Rent an aerial work platform in Groningen – lifting platforms, telehandlers & forklifts
Groningen is the northernmost major city in the Netherlands – a university town, an emerging energy-transition hub and the starting point for one of the most extensive construction and refurbishment programmes in Northern Europe: the structural reinforcement of buildings in the earthquake-damaged gas-extraction area of the province. For these and all other construction projects, industrial deployments and logistics enquiries in the region, Luibl Rental hires out work platforms, telehandlers and forklifts – deliverable Europe-wide, with our own low-loader fleet and German-language advice.

As part of a network with over 200 locations, we deliver rental machines via our own low-loader fleet directly to Groningen and the neighbouring regions of Drenthe, Friesland and the Eemsdelta – with no intermediary forwarder and with schedulable delivery dates.
For German and Austrian companies operating in Groningen or the Noordoost-Nederland, Luibl Rental handles the entire rental process in German: advice, cost estimate, delivery coordination and equipment documentation. Short-term hire for individual project days as well as multi-month long-term hire – with combined offers when several machines are needed at the same time.
Groningen identifies itself as a trade and services centre with a growing industrial base. Companies from logistics, construction, agriculture, the energy sector and manufacturing belong to our customer base – from single hire to multi-month project equipping.
Renting work platforms in Groningen – all types for construction, energy and industry
Renting bi-energy and electric scissor lifts in Groningen
For installation, maintenance and repair work in halls, warehouses and industrial buildings, we offer scissor lifts with various drive concepts. The Genie GS 3369BE (11.75 m working height, 454 kg load capacity, platform size 4.31 m × 2.79 m) operates in bi-energy mode: electric indoors with no exhaust emissions, with a combustion engine on outdoor sites without a power connection. Ideal for construction sites in the Aardbevingsgebied or for hall assembly in the Eemsdelta. Load capacities up to 1,000 kg; self-propelled, controllable from the platform.
Large-platform scissor lifts – more area, more reach
For project deployments where several people work simultaneously or over a larger area, the Holland Lift HL 340D30 4WDS/N is available: 33.70 m working height, 1,000 kg lifting capacity and a platform of 9.66 m × 6.66 m. This lift is excellent for hall roof refurbishments, bridge soffits or large-area maintenance work on industrial plants in the Eemsdelta and at the Chemie Park Delfzijl.
Articulating boom lifts for outdoor use
For façade work, infrastructure assembly and outdoor deployments on construction or industrial sites, we offer articulating boom lifts in diesel, hybrid and electric versions up to 52 m working height. Deployable autonomously without a fixed power connection – predestined for assembly work on the extensive industrial grounds of the Eemshaven.
Renting telehandlers and Roto telehandlers for Groningen
Telehandlers are indispensable on Groningen's construction sites and in the agriculture of the northern provinces.
Luibl Rental distinguishes between:
-
Fixed telehandlers for fast material transport, truck unloading and positioning of structural elements. The Merlo P. 38.13 (3,800 kg lifting capacity, 12.60 m lifting height, 8.60 m lateral outreach, compact dimensions 5.24 m × 2.22 m × 2.44 m) is a versatile short-boom handler that excels on confined construction sites and in the agriculture of the Groningen region. Heavy-duty versions up to 27 tonnes available.
-
Roto telehandlers enable flexible working as a crane, cable crane and stacking device in one thanks to the rotating upper carriage. We hire out Roto lifts from Manitou and Merlo in 21 m, 25 m, 30 m and up to 35 m lifting height, with load capacities of 4, 5 and 6 tonnes. With scissor outriggers, stable even on uneven ground. All telehandlers come from leading quality brands such as Manitou, Merlo and Magni and comply with CE requirements (EN 1459) for commercial use in the Netherlands.
Renting forklifts in Groningen
For in-house logistics, warehousing and material transport in Groningen's industrial and commercial operations, we hire out forklifts in all drive types:
-
Diesel forklifts: For outdoor use on construction sites, industrial grounds and open-air storage; load capacity up to 16,000 kg
-
Electric forklifts: Locally emission-free and quiet for indoor use – ideal for distribution centres and food operations
-
All-terrain forklifts: Rugged tyres, high ground clearance for construction sites and agricultural use
-
Heavy-duty forklifts: Up to 16 tonnes for heavy industrial applications and heavy machine logistics
Safety standards – NEN-EN 280 and the Dutch Arbowet
All aerial work platforms and telehandlers bear the CE mark and comply with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC as well as NEN-EN 280 (aerial work platforms) and EN 1459 (telehandlers) in the version applicable to the Netherlands. They therefore meet the basic requirements of the Dutch occupational health and safety act (Arbeidsomstandighedenwet, Arbowet).
Declarations of conformity and inspection certificates are available on request upon delivery.
Legal note: Additional operator qualifications (VCA/NRM certificate) under Dutch law may be required for the operation of aerial work platforms in the Netherlands. Please have the specific operator requirements checked legally before the start of deployment.

The Aardbevingsgebied: the region's unique refurbishment market
The structural reinforcement of buildings resulting from decades of gas extraction in the Groningen subsoil is one of the largest construction and refurbishment programmes in Northern Europe. Thousands of buildings in the province are being structurally reinforced, refurbished or rebuilt.
This work permanently requires work platforms, telehandlers and forklifts in large numbers – from the scissor lift for ceiling work to the articulating boom lift for façade work on multi-storey residential buildings.
Luibl Rental supplies the right equipment for all deployment scenarios, flexibly and quickly.
