Hire aerial work platforms in Lugano – scissor lifts, telehandlers & heavy-duty equipment
Construction projects in the Lugano south quarter, maintenance work in industrial facilities in the Mendrisiotto or high-rise buildings in the Biasca corridor: Luibl delivers aerial work platforms, heavy-duty telehandlers and forklifts directly to your construction site in the canton of Ticino – at short notice, SUVA-inspected, with machines up to 27.50 m working height and 12,000 kg load capacity.
Aerial work platforms for indoor and outdoor use in Ticino
The Luibl rental programme covers working heights from under 8 m up to almost 57 m. For indoor use with no exhaust emissions at the point of use, electric scissor lifts and mast lifts are available. For outdoor use on Ticino construction sites – often with difficult hillside locations, narrow access routes and variable ground – we supply diesel scissor lifts, articulating boom lifts and spider lifts.
Available types for Lugano and the canton of Ticino:
-
Diesel scissor lifts: e.g. Holland Lift HL 275-D27 – working height 27.50 m, load capacity 1,000 kg, platform extendable to 8.25 m – one of the most powerful scissor lifts on the Swiss market
-
Diesel scissor lifts (medium): e.g. JLG Liftlux 203-24 – working height 22.30 m, load capacity 750 kg
-
Articulating boom lifts (electric/diesel): working heights up to around 48 m, ideal for hard-to-reach facades and industrial plants
-
Truck-mounted work platforms: road-approved, flexible, no separate transport effort
-
Spider lifts: for hillside terrain, soft ground and confined Ticino construction sites
-
Mast lifts: compact for confined indoor spaces and low passageways
Hire heavy-duty telehandlers & forklifts
In the Lugano area, Luibl offers heavy-duty telehandlers that no local Ticino provider keeps in stock: the Manitou MHT 10120 lifts 12,000 kg at 9.62 m lifting height. The fixed Merlo P. 38.13 (3,800 kg, 12.60 m lifting height) covers the standard range of construction sites and production operations. Roto telehandlers are available for rotating material handling in confined spaces.
In addition, counterbalance forklifts (diesel), all-terrain forklifts and heavy-duty forklifts up to 16 t are available for warehouse and construction projects. All telehandlers can be combined with attachments – pallet fork, bucket, personnel basket on request.
Delivery area Lugano, Ticino and Northern Italy
Luibl supplies the entire canton of Ticino: Lugano, Bellinzona, Locarno, Mendrisio, Biasca, Chiasso and surrounding municipalities. Thanks to the Europe-wide delivery network, supply is also possible for cross-border construction projects in the Como region and the Varesotto (Northern Italy) – a concrete advantage for Ticino construction companies with cross-border contracts.
Safety & SUVA compliance
All rental machines are serviced regularly and comply with the SUVA guidelines for the safe operation of aerial work platforms and lifting equipment. For questions on the correct machine choice and on IPAF/SUVA-compliant instruction of your employees, Luibl provides telephone advice in advance.
