Rent work platforms and forklifts in Zurich at a reasonable price

Zurich is Switzerland's economic and financial centre. The combination of a strong service sector, financial hub and the logistics hub around Zurich-Kloten Airport ensures consistently high demand for aerial work platforms, forklifts and telehandlers. Companies wanting to respond flexibly to customer projects need a hire partner with reliable availability and short delivery times. Luibl Rental hires out this equipment across Europe – with its own low-loader fleet delivering directly to Zurich and the surrounding area.

Zurich and its surrounding municipalities offer a wide range of applications for hired equipment:

• Zurich-West: The former industrial quarter around Hardbrücke is now home to numerous office and commercial buildings – ongoing façade and conversion work calls for articulating boom lifts with a large working height.

• City centre and financial district: Construction and refurbishment work on bank and commercial buildings along Bahnhofstrasse requires compact, manoeuvrable work platforms for use in confined spaces.

• Kloten and Dübendorf airport region: Extensive logistics and warehouse space has been established around Zurich Airport, requiring powerful forklifts and high-bay scissor lifts.

• Regensdorf, Dietikon, Schlieren and Urdorf: The commercial and industrial areas in the Limmat Valley are among the most important locations for construction and logistics companies in the greater Zurich area.

• Wohlen and the wider surrounding area: We also deliver reliably to construction sites and business locations throughout the canton, beyond the core city.

Our rental fleet covers all common types of work platform for indoor and outdoor use in Zurich and the surrounding area:

• Articulating boom lifts (diesel, electric): Models such as the Manitou 170 AETJ-L with a working height of 16.90m are ideal for façade work in Zurich-West and on confined city-centre sites.

• Scissor lifts (electric): Models such as the Genie GS 4047 with a working height of 13.70m are ideal for use in logistics centres around Kloten and in high-bay warehouses. Electric drive is particularly suited to emission-sensitive indoor areas.

• Telescopic boom lifts and high-bay scissor lifts: For maintenance work in warehouses and on uneven ground in the Limmat Valley, including narrow-aisle and high-bay versions for use between tight racking rows.

• Truck-mounted platforms: Quickly mobilised for short-notice maintenance work across the greater Zurich area.

All models come from leading manufacturers such as Manitou, Genie, Merlo and Magni.

We hire out powerful forklifts and telehandlers for warehouse, industrial and construction use in Zurich:

• Forklifts: Diesel, electric and rough-terrain forklifts for logistics sites around Kloten and Dübendorf, as well as warehouse operations throughout the greater Zurich area.

• Telehandlers: Models such as the Merlo P.120.10 HM with a lifting capacity of 12,000kg and the Magni RTH 5.21 SH with a lifting height of 20.80m offer great reach even in confined conditions – versatile for use on construction sites, in industry and in agriculture.

Both short- and long-term hire are available. For multi-machine requirements, we put together a tailored combined quote for your construction project in Zurich.

Our hire fleet includes models from several well-known manufacturers – including Manitou, Merlo, Magni and Genie – covering a broad range of working heights, load-capacity classes and drive types. Many of our work platforms and telehandlers are fitted with heating and air conditioning, allowing year-round use even in changing weather conditions. Thanks to our network of over 200 locations, we can usually respond quickly to short-notice enquiries for the greater Zurich area.

A key advantage of Luibl Rental: we operate our own low-loader fleet for transporting your hired machines – including deliveries to Zurich and to municipalities such as Regensdorf, Schlieren, Urdorf, Dietikon, Kloten, Dübendorf and Wohlen. This guarantees reliable delivery times, direct points of contact and a smooth process from enquiry through to return. With a network of over 200 locations, we are also reliably positioned for short-notice deployments across the greater Zurich area.

In Switzerland, Art. 8 of the Ordinance on the Prevention of Accidents (VUV) sets out the employer's obligation to provide operating personnel with adequate instruction on the safe handling of aerial work platforms. SUVA provides supplementary guidelines and training recommendations for this purpose. Luibl Rental recommends checking the current instruction and qualification of the personnel deployed before every job in Zurich. Note: the specific requirements under VUV Art. 8 and the SUVA guidelines should be reviewed legally on a case-by-case basis, particularly for cross-border assignments involving personnel from abroad.
