Cranes and Lifting Equipment for Rent in Abu Dhabi

What to consider when renting cranes and lifting equipment

Use this checklist when you compare offers for cranes and lifting equipment:

• Ask for the current inspection certificate of the lifting equipment and the certification of the operator and rigger before the machine is mobilised.
• Ask what delivery and return cost, who loads and unloads, and the condition the machine must be returned in.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
