Rent Construction Equipment, Aerial Work Platforms and Forklifts – Machinery Rental for Industry and Construction
Rental for industry and construction: aerial work platforms, telehandlers, forklifts, construction equipment and cranes. Europe-wide delivery from Passau.
The efficient execution of construction projects, industrial installations, or municipal deployments depends on the availability of the right equipment. As a machinery rental company with its own rental fleet, Luibl Rental offers you a comprehensive portfolio of state-of-the-art rental equipment, precisely tailored to the requirements of professional users. We see ourselves not merely as a rental company, but as a technical partner giving you Europe-wide access to special equipment from renowned manufacturers such as Magni, Manitou, Merlo, and Liebherr. In an industry where downtime causes high costs, Luibl Rental guarantees your project's success through maximum equipment availability and excellent service.
Our Rental Fleet: Technology for the Highest Standards
Luibl Rental's range covers a wide variety of categories serving different technical focus areas. We consistently rely on young fleets to minimise downtime risk and to offer the latest emissions and safety technology. Our rental fleet is designed so that we have the right solution ready for both standard tasks and highly complex special requirements.
Which Equipment Do You Need? A Quick Guide
Five equipment areas, one question: what needs to be moved – and where to?
- People and materials up to height → Aerial work platforms. Six designs from 6 to 57 m, from the narrow electric scissor lift for standard doorways to the telescopic boom lift for facades and industrial assembly.
- Lifting loads while reaching forward → Telehandlers. Fixed for straight lifts, Roto for 360-degree work from a fixed position, heavy-duty for everything beyond.
- Moving pallets and general cargo on site → Forklifts. Electric for indoor use, diesel and rough-terrain forklifts for outdoors, heavy-duty forklifts for heavy industrial loads.
- Moving soil and bulk material → Construction equipment. Excavators for excavation and demolition, wheel loaders for fast material handling.
- Lifting loads over great distances and heights → Cranes. Truck-mounted cranes for classic mobile crane work, mini cranes for interiors, rooftops and backyards.
Not sure which area is the right one? That is the norm on projects where earthworks, material handling and access at height run in parallel. Describe the job to us – you get equipment from all areas through one contact person, with coordinated delivery dates and a single invoice.
Aerial Work Platforms for Every Application
From compact scissor lifts for indoor use to rough-terrain telescopic boom lifts for extreme working heights, we cover the entire spectrum. Particular focus is placed on locally emission-free electric drives for indoor use and powerful diesel units with all-wheel drive for tough outdoor applications.
-
Scissor lifts: Ideal for vertical lifts with large platform capacity and space for several people plus tools.
-
Articulating boom lifts: Perfect for reaching over obstacles at height and precisely accessing hard-to-reach spots.
-
Truck-mounted platforms: Maximum mobility for changing job sites, ideal for municipalities and facade cleaners.
-
Mast lifts: Compact helpers for maintenance work in narrow aisles or during inventory.
Telehandlers – Rigid and Rotating
Our fleet includes fixed telehandlers for classic lifting tasks as well as rotating models (Roto), which, thanks to their continuous 360° rotation, can serve as an efficient crane replacement. With lifting heights of up to 39 metres and load capacities of up to 25 tonnes, we set the benchmark in the industry. The Magni and Manitou models in our fleet are known worldwide for their precise load control and unmatched stability. Thanks to variable outrigger support, rotating telehandlers can also be safely positioned on uneven terrain.

Forklifts and Heavy-Duty Logistics
For material handling in warehouses or on outdoor sites, Luibl Rental offers industrial forklifts, all-terrain forklifts, and heavy-duty forklifts. Our heavy-duty specialists move loads of up to 25 tonnes confidently and safely, supported by state-of-the-art load moment limiters and ergonomic cabs that enable fatigue-free work over long shifts.
Industry-Specific Rental Solutions: We Understand Your Challenges
Luibl Rental serves specific industries with tailor-made equipment and a deep understanding of their respective operational challenges:
-
Construction & Building Industry: Time pressure and harsh conditions are standard here. We deliver robust telehandlers and large-format scissor lifts on schedule for the start of your site work, including on-site instruction. Our equipment is often fitted with soot particle filters so it can also be operated safely in semi-enclosed shell constructions.
-
Industry & Maintenance: For work in confined factory halls, we offer narrow electric platforms with white, non-marking tyres that protect the floor covering and produce no harmful exhaust emissions at the point of use. The integration of 230V sockets directly in the basket makes maintenance work considerably easier.
-
Events & Exhibition Technology: Equipment available at short notice and in visually flawless condition is essential here. Luibl Rental supports the setup of complex stage constructions, lighting systems, and temporary infrastructure.
-
Energy-Efficient Refurbishment & Glazing: Through specialised attachments such as glass suckers and work baskets with extremely high load capacity, we enable the efficient installation of heavy triple glazing in modern facades.
-
Tree Care & Landscaping: Rough-terrain articulated platforms with special tyres provide access to parks or forest edges without excessively compacting the ground.
Technical Expertise and Special Equipment
What sets Luibl Rental apart from conventional rental companies is the depth of our technical advice. Every project has specific requirements regarding reach, load capacity, and ground conditions. Our equipment features state-of-the-art functions such as radio remote controls, allowing the operator to control loads from outside the cab with the best possible view of the target point.
A particular focus is placed on versatility through attachments. A telehandler from Luibl Rental is far more than just a fork machine. By quickly changing attachments via hydraulic quick couplers, you turn one machine into a multifunctional tool:
-
Winches: Turn the telehandler into a fully-fledged mobile crane for precise lifting tasks.
-
Lattice jib extensions: Increase reach and hook height for intricate assembly work over obstructions.
-
Work baskets: With integrated controls, they enable the safe transport of people and materials to extreme heights.
-
Buckets: Make the machine suitable for earthworks, bulk material handling, or winter service on the site.
Project Example: Glass Facade Construction at Height
A recent project for an industrial customer required the installation of heavy glass elements on a facade at a height of 25 metres. The challenge lay in combining the necessary precision with limited space on the ground. Luibl Rental provided a rotating telehandler of the Magni RTH type for this purpose, fitted with a specialised glass manipulator. Thanks to the continuous 360° rotation and millimetre-precise control, the team was able to position the elements safely without having to reposition the machine multiple times. This saved the customer around 20% of the calculated deployment time and minimised the risk of breakage for the costly glass elements.
Project Example: Major Logistics Project at the Port of Hamburg
To unload special oversized containers, a logistics partner urgently needed two heavy-duty forklifts with a load capacity of 16 tonnes each. Luibl Rental coordinated the logistics promptly from various locations. Despite the difficult ground conditions on the quay, the machines completed the deployment without delay, thanks to their large-volume pneumatic tyres and powerful Stage V diesel engines. This example underscores Luibl Rental's enormous flexibility and logistical backbone for time-critical major orders in an international environment.
The Rental Process at Luibl Rental: Simple, Transparent, Secure
To make planning easier for you, we have streamlined our rental process, both digitally and in person, for maximum efficiency. In just four steps, you'll get the right machine for your job site:
-
Needs analysis: Contact our experts by phone or via a web enquiry. We clarify parameters such as maximum lifting height, required lateral reach, load capacity at the load centre, ground conditions, and the required drive type (electric vs. diesel).
-
Individual quote: You receive a transparent quote within a very short time. We break down all costs – from the base rental fee and machine breakdown insurance to transport costs and any costs for attachments.
-
Logistics & induction: We deliver the equipment precisely on the requested date using our own low-loaders or long-standing logistics partners. Our trained drivers give your team a detailed on-site induction covering operation, emergency lowering systems, and safety features.
-
Support during the rental period: Should any technical questions or unforeseen challenges arise, our technical support is available immediately. Once the project is complete, Luibl Rental promptly deregisters and collects the equipment.
Safety and Quality
The safety of your staff is non-negotiable for Luibl Rental. As a specialist rental company, we stand for the highest standards, going far beyond the legal minimum:
-
Recurring inspection in accordance with VUV: Every machine has a complete, up-to-date inspection log. After every deployment, we carry out an internal inspection to immediately rule out mechanical or hydraulic defects.
-
Maintenance to manufacturer specifications: We use exclusively original spare parts to permanently guarantee the reliability and load capacity values of the machines.
-
PPE advice: We actively inform you about the personal protective equipment (PPE) required against falls. With us, you can rent the appropriate safety equipment directly alongside the machine.
-
Operator credentials: We support compliance with the VUV and check operators' qualifications before handover (e.g. IPAF, system card, or telehandler operating licence) to minimise liability risks for you as the operator's employer.
Cost-Effectiveness: Renting Instead of Buying at Luibl Rental
For many companies, long-term rental at Luibl Rental is more economically attractive than the high capital commitment of ownership. In a time of fluctuating construction activity, renting offers decisive advantages:
-
Predictable fixed costs: You only pay for the time the equipment is actually working on site. No costs for storage, insurance, or maintenance during unused periods.
-
Tax optimisation: Rental fees are immediately deductible operating expenses, which protects your liquidity.
-
Innovation guarantee: You always work with the latest technology. Modern machines consume less fuel and have better telematics systems for monitoring deployment.
-
Flexibility: If requirements on the job site change (e.g. higher floors), we easily exchange the rented equipment for a larger model from our fleet.
Construction Equipment and Cranes in Our Rental Fleet
Alongside access technology and forklifts, our equipment rental covers two further areas that are regularly requested together on construction sites.
Construction equipment – for earthworks, excavation and material handling. Crawler excavators handle excavation and demolition down to great depths, wheel loaders take care of fast material handling on paved and unpaved surfaces alike. Operating weight, reach and the load-bearing capacity of the ground are decisive for the selection.
Cranes – for lifts beyond the reach of telehandlers. Truck-mounted cranes cover classic mobile crane work when loads have to be moved over greater distances and heights. Mini cranes work where no mobile crane can go: indoors, on rooftops, in backyards and anywhere passage width and ground load are tightly limited.
In many projects the areas interlock – earthworks, material handling and access at height run in parallel. The advantage of a construction equipment rental company with a broad portfolio is that you get equipment from all areas through one contact person, one delivery date and one invoice.
What Does Machine Rental Cost? The Factors at a Glance
Rental prices in machinery rental cannot be quoted as a flat rate – but the factors that make them up are the same in every equipment area:
- Equipment class: Design, working height or load capacity, and performance class determine the base rental.
- Drive and equipment: Electric, diesel or hybrid, all-wheel drive, special tyres and attachments affect the rate.
- Rental period: Daily, weekly and monthly rates are tiered. The longer the term, the lower the effective daily rate. For periods of several months, long-term rental with its own terms is generally the more economical option.
- Transport: Delivery and collection are shown separately from the equipment rental and depend on the distance from our Passau location, the transport weight and the accessibility of the job site.
- Additional services: Machine breakdown insurance, on-site induction and special equipment are calculated separately.
In every Luibl Rental quote, base rental, transport, insurance and additional services are itemised separately – so you can compare instead of having to accept a lump sum. Always included are an inspected machine with a valid inspection, maintenance and recurring inspections during the rental period, as well as technical advice on equipment selection.
