Rent forklifts in Erding: 1.2 to 33 t capacity, up to 6.07 m lifting height

You can rent forklifts for Erding from us from a fleet of 53 models: electric, diesel, gas, all-terrain and heavy-duty forklifts as well as high-lift stackers with 1,200 to 33,000 kg capacity and up to 6.07 m lifting height. Which machine suits your job can be read from four values in the data sheet: capacity, lifting height, drive and dead weight. A logistics hall near Munich Airport places different demands than a building plot on the soft ground of the Erdinger Moos or a paved yard in the old town. We deliver from our location in Passau and agree the model with you in advance.

Before you choose a model, it is worth looking at four key values. Each of them rules out types that are not an option for your job in Erding.

Key value	Range in the fleet	What matters in Erding
Capacity	1,200–33,000 kg	heaviest load including dimensions and centre of gravity
Lifting height	2.70–6.07 m	rack compartment, loading edge, height of door and ceiling
Drive	electric, diesel, LPG	hall, yard, construction site or alternating between them
Dead weight and tyres	depends on model	hall floor, paving, gravel or fen ground

53 models in six types

Type	Models	Capacity	Lifting height
Electric forklifts	22	1,500–10,000 kg	3.45–6.00 m
Diesel forklifts	11	3,000–10,000 kg	4.50–6.00 m
Gas forklifts	3	1,800–7,000 kg	5.04–6.03 m
All-terrain forklifts	4	3,000–5,000 kg	4.75–5.45 m
Heavy-duty forklifts	7	8,000–33,000 kg	4.50–6.07 m
High-lift stackers	6	1,200–2,000 kg	2.70–5.50 m

You will find all models with data sheets in the forklift rental category.

Capacity is the first filter, because a machine that is too weak may not lift the load safely and one that is too large takes up space, floor and budget unnecessarily.

Up to 2,000 kg: high-lift stackers and small electric forklifts for warehousing and trade

Logistics areas around the airport and warehouses in the business parks on the outskirts mainly move pallets. For this, high-lift stackers with 1,200 to 2,000 kg or electric forklifts from 1,500 kg are sufficient. Both are narrow, manoeuvrable and work inside buildings without exhaust fumes.

2,000 to 10,000 kg: electric, diesel and gas for trades, construction and production

Most models are in this class. Pallets of building materials in housing construction, mesh boxes in workshops and components in manufacturing are covered by electric, diesel and gas forklifts up to 10,000 kg. Which drive fits is clarified in the section on drive below.

Over 10,000 kg: heavy-duty forklifts up to 33,000 kg

For machines, moulds, steel parts or containers, 7 heavy-duty forklifts with 8,000 to 33,000 kg are available, led by the Kalmar DCG 330-12T. The rated capacity only applies at the specified load centre. If a long or bulky load protrudes far beyond the forks, the permissible load decreases. So tell us the weight, dimensions and position of the centre of gravity, and we will check the load chart.

The greatest lifting height in the fleet is achieved by the Hyundai 80D-9 with 6.07 m. Most electric and diesel forklifts lift 4.50 to 6.00 m, high-lift stackers from 2.70 m. That is sufficient for common rack systems, lorry loading edges and mezzanine floors in halls.

For passing through, what counts is not the lifting height but the overall height of the retracted mast. Measure hall doors, passages and low ceilings before choosing a model. We compare the values with the data sheet.

If the destination is higher than 6.07 m or the load has to be placed over an edge, a telehandler is the right machine.

The drive depends on where the forklift mainly drives in Erding.

• Electric (22 models): no local emissions during operation and quiet. Electric forklifts are suitable for halls, warehouses, cold storage and production areas. Clarify in advance where charging takes place and whether one battery is enough for your shift length.

• Diesel (11 models): for yards, storage areas and construction sites where the forklift works outdoors all day and no charging point is available.

• LPG (3 models): for companies that alternate between yard and hall. Whether a gas forklift may drive in the hall is determined by your risk assessment, above all with regard to ventilation.

On Munich Airport areas and in plants, the operator's rules also apply, for example on access, passes and permitted vehicles. Clarify these requirements before we plan the delivery.

Erding lies on the edge of the Erdinger Moos, a drained fen with peat layers and a high groundwater level. Unpaved building plots there quickly become soft after rain. A forklift with solid rubber tyres sinks in and the load starts to sway.

Building plots in the Moos: all-terrain forklifts with four-wheel drive

For new development areas and open spaces, 4 all-terrain forklifts are available: Manitou M30-4 and M50-4 as well as Ausa C300H x4 and C500H x4 with 3,000 to 5,000 kg. Four-wheel drive and treaded tyres help on gravel and loose ground. A paved site road nevertheless remains the safest track, and after heavy rain the ground should be reassessed.

Halls and yards: check surface load and paving

Heavy forklifts bring their dead weight and the load onto a few tyre contact areas. For mezzanine floors, cellars and older hall floors, check the permissible load. In the old town around the Schoener Turm and Landshuter Strasse, yards are often tight and paved. There a compact electric or gas forklift is usually the better choice. If public ground is used for delivery or work, a permit from the town of Erding is required.

With five details we can select the right model for Erding and plan the transport:

1. Weight, dimensions and centre of gravity of the heaviest load

2. Lifting height at the destination and height of doors and passages

3. Location and ground: hall, yard, paving, gravel or building plot

4. Rental period and shift operation, for electric forklifts also the charging point

5. Access and rules on site, for example on plant or airport grounds

We deliver forklifts for Erding from our location in Passau. The route is around 150 km. We also plan the transport; details can be found under Transport. State in your request whether the delivery point is accessible for a lorry and where unloading can take place.

We deliver to all districts, for example Altenerding, Klettham and Langengeisling, and to the district of Erding with Dorfen, Taufkirchen (Vils), Wartenberg, Isen, Oberding and Moosinning. For the neighbouring area you will find separate pages for Freising, Moosburg an der Isar, Landshut and Munich, as well as forklifts in Dachau. All construction machinery for the town is shown on the page construction machinery rental in Erding.

Anyone using a rented forklift bears responsibility as the operator for safe operation.

Driver: at least 18 years old, trained and authorised in writing

Under section 7 of DGUV Regulation 68, only someone who is at least 18 years old, has been trained, has demonstrated their competence and has been authorised in writing by the employer may drive. Training follows DGUV Principle 308-001. Via certified partners we arrange suitable forklift training for you free of charge and without obligation.

Operation: risk assessment and instruction

Before use, you prepare a risk assessment under section 3 of the Industrial Safety Regulation (BetrSichV). It covers routes, ground, loads and interaction with pedestrians. You instruct the drivers on machine and site under section 12 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (ArbSchG) and section 12 BetrSichV.

Send us the five details from the list above via the contact form. We will check model, availability and transport and get back to you with a quotation for your job in Erding.
