4 listings available
4 cranes are listed for sale in Abu Dhabi today, from 3 suppliers, 1 of them verified. Three are mobile cranes and one is a crawler crane; two are Sany machines, with one Grove and one XCMG. All four are in Musaffah, the industrial district where the emirate's plant dealers and crane yards cluster. The model years listed are 1992, 2021 and 2022, so the page currently spans an older working crane and two nearly new ones.
Only one of the four listings publishes an asking price, so the sellers quote on request. Buying through EquipmentsFinder costs nothing and there is no commission; the seller's phone and WhatsApp are on each listing. Cranes for hire are on the crane rental page, the UAE crane page shows stock in every emirate, and the Abu Dhabi buy hub covers other machines for sale here.
Each listing gives the crane's type, rated capacity, boom length, brand, year, hours and photographs, and states whether the seller is verified, meaning EquipmentsFinder has checked its trade licence and contact details. The buyer calls or messages the seller, agrees a viewing in Musaffah, and settles price and transport directly. A buyer who needs a different capacity or type can post a purchase request, which reaches sellers across the UAE.
3 of the 4 listings are mobile cranes, the truck- or carrier-mounted telescopic machines that drive between jobs under their own power. They are the usual purchase for a contractor doing frequent short lifts across several sites.
All-terrain cranes combine road speed with all-wheel steering and drive for soft ground. None is listed separately today; check the chassis details on the mobile crane listings.
A telescopic crane on a commercial truck chassis, cheaper to buy and run than a purpose-built carrier and quick between sites on the Abu Dhabi to Al Ain and Ruwais roads.
Single-cab machines on large tyres for working inside a site, common on the oil and gas plants around Ruwais where they stay on the plot for the duration. They are not built for the road and travel between sites on a low-bed.
The one crawler crane listed today represents the heavy end: a lattice-boom machine on tracks that can travel with the load and lifts for months on a single site, such as a marine or industrial job at KIZAD.
Tower cranes serve high-rise building on Reem, Saadiyat and Yas islands. None is listed in Abu Dhabi today; a request is the way to find one.
Rail- or rubber-tyred gantries for precast yards, steel fabrication shops and port work. They are bought for a specific yard and seldom come onto the market.
Compact tracked cranes that fit through a doorway and lift a few tonnes indoors, for glazing, M&E installation and fit-out work in the city. Nothing is listed in this class today.
Work from the heaviest planned lift and the radius it will be made at, then read the load chart, not the headline tonnage, because capacity falls steeply as the boom extends. Add the weight of the hook block, slings and any spreader. For regular work at several sites, a mobile or truck-mounted crane is the practical buy; for a single long job with heavy modules, a crawler crane avoids the daily set-up time.
Crane lifts on construction sites need a lift plan, and the operator needs a valid licence for the machine class. On a used machine, ask for the latest third-party inspection certificate, the boom and wire rope inspection records, and the hours on the engine and the slewing mechanism.
Demand for cranes in the emirate comes from oil and gas construction and maintenance around Ruwais and the Al Dhafra fields, port and industrial work at KIZAD and Khalifa Port, residential and commercial towers on the city's islands, and infrastructure such as roads and utilities out to Al Ain.
Only one of the 4 listed cranes shows a published price, which is too few to give a meaningful range for the emirate. The other sellers quote on request, based on the type, capacity, year, hours, boom condition and inspection status. A 1992 machine and a 2022 machine of similar capacity sit in very different bands.
When asking for a quote, confirm whether VAT is included, whether the registration transfers with a road-registered crane, whether low-bed delivery is covered, and whether a load test is done before handover.
All 4 cranes listed today are in Musaffah. The district's dealers and crane yards are the natural first stop for a viewing, and the ICAD workshops nearby can inspect a machine before purchase.
No crane is listed in KIZAD or Ruwais today, although both areas use crawler and rough-terrain cranes heavily. A request with the capacity needed reaches sellers finishing plant contracts there.
Nothing is listed in the city or on the islands today. Tower cranes and spider cranes for building work here are usually sourced through a request or through the Dubai and Sharjah crane pages.
No listings in Al Ain or Al Dhafra today. Buyers in these areas usually take a machine from Musaffah, driving a mobile crane under its own power or moving a crawler by low-bed.
The fastest way to a specific capacity or type is to post a purchase request giving the lift weight, radius, crane type and budget. Sellers across the UAE see it and reply directly, at no cost to the buyer.
Only 1 of the 4 cranes listed in Abu Dhabi today shows an asking price, so no range can be given for the emirate. The other sellers quote on request, and the figure depends on the type, capacity, year, hours and inspection status. Ask whether VAT, delivery and a load test are included in the price.
Take the heaviest lift and its radius to the load chart of each candidate machine, allowing for the hook block and rigging. A mobile or truck-mounted crane suits frequent short lifts at different sites; a crawler suits one long heavy job; a rough-terrain crane suits an enclosed plant. The listings currently cover mobile and crawler types.
All 4 cranes listed are used machines, and used is the normal purchase for contractors in the UAE because cranes have long working lives when inspected and maintained. A used crane with current inspection certificates and documented rope and boom history is sound value. New suits a company running the crane daily under warranty.
Yes. The four machines are in Musaffah, and a viewing is arranged with the seller through the listing. Take a crane operator or inspector, check the boom sections, wire ropes, hook block and outriggers, review the inspection certificates, and ask the seller to run the crane through its motions and, where possible, a test lift.
A sale invoice, a copy of the seller's trade licence and the crane's ownership papers are the usual documents, and the seller confirms what applies. A mobile or truck-mounted crane that is road-registered also needs its registration transferred, which the seller arranges. Match the serial number on the crane to the paperwork before payment.
Sany accounts for 2 of the 4 cranes listed today, with 1 Grove and 1 XCMG. Sany and XCMG are Chinese makes with a strong presence in the mobile crane class in the UAE; Grove is a long-established American brand. Other makes appear as sellers list, and a request can specify a brand.
The listed model years are 1992, 2021 and 2022. An older crane with a current inspection certificate can still work well, but boom, rope and hydraulic wear should be checked carefully. The newer machines will carry higher prices and more remaining life, and are the ones to look at for a long-term fleet addition.
