Cranes and Lifting Equipment for Rent in Makkah

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:

• Work from the load, not the label: share the weight, dimensions, pick and set-down points and radius, so the supplier can check them against the machine's load chart.
• Confirm the minimum rental period, the daily, weekly or monthly rate, and what happens when the machine stands idle on site.
• Share the site location, access route and start date so the supplier can confirm availability for your dates.

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.
• Rough Terrain Cranes: Compact, single-cab telescopic cranes on a four-wheel, all-wheel-steer chassis with large tyres, built to work off-road, on uneven ground and in confined sites.
• Truck-Mounted Cranes: A hydraulic crane, knuckle-boom or telescopic, fitted to a standard truck chassis, so the same vehicle carries the load, drives to site and lifts.
• Telehandlers: Wheeled machines with a telescopic boom that lifts and places loads forward and upward, using forks, a bucket or a work platform.

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.
