Forklift rental in Coburg: 53 models for halls, yards and construction sites

Rent forklifts in Coburg from Luibl Rental, choosing from 53 models with 1,200 to 33,000 kg load capacity and up to 6.07 m lift height. In Coburg, the right forklift depends above all on where it will be used: in the production halls of automotive suppliers and mechanical engineering firms, no exhaust fumes may be produced; on storage yards and construction sites, tyres and ground clearance count; and when moving heavy machinery, the residual load capacity is decisive. That is why we first clarify the drive type with you, then load capacity and lift height, and deliver from our location in Passau.

Electric, LPG, diesel or rough terrain: the table shows which type belongs where in Coburg and what the rental fleet covers in each type.

You will find an overview of all types under Forklift rental. If material has to be lifted higher than 6.07 m or far over an edge, a telehandler in Coburg is the better choice. For work at height, there are telescopic boom lifts in Coburg.

Anyone driving indoors usually chooses an electric forklift. It operates with zero local emissions and quietly. In Coburg this mainly applies to production, assembly and warehousing in business parks such as Lauterer Hoehe and Bertelsdorfer Hoehe.

Up to 10,000 kg load capacity, even indoors

The rental fleet includes 22 electric forklifts from 1,500 to 10,000 kg. This means that even heavy goods such as tools, mesh boxes with steel parts or pre-assembled modules can stay within the electric range without a combustion-engine forklift having to enter the hall.

Stackers for racking and truck loading ramps

For pallets in racking, at the loading ramp or in narrow aisles, stackers with 1,200 to 2,000 kg and up to 5.50 m lift height are often sufficient. They are more compact than a counterbalance forklift and need less space to manoeuvre.

Clarify the charging point and hall floor in advance

An electric forklift needs a fixed charging point. Before delivery, clarify where the machine will be charged and which power connection is available there. For heavy models, this also includes the permissible floor load of the hall floor.

If the forklift works mainly outdoors, LPG and diesel forklifts are the more robust choice. Which of the two fits depends on how often the machine drives into a hall.

LPG forklifts between open areas and halls

The 3 LPG forklifts in the rental fleet lift 1,800 to 7,000 kg to 5.04 to 6.03 m. They are suitable for companies that receive goods in the yard and then put them away in the warehouse. Whether and for how long an LPG forklift may operate in the hall is determined in your risk assessment, depending on ventilation and room size.

Diesel forklifts for paved storage yards

On asphalt and paved areas of building materials dealers, timber or metalworking companies, the 11 diesel forklifts work with 3,000 to 10,000 kg and 4.50 to 6.00 m lift height. They are not intended for halls; there, the electric forklift remains the solution.

On unpaved ground you need a rough terrain forklift with all-wheel drive. The rental fleet has four models available, Manitou M30-4 and M50-4 as well as Ausa C300H x4 and C500H x4, with 3,000 to 5,000 kg load capacity and 4.75 to 5.45 m lift height.

Soft ground along the Itz and Lauter

Construction sites in the valleys of the Itz and Lauter rivers are often on damp ground with low bearing capacity. A rough terrain forklift makes progress where an industrial forklift with small solid rubber tyres sinks in. For areas where pallets stand for longer periods, a gravel layer or load distribution plates are still worthwhile.

Gradients on the Festungsberg and on hillside sites

Around the Festungsberg and in the residential areas on the hillside, the forklift often drives uphill and downhill. With a load, it drives forwards uphill and in reverse downhill, so the load always faces uphill. Never drive across the slope. The permissible gradient is stated in the operating manual of the respective model.

For machine relocations, heavy tools and steel components, the rental fleet has 7 heavy-duty forklifts with 8,000 to 33,000 kg load capacity and 4.50 to 6.07 m lift height. The largest model is the Kalmar DCG 330-12T.

The rated load only applies at the rated load centre

The load capacity in the data sheet applies to a specified load centre distance. If the centre of gravity of a machine lies further forward or off-centre, the residual load capacity decreases. The load chart of the specific machine is decisive. Therefore, please tell us the weight, dimensions and centre of gravity of the load.

Check gates, routes and ground

A heavy-duty forklift is considerably wider and taller than an indoor forklift. Measure gate openings and routes and clarify the load-bearing capacity of the hall floor and yard areas before the machine arrives.

We deliver all forklifts from our location in Passau to Coburg. The route runs via the A3 and A73 motorways and is around 330 km long. Small forklifts and stackers fit on a truck; large heavy-duty forklifts need a low-loader depending on dimensions and weight. We also deliver to the surrounding Coburg area, for example to Roedental or Neustadt bei Coburg.

For the handover, the truck needs a stable parking area and space for unloading. In the old town around the Marktplatz and Ehrenburg Palace the streets are narrow; clarify the parking area and, if necessary, a permit in advance. For heavy loads, we recommend early scheduling. More about delivery under Transport.

For a rented forklift, the same driver requirements apply in Coburg as for your own machine.

Requirements for operating

Under § 7 DGUV Regulation 68, industrial trucks with a driver's seat or driver's stand may only be operated by persons who are at least 18 years old, suitable and trained, have proven their competence and have been authorised in writing. Training is based on DGUV Principle 308-001.

Duties of the operator

As the operator, you add the rental machine to your risk assessment under § 3 BetrSichV (German Industrial Safety Regulation) and instruct the drivers on the specific model under § 12 BetrSichV and § 12 ArbSchG (German Occupational Safety and Health Act). For rough terrain forklifts this includes driving on slopes; for heavy-duty forklifts, the load chart.

If your team does not have a forklift licence, we will put you in touch with a certified training provider, free of charge and without obligation. More under Training via certified partners.

Tell us the place of use (hall, yard or construction site), the heaviest load with dimensions, the required lift height and the rental period. We will suggest the drive type and model and plan the transport from Passau. You will find further machines under Construction machinery rental in Coburg. Contact us now
