Marseille is France's largest Mediterranean metropolis and a heavyweight among Europe's industrial locations. The Grand Port Maritime de Marseille is France's largest Mediterranean port; the Euromediterranee urban development project ranks among Europe's largest urban renewal schemes; and the petrochemical cluster around the Etang de Berre – with companies such as TotalEnergies, Ineos and LyondellBasell – places continuous demands on inspection and maintenance equipment at height. Luibl Rental delivers aerial work platforms, telehandlers and forklifts directly to your site in Marseille – with our own low-loader fleet and more than 200 locations in our network.

Aerial work platforms in Marseille: equipment types for the port, old town and industry

Marseille's construction sites are as varied as the city itself. In the historic districts of Le Panier and Noailles, narrow streets and listed facades call for compact machines. In the port area and along the new Euromediterranee axis between La Joliette and Arenc, great working heights are in demand. In the industrial plants around the Etang de Berre, maximum load capacity and ATEX (explosion-proof zone) suitability are what count. Luibl Rental delivers for all three scenarios.

Articulating boom lifts for the old town and Euromediterranee

In Le Panier – Marseille's oldest quarter, with narrow stepped lanes and tall facades – as well as along the new office developments in the Euromediterranee area, articulating boom lifts are the most efficient solution. Retracted, they are narrow enough for historic entrances; extended, they reach working heights of up to 43 metres – including the Niftylift HR17N (17 m, 225 kg, electric, 9.70 m outreach) from our fleet for lighter facade work.

Telescopic boom lifts for the Grand Port Maritime

For quay structures, silo installations, bridges and industrial infrastructure at the Grand Port Maritime de Marseille – France's largest Mediterranean port – telescopic boom lifts with working heights of up to 57 metres are indispensable. Four-wheel drive and rugged all-terrain tyres ensure safe operation on port surfaces. Equipment from Genie and Haulotte also copes with maritime operating conditions.

Scissor lifts for industry and warehouse work

In production halls, logistics centres and large exhibition complexes – such as the Parc des Expositions Marseille Chanot – electric scissor lifts are the first choice: locally emission-free, quiet, with a wide platform for maintenance and assembly work. For outdoor sites and the industrial cluster around Fos-sur-Mer, diesel scissor lifts with four-wheel drive are available.

Telehandler hire in Marseille

Luibl Rental supplies rotating and fixed telehandlers for Marseille and the Bouches-du-Rhone region. From our current fleet: Magni RTH 6.39SH (6,000 kg, 38.90 m lifting height, 27 m outreach), Magni RTH 5.35S (5,000 kg, 34.70 m) and Magni RTH 4.18 (4,000 kg, 17.56 m) – three powerful rotating telehandlers for structural engineering, port logistics and heavy-duty assembly work. Fixed models with load capacities of up to 25 tonnes are also available.

Transport and logistics: our own low-loader fleet for Marseille

Luibl Rental operates its own low-loader fleet and delivers machines directly to your site in Marseille – without subcontractors, without relying on third-party hauliers. This guarantees binding delivery dates, even when port or site operations require short-notice rescheduling. For construction sites throughout the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region (Aix-en-Provence, Toulon, Avignon, Fos-sur-Mer), we arrange combined transports on request.

Health and safety: DGUV Principle 308-008 and CACES R486

For German companies and posted-worker businesses operating on construction sites in Marseille, DGUV Grundsatz 308-008 continues to apply, with its requirement for verified operator qualification for aerial work platforms. In France, labour law additionally requires an operating permit issued by the employer (autorisation de conduite) following adequate training; CACES R486 (Categorie A/B) is the usual proof of this training, but not a legal requirement. Luibl Rental provides complete inspection documentation and CE conformity certificates on request.
