Rent Aerial Work Platforms and Forklifts in Toulon

In Toulon, you rent aerial work platforms, forklifts and telehandlers from Luibl Rental as one package: we bring the machines on low-loaders from our own fleet right up to the quay, workshop or excavation. The prefecture of the Var, with around 180,000 inhabitants, is France's largest naval base and is squeezed into a narrow space between the roadstead and Mont Faron. Building land is scarce, many streets are steep, and a large proportion of jobs involve ships, port structures or facades of older buildings. For exactly such situations, we put together machines that stand stably on a small footprint and reach far at height.

The Toulon area offers a clearly defined range of applications for rental equipment:

• Naval base and ship maintenance: The French navy base in the Toulon roadstead and the associated shipyard and maintenance companies of the defence and shipbuilding industry need articulated and telescopic boom lifts for work on hulls, superstructures and workshops.

• Ferry and commercial port: Ferries run from the port of Toulon to Corsica and Sardinia, plus cruise calls and cargo handling in the roadstead near La Seyne-sur-Mer. Forklifts and telehandlers are in demand here for handling and in the port warehouses.

• Technopole de la Mer near Ollioules and La Seyne-sur-Mer: Marine technology and research companies and suppliers use scissor and mast lifts for assembly, plant construction and hall maintenance.

• Commercial and retail zones in the east: Between La Valette-du-Var and La Garde there are large retail and commercial areas with stores, warehouses and office buildings – typical jobs for electric scissor lifts in interior fit-out and for forklifts in goods logistics.

• Housing, renovation and tourism: Renovations in the old town, new-build projects in the city and hotels and holiday resorts on the Var coast require telescopic boom lifts for facades and compact machines for narrow access routes.

Which platform you need in Toulon is usually determined by the obstacle between the machine position and the work point:

• From the quay to the ship's side: Anyone working on a hull, harbour crane or warehouse roof with bollards, railings or superstructures in between takes one of the articulated boom lifts. Their basket articulates over the obstacle and reaches more than 35 m.

• High hall walls and masts: For facades of shipyard halls in La Seyne-sur-Mer, antenna masts or hotel buildings on the coast, telescopic boom lifts extend straight and far – giving you access to the greatest working heights.

• Stores and warehouses in the east of the metropolitan area: In the halls between La Valette-du-Var and La Garde, scissor lifts work with 8 to 18 m working height. The electric version runs without exhaust at the point of use, while the diesel version with rough-terrain tyres also copes with gravel areas at the port.

• Terminal buildings and plant rooms: Narrow mast lifts are suitable for changing lights, cable work and maintenance in narrow corridors.

The platforms are built by manufacturers such as Haulotte and Genie. Before a platform goes to Toulon, we check the status of its vérification générale périodique: the arrêté du 1er mars 2004 requires a VGP by a competent person every six months for equipment that lifts people. You receive the report, which also belongs in the registre de sécurité, with the machine.

In port handling and in the warehouses of the metropolitan area, forklifts take care of pallet work: electric in enclosed halls, with diesel engines or as rough-terrain forklifts on open areas and quays. On construction sites on the slopes above the old town, on the other hand, the telehandler plays to its strengths. Its telescopic boom lifts pallets of building materials over walls and embankments onto scaffold levels or roof surfaces where there is no room for a crane.

An example from our fleet is the Manitou MT 730 H with 3,000 kg capacity and 6.90 m lift height; machines from Manitou, Merlo and Magni are also available. You can rent for a single handling job as well as for a shipyard campaign lasting several months. Platform, forklift and telehandler can be combined in one order – useful, for example, when overhauling a shipyard hall where roof panels are lifted, components loaded and lights replaced at great height at the same time.

Three things speak for Luibl Rental in Toulon. First, the choice: we offer machines from Manitou, Merlo, Magni, Haulotte and Genie in many height, load and drive classes. Second, the climate: cabs with air conditioning and heating, which many of our platforms and telehandlers have, make the Mediterranean high summer and cool mistral days more bearable. Third, a clear handover: on site we explain the functions of the delivered machine to your staff.

In France, the authorisation to operate is granted by the employer – as an autorisation de conduite under Art. R4323-56 Code du travail, based on appropriate training in accordance with Art. R4323-55. Many companies document this training with the CACES® R486 for platforms or R489 for forklifts. It is a widespread proof, but not a legal requirement, and it does not replace the employer's authorisation.

The rental machines arrive on low-loaders from our own fleet, via the A50 from the west or the A57 from inland. They are unloaded where you work: on the shipyard site in La Seyne-sur-Mer, in front of the warehouse in La Garde, in a lane in the old town or in the hotel car park in Hyeres. For port areas with access control, please give us the contact person and gate; for narrow streets, we clarify vehicle length and unloading area in advance. Because delivery and collection are in one hand, you have a dedicated contact for dates and queries. We also operate along the rest of the Mediterranean coast, for example in Marseille, Nice and Montpellier.

Briefly describe your job in Toulon – working height, load, ground and period – and we will put together the right machine or combination of machines. Whether an articulated boom lift for the ship's side at the quay, an electric scissor lift for shopfitting in La Valette-du-Var or a telehandler for a residential project on a slope: contact us and we will reply with a quote.
