FAQ
Which aerial work platform is right for my needs?
The right aerial work platform depends on three factors: working height, location (indoors/outdoors), and the type of ground.
For indoor use, electric scissor lifts or articulated boom lifts are usually recommended because they are emission-free and compact.
For outdoor applications, diesel-powered platforms with greater reach and off-road capability are more suitable.
👉 Tip: Briefly describe your needs to us, and we’ll recommend the right equipment for you within minutes.
How much does a work platform cost per day?
Rental costs depend heavily on the type of equipment, the working height, and the rental period.
Typical rates:
• Small scissor lifts: from approx. €80–120 per day
• Medium working heights (10–16 m): approx. €120–250 per day
• Large telescopic boom lifts: from approx. €250 per day
Long-term rentals are significantly cheaper.

When is renting more economical than buying?
Renting is particularly advantageous when:
• the equipment is only needed temporarily
• different applications require different equipment
• maintenance and service are to be outsourced
Buying is advantageous for:
• continuous use
• high utilization
• standardized applications
👉 We will advise you honestly on which solution makes the most economic sense.
Which aerial work platform is suitable for indoor use?
The following are particularly suitable for indoor use:
• Electric scissor lifts
• Compact articulated boom lifts
• Equipment with non-marking tires
Important features include:
• Narrow doorways
• Low ground pressure
• Emission-free operation
👉 We will select the right equipment for your building or construction site.
How quickly can a work platform be delivered?
In many cases, we deliver within 24–48 hours – often even on the same day.

How much does a conveyor cost?
The cost depends heavily on the following factors:
• Length and width
• Conveying capacity (t/h)
• Material and application
• Custom designs
Simple conveyors start in the low four-figure range, while complex systems can cost significantly more.
👉 We offer customized solutions instead of standard products.
Which conveyor is suitable for sand and gravel?
For sand and gravel, you need:
• robust conveyors
• wear-resistant materials
• appropriate belt speed
• suitable incline (depending on the material)
👉 We precisely dimension your conveyor to the conveying volume and material.
How do you properly size a conveyor?
The most important parameters are:
• Conveying capacity (e.g., t/h)
• Material density
• Conveyor length and incline
• Belt speed
Incorrect sizing quickly leads to wear and tear or inefficient operation.
