Eleven aerial platforms are listed for sale in the UAE today from 7 sellers. Boom lifts make up 4 of the ads, spider lifts 3, with manlifts and scissor lifts at 2 each. JLG, Platform Basket and Genie are the brands currently on offer, and 9 of the machines are in Sharjah with the other 2 in Dubai.
An aerial platform puts one or two people and their tools at height without scaffolding. Owning one makes sense once a crew uses it most weeks; for shorter jobs there is aerial platform rental.
Each ad on this page is posted by the seller with photos, the model, year, working height where stated, and an asking price if the seller chooses to show one. The phone and WhatsApp number on the listing go straight to that seller. EquipmentsFinder charges the buyer nothing and takes no commission; sellers list free and can pay for extra visibility.
The stock is small and changes quickly. Buyers who do not see the right machine today can post a request stating the working height, indoor or outdoor use and budget. The rest of the market is on the buy hub.
A scissor lift raises a wide deck straight up, which suits ceiling work, cladding and services installation where the crew needs room for materials. Two scissor lifts are listed for sale today. Electric slab scissors are the usual choice for finished floors; rough-terrain diesel scissors carry more and cope with site ground.
An articulating boom has a knuckle in the arm, so the basket can reach up and over an obstruction such as a parapet, duct run or parked plant. The 4 boom lifts on the site today include JLG and Genie machines. Check the model's up-and-over height, not just the maximum platform height, when matching it to a job.
A telescopic (straight) boom gives the longest horizontal outreach for its working height and is the machine for facade access, steel erection and work across a void. Telescopic booms share the boom lift subcategory with articulating models, so ask the seller which type an ad is.
Three spider lifts, all from Platform Basket, are currently for sale. A spider lift is a tracked, narrow machine with outriggers that unfold like legs; it fits through a standard door and then sets up to reach 15 to 30 metres inside an atrium, a mosque hall or a warehouse.
Two manlifts are listed today. A mast lift or manlift carries one person and a small tool tray on a vertical mast, with a footprint small enough for a lift car or a retail aisle. They are the right buy for a facilities team doing lighting, signage and ceiling maintenance in finished buildings.
Working height is platform height plus about two metres for the person standing on it, and sellers quote either figure, so confirm which one the ad means. Capacity is the second number: a standard basket is rated for around 230 kilograms, enough for two people and hand tools, while scissor decks carry more and can be extended.
Outreach matters as much as height for boom lifts: a 20-metre articulating boom may give only 10 or 11 metres of horizontal reach, so a job over a canopy may need a larger telescopic machine than the height suggests. The model years in today's ads are 2002 and 2014, so ask about hours, inspection records and the condition of the slew ring and boom wear pads.
Electric machines with non-marking tyres are the choice for finished interiors, malls and data centres, where fumes and floor damage are not acceptable. Battery condition is the main thing to check on a used electric lift: ask when the batteries were last replaced and whether the charger is included.
Diesel models with rough-terrain tyres and four-wheel drive suit open sites, steel yards and facade work, and most boom lifts and larger scissors are diesel. In the UAE summer, a diesel machine working outdoors also needs its cooling system checked before purchase.
Only 4 of the 11 ads currently show a published price, which is too few to give a reliable range, so each seller's figure is shown on the listing where they have published it. For the rest, the price comes from a call or a WhatsApp message. Ask whether the figure includes VAT, delivery, a current inspection certificate and a charger for electric models.
Two aerial platforms are listed in Dubai today. Dubai sellers will usually demonstrate a lift at the yard before a sale.
No aerial platforms are listed in Abu Dhabi at the moment. Buyers in the capital normally arrange delivery from a Sharjah or Dubai seller, a trip of two to three hours by trailer.
Sharjah holds 9 of the 11 machines on the site, including all of the spider lifts and most of the boom lifts, from sellers in the industrial areas.
There are no aerial platforms listed in the northern emirates today. Sellers in Sharjah deliver to Ajman and Umm Al Quwain in under an hour and to Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah the same day.
If none of the 11 machines listed today fits the job, post a request with the working height, indoor or outdoor use, power source and budget. Sellers across the UAE respond with machines in stock or on order, and the buyer compares the offers and deals with the seller directly.

| Manlifts | AED 55,000 – 150,000 |
Indicative ranges from listings currently on EquipmentsFinder, excluding those with no published rate. Updated weekly.
The price depends on type, working height, power source, age and hours, and only 4 of the 11 machines listed today show a published figure, so there is no reliable range to quote. Each seller sets their own price and shows it on the ad or gives it on request. Ask for a price delivered to site and whether VAT is included.
Match the machine to the highest point that must be reached, the horizontal distance to it, and the floor it stands on. A scissor lift suits straight-up work with materials; an articulating boom reaches over obstacles; a telescopic boom gives the longest reach; a spider lift fits through a door and works over a finished floor; a mast lift suits one person doing light maintenance indoors.
A used platform from a reputable seller costs less and is available at once, but batteries, hydraulic hoses and boom wear pads need checking, and the annual inspection certificate should be current. A new machine brings a warranty and a known service schedule. For daily use on a long project, the warranty and parts support often justify the higher price.
Yes. Contact the seller through the listing and arrange a visit; 9 of the 11 machines listed today are in Sharjah and 2 in Dubai, so an inspection is normally possible within a day or two. Raise the platform to full height, check the emergency lowering, test the tilt alarm and outriggers, and look at the chain or cylinder condition on the mast or boom.
Ask the seller for a sales invoice in the buyer's name, the machine's ownership papers and any third-party inspection certificate. Aerial platforms are not normally road-registered, so the transfer is simpler than for a truck, but the requirements vary by emirate and buyer type. Confirm the paperwork with the seller before paying and keep the serial number on every document.
JLG is the most common brand on the site today with 4 machines, followed by Platform Basket with 3 spider lifts and Genie with 2. All three have parts and service support in the UAE, which matters for a used purchase. The listings change daily, so other brands appear as sellers post new stock.
