Tracked aerial work platforms – also known as crawler lifts or spider lifts – are the right choice when wheels fail: on rough terrain, sensitive surfaces and in confined indoor spaces. Luibl rents tracked aerial work platforms from leading manufacturers such as CTE, Teupen, Hinowa and Leguan with working heights from 13 to 40 metres – delivered across Europe via our own low-loader fleet, backed by a network of more than 200 locations.

What makes tracked aerial work platforms special?

The crawler undercarriage distributes the machine's dead weight over a large contact area – minimal ground bearing pressure, maximum protection for sensitive surfaces. The non-marking rubber tracks leave hardly any traces on parquet, marble or tiles with underfloor heating. On rough terrain, crawler platforms handle gradients of up to 30% and move safely across mud, sand and gravel. Key technical data for our tracked platforms:

  • Working height: 13 m to 40 m

  • Load capacity: 200 kg to 400 kg

  • Outreach: up to 17 m

  • Retracted width: from 78 cm – fits through standard doorways

  • Max. gradient: 30%

  • Drive: bi-energy (diesel/petrol + electric 230V/battery)

  • Turret slew range: 360° continuous

Articulated vs. telescopic tracked platforms: the right type for your application

  • Articulated telescopic crawler platforms (CTE TRACCESS series): Knuckle boom for overhead work reaching over obstacles – galleries, pipework, ceiling beams.

  • Telescopic tracked platforms (Teupen LEO series, up to 40 m): Maximum outreach of up to 17 m, fast positioning for facades and tree crown maintenance.

Applications: When is a crawler aerial work platform the first choice?

  • Tree care & forestry work: Compact models (from 78 cm) reach backyards and parks.

  • Churches, museums & heritage buildings: Emission-free operation plus non-marking tracks protect historic fabric.

  • Industrial maintenance & facility management: Precise manoeuvring in confined workshop halls.

  • Construction sites with difficult terrain: Mud, sand, gravel and gradients of up to 30%.

  • Shopping centres & sports halls: Emission-free operation and low point loading.

  • Advertising & illuminated signage: 360° slew range saves repositioning time.

  • Events & film production: For stage builds, rigging work and camera moves in halls or outdoor venues, tracked aerial work platforms offer the decisive advantage: no anchoring in the ground, no damage to hall flooring or lawns, emission-free operation even in enclosed event venues.

  • Building & glass cleaning: The combined manoeuvrability and outreach of up to 17 m makes tracked aerial work platforms the preferred choice for glass facades, light strips and hard-to-reach exterior fronts – even on unpaved or uneven ground around the building.

Safety: Instruction under VUV Art. 8

Under VUV, aerial work platforms may only be operated by instructed personnel. At the start of the rental, your staff receive proper instruction on operating the tracked aerial work platform. For further qualifications, we recommend a certified aerial work platform course to IPAF standard.

Delivery with our own low-loader – across Europe

Luibl delivers your tracked aerial work platform directly to the site using our own low-loader – in Passau, Lower Bavaria, Austria and across Europe. Our in-house transport logistics ensure punctual delivery, proper handover and reliable collection. For work on level ground, we also offer articulated boom lifts and telescopic boom lifts for rent.

FAQs about Tracked Aerial Work Platforms in Switzerland

chevronDown

Which surfaces are tracked aerial work platforms best suited for?

Tracked aerial work platforms are specialised for extremely pressure-sensitive or uneven surfaces. Thanks to the wide load distribution of the tracked undercarriage, ground pressure is minimal. This makes them the first choice for lawns, historic cobblestone paving, hall floors with underfloor heating, or tiled floors in shopping centres. Outdoors, they handle mud, sand and slopes where wheeled aerial platforms would fail.

Do tracked aerial work platforms fit through standard doorways?

Yes, that's one of their biggest advantages. Many models in our rental fleet (for example in the 15m to 17m class) feature a narrow undercarriage that is often only 78 cm to 90 cm wide when retracted. This allows the machines to be manoeuvred easily through standard interior doors, garden gates, or narrow corridors in industrial facilities.

Do tracked platforms have an emission-free drive for indoor use?

Almost all of our spider lifts are equipped with a bi-energy drive. This means: for outdoor use, you rely on the powerful diesel or petrol engine. Indoors, you switch to the electromagnetic 230V mains drive (Type J) or the integrated battery operation. This allows you to work completely emission-free and with low noise, ideal for hospitals, schools, or churches.

How does outrigger support work on uneven terrain or stairs?

Tracked aerial work platforms feature what is known as variable outrigger support. The four outrigger legs can often be positioned asymmetrically and at different angles. This allows the machine to be levelled perfectly even on slopes, over wall ledges, or on staircases. Modern sensor technology provides automatic levelling at the push of a button.

Does Luibl deliver the tracked aerial work platform directly to the site?

Absolutely. Since tracked platforms have no road registration due to their tracked drive and cannot travel independently to the site, we organise transport using our specialised low-loader trailers. We deliver on schedule throughout Switzerland and, if required, across Europe directly to your site.

Do I need a special operator licence for tracked platforms?

Yes, safe operation requires instruction in accordance with VUV / ArGV 3 and the relevant EKAS guidelines, as well as corresponding authorisation from the employer. We recommend IPAF training (category 1b, available in Switzerland via verbandvsaa.ch). If you do not have trained personnel, Luibl Rental in Passau also offers rental including an experienced operator.
