Rent heavy-duty telehandlers from 7.2 to 33 t

Heavy-duty telehandlers are used when heavy machines and components need to be moved safely and positioned precisely. Typical applications are machine relocations, plant and steel construction, and port and industrial logistics. When selecting the right model, besides the load weight, the load centre, lift height, reach, attachment, ground conditions and available space are decisive. Luibl supports you with the technical choice of machine and organises delivery with its own low-loader fleet - throughout Belgium.

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. Delivery is made with our own low-loader fleet - throughout Belgium. Luibl has the following heavy-duty telehandlers available for rent - all maintained, fully fuelled and with current inspection records:

• Merlo P. 72.10 - 7,200 kg | 9.40 m lift height | 5.20 m reach | 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 reach
• Manitou MHT 10120 - 12,000 kg | 9.62 m lift height | 5.35 m reach | 5.95 x 2.50 x 2.90 m
• Manitou MHT 10160 - 16,000 kg | 9.60 m lift height | 5.20 m reach | 6.15 x 2.48 x 2.99 m
• Manitou MHT 10200 ST5 - 19,999 kg | 9.70 m lift height | 5.40 m reach | 6.70 x 2.58 x 2.98 m
• Manitou MHT 11250 ST5 - 24,999 kg | 10.60 m lift height | 6.00 m reach
• Manitou MHT 12330 - 33,000 kg | 11.92 m lift height | 6.60 m reach | 8.37 x 2.98 x 3.60

All machines leave our depot after a load test of the load moment limiter (LML). Inspection records, handover reports and technical data sheets on ground pressure are available on request.

Not every heavy-duty job takes place on a level hall floor. In bridge construction, mining or when handling 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 starting under full load - an important factor when manoeuvring heavy loads on slopes with centimetre precision.

The Merlo P models cover the lower capacity range of the heavy-duty fleet (7,200-12,000 kg) and, thanks to their more compact dimensions, are suitable for areas with limited space, such as factory halls or machine relocations.

Applications for heavy-duty telehandlers

• Heavy industry and plant installation: positioning transformers, presses and reactor parts precisely

• 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 on confined sites without fixed crane runways

• Tandem lifts: two heavy-duty telehandlers coordinated - for loads a single machine cannot handle alone

In a port logistics project, 20-tonne steel segments 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. Result: cost savings compared with a crane job, and both telehandlers were available for other tasks on site after the load had been set down.

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. User obligations under the Code on Well-being at Work, Book IV (work equipment):

• Operators have the required operator qualification (adequate training ensured by the employer) and are designated by the employer

• Check the load chart before every lift - essential for heavy loads

• Risk assessment including ground check before commissioning (load-bearing ground: asphalt, concrete or heavily compacted gravel; on soft ground: consider ground mats)

• On public roads: clarify authorisation under the Belgian Highway Code in advance

Heavy-duty telehandlers with a dead weight 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 abnormal load permits:

• Delivery on the agreed date directly to the site or company premises

• Collection at the end of the rental included - no third-party haulier required

• Delivery throughout Belgium

• Oversize and heavy transport permits are coordinated by us
