Forklift rental in Burghausen: 1,200 to 33,000 kg
Rent forklifts for Burghausen from Luibl Rental: 53 models with 1,200 to 33,000 kg lifting capacity and up to 6.07 m lift height. In Burghausen a forklift rarely works only in the warehouse: in the plants of the Bavarian Chemical Triangle it supplies halls, workshops and turnaround areas, on construction sites in the Neustadt it moves pallets over gravel, and in the old town over cobblestones and gradients. Which forklift fits therefore depends on the drive, the tyres and the residual capacity at the place of use, not on the rated load alone. Delivery is from our Passau site.
Forklift rental in Burghausen: six types for plant, warehouse and construction site
The rental fleet comprises six types. The table shows where they typically work in Burghausen:

Forklifts in the plants of the Chemical Triangle: plant rules first, then the model
Around Burghausen there are chemical plants and refineries with their own traffic and safety regimes. A rented forklift must meet the operator's requirements before it passes the plant gate.
Plant shutdowns: additional forklifts for a few weeks
During turnarounds, material handling rises sharply for a short time: seals, valves, scaffolding material and replacement parts have to be brought to the units. Rented forklifts then supplement the plant's own fleet. Register shutdown dates early, because many companies in the region need equipment at the same time.
Halls and workshops: electric forklifts with no exhaust at the point of use
In enclosed halls, workshops and warehouses, electric forklifts operate with zero local emissions. The 22 electric models cover 1,500 to 10,000 kg, so even heavy mesh pallets and machine parts can be moved in the hall with electric drive.
Hazardous areas and plant approval: clarify with the operator in advance
Whether and where a forklift may operate in the plant is decided by the operator. Before delivery, clarify site access permits, plant induction and whether explosion-protected (Ex) zones are affected. In potentially explosive areas only equipment approved for that purpose may be used.
Forklifts on construction sites in Burghausen: tyres and drive to suit the ground
Outside the plants, the ground decides. Burghausen is split between the old town in the Salzach valley and the Neustadt on the plateau above, with gradients in between that a forklift must also manage when loaded.
Neustadt and commercial areas: all-terrain forklifts on gravel
On site roads, gravel and compacted excavated soil, forklifts with solid rubber tyres reach their limits. The all-terrain forklifts Manitou M30-4 and M50-4 as well as Ausa C300H and C500H x4 are built for unpaved ground and lift 3,000 to 5,000 kg to 4.75 to 5.45 m.
Paved storage yards: diesel forklifts for continuous outdoor operation
On the asphalt yards of building materials dealers, trade businesses and haulage companies, a diesel forklift works full shifts without charging breaks. The 11 diesel models carry 3,000 to 10,000 kg.
Old town: cobblestones, gradients and narrow access routes
In the lanes between the Stadtplatz and the Salzach, overall width and turning circle matter. Measure gateway passages and the gradient of the access route before you choose the model. If you use the forklift on public roads, check with the town beforehand whether a special use permit or road closure is required.
Heavy loads in Burghausen: heavy-duty forklifts up to 33,000 kg and their residual capacity
For pumps, motors, structural steel components or vessels, 7 heavy-duty forklifts with 8,000 to 33,000 kg are available. The most powerful is the Kalmar DCG 330-12T with a rated capacity of 33,000 kg.
The rated capacity only applies at the specified load centre
The capacity on the data sheet refers to a fixed load centre. If the centre of gravity of a long or bulky load lies further forward, or if it is lifted high, the permissible load decreases. The load chart of the respective machine is decisive.
Send weight, dimensions and centre of gravity in advance
With these three values we check which model lifts your heaviest load with sufficient reserve. This prevents an undersized forklift from coming to a standstill on the day of use.
Five details for your forklift rental in Burghausen
With these details we will suggest the right model:
| Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Heaviest load with dimensions | Determines the capacity class and the required reserve |
| Lift height | Rack level, truck bed or plant level; the maximum in the rental fleet is 6.07 m (Hyundai 80D-9) |
| Place of use | Hall, yard, plant or construction site determines the drive |
| Ground | Hall floor, asphalt, cobblestones or gravel determines the tyres |
| Rental period | Days, weeks or the duration of a shutdown |
Transport to Burghausen: around 95 km from Passau

We plan heavy-duty forklifts from 8,000 kg capacity as a separate transport. Read more about the process under Transport.
Forklift operators in Burghausen: German law, Austrian law in Hochburg-Ach
The law of the place of use applies to the operator, not that of the company's registered office.
Use in Burghausen: DGUV Regulation 68 and DGUV Principle 308-001
Under Section 7 of DGUV Regulation 68, you may only assign the independent operation of a forklift to persons who are at least 18 years old, suitable and trained, have demonstrated their competence and have been appointed in writing. Training follows DGUV Principle 308-001. In addition, operators must be instructed on the rented model in accordance with Section 12 BetrSichV (German Industrial Safety Regulation) and Section 12 ArbSchG (German Occupational Safety and Health Act), and a risk assessment must be carried out in accordance with Section 3 BetrSichV.
Use in Hochburg-Ach: ASchG, AM-VO and certificate of competence
On the Austrian side of the Salzach, the Austrian Employee Protection Act (ASchG) and the Work Equipment Ordinance (AM-VO) apply. For operating forklift trucks, the Certificate of Competence Ordinance (FK-V) requires a certificate of competence. Check with your client whether they recognise the German training.
If your team lacks the qualification, we will arrange forklift training through certified partners for you, free of charge and without obligation.
