Hire aerial work platforms in Lucerne – scissor lifts, telescopic & trailer platforms

Lucerne combines old-town charm, a growing industrial location and one of the liveliest tourism and trade-fair regions in Central Switzerland — and therefore places particular demands on aerial work platforms. Luibl delivers certified rental equipment via its own low-loader fleet to the city of Lucerne and the entire canton: from the narrow alley behind the Kapellbrücke area to the industrial hall in Emmen or the hotel construction on the lakeside promenade. All equipment meets SUVA requirements and is inspected for commercial use.

Available aerial work platform types in Lucerne

The range covers all common platform types — adapted to the topographical and structural requirements of the Central Switzerland region:

Scissor lifts – electric and diesel

Electric scissor lifts are the standard solution for indoor hall work in Lucerne's hotels, exhibition buildings and commercial properties — emission-free, gentle on hall floors and easy to manoeuvre. Diesel models are used on open construction sites, paved outdoor surfaces and in industrial premises in Emmen and Ebikon. Working heights from 6 m to over 18 m, load capacities up to 450 kg. In stock: Genie, Manitou.

Telescopic and articulated boom lifts

Telescopic boom lifts provide a large reach in confined spaces — ideal for façade work on historic properties in Lucerne's old town, work on bridge undersides or near railway installations. Articulated boom lifts overcome obstacles and reach set-back positions where fixed equipment fails. Working heights up to 43 m available.

Trailer platforms

For trade businesses, façade painters and building services technicians, trailer platforms are the cost-effective choice: no category C driving licence required, quick to set up, transportable without a special vehicle. Working heights up to 16 m.

Practical example: hotel façade on the lakeside promenade

A Lucerne façade company needed an articulated boom lift with a 28 m working height to renovate a lakeside hotel — on a surface with a partly paved lakeside path and little room for outriggers. Luibl delivered a suitable model within 48 hours, including equipment instruction and technical documentation for the SUVA record. The hire ran over three weeks at the weekly rate.

Occupational safety – SUVA-compliant equipment for Lucerne

All aerial work platforms in the Luibl rental fleet are serviced and inspected in accordance with the applicable Swiss occupational safety regulations. The equipment meets the requirements of SUVA (the Swiss National Accident Insurance Fund) as well as the European Machinery Directive. For work at heights above 3 m, special regulations under Art. 8 VUV apply in Switzerland. Luibl provides the necessary technical documentation on request; equipment instruction by trained personnel is available.
