Project-specific needs: The machine is required for a specific project—such as assembling a production line, delivering and installing a heavy-duty press, or temporarily expanding handling capacity. Rental periods range from one week to several months.

Utilization below the threshold: As a rule of thumb, renting is more cost-effective than ownership when usage is below 1,500 operating hours per year. In the 1,500–2,500 hour range, the outcome depends on factors such as capital commitment, maintenance arrangements, and residual value risk.

Bridging equipment downtime: If your own equipment breaks down while orders are in progress, short-notice rental availability is crucial. Luibl Rental maintains the DCG250 in its rental fleet; it can be released on short notice upon request.

No in-house maintenance infrastructure: A 25-ton heavy-duty forklift requires qualified service technicians and specialized tools. By renting, companies without this infrastructure shift the maintenance risk to the rental provider.

Luibl Rental Service: What is included
In-house low-loader logistics: The DCG250 weighs over 35 tons when unladen. Transport requires a heavy-duty low-loader and the appropriate permits. Luibl Rental handles transport, permits, and scheduling as a single-source provider.

DGUV inspection per FEM 4.004: Every rental unit undergoes inspection in accordance with DGUV Regulation 68 and FEM 4.004 standards before release. The inspection sticker is affixed to the machine. For long-term rentals exceeding 12 months, the mandatory safety inspection (UVV) is renewed during the rental period.

On-site technical support: In the event of technical malfunctions or operational queries, Luibl Rental provides service technicians directly at the job site. On-site briefing upon handover: Upon request, Luibl Rental offers a personal briefing when the DCG250 is handed over, covering the load chart, operating controls, safety features, and triplex mast operation.

Delivery area: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic, Italy, and Hungary – delivery within a few business days from Southern Germany.

If you do not require a 25-ton model or can manage with a lower load capacity, Luibl Rental offers suitable alternatives:

The Kalmar DCG 180-6T is the next step down – featuring a 16-ton load capacity, a 4,500 mm lifting height, and compact dimensions. For operations where the 25-ton limit is occasionally exceeded, we recommend comparing the load charts of both machines before making a decision.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about renting the Kalmar DCG250
What type of mast does the triplex version of the Kalmar DCG250 have?
The DCG250’s triplex mast achieves a maximum lifting height of 4,660 mm with a collapsed height of 2,735 mm. It offers a free lift of 1,550 mm. This allows loads to be raised before the outer mast section extends—a crucial feature for operations under warehouse roofs or when passing through doorways.

What engine does the Kalmar DCG250 have?
According to the data sheet, the Kalmar DCG250 is equipped with a Cummins QSB6.7 turbo-intercooled diesel engine. The engine output is 168 kW at 2,200 rpm. It complies with EU Stage V / USA EPA Tier 4(f) emission standards.

Rent the Kalmar DCG330 – 33-tonne heavy-duty forklift with 4,625 mm triplex mast
The Kalmar DCG330 is one of the most powerful diesel heavy-duty forklifts in the 33-tonne class. Equipped with a triplex mast (4,625 mm lifting height), the DCG330 achieves lifting heights that are not possible with a standard duplex mast—a crucial advantage for multi-level storage, second-row container stacking, and high-bay warehouse operations. Luibl Rental offers the Kalmar DCG330 with triplex mast for short-term rental; the unit is DGUV-certified and includes Europe-wide low-loader transport.

Triplex Mast 4625 mm: What this means for your operations
The difference between a duplex and a triplex mast goes beyond just the lift height specification. The triplex mast features three independently extending mast segments, offering specific operational advantages:

Higher stacking: With a lift height of 4,625 mm, loads can be stacked three to four levels high—whereas a duplex mast allows for only two levels. Relevant for steel coil storage, double-row container stacking, and high-bay warehousing. Free lift enables low entry heights: The integrated free lift raises the forks to free-lift height without extending the mast. This allows for lifting operations inside halls where the DCG330 can just barely fit, without the mast exceeding the ceiling height.
Stable load arc: The three-stage kinematics distribute lifting forces more evenly than a two-stage duplex mast—a safety-critical factor when handling 33-tonne loads at full lift height.
Industry-specific applications
Steel trading and metal processing
The DCG330 moves steel coils, sheet metal stacks, steel plates, and long profiles with a rated capacity of 33 tonnes. The load chart is designed for a reduced load center distance. The rated capacity remains fully available for typical coil dimensions up to 3,000 mm in length.

Precast concrete and construction materials industry
Transport of foundations, wall and ceiling elements, large paving stones, and block steps within plant premises and on construction sites. For outdoor areas with soft ground, a ground-bearing capacity test is recommended prior to operation (DCG330 service weight approx. 41.5 tonnes).

Container handling and port hinterland logistics
The DCG330 is the classic solution for handling loaded 20' containers (gross mass up to 24 t) and heavy 40' flat-rack loads. The triplex mast enables stacking up to two high.

Mechanical engineering and heavy industry
In-plant transport of press tools, machine frames, molds, and gearbox assemblies. Fully automatic transmission control reduces operator strain during multi-shift operations.

Recycling and waste management
Handling of scrap bundles, bales, and heterogeneous bulk materials. The robust design of the DCG330—featuring a Stage V engine with a particulate filter and low-maintenance hydraulics—makes it suitable for sites with high dust levels.
