Powerful hire machines for construction projects in the greater Vienna area

Our hire fleet for Vienna covers three areas of application: earthmoving and civil engineering, lifting and logistics equipment, and height access. Machines in various weight classes are available for each category – tailored to the space constraints of the dense urban area as well as to the requirements of the industrial zones in the south and west of the city.

Excavators for groundworks and civil engineering in the urban area

Our excavator range extends from compact mini excavators to heavy-duty crawler excavators:

  • 1.8-tonne mini excavator | Yanmar SV18 – operating weight 1,975kg, digging depth 2.29m, lifting height 3.76m, lateral reach 4.04m. Suitable for work in underground car parks, tight courtyards and basement stairwells, where transport width and turning radius are limiting factors.

  • 3.5-tonne mini excavator | Bobcat E35 – operating weight 3,424kg, lifting height 4.99m, lateral reach 5.35m. Suitable for cable and pipe trenching in built-up areas without closing traffic lanes.

  • 5-tonne compact excavator | Bobcat E50 – operating weight 5,143kg, lifting height 6.06m, lateral reach 5.60m. The standard solution for foundation work, drainage construction and slope stabilisation in the Vienna area.

  • 8.5-tonne compact excavator | Bobcat E85 – operating weight 8,500kg, lifting height 6.98m, lateral reach 6.92m. For medium-duty groundworks and demolition work with interchangeable attachments (digging bucket, ditching bucket, hydraulic hammer).

  • 14-tonne crawler excavator | Doosan DX-140LC-5 – operating weight 14,000kg, lifting height 8.75m, lateral reach 8.53m. Areas of use: civil engineering, pipe-laying, demolition.

  • 23-tonne crawler excavator | Doosan DX-235LC-5 – operating weight 22,800kg, lifting height 9.56m, lateral reach 9.88m. Suitable for large-scale earthmoving, infrastructure projects and material handling with a sorting grab or digging bucket.

All models are supplied with a complete operating manual, a current inspection record in accordance with AM-VO and – on request – a suitable attachment. Hydraulic hammers, digging buckets in various cutting widths, ditching buckets and sorting grabs can be ordered separately.

Fixed and rotating: telehandlers for warehouse and infrastructure construction

Telehandlers complement our earthmoving machinery wherever material needs to be moved at height or lifted to hard-to-reach positions:

Fixed telehandlers reach lifting heights of up to 19m with load capacities of up to approximately 4,000kg. They are suitable for supplying materials on shell-construction sites and in logistics areas with paved access routes.

Roto telehandlers (rotating) – including the Magni RTH 6-39 SH model – reach lifting heights of up to 39m. Thanks to their 360° slewing ring, they work productively even where direct access to the point of use is not possible. Fitted with a work platform (personnel carriage in accordance with the load chart per ÖNORM EN 280), they serve as an aerial work platform; with a winch, they replace a mobile crane within defined load parameters.

Heavy-duty telehandlers – the range extends up to the Manitou MHT 10200 with a lifting capacity of 20,000kg. For handling steel components, precast beams or transformers on large construction sites with varying ground conditions.

Site logistics for Vienna and Lower Austria: punctual delivery by low-loader

Delivery is handled by our own low-loader fleet – no third-party logistics, no coordination losses. The machine is delivered directly to the point of use, not to an excavation site in the surrounding area.

For sites within the Gürtel or in densely built-up districts, specific requirements apply regarding delivery time, set-down area and the turning circle of the transport vehicle. This information is agreed with you before delivery – so that the construction schedule is not disrupted.

The same delivery conditions apply to projects in Lower Austria (NÖ-Süd industrial centre, the Aspern area, Schwechat, Klosterneuburg, Wiener Neustadt). Our network of over 200 locations ensures that regional availability bottlenecks are balanced out.

Long-term hire: For projects running over several weeks or months, Luibl puts together tailored combined quotes. These typically include UVV inspection, maintenance intervals in line with manufacturer specifications and – on request – the provision of an on-site engineer (via Monteuranforderung Miete). A single point of contact manages the entire machine fleet for the duration of the project.

Legal certainty: construction machinery hire to AM-VO standards

In Austria, all construction machinery and lifting equipment is subject to mandatory periodic inspection under § 8 of the Equipment Ordinance (AM-VO). Inspection intervals depend on the type of machine and operating conditions; for excavators and crane installations, the standard cycle is 12 months.

The inspection log for each hired machine is provided on handover. This allows you, as the hirer, to meet your documentation obligations towards the Labour Inspectorate and avoid site stoppages due to missing records.

In Austria, the AUVA guidelines and the requirements of the Construction Worker Protection Ordinance (BauV) apply to the instruction of operating personnel. Luibl provides machine-specific operating manuals in German. For cross-border projects involving German personnel, DGUV Rule 100-500 and DGUV Regulation 68/69 are additionally relevant as reference standards; the machines meet the applicable requirements in both jurisdictions.

Compliance with the original load charts – set out in the operating manual of the respective manufacturer (Bobcat, Doosan, Yanmar, Manitou, Magni, Merlo) – forms part of the handover documentation. Any overload damage occurring outside the specified load range is the hirer's responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions About Construction Equipment Hire in Vienna

chevronDown

Can I hire attachments such as a hydraulic hammer or special buckets as well?

Hydraulic hammers, digging buckets (cutting widths 30–120 cm), ditch-cleaning buckets and sorting grabs are available on request. Compatibility with the selected excavator model is checked before delivery.

How much does it cost to hire an excavator or construction machine in Vienna?

Hire prices depend on the machine type, specification, hire duration and delivery distance. For long-term projects (4 weeks or more), you'll receive an individual quote with more favourable daily rates. You can submit a no-obligation enquiry via www.luibl.eu/kontakt/.

Which construction machines can be operated without special qualifications?

In Austria, the BauV (Construction Ordinance) requires documented operator instruction for excavators above a certain power class. For compact mini excavators (up to approximately 6 tonnes operating weight), machine-specific instruction from the hire company is often sufficient. For tracked excavators from 14 tonnes and telehandlers fitted with a work platform, an IPAF PAL certificate (for aerial platform use) or a documented excavator operator qualification is required. We clarify the specific requirements for your project on request.

How does delivery of construction machinery to Viennese construction sites work?

Delivery is made by low-loader directly to the point of use. For sites in central Viennese districts, we coordinate the delivery time and parking area with you in advance. Special permits for oversized transports are – where required – carried by the driver. Collection by the hirer is an alternative option, provided a suitable transport vehicle is available.

Who is liable for damage to the hired construction machine?

Liability terms are set out in Luibl's terms and conditions, which are provided when the contract is concluded. Damage arising from normal operation can be covered by optional machine breakdown insurance; details of the excess are provided on request. Damage caused by improper use or overloading beyond the manufacturer's specifications falls outside the scope of cover.

Are short-notice hire solutions available for urgent projects?

Yes. Availability can be checked at short notice through our branch network. Enquiries with a specific date and machine requirement are processed on weekdays from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm (Mon–Fri).
