for the truck, and for heavy-duty forklifts also the bearing capacity of the ground. According to the data sheet, the Kalmar DCG 250-25T weighs 32,990 kg.

• contact person and time window at the job site

• for electric forklifts, the charging facilities on site

• for LPG forklifts, the supply of gas cylinders

Plan heavy-duty and all-terrain forklifts early, because these types are less common in the rental fleet than electric and diesel forklifts.

Anyone who drives a forklift must, according to DGUV Regulation 68, be at least 18 years old, suitable, trained and authorised in writing by the company. Training follows DGUV Principle 308-001. As the operator, you instruct your drivers on the specific machine and the job site in accordance with Section 12 of the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV) and Section 12 of the German Occupational Safety and Health Act (ArbSchG).

Before starting work, the driver checks brakes, steering, forks, lifting chains and warning devices. On sand and slopes, the driver travels with the load lowered and avoids driving across the slope.

If your staff lack forklift training, we can put you in touch with a certified training provider, at your premises, at our Passau location or by arrangement. Find out more under Training through certified partners.

Tell us the job site, ground, heaviest load with dimensions, required lift height, preferred drive and rental period. We will recommend the right model and plan the delivery from Passau. For lifting work with outreach, telehandlers in Brandenburg are suitable; you will find further machines under Rental equipment in Brandenburg. Contact us now
