Heavy-duty telehandler rental from 7.2 to 33 t
Heavy-duty telehandlers are used when heavy machinery and components need to be moved safely and positioned precisely. Typical applications include machine relocations, plant and steel construction, and port and industrial logistics. When choosing the right model, the decisive factors besides the load weight are in particular the load centre, lift height, outreach, attachment, ground conditions and available space. Luibl supports you with the technical machine selection and organises delivery with its own low-loader fleet - throughout Slovakia and, on request, to other European countries.
The rental fleet: 7 models from Merlo and Manitou
While standard telehandlers usually reach their capacity limit at a load capacity of 5 to 6 tonnes, Luibl Rental offers heavy-duty telehandlers with load capacities from 7,200 to 33,000 kg. We deliver with our own low-loader fleet - throughout Slovakia and, on request, to other European countries. Luibl has the following heavy-duty telehandlers available for rent - all maintained, fully fuelled and with a current inspection record:
- Merlo P. 72.10 - 7,200 kg | 9.40 m lift height | 5.20 m outreach | 5.35 x 2.33 x 2.44 m
- Merlo P. 120.10 HM - 12,000 kg | 9.80 m lift height | 5.30 m outreach
- Manitou MHT 10120 - 12,000 kg | 9.62 m lift height | 5.35 m outreach | 5.95 x 2.50 x 2.90 m
- Manitou MHT 10160 - 16,000 kg | 9.60 m lift height | 5.20 m outreach | 6.15 x 2.48 x 2.99 m
- Manitou MHT 10200 ST5 - 19,999 kg | 9.70 m lift height | 5.40 m outreach | 6.70 x 2.58 x 2.98 m
- Manitou MHT 11250 ST5 - 24,999 kg | 10.60 m lift height | 6.00 m outreach
- Manitou MHT 12330 - 33,000 kg | 11.92 m lift height | 6.60 m outreach | 8.37 x 2.98 x 3.60
All machines leave our depot after a load test of the load moment limiter (LMB). Inspection records, handover reports and technical data sheets on ground pressure are available on request.
Manitou MHT: heavy loads on rough terrain
Not every heavy-duty job takes place on a level hall floor. In bridge construction, mining or the handling of wind turbine components, the ground is often the biggest challenge for stability. The Manitou MHT series at Luibl Rental features permanent four-wheel drive, three steering modes and high ground clearance, and moves loads of up to 33 tonnes even on unpaved terrain.
The hydrostatic transmission ensures smooth starts under full load - an important factor when manoeuvring heavy loads on gradients with centimetre precision.
Merlo P series: compact heavy-duty power for halls and tight spaces
The Merlo P models cover the lower load capacity range of the heavy-duty fleet (7,200-12,000 kg) and, thanks to their more compact dimensions, are suited to areas with limited space, such as factory halls or machine relocations.
Applications: where heavy-duty telehandlers prove their worth
Applications for heavy-duty telehandlers
-
Heavy industry and plant installation: precise positioning of transformers, presses and reactor parts
-
Wind power and energy projects: installing nacelles, rotor blades and tower segments on narrow tracks around the foundations
-
Bridge and civil engineering: placing precast elements and steel girders - often without an additional mobile crane
-
Port logistics and handling: moving heavy steel segments in confined areas without fixed crane runways
-
Tandem lifts: two heavy-duty telehandlers working in coordination - for loads that one machine cannot handle alone
Practical example: the tandem lift solution
In a port logistics project, steel segments weighing 20 tonnes had to be moved. Instead of setting up a 300-tonne mobile crane, we opted for the coordinated use of two heavy-duty telehandlers in a tandem lift. Thanks to radio remote control, a single banksman was able to keep both machines in view. The result: cost savings compared with a crane job, and both telehandlers were available for further tasks on site after the load had been set down.
Safety: ground pressure, LMB and operator obligations
With loads above 10,000 kg, components and ground are under high stress. On request, we supply the technical data sheet on ground pressure and check the outrigger loads with you in advance. Operator obligations under Government Regulation No. 392/2006 Coll. (work equipment):
-
Operators must meet the age and operator competence requirements of applicable Slovak safety rules and be authorised by their employer
-
Check the load chart before every lift - mandatory for heavy loads
-
Risk assessment including ground check before commissioning (load-bearing ground: asphalt, concrete or heavily compacted gravel; on soft ground: consider a road plate solution)
-
On public roads: clarify road approval in advance under Act No. 8/2009 Coll. on road traffic
Delivery with our own low-loader fleet
Heavy-duty telehandlers with dead weights of up to 49 tonnes require specialised transport. Luibl has its own low-loader fleet designed for transporting this class of machine - including coordination of the necessary special transport permits:
-
Delivery on the agreed date directly to the site or company premises
-
Collection after the end of the rental included - no third-party haulier required
-
Delivery throughout Slovakia; to other European countries on request
-
Oversize and heavy transport permits are coordinated by us
