Telescopic boom lift rental in Ingolstadt: when the straight boom is the right fit

For Ingolstadt, you can rent telescopic boom lifts from our rental fleet of 26 models with 14.00 to 56.90 m working height and up to 27.43 m horizontal outreach. In the city, production halls of the automotive and supplier industry, an old town inside the Glacis and extensive fortifications sit close together. Not every one of these jobs calls for a telescopic boom lift: sometimes a scissor lift, mast lift or truck-mounted platform will serve you better. This page shows where the straight telescopic boom plays to its strengths, namely great height and wide horizontal distance from a single position, and where a different type is the better choice. Delivery is by low-loader from Passau. You will find all machine types for the city under Construction machinery rental in Ingolstadt, and every model in the telescopic boom lifts category.

A telescopic boom lift is the right choice when height and horizontal distance are needed at the same time and the boom can reach the working point without articulation. For other jobs there are better-suited types, which you can also rent from us. The table compares typical Ingolstadt jobs and shows when a model from the telescopic boom lift fleet makes sense.

A scissor lift raises its platform vertically and offers plenty of space for material and personnel. In Ingolstadt, automotive and mechanical engineering shape local industry, and many suppliers are based in the freight village (Gueterverkehrszentrum) in the north-west of the city. Under their hall ceilings there are often conveyor systems, crane runways or high-bay racking.

As soon as such an obstacle lies between the floor and the working point, the scissor lift can no longer reach it vertically. The telescopic boom lift stands alongside and extends the basket over the equipment. The Zoomlion ZT21JE-Li reaches 22.95 m working height with 15.50 m outreach and takes 454 kg in the basket.

Electric and hybrid under a roof

For enclosed halls, three electric models are available that produce no local emissions in operation: ZT18JE-Li, ZT21JE-Li and the Zoomlion ZT26JE with 28.70 m. The Genie S-60 FE with hybrid drive reaches 20.60 m. The electric models weigh 8,600 to 17,600 kg, so check the load-bearing capacity of the hall floor in advance.

Factory premises: register before delivery

Large factory sites such as the Audi plant in Ingolstadt have their own rules for access, routes and contractors. Clarify registration of the low-loader and the unloading point with your contact at the plant before the delivery date is fixed.

An articulating boom lift bends its boom and reaches over canopies, oriels or cornices. That helps when the obstacle sits directly in front of the facade. The telescopic boom lift works with a straight boom and bridges large distances, as long as the space between position and target is clear.

Churches, gates and towers

The old town is home to buildings such as the Liebfrauenmuenster, the Moritzkirche, the Kreuztor, the Neues Schloss and the Pfeifturm. In front of tall church facades, often only one position on the forecourt is available, and that is exactly where outreach counts. The Genie S-85XC reaches 22.71 m to the side, the JLG 1350SJP 25.03 m and the Genie SX-135XC 27.43 m.

Lanes and squares

In narrow lanes there is often not enough room for a large chassis and the slewing boom. In that case a compact model such as the Genie S-45XC with 15.56 m working height and 454 kg basket capacity is the right telescopic solution. For any set-up on public land you need a special use permit (Sondernutzungserlaubnis) from the city. Coordinate work on listed monuments with the responsible heritage authority.

A mast lift is compact, fits through doorways and works in corridors and small rooms. For maintenance on lights, detectors or ventilation outlets on floors with normal ceiling height, it remains the obvious choice. With the Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt, the Faculty of Business and Economics of the Catholic University of Eichstaett-Ingolstadt and the Klinikum Ingolstadt, the city has several large building complexes with such tasks.

Things look different in foyers, atriums, sports halls and workshop halls with high ceilings. If the working point lies behind rows of seats, above a gallery or high up under a glass roof, the mast cannot reach it. For these interiors, the electric Zoomlion ZT18JE-Li with 20.60 m working height, 13.30 m outreach and 300 kg basket capacity is suitable.

For work inside buildings, door width, clearance height and the load-bearing capacity of floors and ramps are what count.

A truck-mounted platform drives itself by road to the next location and is quickly packed up again there. With many short stops, for example at lights or signs along a street, it has the advantage. A telescopic boom lift, by contrast, arrives by low-loader and stays on site.

That pays off as soon as a facade, a roof or a hall wall means several days of work. The Genie S-85 reaches 27.90 m with 23.32 m outreach, the Manitou 280 TJ 27.73 m with 21.45 m and 350 kg basket capacity.

A telescopic boom lift at the roadside may likewise only use the pavement or carriageway with the city's permission. Plan to cordon off the entire slewing area, because when rotating, the rear can project beyond the outline of the chassis.

A tracked aerial platform is narrow and light and reaches spots over lawns and paths that no wheeled chassis can get to. On the green belt of the Glacis, in the Klenzepark on the former bridgehead of the fortress and along the banks of the Danube, it is often the gentler solution. A telescopic boom lift in the rental fleet, by contrast, weighs 5,900 to 24,856 kg and needs load-bearing ground.

Fortifications

Of the neoclassical state fortress, the Reduit Tilly, the Turm Triva and the Kavalier Hepp, among others, have survived. If there is a paved path or square in front of the structure, a telescopic boom lift can reach over the moat or rampart from there. Light models such as the Haulotte H14TX with 5,900 kg or the Genie S-45 with 7,005 kg put the least load on the surfaces. Clarify the use of green spaces with the owner and work on the monument with the heritage authority.

Danube banks and floodplains

The Danube flows for around 14 km through the city area; during the Whitsun flood of 1999 the water level stood at 748 cm. In districts such as Haunwoehr and Gerolfing the groundwater is high. Have the load-bearing capacity of the ground checked there, especially after rain. The Genie S-65 Trax and the Genie S-65XC Trax reach 21.80 and 21.81 m respectively; refer to the operating manual for the permissible gradient.

It is around 190 km from Passau to Ingolstadt. We bring the telescopic boom lift by low-loader via Regensburg to your site; the Transport page describes how delivery and collection work. The models above 40 m working height each weigh more than 20 t, so access and unloading area must be designed for this.

What should be ready at the unloading point

• A paved, level area for the low-loader and unloading

• Clear access without low passages or tight bends

• A contact person on site for the handover

We also deliver to Gaimersheim, Manching, Koesching, Lenting and Grossmehring in the surrounding area. For work in Neuburg an der Donau, Kelheim, Freising, Regensburg or Munich there are dedicated city pages. If a load rather than personnel needs to go up, a mini crane in Ingolstadt complements the platform.

Anyone operating a telescopic boom lift must be trained in accordance with DGUV Grundsatz 308-008. An operator licence or the IPAF PAL Card serves as proof. In addition, § 12 ArbSchG and § 12 BetrSichV require instruction for the specific workplace and the specific machine.

Before use, the employer carries out a risk assessment in accordance with § 3 BetrSichV. It covers, for example, ground conditions, wind, surrounding traffic, crushing and fall hazards and rescue from the basket. At handover we show your staff how to operate the rented model; the operator needs the proof of qualification regardless.

If your team lacks this qualification, we can help. We will inform you about training via certified partners without obligation and free of charge.

Describe the job, working height, distance to the working point and ground conditions, even if you are still undecided between two platform types. We check which machine from the rental fleet fits and plan the transport from Passau as well. Enquire now
