Rent Forklifts from Luibl Rental – Your Intralogistics Partner

The efficient movement of goods and heavy loads is the backbone of every successful logistics chain. When you rent a forklift from Luibl Rental, you're choosing a modern fleet precisely tailored to the needs of industry, trades, and warehousing. We offer you a broad range of counterbalance forklifts with various drive concepts and load capacity classes, so you can complete your projects on time and safely.

When deciding which forklift to rent, the operating environment plays the decisive role. Luibl Rental helps you find the most economical and technically sound solution for your specific needs.

Electric forklifts are the first choice for indoor use in warehouses or production facilities. They operate emission-free and with low noise, significantly improving workplace safety in enclosed spaces. Thanks to modern battery technology (lithium-ion or lead-acid), our electric forklifts achieve operating times that hold up even to intensive shift operations. A particular advantage at Luibl Rental: many of our electric models are equipped with non-marking tires (white tires) to prevent scuffing on light-colored industrial floors.

For tough outdoor use on construction sites or uneven terrain, we recommend renting diesel forklifts. These stand out for their enormous power reserves and high availability, since no time-consuming charging process is required. Our modern diesel forklifts are equipped with efficient particulate filters to minimize environmental impact. If you need to flexibly cover both indoor and outdoor areas, LPG forklifts are a powerful alternative that bridges the gap between drive types.

A critical factor in renting a forklift that is often underestimated is the relationship between load capacity and load center. The stated nominal capacity of a forklift (e.g., 2.5 tonnes) usually refers to a load center of 500 mm.

However, when you lift bulky goods, this center of gravity shifts forward, reducing the actual residual capacity. At Luibl Rental, you receive the corresponding load charts with every rental unit. Our experts advise you precisely on which model you need — for example, if you need to move 3 tonnes on a special pallet with a 1,200 mm load center distance. This technical depth protects you from accidents and planning errors.

To expand the range of applications for our forklifts, we offer a variety of attachments that increase your efficiency:

• Side shifters: Enable precise positioning of the load without having to re-maneuver the forklift itself – ideal in narrow rack aisles.

• Fork positioners: Hydraulically adjust the width of the fork tines to different pallet types.

• Load arms and crane hooks: Temporarily turn your forklift into a lifting device for suspended loads.

• Double pallet handlers: Double the throughput in the logistics center by picking up two pallets at once.

In a recent case study, Luibl Rental supported an industrial company with a machinery relocation. A heavy-duty forklift with a 12-tonne capacity was used for this project. The challenge was to position sensitive production units to the millimeter within a cramped existing hall.

Thanks to the combination of sensitive hydrostatic steering and expert advice from Luibl Rental, the project was completed within the tight time window without any downtime. Scenarios like this demonstrate that choosing the right rental equipment directly influences project success.

Every industry has its own requirements, which Luibl Rental is equipped to meet:

• Events & Trade Fairs: Compact forklifts with a small turning radius for quick setup and teardown in exhibition halls.

• Food Industry: Electric forklifts using bio-oils and meeting hygiene standards.

• Construction: All-wheel-drive, off-road-capable forklifts that operate safely on gravel and mud as well.

The safety of your employees is our top priority. Every forklift you rent from us undergoes a rigorous check before delivery. We guarantee that all units have a valid recurring inspection in accordance with VUV and meet current safety standards.

We also recommend the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and point out that a valid forklift operator's license is mandatory for operating a forklift on company premises in Switzerland. Luibl Rental stands for transparency: we document all maintenance intervals in full, so you can rely on the reliability of the equipment.
