Aerial Work Platforms for Indoor and Outdoor Use in Basel

The Luibl range covers working heights from under 8 m up to 110 m. For the pharmaceutical and chemical industry – the main customer base in the greater Basel economic area – low-emission electric scissor lifts and articulating boom lifts are available, allowing production machinery to be safely bridged and serviced. For outdoor sites and terrain with uneven ground, we supply diesel and all-wheel-drive telescopic boom lifts and tracked aerial platforms.

Available types for Basel:

  • Scissor lifts (electric): Working heights from 7.60 m (e.g. Genie GS 1932), ideal for indoor work in logistics and production

  • Articulating boom lifts (diesel): Working height up to 25.77 m, outreach up to 18.29 m – for hard-to-reach areas in chemical and pharmaceutical facilities

  • Telescopic boom lifts: e.g. Genie S-65 – 21.80 m working height, 17.10 m outreach, diesel

  • Truck-mounted platforms: Road-legal, flexible without a transport vehicle

  • Tracked aerial platforms: For soft ground, gravel and uneven outdoor surfaces

  • High-rack scissor lifts: For warehouses with racking several metres high

Rent Heavy-Duty Telehandlers & Forklifts

In the greater Basel area, Luibl offers one of the most powerful equipment ranges in the region: the Merlo P. 120.10 HM reaches a lifting capacity of 12,000 kg at 9.80 m lifting height – a machine that few local providers keep in stock. The Merlo Roto 50.21S (4,950 kg, 21.00 m lifting height, 17.90 m outreach) covers rotating loads that boom lifts cannot reach.

In addition, counterbalance forklifts (electric and diesel), all-terrain forklifts and heavy-duty forklifts are available for material transport and intralogistics. All telehandlers can be combined with attachments – pallet forks, buckets, and personnel baskets available on request.

Delivery Area: Basel and the Tri-Border Region

Luibl delivers to Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft, including Liestal, Pratteln, Muttenz, Reinach, Allschwil, Binningen and Rheinfelden. Thanks to our Europe-wide delivery network, supply is also possible to the German region of Loerrach / Freiburg im Breisgau, as well as to the French Alsace region (Saint-Louis, Mulhouse) – an advantage for companies with cross-border projects.
