Hiring construction machinery in Karlsruhe

As a technology, science and logistics hub, Karlsruhe is one of the economically strongest cities in Baden-Wuerttemberg. The Port of Karlsruhe on the Rhine is one of the largest inland ports on the Rhine – in the port and industrial areas of the Muehlburg and Knielingen districts, construction and infrastructure projects are continuously being created, and the handling of building materials and bulk goods requires powerful rental machines on a permanent basis. The Oberrhein mineral-oil refinery (MiRo) in Knielingen is one of the largest refineries in Germany – maintenance and turnaround deployments in industrial plants are a permanent demand driver for high-level access platforms and heavy-duty telehandlers.

The Karlsruhe Technology Park around the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), as well as the development of new commercial areas in Durlach, Hagsfeld and Gruenwinkel, ensure ongoing building-construction demand. Thanks to the direct connection to the A5, A8 and A65, deliveries from our rental fleet can be realised quickly and on schedule at any site in Karlsruhe and the district.

Hiring aerial work platforms in Karlsruhe

For work at height in Karlsruhe – whether plant maintenance at the Rhine port, facade renovations in the city centre, assembly work at industrial operations in Muehlburg or hall projects in Durlach – the complete aerial work platform fleet is available:

  • Scissor lifts (electric): working height up to 28 m, non-marking tyres for indoor use – e.g. HAB S280-12E 4WDS with 28 m working height, 600 kg load capacity; Magni ES3225RT with 32 m working height and 1,000 kg load capacity

  • Articulating boom lifts: working height up to 43 m, lateral reach up to 24 m – ideal for bridging obstacles in industrial plants and the densely built-up Karlsruhe city centre

  • Telescopic boom lifts: working heights up to 57 m for open-area deployments, refinery plants and building construction

  • Mast lifts: compact vertical platforms for tight spaces in warehouses and research buildings on the KIT campus

  • Spider lifts: for difficult terrain, roof work on historic buildings and unpaved industrial outdoor areas

  • Truck-mounted platforms: mobile platforms for quick relocation between the port site, industrial area and city centre

All aerial work platforms comply with the requirements of DGUV 308-008.

Hiring telehandlers in Karlsruhe

Telehandlers from Manitou, Merlo and Magni are the standard equipment for material supply, assembly and heavy loads on industrial construction sites, at the Rhine port and on building-construction projects in Karlsruhe:

  • Fixed telehandlers: for classic lifting tasks on construction sites in the city area – e.g. Manitou MT 420 with 2,000 kg load capacity

  • Rotating telehandlers: 360° rotation for confined port and industrial sites; e.g. Merlo Roto 70.28S with 7,000 kg load capacity and 28 m lifting height – ideal for heavy loads at the Rhine port or on refinery grounds

  • Heavy-duty telehandlers: for plant assembly, pipeline construction and extreme load capacities in industry

  • Electric telehandlers: locally emission-free operation for hall construction sites and emission-sensitive industrial areas

Attachments (bucket, basket attachment, jib, winch) available on request.
