LPG forklift rental - the powerful hybrid solution for hall and yard

Diesel forklifts are unbeatable outdoors, electric forklifts indoors. Anyone who needs both in one machine - without charging cycles, without range anxiety, without a second vehicle - opts for 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 application profile. Three strengths make the difference:

• Fast readiness 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.

• Hall 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. With equivalent load capacity, an LPG forklift is often lighter than an electric counterpart with a heavy battery - this reduces floor pressure and allows use on more sensitive surfaces.

Beverage and food industry

Beverage wholesale, breweries, food logistics: here goods are constantly moved between hall, 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 thanks to the fast cylinder change compared with the charging cycles of electric forklifts. The decisive factor: no unproductive charging break in the middle of peak utilisation.

Production plants with mixed work zones

Anyone with goods receiving outdoors but production and order picking in the hall needs a machine that can easily serve both zones. LPG forklifts meet this profile without switching drives and without compromising on performance. Typical sectors: automotive suppliers, packaging industry, timber and furniture production.

Intensive multi-shift use without charging infrastructure

Seasonal peaks, extra 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 from a few weeks to long-term rentals over several months.

Event logistics and trade fair construction

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

Load capacities from 1.8 to 7 tonnes

Three load capacity classes cover the broad application profile:

• 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. Upper 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 the desired maximum lift height:

• Standard mast for regular use without clearance restrictions

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

• Triplex mast with three stages and initial free lift - essential for unloading containers, loading trucks under low doors or working on mezzanine floors

Application 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 where clearance height is limited.

Attachments ex works or on request

Available as standard:

• Side shift - 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 tipper, bin emptier)

• Full cab with heating and air conditioning

• Operator overhead guard with windscreen and wiper

For long-term rentals in particular, an individual configuration pays off - we tailor the equipment to your application 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, unburned hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides to a level that permits indoor use - provided the workplace is adequately ventilated (observe applicable Czech safety rules). Modern rental machines comply with the current emission standards of their engine class. Details on the specific model are provided on request in the data sheet.

Handling LPG cylinders is clearly regulated. Luibl ensures that every rental machine meets the requirements:

• Periodic inspection of the gas system in line with applicable Czech safety rules and CSN EN standards by qualified experts. Documentation is supplied with every machine.

• Periodic inspection under Government Regulation No. 378/2001 Coll. with a current inspection sticker

• Secure cylinder holder with inspected mounting and shut-off device

• Operator instruction on handling the gas cylinder is provided by the hirer - we give an operator briefing on handover

Operator qualification: Operation requires the operator qualification specified by applicable Czech safety rules - written authorisation, medical fitness and theoretical and practical training, the classic forklift operator licence. For handling gas cylinders, we additionally recommend instruction on protection against the hazards of LPG.
