Rent Aerial Work Platforms and Construction Machinery in Brno
Brno is a hall market. Unlike Prague, where access to the facade governs the choice of machine, work in South Moravia is predominantly carried out indoors: in production halls in Kralovo Pole and Slatina, at the exhibition centre, in laboratory buildings at the technology park. That shifts the selection criteria — drive type, floor loading and clearance height matter more than working height alone.
Working in production and assembly halls
In a running production environment, three things are non-negotiable: no exhaust fumes, no tyre marks on the hall floor, and the machine has to fit through the sectional door.
Electric scissor lifts meet all three. The rental fleet covers 6.30 to 33.00 m working height, with platform capacities from 227 to 1,000 kg. For work on crane runways, hall lighting and ventilation systems below the roof, the large models from 18 m upwards are the right choice; for maintenance on production lines, 8 to 12 m with a generous platform area is usually enough.
When you enquire, watch two dimensions that are often overlooked: the stowed height (which decides whether the platform gets into the hall at all) and the permissible floor loading — on hall floors with underfloor heating or above basement levels, that is the critical figure.
For rack aisles in the distribution halls along the D1 and D2 motorways, there are high-rack scissor lifts with 18.50 to 33.00 m and a narrow chassis.
Exhibition construction: working to a time slot
The Brno exhibition centre has its own rhythm. Build-up and dismantling run in tight, often night-time windows, with several trades working at the same time, and at the end the hall has to be swept clean.
Mast lifts with 10.00 to 12.65 m are the most practical class for this: light, narrow, repositioned by one person, driveable through standard doorways. For trusses, lighting and banner installation at greater height, compact electric scissor lifts are added.
Plan the rental period beyond the trade fair window — dismantling is delayed more often than build-up, and extending a rental costs less than a second delivery.
Technology park and laboratory buildings
Cleanroom, laboratory and data centre projects bring requirements that play no role on a conventional construction site: non-marking tyres, low-particle drives, work in areas that have already been handed over. State this when you enquire — we match the machine selection to it instead of swapping the machine afterwards.
The rental fleet in figures
| Class | Working height | Platform capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Electric scissor lifts | 6.30 – 33.00 m | 227 – 1,000 kg |
| Diesel scissor lifts | 9.70 – 34.00 m | 363 – 1,134 kg |
| High-rack scissor lifts | 18.50 – 33.00 m | 450 – 1,000 kg |
| Articulating boom lifts | 10.89 – 48.15 m | 150 – 450 kg |
| Telescopic boom lifts | 14.00 – 56.90 m | 227 – 454 kg |
| Mast lifts | 10.00 – 12.65 m | 200 kg |
| Spider lifts | 13.00 – 39.50 m | 200 – 400 kg |
For facade and roof work on existing buildings in Brno where the machine cannot be driven up close, articulating boom lifts provide the reach needed over obstacles. The greatest working height in the range is reached by telescopic boom lifts at 56.90 m.
Telehandlers and excavators for South Moravian projects
On industrial sites in Brno, the telehandler is the usual companion to the platform. Fixed telehandlers lift 4.30 to 18.80 m with 1.25 to 25 t capacity. Roto telehandlers reach 15.42 to 38.90 m and work all round from a single set-up — in cramped works yards that replaces repeated repositioning. For moving material inside a building there are electric telehandlers with 5.85 to 30.00 m.
Excavators from 1.8 t to 30 t for site development, foundations and interior demolition. In addition counterbalance forklifts from 3 to 16 t and high-lift stackers with 2.70 to 5.50 m.
Transport to Brno and scheduling
Brno is around 320 km from our Passau location. We organise transport with our own low-loaders and partner hauliers.
For plant shutdowns and trade fair dates we agree the time window together in advance — these dates are fixed months ahead, and the machines for them are scheduled accordingly early. For planned shutdown work, therefore, enquire in good time rather than in the week before.
Where the requirement runs over several months, we invoice at long-term rental rates. Combinations of a platform and a telehandler are quoted as a package — one delivery, one contact, one invoice.
Inspection, documentation and operator duties in the Czech Republic
Every machine is delivered with a valid inspection certificate, CE documentation and operating instructions. We maintain the inspection intervals and the maintenance history for the entire rental fleet.
The operator duties at the place of use are governed by the law of the country of use. For the Czech Republic, Government Regulation NV 378/2001 Sb. applies; it contains a separate annex for equipment for lifting loads and persons. Inspection of mobile elevating work platforms follows CSN EN 280.
We supply the documents for your records — the risk assessment and the operator instruction at the place of use remain your responsibility. The visual and function check before work starts is an operator duty regardless of whether the machine is rented or owned.
