Drive types compared: electric, diesel or gas?
Electric forklifts produce no local emissions, are quiet and floor-friendly - the first choice for hall logistics, food production, cold stores and companies with emission restrictions. Available in the Luibl fleet from 1.5 to 10 t, 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.
Gas 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 representatives for logistics centres and wholesale without strict indoor emission restrictions.
Renting a forklift instead of buying - when does it pay off?
Renting a counterbalance forklift pays off when demand is project-based or seasonal (trade fairs, relocation, harvest campaign), load capacity requirements vary or capacity peaks need to be covered at short notice. All Luibl rental machines are handed over maintained and inspected - maintenance and repair risks remain with the rental company.
Compared with buying, there is no capital tie-up. The rental company bears the investment risk from changing requirements or technical developments.

Regulations and safety: who may operate a forklift?
Operating a forklift in Belgium requires forklift operator training (adequate training ensured by the employer). The legal basis is the Belgian well-being at work legislation (Act of 4 August 1996 and the Code on Well-being at Work), in particular the Code on Well-being at Work, Book IV (work equipment). Only authorised and instructed persons may operate a forklift; regular refresher training is recommended.
For heavy 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 use in Belgium, the applicable Belgian safety rules and NBN EN standards apply. For use in other countries, different national regulations may apply; checking the specific requirements in advance is recommended.
