Telescopic boom lift rental in Landshut for old town, castle hill and industry

For work in Landshut we rent out 26 telescopic boom lifts with 14.00 to 56.90 m working height and 10.30 to 27.43 m lateral outreach. In the city, Gothic brick churches, town houses from several centuries, the castle on the Hofberg and newer residential and commercial buildings stand side by side in a confined space. Each of these building eras demands something different: sometimes there is no set-up area, sometimes the eaves lie behind an extension, sometimes the building stands on a slope. The suitable lift therefore results from the building type, not from height alone. Below we assign the telescopic boom lifts in our rental fleet to Landshut's building eras. Delivery is from Passau by low-loader. Further machines for the city are shown on the page Construction machinery rental in Landshut.

Older Landshut buildings are usually lower but stand closer together and behind front structures; newer buildings are taller and freely accessible. For old buildings, outreach in relation to weight therefore counts; for new buildings, rather the pure working height. Heights and outreaches in the table are taken from the manufacturer specifications of our models.

At the city's large churches, a rental lift reaches the roof zone and the windows, but not the tip of the tower. The tower of St. Martin measures a good 130 m and is considered the tallest brick tower in the world. The Heilig-Geist-Kirche (Church of the Holy Spirit) at the end of the Altstadt is also one of the buildings where height and distance are needed at the same time.

Nave and roof surface

In front of Gothic walls there are often buttresses, extensions or green spaces, so the lift cannot drive right up to the wall. The Genie SX-135XC combines 43.15 m working height with 27.43 m lateral outreach, the largest boom in our rental fleet. For ridges and tower bases, the Genie SX-150 with 48.33 m and the SX-180 with 56.90 m are available.

Protecting brick and ashlar

St. Martin is built predominantly of brick in lime mortar; portals and tracery are made of ashlar. The platform must not rest against such surfaces, and material for stone replacement places additional load on it. The SX-135XC carries 454 kg in the platform, the JLG 1350SJP 450 kg. Coordinate work on listed monuments in advance with the owner and the responsible heritage authority.

In the two historic streets, lifts up to around 22 m working height are usually sufficient; the set-up position is decisive. The Altstadt is a street space around 700 m long, about 30 m wide over long stretches and roughly half pedestrian zone. The Neustadt was created parallel to it towards the end of the 13th century, and numerous lanes connect the two.

Facades facing the street

For gables, cornices and windows, the Haulotte H14TX with 14.00 m working height and 5,900 kg weight is often sufficient. If the eaves of a taller house are needed, the Genie S-65 and JLG 660SJ offer over 21 m height and more than 17 m outreach. For set-up in public space you need a special use permit from the city, and for monuments additionally coordination with the heritage authority.

Lanes and rear sides

In the connecting lanes it is narrower than in the main street. There, outreach helps more than height: the Genie S-45 reaches 11.18 m to the side, the S-45XC 11.02 m. Have the paving and possible cavities beneath it assessed in advance before a machine weighing several tonnes stands on it.

Plan around the Landshut Wedding

The historic festival takes place every four years in summer, and the procession passes through the Altstadt on several Sundays. The next edition is planned for 2027. You should schedule facade work in this area early.

On the Hofberg you rarely get the lift right up to the structure, so the boom bridges the distance. Trausnitz Castle sits on a steep spur above the Altstadt; at 505 m the Hofberg is the highest point in the city area. The Fuerstentreppe leads up from the town, a brick path that is unsuitable for machines.

The southern districts are also bounded by a chain of hills. Choose a level, paved set-up position there and work with outreach to the building: the Haulotte H28TJ Plus reaches 22.60 m to the side, the Genie S-85 23.32 m. The Trax versions S-65 Trax and S-65XC Trax weigh 12,269 and 13,154 kg. The permissible inclination is stated in the respective operating manual, not in a rule of thumb. For the Hofgarten east of the castle, clarify access and set-up position with the owner.

Multi-storey residential buildings outside the historic core usually need 25 to 29 m working height and a free set-up area in front of the building. Landshut is divided into eleven districts, from Nikola and West to Achdorf and Muenchnerau, and in many of them such buildings stand next to older development.

Gutters, balconies and facade insulation

The Manitou 260TJ offers 25.91 m working height with 19.70 m outreach, the Manitou 280 TJ 27.73 m with 21.45 m. With the Genie S-85XC and its 454 kg platform load, insulation boards and tools can also be taken along. If you need to limit noise in a residential environment, consider the Zoomlion ZT26JE with 28.70 m, which works locally emission-free in operation.

Green spaces and Flutmulde

North of the Isar lies the Flutmulde, a park that is flooded during high water. Lawn and softened ground will not carry a lift of 16 to 18 t without load distribution. Do not plan work there immediately after a flood, and define the travel routes beforehand.

In halls the drive counts, on new buildings outdoors the height. Commercial businesses in Landshut are found, among other places, in the Industriegebiet district and in the Messepark, which was created in 2003 on the site of the former Schoch barracks. For the industrial area at Landshut-Nord and the plant environment on Ergolding land there is a separate page: Telescopic boom lifts in Ergolding.

Indoors: no exhaust fumes at the work site

The Zoomlion ZT18JE-Li (20.60 m), ZT21JE-Li (22.95 m) and ZT26JE (28.70 m) run on electricity. The Genie S-60 FE also reaches 20.60 m as a hybrid. Ask about the hall's floor load and door width in advance, because even the lightest electric lift weighs 8,600 kg.

Outdoors: height for new buildings and facade installation

For tall new buildings outdoors, diesel models over 38 m are available: JLG 1200SJP with 38.73 m, Genie SX-125XC with 40.10 m and JLG 1350SJP with 43.30 m. Their platform load of 450 to 454 kg is suitable for installation work with material.

From Passau it is around 120 km via the A3 and the A92 to Landshut. We deliver by low-loader and need an area at the construction site where the vehicle can stop and the lift can be driven off. In the pedestrian zone of the Altstadt, clarify the unloading point with the city beforehand.

We also supply the neighbouring municipalities of Altdorf, Kumhausen and Essenbach. There are separate pages for further locations: Ergolding, Moosburg an der Isar, Telescopic boom lifts in Dingolfing and Freising. If loads rather than people need to be lifted, a mini crane in Landshut is the alternative. Details on delivery can be found under Transports.

Anyone operating a telescopic boom lift must be trained for it and commissioned by the employer. DGUV Grundsatz 308-008 is decisive. An operator card or the IPAF PAL Card serves as proof.

Before the job, you prepare a risk assessment in accordance with § 3 BetrSichV, for example on wind load, fall edges and traffic in the street space. The instruction of employees is governed by § 12 ArbSchG and § 12 BetrSichV. On handover we explain the operation of the specific model; this cannot replace training. We provide free, non-binding information about training via certified partners.

Describe the building type, working height, distance to the set-up position and time period. From this, we determine the suitable model and the transport from Passau. Request a quote now
