Rent aerial work platforms in Montpellier – height access for France's fastest-growing metropolis

Rent aerial work platforms in Montpellier – height access for France's fastest-growing metropolis

Montpellier is France's fastest-growing major city. New districts such as Port Marianne and Oz Montpellier are emerging in the south-east, the ZAC Garosud is home to one of the densest commercial and logistics zones in southern France, and the ongoing expansion of the tram network creates continuous infrastructure demand. Added to this are refurbishment projects in the historic Écusson quarter and in the dense 19th-century districts around the Place de la Comédie. Luibl Rental delivers aerial work platforms, telehandlers and special equipment directly to your site in Montpellier – with its own low-loader fleet and over 200 locations in the network.

Aerial work platforms Montpellier: equipment types for city, commerce and infrastructure

Montpellier's construction sites range from narrow medieval lanes in the Écusson to large logistics halls in the ZAC Garosud and demanding infrastructure works on the tram network. Luibl Rental meets every requirement from a single fleet.

Scissor lifts for commercial and indoor work

In the logistics centres and production halls of the ZAC Garosud – one of the largest commercial areas in southern France, home to companies in pharmaceuticals, logistics and high tech – electric scissor lifts are the standard choice. From the current range: PB S320-14ES (32 m, 750 kg, electric, platform 7.65 m × 6.15 m) and Magni ES3225RT (32 m, 1,000 kg, electric, platform 8.30 m × 6.20 m) – both for great working heights in industrial and exhibition halls. The Genie GS 3390RT (12 m, 1,134 kg, diesel) rounds out the range for open-air sites.

Articulated telescopic boom lifts for the Écusson and city sites

In the historic Écusson quarter with its densely built medieval core, as well as in the 19th-century districts around the Place de la Comédie, compact articulated telescopic boom lifts are indispensable. They navigate narrow entrances and, once extended, reach working heights of up to 43 metres – ideal for façade work on multi-storey townhouse terraces without erecting scaffolding. Machines from Genie, Haulotte and JLG are available in various working heights.

Maeda MK3053CB mini crane for confined high-rise sites

A special feature of the Luibl Rental range in Montpellier is the Maeda MK3053CB – a crawler mini crane with a 16.95 m lifting height, 2,800 kg load capacity and a dead weight of just 2,900 kg. This compact crane fits through standard doors and can be used in courtyard locations, tight city sites and for assembly work inside buildings where normal cranes have no access. For Montpellier's dense period-building sites and the growing residential projects in Port Marianne, this is a real competitive advantage.

Rent telehandlers and forklifts in Montpellier

Luibl Rental supplies rotating and rigid telehandlers for Montpellier and the Hérault department. Rotating telehandlers from Magni and Merlo are ideal for confined sites in the new-build districts of Odysseum and Oz Montpellier, where placing loads precisely without repositioning the machine saves time. For logistics sites in the ZAC Garosud and the agricultural region around Lunel and Sète, rigid telehandlers with load capacities of up to 25 tonnes are available.

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

Luibl Rental has its own low-loader fleet and delivers machines directly to your site in Montpellier – with no subcontractors and no dependence on third-party hauliers. This guarantees firm delivery dates even when construction schedules change at short notice. For sites in the metropolitan region (Nîmes, Sète, Lunel, Béziers), we coordinate combined transport on request.

Electric vehicles and resource-efficient rental in Montpellier

Luibl GmbH increasingly offers electric vehicles for rental in Montpellier and works to make rental as cost-effective as possible so that you can work while conserving resources.

By renting our telehandlers, aerial work platforms and construction machinery, you avoid the need for constant new purchases and reduce the scrapping of products. Renting instead of buying also gives you greater flexibility.

Occupational safety: DGUV 308-009 and CACES R486

For German companies and posted-worker operations active on construction sites in Montpellier, DGUV Principle 308-009 continues to apply, with its requirement for proven operator qualification for mobile elevating work platforms. In France, the CACES R486 (Catégorie A/B) is additionally required. Luibl Rental provides complete inspection documentation and CE conformity certificates on request.
