Work platforms in Nice: our equipment range

Nice's construction sites present a range of requirements: refurbishment work in the narrow alleys of Vieux-Nice calls for different machines than high-rise projects in the modern Arenas business district or industrial maintenance at Cote d’Azur Airport. Luibl Rental offers the right equipment for every scenario.

Scissor lifts for indoor and flat-roof work

For maintenance work in hotels, congress centres (such as the Palais des Congres) and logistics buildings in Nice, electric scissor lifts are the first choice. Locally emission-free and quiet, they can be operated indoors without elaborate ventilation. Our range includes, among others, the Magni ES1412AC (12 m, 320 kg, electric) and the Magni DS2223RTP (22 m, 750 kg, diesel) as well as the HAB S280-25D 4WDS (28 m, 750 kg, diesel) for outdoor use.

Articulating boom lifts for the old town and confined locations

In Vieux-Nice, with its narrow alleys and tall period facades, articulating boom lifts are irreplaceable. They pass through narrow entrances when retracted and, when extended, reach working heights of up to 43 metres. The choice includes, among others, the Niftylift HR 28 Hybrid (28 m, 280 kg, lateral outreach 19 m) – ideal for light-filled courtyards and facade sections with obstacles.

Telescopic boom lifts for high-rise construction and the port

For high-rise projects in the Arenas business district, for infrastructure work at Port Lympia or maintenance work on large industrial plants, we supply telescopic boom lifts with working heights of up to 57 metres. Machines from Genie, Haulotte and JLG with all-wheel drive also cope with demanding ground conditions on port construction sites.

Renting telehandlers and forklifts in Nice

In addition to work platforms, Luibl Rental offers telehandlers for construction projects in Nice and the Cote d’Azur region. Fixed telehandlers from Manitou are suitable for construction sites and logistics locations in Nice-Ouest and Saint-Isidore. Rotating telehandlers from Magni and Merlo are suited to confined old-town construction sites and demanding high-rise projects. Load capacities up to 25 tonnes, lifting heights up to 39 metres.

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

Luibl Rental has its own low-loader fleet and delivers machines directly to your construction site in Nice – without subcontractors, without dependence on third-party hauliers. This means binding delivery dates and a direct point of contact for the entire logistics chain. For construction sites in the Cote d’Azur region (Cannes, Antibes, Monaco, Menton) we coordinate combined transport on request.

Occupational safety: DGUV Principle 308-008 and CACES R486

For German companies and posted-worker operations active on construction sites in Nice, DGUV Principle 308-008 continues to apply, requiring proven operator qualification for aerial work platforms. In addition, French labour law requires an operating permit issued by the employer (autorisation de conduite) following adequate training for operating aerial work platforms; CACES R486 (Categorie A/B) is the usual proof of this training, but not a legal requirement. Luibl Rental fully documents the handover of the equipment. All rented work platforms carry a valid CE marking.
