Cranes and Lifting Equipment for Rent in Sohar

What to consider when renting cranes and lifting equipment

A few checks before you request a quote for cranes and lifting equipment in Sohar save time later:

• Ask for the current inspection certificate of the lifting equipment and the certification of the operator and rigger before the machine is mobilised.
• Ask for the registration, inspection and operator documents your site or client requires before the machine arrives.
• 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.
• Telehandlers: Wheeled machines with a telescopic boom that lifts and places loads forward and upward, using forks, a bucket or a work platform.
• Reach Stackers: Heavy-duty mobile container handlers with a telescopic boom and a spreader, able to lift loaded containers and stack them several rows high and deep.

What affects the price of renting cranes and lifting equipment

Quotes for cranes and lifting equipment differ from supplier to supplier. These are the factors that move the price:

• Delivery and return: mobilisation to and from your site is often charged separately and depends on distance and machine size.
• Site and access: remote sites, restricted access and special permits can add cost.
• Availability: rates can move with demand, so the same machine may be quoted differently at different times of year.
