Drive types compared: electric, diesel or LPG?
Electric forklifts produce no local emissions, are quiet and gentle on floors - the first choice for warehouse logistics, food production, cold stores and businesses with emission restrictions. Available in the Luibl fleet from 1.5 to 10 t, with lift heights up to 6 m.
Diesel forklifts are powerful and robust, suitable for all outdoor applications - unaffected by weather and varying ground conditions. From 3 to 18 t in the fleet. The standard choice for sites, ports, timber yards and scrap trading.
LPG forklifts combine flexibility for indoor and outdoor use with high lifting capacity. The Hyundai 40L-7A (4 t, 6.03 m lift height) and the Hyundai 70L-7A (7 t) are typical examples for logistics centres and wholesale without strict indoor emission restrictions.
Renting a forklift instead of buying - when it pays off
Renting a counterbalance forklift pays off when demand is project-based or seasonal (trade fairs, relocations, harvest campaigns), load capacity requirements vary, or capacity peaks need to be bridged at short notice. All Luibl rental machines are handed over serviced and inspected - maintenance and repair risks remain with the rental company.
Compared with buying, no capital is tied up. The investment risk from changing requirements or technical developments is borne by the rental company.

Regulations and safety: who may operate a forklift?
Operating industrial trucks in Slovakia requires a valid forklift operator licence. The legal framework is Act No. 124/2006 Coll. on occupational safety and health and Decree No. 356/2007 Coll.. Only authorised and briefed persons may operate a forklift; the licence is issued by an authorised training provider, and refresher training is required within 5 years.
For heavy-duty machines from 10 t - such as the Hyundai 160D-9 or the Kalmar DCG 180-6T - ground bearing capacity, safety distances and, where applicable, static loads on floors and bridges must be checked separately.
Note: For operations outside Slovakia, different national regulations may apply. We recommend checking the country-specific requirements in advance.
