Special fleet expansion with scissor lifts from 28 to 32 metres

Half a dozen tall scissors: Luibl Rental & Sales from Passau, the city of three rivers, has purchased 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 ordered the 28 metre rough-terrain scissor lifts both with electric drive and four-wheel steering and in a diesel version with a modern Hatz Stage V 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 in 2013 jointly by Karl Bauer junior and senior. The company has since grown considerably and, in addition to hundreds of conventional aerial work platform types, operates a large fleet of special equipment: 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 manage further growth, the company was able - "fortunately", as it says - to acquire the neighbouring freight forwarding site in Passau. From there, the rental machines are delivered throughout Europe with its own low-loader fleet.
