Rent Aerial Work Platforms and Forklifts in Zurich

Zurich is Switzerland's economic and financial centre. The combination of the services sector, the financial hub, and the logistics turntable around Zurich Airport in Kloten creates consistently high demand for aerial work platforms, forklifts, and telehandlers. Companies that need to respond flexibly to customer projects require a rental partner with reliable availability and short delivery times. Luibl Rental supplies this equipment across Europe – with its own low-loader fleet delivering directly to Zurich and the surrounding region.

Zurich and its surrounding municipalities offer a wide range of applications for rental equipment:

• Zurich West: The former industrial district around Hardbrücke is now home to numerous office and commercial buildings – ongoing facade and renovation work requires articulating boom lifts with a large working height.

• City Centre and Financial District: Construction and renovation work on bank and commercial buildings along Bahnhofstrasse requires compact, manoeuvrable work platforms for use in confined spaces.

• Airport Region Kloten and Dübendorf: Extensive logistics and warehouse areas have been established around Zurich Airport, requiring powerful forklifts and narrow-aisle scissor lifts for high-bay racking.

• Regensdorf, Dietikon, Schlieren, and Urdorf: The commercial and industrial areas in the Limmat Valley are among the most important locations for construction and logistics companies in the greater Zurich area.

• Wohlen and the wider region: We also deliver reliably to construction sites and business locations throughout the canton, beyond the core city.

Our rental fleet covers all common types of aerial work platforms for indoor and outdoor use in Zurich and the surrounding area:

• Articulating boom lifts (diesel, electric): Models such as the Manitou 170 AETJ-L with a working height of 16.90m are suitable for facade work in Zurich West and on confined inner-city construction sites.

• Scissor lifts (electric): Models such as the Genie GS 4047 with a working height of 13.70m are ideal for use in logistics centres around Kloten and in high-bay warehouses. Electric drive is particularly suitable for emission-sensitive indoor areas.

• Telescopic boom lifts and narrow-aisle scissor lifts: For maintenance work in warehouses and on uneven terrain in the Limmat Valley, including narrow-aisle and high-bay versions for use between tight rows of racking.

• Truck-mounted platforms: Quickly mobilised for short-notice maintenance work throughout the greater Zurich area.

All models come from leading manufacturers such as Manitou, Genie, Merlo, and Magni.

For warehouse, industrial, and construction applications in Zurich, we rent out powerful forklifts and telehandlers:

• Forklifts: Diesel, electric, and all-terrain forklifts for logistics areas around Kloten and Dübendorf as well as warehouse operations throughout the greater Zurich area.

• Telehandlers: Models such as the Merlo P.120.10 HM with a 12,000kg lifting capacity and the Magni RTH 5.21 SH with a lifting height of 20.80m offer great reach even in confined conditions – versatile for use on construction sites, in industry, and in agriculture.

Both short-term and long-term rental are available. For multi-machine requirements, we put together a tailored combined offer for your construction project in Zurich.

Our rental range includes models from several well-known manufacturers – including Manitou, Merlo, Magni, and Genie – covering a broad spectrum of working heights, load capacity classes, and drive types. Many of our aerial work platforms and telehandlers are equipped with heating and air conditioning, enabling year-round use even in changing weather conditions. Through our network of over 200 locations, we can generally respond promptly to short-notice requests for the greater Zurich area.

A key advantage of Luibl Rental: we operate our own low-loader fleet for transporting your rental machines – including deliveries to Zurich as well as municipalities such as Regensdorf, Schlieren, Urdorf, Dietikon, Kloten, Dübendorf, and Wohlen. This guarantees predictable delivery times, direct points of contact, and a smooth process from request to return. With over 200 locations in our network, we are also reliably set up for short-notice deployments in the greater Zurich area.

In Switzerland, Art. 8 of the Ordinance on the Prevention of Accidents (VUV) requires employers to provide sufficient instruction to operating personnel on the safe use of aerial work platforms. SUVA provides supplementary guidelines and training recommendations on this topic. Luibl Rental recommends verifying that personnel deployed in Zurich have valid instruction and qualification before every use. Note: The specific requirements under VUV Art. 8 and the SUVA guidelines should be reviewed legally on a case-by-case basis, particularly for cross-border deployments involving personnel from abroad.
