Telehandler Rental in Regensburg: 64 Models up to 33,000 kg

Rent telehandlers for Regensburg from 64 models with 4.30 to 38.90 m lift height and 1,250 to 33,000 kg capacity. In the city, construction sites range from the World Heritage ensemble of the old town to plant premises of the automotive and electrical industries to areas at the Danube port. How complex a rental becomes depends less on the machine alone than on the interplay of several variables. We have grouped them into five factors: type, rental period, transport, attachments and local conditions. We deliberately do not state prices here, because they result precisely from these factors. The machines come by low-loader from Passau. Further machines for the city are shown on Construction machinery rental in Regensburg, the entire fleet in the Telehandlers category.

Each of the five factors affects planning and the quote, and none can be considered in isolation. A large roto, for example, requires heavy transport and usually also approvals for the set-up position.

1. Type and machine size: rigid, roto, heavy-duty or electric.

2. Rental period: individual lifting days or an entire construction phase.

3. Transport, weight and dimensions: low-loader, access, unloading area.

4. Attachments: forks, bucket, work platform, hook or winch.

5. Permits and conditions at the job site: city, plant, port, ground.

If you have clarified all five before enquiring, you get a reliable quote without later supplements.

Two examples show the interaction. A roof truss in an inner courtyard of the old town may only need two days' rental, but a roto with large outreach, a permit for the set-up position and heavy transport. A shell construction on the outskirts, by contrast, runs for weeks with a compact rigid machine that stands on the site road without a special permit.

The type determines what the machine can do and how much space it needs. The rental fleet is divided as follows:

Rigid for building construction

The Merlo P 40.17 lifts 4,000 kg to 16.70 m and reaches 12.50 m forward at a dead weight of 10,630 kg. Rigid machines remain compact and are suitable for sites with changing locations.

Roto for lifting over obstacles

The Magni RTH 6.39SH reaches 38.90 m lift height and 27.00 m outreach at 6,000 kg. The Merlo Roto 75.25 carries 7,500 kg to 25.00 m and, at 28,000 kg, is the heaviest roto in the fleet. Larger machines need more space for the outriggers.

Heavy-duty and electric

Heavy-duty models lift up to 33,000 kg. At the other end is the Manitou MT 625e with 2,500 kg to 5.85 m, with no exhaust at the job site.

The duration depends on the task, not on the machine. A roto setting roof trusses or precast elements is often needed for just a few lifting days. A rigid telehandler, by contrast, accompanies the shell construction for weeks and supplies every storey with material.

Include delivery and collection in the period, as both trips tie up the machine. For plant shutdowns, the operator sets the window, so the rental should match it. On sites near the Danube and Regen, plan a buffer in case flooding interrupts the work. An extension is possible by arrangement if the machine is not committed elsewhere.

With long rentals, daily checks become more important. The driver checks tyres, hydraulics, outriggers and safety devices before every shift according to the operating manual. For short jobs, preparation is what counts: if the set-up position is fixed and the load is slung before the telehandler arrives, the rental period stays short. Several small lifts on different days can sometimes be combined into one appointment, which saves a second transport.

From Passau it is around 120 km via the A3 to Regensburg. How complex the transport becomes depends on the machine: the MT 625e measures 3.83 × 1.81 × 1.92 m and weighs 4,800 kg. The Magni RTH 6.39SH puts 8.60 × 2.54 × 3.12 m and 24,000 kg onto the low-loader, the Merlo Roto 75.25 as much as 28,000 kg.

Access and unloading area

The articulated lorry needs a passable access and a level, load-bearing area for unloading. In the old town, a public square may require a permit for this. The machines can also be delivered to Neutraubling, Regenstauf, Kelheim, Schwandorf and Straubing or to Pentling and Obertraubling. Details on vehicles and process can be found under Transport.

Matching machine and vehicle

The difference between the types is clearly visible on the road. A rigid Merlo P 40.17 weighs 10,630 kg, a large roto more than twice as much. If you can solve the task with a smaller machine, you save effort on transport and usually also on space for unloading and outriggers. So check whether the full lift height is really needed or whether a closer set-up position is enough.

With the right attachment, a telehandler takes over the tasks of other machines. Available for rent:

• Bucket for bulk material, gravel and excavated soil, for example in yards in the surrounding area or when backfilling excavations

• Work platform for people at height, for example at gutters or lights

• Load hook for slung loads such as steel beams or ventilation units

• Cable winch for lifting with rope when the load is lowered vertically into a shaft or courtyard

• Lattice jib winch for greater hook height over roof edges

Include the attachment in your enquiry right away, as not every attachment fits every model, and the mounting must belong to the machine.

Every attachment changes the load chart and operating requirements. For work platform jobs, DGUV Grundsatz 308-009 requires additional level 2b; for crane operation with hook or winch on the roto, level 2a. If it is only about working at height, a telescopic boom lift is often the simpler solution. For loads in tight courtyards, the mini crane in Regensburg is also an option.

The location sets conditions that have nothing to do with the machine and still determine the effort.

Old town with Stadtamhof

The World Heritage ensemble is densely built up. For set-up positions on public ground, obtain a special use permit from the city; coordinate work on listed buildings with the responsible monument protection authority. A roto with large outreach can serve several back courtyards from one position. During events, markets or construction sites in the neighbourhood, the desired spot may be occupied, so it pays to consider an alternative date.

Plants and port

On plant premises, the operator's registration, briefing and routes apply. Cargo handling at the port with the West Port and East Port is mainly operated by bayernhafen; clarify set-up positions there with the port operator. Regensburg is also a railway hub: anyone lifting next to tracks coordinates the slewing range and time window with the operator of the railway facility.

Ground along the Danube and Regen

In June 2013, the Danube reached around 6.80 m at the Iron Bridge. Areas near the bank can remain soft for a long time afterwards. The heavier the machine, the more important paved routes and load distribution under the outriggers become. Load spreader pads under the outriggers and a set-up position compacted in advance reduce the risk of an outrigger pad sinking in. Ask the client whether there are pipes, cellars or cavities beneath the area.

Requirements under DGUV Vorschrift 68

Under § 7, drivers must be at least 18 years old, fit and trained, and authorised in writing by the employer. Training is based on DGUV Grundsatz 308-009: level 1 for rigid machines, additional level 2a for roto and crane operation, additional level 2b for the work platform.

Employer obligations

Before use, the employer prepares a risk assessment under § 3 BetrSichV. Instruction is given in accordance with § 12 BetrSichV and § 12 ArbSchG. On handover, we explain the operation and load chart of the rented model. If the qualification is missing, we can put you in touch with a certified training provider; more on this under Training through certified partners.

Describe the load, lift height, job site and period, and the desired attachment if applicable. On this basis, we put together machine, transport and date. Enquire now
