LPG forklift rental - the powerful all-rounder for indoor and yard use

Diesel forklifts are unbeatable outdoors, electric forklifts indoors. If you need both in one machine - without charging cycles, without range anxiety and without a second vehicle - choose an LPG forklift. At Luibl Rental you can rent LPG forklifts with load capacities of 1.8 to 7 tonnes and lift heights of over 6 metres. A cylinder change takes less than two minutes and brings the machine straight back to full operation - the decisive advantage in multi-shift use.

An LPG forklift is not a compromise - it is the technically correct answer to a specific operating profile. Three strengths make the difference:

• Rapid availability without charging cycles. A cylinder change takes less than two minutes. No breaks, no second forklift to bridge the gap, no charging infrastructure at the job site. In three-shift operation this is the decisive productivity lever.

• Indoor and yard with one machine. Thanks to LPG combustion and a three-way catalytic converter, emissions remain low enough for use in ventilated halls - with full performance in the yard at the same time. One forklift covers both zones.

• High power density at moderate weight. For the same load capacity, an LPG forklift is often lighter than an electric counterpart with a heavy battery - this reduces ground pressure and allows use on more sensitive surfaces.

Beverage and food industry

Beverage wholesale, breweries, food logistics: here there is constant movement between hall, loading ramp and yard - often in multi-shift operation, often at a high handling pace. In a project for a beverage wholesaler, LPG forklifts noticeably reduced downtime compared with the charging cycles of electric forklifts thanks to the fast cylinder change. The decisive factor: no unproductive charging break in the middle of peak demand.

Production plants with mixed work zones

If your goods receiving is outdoors but production and order picking are in the hall, you need a machine that can easily serve both zones. LPG forklifts meet this profile without changing drive and without compromising on performance. Typical sectors: automotive suppliers, packaging industry, wood and furniture production.

Intensive multi-shift operation without charging infrastructure

Seasonal peaks, additional shifts, project work on temporary sites: if there is no powerful charging infrastructure at the job site or simply no time for charging cycles, LPG is the plannable solution. Luibl also delivers at short notice for campaign deployments ranging from a few weeks to long-term rentals of several months.

Event logistics and trade fair set-up

Trade fair set-up, open-air events, indoor events: flexible zones, changing loads, often no permanent electrical infrastructure. The LPG forklift goes into operation without preparation and stays mobile.

Load capacities from 1.8 to 7 tonnes

Three capacity classes cover the broad range of applications:

• 1.8 tonnes (Hyundai 18L-7M) - 5.04 m lift height. Compact class for pallet handling, beverage trade and specialist retail.

• 4 tonnes (Hyundai 40L-7A) - 6.03 m lift height. Mid-range segment for industrial handling, heavy containers and wholesale.

• 7 tonnes (Hyundai 70L-7A) - 5.06 m lift height. Top class for mechanical engineering suppliers, the timber industry and steel trading.

Mast types - standard, duplex and triplex

The right mast depends on the hall door height, ceiling height and required maximum lift height:

• Standard mast for regular use without clearance restrictions

• Duplex mast two-stage, compact overall height, standard for many warehouses

• Triplex mast three-stage with initial free lift - a must for container unloading, truck loading under low doors or work on a mezzanine floor

Operating tip: the initial free lift determines whether you can raise the load without the mast extending upwards. This is critical at container loading doors or with restricted clearance heights.

Attachments ex works or on request

Available as standard:

• Sideshift - for precise positioning of pallets

• Fork positioner - hydraulic, for different pallet widths without manual repositioning

Configurable on request:

• Fork extensions for longer loads

• Rotators (e.g. paper roll tippers, bin tippers)

• Full cab with heating and air conditioning

• Overhead guard with windscreen and wiper

Individual configuration is particularly worthwhile for long-term rentals - we tailor the equipment to your operating profile.

Technology - three-way catalytic converter and LPG combustion

LPG forklifts burn liquefied petroleum gas (LPG, usually a propane-butane mixture) in a spark-ignition engine. The three-way catalytic converter reduces carbon monoxide, unburnt hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides to a level that permits indoor use - provided the workplace is adequately ventilated (in line with applicable Dutch health and safety rules). Modern rental machines comply with the current emission standards of the respective engine class. Details on the specific model are available on request in the data sheet.

Handling LPG cylinders is subject to clear rules. Luibl ensures that every rental machine meets the requirements:

• Inspection of the LPG system in line with applicable Dutch health and safety rules by qualified experts. The documentation is supplied with every rental machine.

• Periodic inspection of work equipment under the Working Conditions Decree with a current inspection sticker

• Secure cylinder holder with tested mounting and shut-off valve

• Operator instruction on handling the gas cylinder - Luibl provides an operator briefing on the rented machine on handover

Operator qualification: Operation requires the demonstrable competence of the forklift operator (to be ensured by the employer). Handling the gas cylinders themselves also requires instruction in line with applicable Dutch health and safety rules.
