Cranes and Lifting Equipment for Rent in the UAE

What to consider when renting cranes and lifting equipment

Hiring cranes and lifting equipment goes more smoothly when the basics are settled before you ask for prices. These points shape the quote:

• Ask for the current inspection certificate of the lifting equipment and the certification of the operator and rigger before the machine is mobilised.
• 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.

Types of cranes and lifting equipment

Choose the type first for the job in hand, then open its page for the available sizes and brands. This group has 9 types: mobile cranes, crawler cranes, tower cranes, rough terrain cranes, all-terrain cranes, truck-mounted cranes, forklifts, telehandlers and reach stackers.

• Mobile Cranes: Telescopic-boom cranes mounted on wheeled carriers that drive between sites and set up on outriggers.
• Tower Cranes: Fixed or climbing cranes with a tall mast and a horizontal or luffing jib, used to lift materials to height on buildings and large structures.
• All-Terrain Cranes: Multi-axle cranes that combine the road speed of a truck crane with the off-road ability of a rough-terrain crane, with a telescopic boom and all-wheel steering.
• Forklifts: Powered industrial trucks with forks on a vertical mast for lifting, moving and stacking pallets and palletised loads.

What affects the price of renting cranes and lifting equipment

There is no single market rate for cranes and lifting equipment: the figure on a quote depends on the points below.

• 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.
• Availability: rates can move with demand, so the same machine may be quoted differently at different times of year.
