Construction projects in Potsdam bring specific logistical challenges. Whether for careful renovation work in the historic city centre, complex glazing installations at Filmpark Babelsberg, or new-build projects at Wissenschaftspark Golm: space constraints, narrow access routes or strict ground protection requirements often prevent the use of conventional mobile cranes. For these scenarios, mini cranes offer the best technical and economic solution.

At Luibl, you can rent the latest spider cranes (rubber track cranes) from premium manufacturers Maeda and SPT for your construction site in Potsdam and the surrounding area. With rubber track undercarriages, minimal clearance widths and locally emission-free drives, you can lift loads of up to 10 tonnes safely and with millimetre precision to their destination.

The safety and efficiency on the construction site depend on selecting exactly the right machine. We offer you a comprehensive, readily available fleet covering load capacities from 0.9 to 10.0 tonnes.

1. Ultra-Compact Cranes for Multi-Storey Construction and Indoor Use

For projects with extremely restricted access routes (e.g. standard doorways) or strict floor load requirements on intermediate decks:

• Maeda MC104C (MIK-104): This pure 400V electric drive model measures exactly 0.60 m in width. With a dead weight of just 1,105 kg, the crane lifts up to 995 kg (max. lifting height: 5.50 m). Ideal for locally emission-free interior fit-out.

• Maeda MK1033CW1 (MIK-1033): A knuckle-boom spider crane (hybrid) with a 995 kg load capacity and 11.30 m lifting height. Its dead weight of 2,300 kg makes it the specialist for working around obstructions.

2. All-Rounders for Facade Construction and Medium-Weight Installations

This class delivers the optimum balance of reach, lifting capacity and transport dimensions for steel, high-rise and glass construction:

• SPT299 (MIK-299): With a 2,950 kg load capacity, 14.50 m lifting height and an excellent power-to-weight ratio (2,750 kg), this hybrid model is the preferred working machine in facade construction.

• Maeda MC305C-3 (MIK-305): The proven industry standard delivers 2,980 kg load capacity and 12.52 m lifting height at 4,080 kg dead weight.

• Maeda MC405C-3 (MIK-405): Extends the capacity to 3,830 kg load capacity and 16.80 m maximum lifting height.

3. Heavy-Lift Mini Cranes for Industry and Plant Construction

When maximum power in the tightest space is required at Potsdam production facilities or infrastructure projects:

• Maeda MC815C (MIK-815): A hybrid powerhouse with 8,090 kg load capacity, 19.60 m lifting height and 9,700 kg machine weight.

• SPT1099 (MIK-1099): The most powerful machine in our compact class lifts loads of up to 10,000 kg to a lifting height of 28.20 m — predestined for machine positioning and heavy-lift installations.

The efficiency of a mini crane increases with the right attachment. At Luibl, you rent not just the base machine, but the complete periphery tailored to your specific application:

• Vacuum lifting / glass vacuum lifter: For glass and facade construction in Potsdam, we hire out vacuum lifters with load capacities of up to 1,200 kg. Controlled via the crane's radio remote control, you position large glass elements precisely and without damage.

• Fly jib / jib extension: To overcome obstacles such as roof edges or pipework, our articulating jib extensions considerably increase reach.

• White non-marking rubber tracks: For use on sensitive surfaces (historic parquet near palaces, industrial coatings, tiles), we equip the cranes with non-abrasive rubber tracks.

Planning certainty is essential for site managers and procurement teams. Our B2B rental terms are structured clearly and without hidden costs:

• Dry hire (rental without operator): We rent to professional companies. You deploy your own qualified personnel to operate the machine.

• Scalable rental periods: We offer tiered rates for daily, weekly or long-term rentals, precisely adapted to the duration of your project.

• Machinery breakdown insurance: High-quality equipment requires sound risk coverage. Every rental is covered by our mandatory insurance (with a fixed, defined excess) to protect you against unforeseeable costs in the event of damage.

We have made the procurement process as efficient as possible:

1. Specification: Define the required hook height, maximum load weight and clearance width. We support you in evaluating the load charts.

2. Quotation: You will receive a written, detailed quotation including a transparently stated logistics flat rate for transport to Potsdam.

3. Delivery & Briefing: We do not use third-party hauliers. Just-in-time delivery is carried out with our own low-loader fleet. At handover, your personnel receive a professional, technical machine briefing.
