Forklift rental in Crailsheim: 53 models for every type of load

Rent a forklift for Crailsheim from Luibl Rental and choose from 53 models with 1,200 to 33,000 kg load capacity and up to 6.07 m lift height. In Crailsheim, it is mainly the load that determines the type of truck: palletised goods in logistics and production halls, heavy machine crates from plant engineering and building materials on unpaved construction sites each require a different forklift. That is why we organise our rental fleet by what goes on the forks, and deliver the right machine from our Passau location.

The question "What are you lifting?" leads to the right machine faster than the question about the drive. Our 53 forklifts are divided into six types:

The load capacity in the data sheet applies to the rated load centre. If the centre of gravity of a load lies further forward, the permissible load decreases. With the weight and dimensions of your load, we therefore check not only the type but also the specific model.

Between the Feuchtwangen/Crailsheim motorway interchange and the town's industrial estates, it is mainly palletised goods that are moved: in warehouses, dispatch zones and on assembly lines. What counts here is manoeuvrability, the lift height at the rack and a drive that suits enclosed spaces.

Electric forklifts for halls: 22 models from 1,500 to 10,000 kg

Electric forklifts produce no local emissions during operation and run quietly. That matters in halls where employees work permanently and near packaging lines. With lift heights of 3.45 to 6.00 m, they reach the upper levels of standard pallet racking. Clarify in advance where the forklift will be charged between shifts.

Stackers for narrow aisles and pallets up to 2,000 kg

Stackers are the compact solution for racking, order picking and relocation when pallets up to 2,000 kg are moved. They lift 2.70 to 5.50 m and need less space than a counterbalance forklift. They are not designed for ramps and uneven yards; a counterbalance forklift is the better choice there.

LPG forklifts when the pallet has to go from the hall onto the truck

If you shuttle between hall, yard and truck loading, the 3 LPG forklifts with 1,800 to 7,000 kg and 5.04 to 6.03 m lift height offer a compromise. Whether they may also be used inside the hall is something to clarify in your risk assessment, especially with regard to ventilation and how long employees spend there.

Crailsheim is a centre of packaging machinery and plant engineering. Finished machines, assemblies and shipping crates often weigh more than a standard forklift can handle, and they are bulky too. For such loads, 7 heavy-duty forklifts with 8,000 to 33,000 kg are available; the largest model is the Kalmar DCG 330-12T.

The crate's centre of gravity determines the model

With machine crates, the centre of gravity is rarely in the middle. A heavy unit at one end shifts it forwards or to the side, and with every centimetre of distance from the fork carriage the residual capacity decreases. So in addition to weight and dimensions, tell us the position of the centre of gravity, which is usually marked on the crate or in the shipping documents. From this we determine which model lifts the load with a safety margin.

Check hall floor, doors and route in advance

A heavy-duty forklift concentrates its own weight and the load on a few wheel contact areas. Check whether the hall floor, yard and ramps are designed for this and whether doors are wide and high enough for the forklift and load. For machine relocations within a plant, a plan of the route showing narrow points and gradients helps.

Outdoors, the choice depends on the ground. On asphalt and paving, a diesel forklift is sufficient; on gravel, soil and wet ground you need a rough terrain forklift built for such conditions.

Rough terrain forklifts for new development areas and the Jagst floodplain

Our 4 rough terrain forklifts, the Manitou M30-4 and M50-4 and the Ausa C300H and C500H x4, carry 3,000 to 5,000 kg and lift 4.75 to 5.45 m. They are intended for construction sites in new development areas where roads and surfaces are not yet paved, and for areas near the Jagst river, whose floodplain soils become soft after rain. On slopes, drive with the load facing uphill and the forks lowered.

Diesel forklifts for timber, steel and building materials on paved yards

The 11 diesel forklifts with 3,000 to 10,000 kg and 4.50 to 6.00 m lift height are intended for outdoor storage yards, for example at builders' merchants, timber and steel traders or on farms in the area around Crailsheim. They work independently of a charging station and are suitable for long working days.

When a telehandler is a better fit than a forklift

A forklift from our rental fleet lifts a maximum of 6.07 m. If you need to place material higher or over an obstacle, for example onto scaffolding or a roof, a telehandler is the better choice. For people working at height, we offer our telescopic boom lifts in Crailsheim.

The better we know the load, the more reliably the machine fits first time. These details help us:

1. Weight of the heaviest load in kilograms.

2. Dimensions and centre of gravity: length, width, height and the position of the centre of gravity.

3. Lift height: the highest placement point, for example the top rack level or a truck bed.

4. Ground and location: hall, paved yard or construction site, plus narrow points, doors and ramps.

5. Period: rental start, duration and whether the forklift runs in one or several shifts.

With these details, we propose the type and model and plan the delivery. For heavy-duty forklifts, we recommend enquiring early.

We deliver the forklifts from our Passau location to Crailsheim. The route runs via the A3 to Nuremberg and on via the A6 and is around 320 km long. We plan the transport with your order; you can find details under Transport.

For the handover, we need a paved area where the transport vehicle can stop and the forklift can be unloaded. Please also tell us about access restrictions, for example in the town centre or on factory premises with registration at the gate. We also deliver from Passau to sites in the surrounding area, such as Satteldorf, Kirchberg an der Jagst, Ellwangen or Schwaebisch Hall.

Anyone who rents a forklift assumes, as the operator, the duties for its safe use in their company or on their construction site.

Only trained drivers with written authorisation

Under Section 7 of DGUV Regulation 68 (DGUV Vorschrift 68), you may only entrust the independent operation of a forklift to persons who are at least 18 years old, suitable and trained, and who have demonstrated their competence. The authorisation must be given in writing. The content and scope of the training are described in DGUV Principle 308-001 (DGUV Grundsatz 308-001). Through certified partners, we can arrange a suitable training provider for you, free of charge and without obligation.

Risk assessment and instruction before use

Before the first use, you assess the hazards in accordance with Section 3 of the German Industrial Safety Regulation (BetrSichV), for example routes, ground conditions, loads and pedestrian traffic. In accordance with Section 12 BetrSichV and Section 12 of the German Occupational Safety and Health Act (ArbSchG), you instruct employees in operating the specific machine and in the rules at the site.

Tell us the heaviest load with its weight and dimensions, the lift height, the site and the rental period. We will propose the type and model and plan the transport from Passau. You can find more machines under Construction equipment rental in Crailsheim. Contact us now
