Expansion of the specialist-equipment fleet: scissor lifts from 28 to 32 metres

Half a dozen tall scissors: Luibl Rental & Sales from the three-rivers city of Passau has purchased a larger scissor-lift package from the German manufacturer HAB. It comprises a total of six high-bay and rough-terrain scissor lifts with working heights between 28 and 32 metres. To leave no marks in industrial buildings and large plants, all machines are equipped with non-marking tyres. „The 28- and 32-metre high-bay scissors are equipped with four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering for the greatest possible manoeuvrability in narrow high-bay warehouses,“ explains Andreas Becker, sales manager at HAB Arbeitsbühnen.

Luibl ordered the rough-terrain 28-metre scissor lifts both with electric drive and four-wheel steering and in the diesel version with a modern Stage V Hatz engine. Delivery will take place next year. The first two delivered units of the package – two 28-metre electric high-bay scissor lifts – have already arrived. Luibl Rental & Sales was founded in 2013 by Karl Bauer Junior and Senior together. The company has since grown strongly and, in addition to hundreds of conventional work platform types, operates a large fleet of specialist equipment with scissor lifts in electric and diesel versions up to 34 metres working height, telescopic boom lifts up to 57 metres, rotating telehandlers up to 35 metres and forklifts up to 16 tonnes. To be able to cope with further growth, the company was able – „fortunately“, as it says – to acquire the neighbouring haulage site in Passau. From there, the rental machines are delivered throughout Europe with its own low-loader fleet.
