Rent a compact forklift

Compact forklift trucks ensure efficient material transportation and intuitive warehouse processes in industry and retail. However, purchasing your own forklift is a considerable investment that is not always justified – especially if the vehicle is only needed for a certain period of time. Hiring compact forklift trucks, on the other hand, is a sensible alternative. The compact industrial trucks are characterized by a particularly high degree of manoeuvrability, which makes them the ideal solution for confined spaces. At Marcus Transport GmbH, customers can hire compact forklift trucks in various performance classes. Our range extends from small industrial forklifts with lifting capacities of 1 to 5.5 tons to powerful large forklifts that can reliably manoeuvre loads of up to 18 tons. Almost all forklifts are available with a choice of gas, diesel or environmentally friendly electric drive and are in perfect working order – we ensure this through regular maintenance. In the rare event of a malfunction, we are there for customers in our workshops or on site to ensure maximum availability.

Compact forklift rental – our fleet at a glance

Customers rent two types of compact forklifts from our compact forklift rental service – industrial forklifts and large forklifts. Industrial forklifts are considered “classic” forklifts and perform a wide variety of tasks in intralogistics, while large forklifts are suitable for demanding heavy-duty tasks. Both types of forklift trucks are available as electric, gas or diesel-powered devices. While electrically powered forklifts score points with their quiet operation and zero emissions, particularly in enclosed spaces, the gas and diesel versions are impressive thanks to their greater range outdoors.

Industrial forklifts – for work in intralogistics

We recommend hiring industrial forklifts to handle tasks relating to the daily transportation of materials in production and warehouses. With lifting capacities of 1 to 5.5 tons and lifting heights of up to 7,010 mm, these manoeuvrable trucks enable efficient order picking processes, even in multi-storey racking systems. The compact design and small turning radius make these trucks an efficient solution for confined storage areas and narrow aisles.

Large forklift trucks – for heavy lifts

Our portfolio of large forklift trucks includes devices with lifting capacities from 6 to 18 tons, which are characterized by their robust design and maximum stability. With lifting heights of up to 8,600 mm, these high-performance forklifts can handle demanding transportation tasks in heavy industry and logistics. Renting large forklifts is particularly useful for handling containers, heavy machine parts or steel coils. Despite their imposing dimensions, they can be manoeuvred safely thanks to precise control and optimized visibility – even in confined spaces.

Other areas of application for which compact stackers are suitable

Companies hire our compact forklift trucks for a wide range of demanding applications. We outline some common work processes that are made easier with the help of the vehicles and show which compact forklift trucks customers should hire and when:

• Production and manufacturing: In modern production environments, industrial forklifts with a lifting capacity of 1-5.5 tons are primarily used for supplying and disposing of production lines. They transport raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products between different production areas and ensure a continuous flow of materials. The compact design enables precise maneuvering between machines and in narrow production areas.
• Warehouse management and order picking: maneuverable industrial forklifts also dominate day-to-day business in warehouse logistics. With lifting heights of over 7 meters, they enable efficient storage and retrieval processes in high-bay warehouses as well as precise order picking work. The electric versions are particularly suitable for enclosed warehouses, while gas and diesel forklifts show their strengths in outdoor warehouses. For heavy pallets or large containers, large forklift trucks are available as a powerful alternative.
• Heavy industry and metal processing: Large forklifts are the preferred choice in metal processing and heavy industry. With lifting capacities of up to 18 tons, they can handle the lifting and lowering of steel coils, heavy profiles or solid castings with ease. The robust devices impress with their high stability when transporting heavy loads and, thanks to precise control, enable even the heaviest workpieces to be positioned with millimeter accuracy. For particularly large heights or ranges, we recommend hiring telescopic forklifts.
• Construction industry: Both types of compact forklift trucks can be hired in the construction industry. Industrial forklifts handle the distribution of smaller building components and materials, while large forklifts are indispensable for heavy building materials such as precast concrete parts or steel beams. The gas and diesel versions guarantee maximum mobility even on unpaved surfaces. Large forklifts in particular score points here with their robust design and high load capacity.

• Battery service: We support customers in the selection and replacement of all forklift truck batteries, whether rented or owned. Our service includes delivery, installation and, on request, collection and reimbursement of the old battery. Particularly innovative: Our large forklift trucks have recently been equipped with solar modules, which ensures that they are ready for use even when not in use for long periods.
• Safety and compliance: We carry out regular UVV inspections (accident prevention regulations) as well as special gas tests for forklifts with the appropriate drive systems. The legally required inspections are carried out by certified inspectors and guarantee the absolute operational safety of all equipment in our fleet.
