Luibl Rental rents out counterbalance forklifts from 1.5 to 18 t load capacity – with electric, diesel and gas drives, available at short notice or long term. The fleet includes inspected series machines from leading manufacturers: from the compact electric three-wheel forklift for intralogistics to the Kalmar DCG 180-6T with 18 t load capacity for heavy-duty applications in industry and port logistics. Our own low-loader fleet delivers heavy counterbalance forklifts directly to your location – throughout the Netherlands and as scheduled.

Counterbalance forklift fleet at a glance: 1.5 to 18 tonnes

The Luibl fleet covers the full load capacity range and includes electric, diesel and gas drives in all common lift height classes.

1.5 to 2 tonnes – electric forklifts for warehousing and production Available models: Hyundai 15BT-9 (5.5 m lift height), Hyundai 18BT-9 (5.5 m), EP CPD18TV8 (up to 6 m), EP EFL181 four-wheel (4.8 m). This class is suitable for sensitive hall floors, narrow aisles and indoor areas without local emissions.

2 to 5 tonnes – electric, diesel and gas for medium loads Hyundai 30D-9 (diesel, 4.7 m), Doosan D30G-Plus (diesel, 5 m), EP EFL302 Triplex (electric, 4.8 m), Hyundai 30BH-9 (electric, 6 m), Manitou MI 35 (diesel, up to 6 m), EP EFL352 (electric, up to 6 m), Hyundai 40L-7A (gas, 6.03 m). This class covers construction, logistics, production and retail alike.

5 to 10 tonnes – electric and diesel for heavy loads Hyundai 50B-9 (electric, 5.9 m), Manitou MI 50 Triplex (diesel, 5 m), Hyundai 50DA-9 (diesel, 5.98 m), Manitou MI 70 Triplex (diesel, 6 m), Hyundai 70L-7A (gas, 5.06 m), Kalmar ECF 80-9 (electric, 8 t, 3.45 m), Hyundai 80D-9 (diesel, 8 t, 6 m), Manitou MI 100 D (diesel, 10 t, 6 m). For outdoor storage, ports, the timber industry and heavy assembly.

10 to 18 tonnes – industrial weights for special applications EP EFL 1002 (electric, 10 t, 5 m), Hyundai 160D-9 (diesel, 16 t, 4.52 m), Kalmar DCG 180-6T (diesel, 18 t, 4.5 m). For container logistics, scrap trading, steel processing and industrial plants.

Drive types compared: electric, diesel or gas?

Electric forklifts produce no local emissions, are quiet and gentle on floors – the first choice for indoor logistics, food production, cold stores and businesses with emission requirements. Available in the Luibl fleet from 1.5 to 10 t, lift heights up to 6 m.

Diesel forklifts are powerful and robust and suitable for all outdoor applications – unaffected by weather and varying ground conditions. From 3 to 18 t in the fleet. The standard choice for construction sites, ports, timber yards and scrap trading.

Gas forklifts combine flexibility for indoor and outdoor use with high lifting capacity. The Hyundai 40L-7A (4 t, 6.03 m lift height) and the Hyundai 70L-7A (7 t) are typical examples for logistics centres and wholesale without strict indoor emission requirements.

Renting a forklift instead of buying – when it pays off

Renting a counterbalance forklift pays off when demand is project-related or seasonal (trade fairs, relocation, harvest campaign), load capacity requirements vary or capacity peaks need to be bridged at short notice. All Luibl rental machines are handed over serviced and inspected – maintenance and repair risks remain with the rental company.

Compared with buying, there is no capital tied up. The rental company bears the investment risk from changing requirements or technical developments.

Your benefits with Luibl Rental

  • Leading manufacturers: Hyundai, Manitou, Kalmar, EP Equipment, Doosan – type-approved series machines with secured spare parts supply

  • Short-term and long-term rental: daily, weekly and monthly rental depending on project duration

Regulations and safety: who may operate a forklift?

Operating forklifts and other industrial trucks in the Netherlands requires demonstrable competence of the forklift operator (to be ensured by the employer). The legal basis is the Dutch occupational health and safety legislation (Working Conditions Act and Working Conditions Decree), in particular the Working Conditions Decree, Chapter 7 (work equipment). Only authorised and instructed persons may operate a forklift.

For heavy-duty machines from 10 t – such as the Hyundai 160D-9 or the Kalmar DCG 180-6T – ground bearing capacity, safety distances and, where applicable, static loads on floors and bridges must be checked separately.

Note: for use outside the Netherlands, different national regulations may apply. We recommend checking the relevant country-specific requirements in advance.

FAQ: rental of forklifts up to 18 tonnes

chevronDown

What does it cost to rent a forklift?

Rental costs vary by load capacity, drive type, rental period and delivery location. Light electric forklifts (1.5-3 t) are priced below heavy-duty diesel forklifts in the 16-18 t range. Luibl Rental prepares an individual quote on request - non-binding and prompt.

What load capacity do I need for my job?

As a guideline: the rated load of the forklift should be 20-30 % above the actual maximum weight. For Euro pallets up to 1,500 kg, a 2 t model is sufficient. For steel bundles, precast concrete elements or container loads, models up to 18 t are available.

Who is allowed to drive a forklift?

Only persons with demonstrable competence as a forklift operator may drive forklifts; the employer must ensure this competence. Training covers theoretical and practical instruction.

What is the difference between counterbalance forklifts and rough-terrain forklifts?

Counterbalance forklifts are designed for level to lightly paved surfaces - warehouses, production, paved outdoor areas. For construction sites, unpaved areas or very uneven ground, a rough-terrain forklift with higher ground clearance and four-wheel drive is recommended.

How quickly can a counterbalance forklift be delivered?

Many machines are available at short notice, with delivery throughout the Netherlands. Delivery times depend on model, capacity class and delivery location – enquiries are processed as promptly as possible.
