Bucket Attachment for Telehandlers

Rent a Telehandler Lifting Hook
A lifting hook attachment transforms any telehandler into a mobile crane. This attachment enables the precise lifting and positioning of loads that cannot be safely handled with pallet forks—such as suspended loads, big bags, formwork elements, or steel beams. Thanks to a quick-change system, the lifting hook can be mounted in just a few minutes.

Luibl rents out lifting hooks for telehandlers with a load capacity of up to 3 tonnes. The attachment is compatible with Manitou, Merlo, and Magni telehandlers from the Luibl rental fleet. The maximum usable load capacity is always determined by the load chart of the specific carrier machine being used.

Typical Areas of Application
On many construction sites, a telehandler equipped with a lifting hook can replace a separate crane. Typical applications include:

Building and civil engineering: Positioning precast concrete parts, formwork beams, and reinforcement cages

Steel construction and assembly: Lifting beams, structural steel profiles, and hall components over obstacles

Wind energy and industry: Positioning bulky components where crane operating space is limited

Big bag handling: Transporting bulk materials using attachment points directly on the hook

The combination of a telehandler and a lifting hook pays off quickly, especially on confined construction sites where using a mobile crane would not be cost-effective.

Technical Notes and Safety
When operating a telehandler with a lifting hook, the regulations for load-handling attachments (specifically DGUV Regulation 52/54) apply. The operator requires certification in accordance with DGUV Principle 308-009 for rough-terrain telehandlers. Rigging equipment—such as chains, ropes, or lifting straps—must be planned for separately and must be certified/inspected.

The load on the lifting hook must not exceed the permissible load capacity of the carrier machine at the specific operating radius. The load chart of the machine being used is the deciding factor.

Frequently asked questions about the load hook for telehandlers
What is the load capacity of the Luibl load hook for telehandlers? The attachment is rated for up to 3 tonnes. The actual usable load capacity depends on the specific telehandler used and the outreach position.

Is a separate crane operator's license required? No. To operate the telehandler with a load hook, the telehandler operator's license (in accordance with DGUV Principle 308-009) is sufficient, provided the lifting operations do not require special notification or permits.

Which carrier machines are compatible? The load hook fits Manitou, Merlo, and Magni telehandlers from the Luibl rental fleet. Please contact us directly regarding specific projects.

What are the rental terms? We offer daily, weekly, and monthly rental options. Delivery is available throughout Europe, or you can pick up the equipment from our location.

What lifting gear is required? Chains, round slings, or wire rope slings—depending on the load and the method of attachment. These are not included in the scope of delivery and must be provided or rented separately.
