Rent Electric Telehandlers!

Electric telehandlers combine the lifting capacity and reach of classic telescopic handlers with a locally zero-emission and low-noise drive. Luibl Rental hires out models such as the Manitou MT 625e as well as Twin-Energy machines from Magni, which run on electric or diesel power depending on the application. Using our own low-loader fleet, we deliver directly to the job site nationwide; delivery across Europe is available on request through our network of more than 200 locations.

Switching telehandlers to electric drive affects not just the motor but the entire drivetrain and hydraulic architecture. Battery management and the charge cycles of the lithium-ion systems used are decisive for operation. Unlike lead-acid batteries, modern lithium-ion batteries enable:

• Interim charging during work breaks without any memory effect
• Constant power output with full torque regardless of the state of charge
• Lower maintenance effort, as no topping up of battery water is required

Another technical difference lies in the hydraulics: while in diesel engines the hydraulic pump often keeps running at idle, an electric telehandler only consumes energy when it is actually driving, lifting, or slewing. This increases net operating time per charge and lowers operating costs.

Concrete battery and charging data are decisive when planning a job. Battery capacity, charging time, available charging connections, and charging power vary by model and application. Luibl Rental advises on the right configuration for single- and multi-shift operation and coordinates the on-site charging infrastructure with you. On Twin-Energy models, such as those used in the Magni RTH series, a diesel-powered auxiliary drive is also available. This allows switching between electric and diesel operation depending on the site — for example, running electrically indoors and on diesel for longer distances outdoors — without needing a second machine.

Electric telehandlers are now specifically required in many tenders. Luibl Rental serves three areas in particular here:

The use of electric telescopic handlers is now mandatory in many tenders. Luibl Rental serves three core areas in particular:

Indoor Logistics and Factory Halls

In enclosed halls, for example in the food or pharmaceutical industry, exhaust fumes are an exclusion criterion. An electric telehandler enables racking work and maintenance on ceiling structures without affecting the air quality in the hall. Low-noise operation also reduces the noise exposure for other staff in the hall.

Tunnel Construction and Underground Car Park Renovation

In areas with limited ventilation, companies save on investment and operating costs for large-scale extraction systems by using electric machines. The compact design of many electric models also makes it easier to work under height restrictions.

Night-Time Construction Sites and Urban Areas

Noise control regulations in city centers often restrict the use of loud machinery after 8 p.m. Luibl Rental's electric telehandlers operate quietly, making it easier to comply with local noise limits during multi-shift operations.

Electric telehandlers are particularly suitable for halls, tunnels, inner-city construction sites, and other emission- or noise-sensitive applications. Lifting capacity, lift height, reach, machine dimensions, battery capacity, charging connection, and planned duration of use are decisive when selecting the right model. Luibl Rental assists with the technical choice of equipment and arranges delivery nationwide and, on request, across Europe.

Electric telehandlers today achieve lifting capacities of 5 tonnes and more and, with booms reaching up to 26 metres of lift height, cover the majority of industrial assembly work. Integrating 360° rotation into electric machines requires loss-free energy transfer through the slew ring. Luibl Rental relies on slip-ring technology for this in the guided roto models from Magni.

Hiring an electric telehandler offers several economic advantages in rental operation:

• Electricity costs per operating hour are often lower than the fuel costs of a comparable diesel machine
• Lower maintenance effort: no oil filter changes on the engine, no AdBlue after-treatment
• Using zero-emission equipment supports sustainability documentation, for example in public procurement procedures

Electric telehandlers from Luibl Rental feature the same safety systems as their diesel counterparts, supplemented by battery-specific monitoring:

• Digital load moment indicator (LMI) with real-time stability monitoring
• Integrated diagnostics that detect voltage drops or thermal anomalies in the battery pack and initiate protective measures
• All electrical components tested in accordance with DGUV 308-009
