The Loxam Group at Intermat

More innovation and more services from the number 1 in equipment rental

In the space of 50 years, LOXAM has become an international group established in 22 countries, number 1 in Europe and number 5 worldwide. Following an exceptional 2017, with sales of €1.368 billion, up 48% compared to 2016 and posting 8% organic growth, the LOXAM Group is present at INTERMAT to unveil its most recent equipment acquisitions, together with an array of services and digital solutions dedicated to building and public works professionals. The international trade show for construction also offers an opportunity to the leading equipment rental company in Europe to raise customer awareness of the issues of safety and accident prevention on all worksites.

New range of hybrid, electric and compact equipment

The LOXAM group is presenting a selection of new hybrid, electric and compact equipment, low in pollutant emissions and designed for work in urban or confined environments. From underground works to roadworks or city centre jobs, the group aims to find a response for each type of project and to the demands of users in their work.

Within its wide offering of equipment and tools for hire, the group has introduced new lines of equipment fitted with the latest technology:

A hybrid compact excavator with an autonomous power source. In addition to its integrated diesel engine, the compact excavator can be plugged into an electrohydraulic unit. The professional can thus use the excavator with a zero-carbon electrical power supply, requiring virtually no other manipulation and offering full 360° movement.

An all-electric articulated wheeled loader. This zeroemission machine has been designed for city centre and underground work. The loader offers the user excellent flexibility, with substantially reduced noise emissions, thereby offering enhanced environmental protection and significantly increased cost efficiency.

A compact electrical vertical mast work platform, suitable for use indoors and outdoors. Lightweight and offering an extended working zone, it is the ideal solution for work at height in confined environments.

An electric cold water pressure washer (up to 500 bars) on a wheeled trolley. This brand-new cleaner is compact, powerful and flexible, offering all the features required by professionals for all types of cleaning applications, emission free and with enhanced safety.

They also have access to analysis and reports on past rental contracts. Additionally, for LOXAM clients, the paperless invoicing system introduced in 2017 simplifies and secures the issuance and storage of their invoices, saving both time and money on storage costs. Nearly 400,000 paperless invoices were sent out by LOXAM in France, representing 20% of total volume.
