Rent hybrid articulating boom lifts

Hybrid articulating boom lifts combine two drives in one machine: a combustion engine for travelling on rough terrain and an electric drive for working without local emissions in enclosed spaces. The term Bi-Energy is also commonly used. Luibl Rental rents hybrid articulating boom lifts with working heights of up to 49 metres - delivered by our own low-loader from Passau throughout the Czech Republic.

The benefit lies not in the technology itself, but in the fact that a project can manage with one machine instead of two. Precisely where outdoor and indoor work follow one another, this saves an entire transport operation.

For purely indoor use, the electric articulating boom lift is the more economical choice; for continuous outdoor work, the diesel version. Hybrid pays off in four situations:

• Switching between outdoors and indoors within the same project - for example a facade followed by assembly in the hall, without changing the machine.
• Sites without a reliable power supply - the combustion engine recharges the battery, while electric operation remains available.
• Emission- or noise-sensitive environments - city centres, hospitals, food businesses, heritage conservation. In electric mode the machine works without local emissions and much more quietly.
• Long working days - where a purely battery-powered machine would reach its runtime limit, the second drive bridges the gap.

In the hybrid segment we offer, among others, the Niftylift HR 21 Hybrid and HR 28 Hybrid as well as the Genie Z60-37FE. These series cover the range from around 20 metres up to the top class and are designed for alternating operation - four-wheel drive and oscillating axles for rough terrain, non-marking tyres for sensitive floors.

Which machine is the right fit depends less on the drive than on working height, outreach and basket load. The more weight in the basket, the lower the permissible outreach - so tell us the working point, set-up position and load.

Switching between drives is straightforward for the operator, but you should plan for two points:

• Charging time. Electric operation is only available while the battery is charged. For longer indoor phases, plan for recharging or alternating operation.
• Dead weight. Two drive trains mean more mass than a purely electric machine. Check the permissible point load at the set-up location and the load-bearing capacity of floors and access routes in advance.

As with every aerial work platform, safe operation requires that operators are instructed in line with applicable Czech safety rules and CSN EN standards, and personal fall protection equipment is used on the platform (Government Regulation No. 362/2005 Coll.). Every machine leaves our rental fleet with a valid periodic inspection under Government Regulation No. 378/2001 Coll. and complete documentation.

The rental price depends on the same factors as for the other designs: working height, outreach, rental period and transport. Hybrid machines are usually priced above comparable electric and diesel versions because they have two drive trains. They pay off where they replace a second machine or an additional transport - the higher daily rate is then offset by a delivery saved.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates are tiered. Delivery and collection are shown separately and depend on the distance from Passau, transport weight and access. Included are the inspected machine, maintenance and periodic inspections during the rental period, and technical advice.
