Scissor lift rental – from the 6-metre electric scissor lift to the 34-metre rough-terrain machine

Anyone who wants to move material and people vertically needs a scissor lift that suits the task – not one that only fits 'somehow'. At Luibl Rental & Sales you rent scissor lifts from a rental fleet that ranges from the narrow electric scissor lift for standard doors to the 34-metre rough-terrain machine with 1,000 kg load capacity. Whether you search for scissor lift, scissor platform or scissor-type aerial work platform – it is always the same design: an aerial work platform to NEN-EN 280 that raises its platform purely vertically via a scissor mechanism. Delivery throughout the Netherlands – delivered by low-loader to your site. Whether a scissor lift or another design suits your job is shown in the comparison Aerial work platform rental – all types at a glance; you will find the entire rental fleet under Aerial work platform rental.

When renting scissor lifts, the selection follows three clear axes: drive (electric, diesel, bi-energy, hybrid), design (standard or high-rack scissor) and terrain capability (hall floor or shell construction). If you know these three axes, you make the right choice of machine in 90 % of cases.

Electric scissor lifts for halls, interior fit-out and logistics

Electric scissor lifts are the standard solution for everything that happens under a roof: warehouse construction, hall renovation, ventilation installation, fire alarm systems, electrical installation, drywall construction, exhibition construction. The rental fleet covers working heights from 6.30 m to 33.00 m.

• Low noise and no local emissions thanks to pure battery operation – suitable for interiors, food businesses and turnkey halls

• Non-marking tyres on almost all models – no marks on industrial and hall floors

• Narrow models from 0.76 m width (e.g. KB Lift S-78N, Genie GS 1432m E-Drive) – fit through standard doors

• Load capacities from 227 kg to 1,000 kg

• Manufacturers available in the rental fleet: Magni, Holland Lift, HAB, Genie, KB Lift, PB

Diesel scissor lifts for shell construction, facades and outdoor sites

Diesel scissor lifts are designed for unpaved ground, shell construction sites and facade work. Where an electric machine reaches its limits in terms of reach or terrain capability, the diesel scissor lift takes over.

• Four-wheel drive (4x4) and oscillating axle – handle slopes and uneven terrain

• Hydraulic outriggers – level the machine even on sloping ground

• Spacious platforms with extension decks – working areas from 7 to more than 9 metres in length on the top models

• Load capacities up to 1,000 kg (Magni DS3225RT, Holland Lift Megastar G320, Liftlux 260-25)

• Working heights up to 34 m (Holland Lift Megastar G320: 33.70 m, Magni DS3225RT: 32 m)

High-rack scissor lifts for logistics centres

High-rack scissor lifts are the special class for modern logistics centres in which conventional machines are either too wide or too low. They combine extreme working height with a narrow width and – depending on the model – the ability to drive at full working height.

• Working heights from 18.50 m to 33.00 m for the top racking levels

• Suitable for narrow aisles – matched to the aisle widths of common high-bay warehouses

• Load capacities of 500 to 1,000 kg for stocktaking, maintenance, sprinkler installation and warehouse conversion

• Manufacturers in the rental fleet: Holland Lift, HAB, PB, Magni

• Top model: Holland Lift HL330_E14_4WDS with 33 m working height

Hybrid and bi-energy scissor lifts for alternating use

Hybrid scissor lifts are the answer to projects that alternate between outdoor sites and halls over time. A diesel unit takes the machine across unpaved ground to the location and charges independently of the mains; indoors, it switches to pure battery operation.

• Working heights from 11.75 m to 27.20 m, load capacities from 363 kg to 1,000 kg

• Four-wheel drive – all-terrain capable on gravel, topsoil and slopes

• No machine change when operating conditions change: one transport, one briefing

• Manufacturers in the rental fleet: Holland Lift, Genie, PB

• Top model: Holland Lift M250HYL25 Combistar 4WD with 27.20 m working height and 1,000 kg load capacity

Instead of a long list of models, a short check of your own requirements helps. These five points are most often decisive in our advice:

1. Working height: The working height is around 2 metres above the platform height – that is the operator's reach. If you work at a height of 12 m, you need a machine with a platform height of 10 m.

2. Load capacity on the platform: People, tools and material together. For two fitters plus tools, 350 to 450 kg is realistic; for sprinkler installation, ventilation installation or drywall construction, more like 600 to 1,000 kg.

3. Ground: Smooth hall floor = electric with non-marking tyres. Shell construction, gravel, sloping terrain = diesel four-wheel-drive version.

4. Width and clearance height: Do doors, gates or lifts have to be passed through? The narrowest models in the fleet are less than 0.77 m wide.

5. Drive and power availability: On sites without comprehensive power supply, bi-energy or hybrid machines make sense because they can switch between diesel and electric operation.

If in doubt, it is worth calling our rental advisers – the right choice of equipment usually saves more in total than the difference in rental price between individual classes.

Electric (battery): Indoors, logistics, commercial halls, sensitive environments. Low noise, no local emissions, charging from a standard 230 V socket. Range limited to the working day on a full charge.

Diesel: Shell construction, outdoor sites, facade work, industrial sites. Highest load capacity and terrain values. Stage V engines on current models.

Bi-energy / hybrid: Long outdoor jobs without a power connection, later indoor operation. Diesel for travelling, electric for working without local emissions in the hall. Useful on sites with changing conditions. → View all hybrid scissor lifts

Every scissor lift in the Luibl Rental fleet undergoes the periodic inspection of work equipment under the Working Conditions Decree and is checked by our workshop staff before each delivery. Standard equipment includes: tilt alarm, overload protection (blocks lifting when the rated load is exceeded), a mechanical emergency lowering system and emergency lowering from the ground on both sides.

For safe operation: the operator is instructed in line with applicable Dutch health and safety rules. Personal protective equipment against falls is part of work on the platform at height under the Working Conditions Decree. At handover, the operator receives a briefing from us on site. Throughout the rental period, you can request a service technician on demand.

Having its own low-loader fleet is not standard in the industry but a difference in service. It ensures that scissor lifts arrive at the location at the agreed time and without a chain of subcontractors.

• Delivery throughout the Netherlands

• Own low-loader fleet – no change of haulier, plannable delivery

• Long-term rental with individual conditions, periodic inspection of work equipment under the Working Conditions Decree and maintenance during the rental period

• Combined offers for large construction sites with several machines (e.g. scissor lift plus telehandler plus forklift)

The rental price of a scissor lift depends on five factors. If you clarify them in advance, you get a comparable quote instead of a price range.

• Working height and design: There are several price classes between a 6 m electric scissor lift for interior fit-out and a 34 m rough-terrain machine. High-rack scissor lifts with a narrow width form a separate segment.
• Drive: Electric scissor lifts for smooth floors, diesel four-wheel-drive machines for unpaved ground and hybrids with both operating modes differ significantly in rate.
• Load capacity and platform size: Extension decks and higher basket loads are reflected in the rental price.
• Rental period: Daily, weekly and monthly rates are staggered; from several months, long-term rental conditions apply with periodic inspection and maintenance during the rental period.
• Transport: Delivery and collection by low-loader to your site are shown separately and depend on the location, transport weight and access.

The rental price includes the inspected machine with valid periodic inspection, maintenance and periodic inspections during the rental period, as well as technical advice on choosing the equipment. Tell us the working height, ground conditions, load capacity, rental period and location – and you will receive an itemised quote including transport.
