Excavators for Rent in the UAE

What to consider when renting excavators

A few checks before you request a quote for excavators in the UAE save time later:

• Start from the specification: operating weight class and max digging reach are what separate one set of excavators from another, so note them down before you ask for rates.
• Decide on an operator: excavators are often hired with a trained operator, so ask whether the quote includes the operator, fuel and overtime.
• Agree who covers routine servicing, wear parts and breakdown response during the hire, and how a replacement machine is arranged if one is needed.
• Check what the rate includes: fuel, operator, insurance, consumables and the supplier's breakdown response.
• Rates on Arabian Tool are in SAR and exclude VAT, so ask whether your quote is inclusive or exclusive.

Choosing the right excavator size

Most enquiries for excavators start with operating weight class. The classes you can open from this page are 8-ton, 14-ton, 20-ton, 30-ton and 40-ton.

If you prefer a particular make, these have dedicated pages: Komatsu, Volvo, Doosan and Kobelco. Standardising on one brand can simplify parts and operator training.

What affects the price of renting excavators

Quotes for excavators differ from supplier to supplier. These are the factors that move the price:

• Duration: longer hires are usually priced lower per day, and many suppliers quote daily, weekly and monthly rates.
• Operator and fuel: check whether the rate is for the machine alone or includes an operator, fuel and overtime.
• Machine size and age: larger, newer or better-equipped machines are priced higher.
