Rent Aerial Work Platforms in Gdansk – Height Access for Port, Shipyard and the Metropolitan Region

Gdansk – in German, Danzig – is not only one of Poland's most historically significant cities, but also one of the most important industrial and logistics hubs on the Baltic Sea. The DCT Gdansk deep-water port is the largest container port on the Baltic; the Gdansk Shipyard (Stocznia Gdansk) is the site of ongoing revitalisation projects; and the Trojmiasto metropolitan region – Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot – continues to grow as an economic area. For construction projects in the port, industry and old town, Luibl Rental delivers aerial work platforms, telehandlers and forklifts straight to your site – with our own low-loader fleet and over 200 locations in our network.

• Gdansk places particularly varied demands on aerial work platforms. The historic Main Town, with its listed merchant houses and Long Street (Ulica Dluga), calls for different machines than the quaysides of the Port of Gdansk or the large logistics and industrial halls in the Kokoszki industrial estate. Luibl Rental delivers the right machine for each of these scenarios.

  Scissor lifts for port, industrial and warehouse work

  In the port area, in the logistics centres in Kokoszki and at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, as well as in production halls of companies such as Intel Technology Poland or Gdanska Stocznia Remontowa, electric scissor lifts are the preferred choice: locally emission-free, quiet, and with a wide working platform for maintenance, assembly and upkeep. For quaysides and shipyard areas with uneven ground, our diesel scissor lifts with all-wheel drive provide the necessary stability.

  Articulating boom lifts for the old town and listed buildings

  Along Gdansk's Long Street, at the Green Gate and in the historic rows of facades in the Main Town, renovation work is constantly under way. The dense layout of tall merchant houses and narrow lanes calls for articulating boom lifts, which are narrow when retracted and reach working heights of up to 43 metres when extended. Our machines from Genie, Haulotte and JLG reach over roof overhangs and historic balconies without needing to reposition the machine – a decisive advantage in heritage-protected zones.

  Telescopic boom lifts for port infrastructure and high-rise construction

  For work on bridges, quay structures and large industrial facilities in the port, as well as for high-rise projects in the growing Oliwa Business Park district, we supply telescopic boom lifts with working heights of up to 57 metres. All-wheel drive, rough-terrain tyres and high load capacities make these machines particularly well suited to harsh port environments.

Beyond Gdansk, the Trojmiasto metropolitan region offers two other significant construction markets. In Gdynia – the modern industrial and naval port north of Gdansk – major port revitalisation and residential construction projects are under way. In Sopot, the focus is mainly on facade work on the historic seaside resort villas and hotels along the beach promenade. Luibl Rental supplies all three cities with combined transport from a single order.

In addition to aerial work platforms, Luibl Rental supplies telehandlers and forklifts for the Gdansk region. Rotating telehandlers from Magni and Merlo are ideal for confined port and shipyard sites, where pinpoint load placement without repositioning the machine is essential. Fixed telehandlers with load capacities of up to 25 tonnes and heavy-duty forklifts of up to 16 tonnes serve the logistics centres in Kokoszki and heavy machinery transport in shipbuilding and plant construction.

Luibl Rental operates its own low-loader fleet and delivers machines directly to your site in Gdansk – with no subcontractors and no dependence on third-party hauliers. This ensures binding delivery dates even where port or site operations change at short notice. For projects across the entire Trojmiasto metropolitan region, we coordinate combined transport to Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot within a single order.

German companies and posted-worker firms operating on construction sites in Gdansk remain subject to German occupational safety regulations. DGUV Principle 308-008 requires verified operator qualification for aerial work platforms – a critical safety factor, especially in port and shipyard settings. Luibl Rental provides complete inspection documentation and CE conformity certificates on request. All our aerial work platforms carry valid CE marking.
