Eight air compressors are listed for sale in the UAE today from 3 sellers. Atlas Copco and Doosan each account for 2 of the ads, and 7 of the machines are in Sharjah with 1 in Dubai. The listings are mostly portable diesel units, the towable compressors that power breakers, sandblasting pots and drilling rigs on construction sites across the emirates.
A site compressor is bought rather than hired once it runs most days, which is the case for demolition contractors, blasting and painting crews, and drilling and piling firms. The ads here are posted directly by the owners and dealers, and the seller's phone and WhatsApp number is on each one. Crews with one job ahead can look at air compressor rental instead.
Each ad shows photos, the brand and model, the year and hours, the free air delivery in cubic feet per minute and the working pressure where the seller has stated them, plus an asking price if the seller chooses to publish one. The buyer calls or WhatsApps the seller, inspects and runs the machine, and agrees the sale with them directly. EquipmentsFinder charges the buyer nothing and takes no commission; sellers list free and may pay for extra visibility.
With 8 ads from 3 sellers, the choice on any given day is narrow, so a posted request is a useful second route: it states the flow, pressure and budget, and sellers across the UAE reply with what they have. The buy hub lists the generators and drilling rigs that are often bought with a compressor.
A diesel compressor runs anywhere without a power supply, which is why it is the standard site machine in the UAE. The Atlas Copco and Doosan units listed today are diesel-driven rotary screw machines. The engine, the airend and the cooling system are the three things that decide the value of a used diesel compressor, and all three suffer from heat and dust if the filters have been neglected.
An electric compressor suits a workshop, a precast yard or a fixed plant where mains power is available: it is quieter, cheaper to run and needs less maintenance than a diesel. Few are listed on the site at any one time, so a buyer looking for a stationary electric machine should post a request as well as checking the ads.
Most site compressors are towable: a rotary screw airend and diesel engine in a weatherproof canopy on a single-axle chassis with a tow hitch. They are moved behind a pickup between jobs and sized from small units for one or two breakers up to high-pressure, high-flow machines for drilling. Check the chassis, tow eye, lights and tyres as carefully as the machine, since the trailer is often the neglected part.
Add up the air consumption of every tool that will run at the same time, in cubic feet per minute, and add a margin of around a quarter for leaks and hose losses. A single hand-held breaker needs roughly 60 to 90 cfm; a sandblasting pot with a large nozzle can need several hundred. The working pressure must match the tools too: most pneumatic hand tools run at 7 bar, while down-the-hole drilling and some blasting needs 10 to 25 bar from a high-pressure machine.
Buying a compressor that is too small means tools stall and the machine runs flat out and wears quickly; buying one far too large wastes fuel on every job. On a used machine, ask for the hours and the service records, check the airend for oil carry-over at the outlet, look at the condition of the separator and filters, and run it to full pressure and listen for the unloader valve working cleanly.
None of the 8 compressors listed today shows a published price, so each seller gives a figure on request by phone or WhatsApp. The price follows the flow and pressure rating, the make, the year and hours, and whether the machine is a standard 7-bar unit or a high-pressure one. Ask whether the figure includes VAT and delivery, and whether hoses, a lubricator and the tow lights are included, since a bare machine costs more to put to work.
One compressor is listed in Dubai today. Dubai buyers are also within an hour of the Sharjah yards, where the rest of the stock sits, and a towable unit can be collected behind a pickup.
No compressors are listed in Abu Dhabi at the moment. A towable compressor is one of the easier machines to move, so sellers in Sharjah and Dubai deliver to Musaffah, Al Ain and the western region without a low-bed.
Sharjah holds 7 of the 8 compressors listed today, from sellers in the industrial areas where the UAE's used plant trade is centred.
Nothing is listed in the northern emirates today. Ajman and Umm Al Quwain are minutes from the Sharjah yards, and a compressor can be towed to Ras Al Khaimah or Fujairah the same day.
If the right flow or pressure is not among the 8 machines listed today, post a request stating the cfm, bar, diesel or electric, and budget, and sellers across the UAE will reply with compressors in stock. Requests from other buyers are visible on the inquiry board, and owners with a compressor to sell can post an ad free of charge.
None of the 8 compressors listed today shows a published price, so there is no range to quote. Each seller sets their own figure and gives it on request through the contact details on the ad. The price depends on the flow and pressure rating, brand, year and hours, and on whether hoses and accessories are included. Ask for a delivered price including VAT.
Add up the cfm of every tool that will run together, add about a quarter for losses, and buy a machine rated above that total at the pressure the tools need. Choose a towable diesel for site work with no power supply, an electric machine for a workshop or fixed yard, and a high-pressure unit for drilling or heavy blasting.
A used Atlas Copco or Doosan compressor with moderate hours and clean service records is a sound buy and costs far less than new. The risk is the airend and the engine, both expensive to replace, so inspect and run the machine first. A new compressor brings a warranty and current emissions and noise standards. For a machine that will run most days, that support often justifies the price.
Yes. Contact the seller through the listing and arrange a visit; 7 of the 8 machines are in Sharjah and 1 in Dubai. Start the machine from cold, run it to full pressure and check the unloader, look for oil at the air outlet, inspect the separator, filters, belts and radiator, check the hour meter, and on a towable unit examine the chassis, hitch, tyres and lights.
Ask the seller for a sales invoice in the buyer's name that states the brand, model and serial number, together with the machine's ownership papers and service records. A towable compressor may be registered as a trailer for road use, in which case the registration needs transferring. The steps vary by emirate, so confirm them with the seller before paying.
Atlas Copco and Doosan each have 2 of the 8 compressors listed today, and both have parts and service support in the UAE, which matters for a used airend. The remaining ads are from other makes or do not state the brand, so ask the seller. The stock changes as the 3 sellers post and sell, so check back or post a request for a specific model.
