Special fleet expansion: scissor lifts from 28 to 32 metres

Half a dozen high scissors: Luibl Rental & Sales from the three-rivers city of Passau has bought a larger package of scissor lifts from the German manufacturer HAB. It comprises a total of six high-rack 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 fitted with non-marking tyres. 'The 28 and 32 metre high-rack scissors have four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering for maximum manoeuvrability in narrow high-bay warehouses,' explains Andreas Becker, Sales Manager at HAB Arbeitsbuehnen.

Luibl has ordered the 28 metre rough-terrain 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 machines of the package to be delivered, two 28 metre electric high-rack scissor lifts, have already arrived. Luibl Rental & Sales was founded jointly by Karl Bauer Junior and Senior in 2013. Since then the company has grown strongly and, in addition to hundreds of conventional aerial work platform types, operates a large fleet of special equipment, with scissor lifts in electric and diesel versions up to 34 metres working height, telescopic boom lifts up to 57 metres, roto telehandlers up to 35 metres and forklifts up to 16 tonnes. To sustain further growth, the company was able - 'fortunately', as it says - to acquire the neighbouring site of a haulage company in Passau. With its own low-loader fleet, the rental machines are delivered throughout Europe.
