Spider lift rental - maximum reach on difficult ground

Spider lifts - also called tracked platforms or crawler platforms - are the right choice where wheels fail: on rough terrain, sensitive floors and in confined interiors. Luibl rents spider lifts from leading manufacturers such as CTE, Teupen, Hinowa and Leguan with working heights from 13 to 40 metres - delivered by low-loader from Passau throughout the Czech Republic.
What makes spider lifts special?
The tracked undercarriage spreads the machine's weight over a large contact area - minimal ground pressure, maximum protection for sensitive surfaces. The non-marking rubber tracks leave hardly any traces on parquet, marble or tiles with underfloor heating. Off-road, spider lifts handle gradients of up to 30 % and drive safely over mud, sand and gravel. Key technical data of our spider lifts:
- Working height: 13 m to 40 m
- Load capacity: 200 kg to 400 kg
- Outreach: up to 17 m
- Stowed travel width: from 78 cm - fits through standard doors
- Max. gradient: 30 %
- Drive: Bi-Energy (diesel/petrol + electric 230 V/battery)
- Upper structure slewing: 360 degrees continuous
Articulating vs. telescopic spider lifts: the right design for your job
- Articulating spider lifts (CTE TRACCESS series): articulated arm for overhead work over obstacles - galleries, pipelines, ceiling beams.
- Telescopic spider lifts (Teupen LEO series, up to 40 m): maximum outreach up to 17 m, fast positioning for facades and tree crown care.
Applications: when is a spider lift the first choice?
- Tree care and forestry: narrow models (from 78 cm) reach backyards and parks.
- Churches, museums and heritage sites: electric drive with no local emissions + non-marking tracks protect historic fabric.
- Industrial maintenance and facility management: precise manoeuvring in tight factory halls.
- Sites with difficult terrain: mud, sand, gravel and gradients up to 30 %.
- Shopping centres and sports halls: exhaust-free operation and low point loads.
- Signage and illuminated advertising: 360-degree slewing saves repositioning time.
Safety: briefing in line with Czech safety rules
Under applicable Czech safety rules, aerial work platforms may only be operated by instructed operators. At the start of the rental, your staff receive a professional briefing on operating the spider lift. For further qualifications, we recommend a certified aerial work platform course to IPAF standard.

FAQs on spider lifts
Which surfaces are spider lifts best suited for?
Spider lifts are the first choice for pressure-sensitive and uneven floors. They are ideal for lawns, parquet, marble, tiles with underfloor heating and outdoor terrain with mud, sand or gradients up to 30 %.
Do spider lifts fit through standard doors?
Yes. Many models have a stowed travel width of only 78 to 90 cm and pass easily through standard interior doors, garden gates and narrow industrial aisles.
What drive do the spider lifts have?
All rental machines have Bi-Energy drive: diesel/petrol for outdoor use, electric motor (230 V or battery) for indoor operation with no local emissions.
How does outrigger levelling work on uneven ground?
The four outriggers can be controlled independently and positioned asymmetrically. Ground slopes of up to 30 % and steps are safely compensated.
How far does Luibl deliver?
Luibl delivers by its own low-loader from Passau throughout the Czech Republic. The headquarters is in Passau; regular deliveries go to the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria and other European countries.
