4 listings available
4 drilling machines and rigs are listed for sale in the UAE today, from 2 suppliers. Three of the machines are 2024 builds and one is from 2018; three are located in Dubai and one in Sharjah. Only one listing shows a price, so no price range can be given and sellers quote on request.
EquipmentsFinder charges buyers nothing and takes no commission. Each listing shows the seller's phone and WhatsApp number. Rigs for hire are on the drilling rig rental page, and the buy hub lists piling, foundation and earthmoving equipment in their own categories.
The 4 current listings are in the grid above. Open each one for the rig type, drilling depth and diameter, mast height, hours and the seller's contact. Contact is direct; the buyer agrees a price with the seller and pays the seller, with no intermediary and no fee on the marketplace side.
Neither of the two suppliers is verified at present, so ask for the seller's trade licence and inspect the rig before paying. Stock in this category is thin, and a purchase request on the inquiry board reaches dealers and contractors who have rigs they have not listed.
Rotary rigs drill large-diameter bored piles and diaphragm walls using a kelly bar and a rotary head on a crawler base. They are the foundation machines for towers and bridges in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where the ground is sand over weak rock. Rated by maximum pile diameter and depth and by rotary torque.
Piling rigs cover driven piles, continuous flight auger piles and vibro work. A hydraulic hammer or vibro unit on a leader drives precast or steel piles for marine and industrial foundations; a CFA rig augers and concretes the pile in one pass for mid-rise buildings. The leader length and the hammer energy define the machine.
Truck- or trailer-mounted water-well rigs drill boreholes for farms, labour camps and remote sites that are off the mains supply. They are rated by depth capacity and hole diameter and use rotary, DTH hammer or a combination. The Northern Emirates and the Al Ain region are the main users.
Core drilling rigs recover rock samples for geotechnical investigation before a foundation design. They are small, often skid- or trailer-mounted, and are bought by site investigation contractors and laboratories rather than by main contractors.
The choice follows the ground and the product. Bored piles in sand and weak calcarenite rock need a rotary rig with enough torque and kelly length for the specified depth; driven piles in soft marine deposits need a hammer rig; water wells in the mountains need a DTH hammer that can handle hard rock.
Check the rig against the deepest and largest hole in the contract, with a margin, rather than against the typical pile. Transport weight and dimensions matter because a large rotary rig moves on a multi-axle low-loader with the mast lowered. Finally, verify that tooling such as kelly bars, augers, casings and hammer rods comes with the rig, since buying it separately is expensive.
Only one of the 4 listed rigs shows a price, which is too few to quote a range or a typical figure. The sellers quote on request, and the quote depends on rig type, depth and diameter capacity, year, hours and the tooling package included.
When asking for a quote, confirm whether the figure includes the kelly bar or leader, the drilling tools, transport and recommissioning on site, and whether VAT is added. For a new 2024 rig, ask about the manufacturer's warranty and local service support, since three of the four current listings are of that year.
3 of the 4 rigs are listed in Dubai. The Dubai drilling rig page filters the grid to those machines.
No drilling rigs are listed in Abu Dhabi today. The Abu Dhabi drilling rig page updates as sellers post, and foundation contractors in the capital usually source rigs from Dubai dealers or import them.
1 rig is listed in Sharjah, shown on the Sharjah drilling rig page.
No rigs are listed in these emirates at present. Water-well and rock drilling contractors in Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah can post a purchase request, which reaches sellers across the whole UAE.
With only 4 rigs listed, the surest way to find a specific type is to post a purchase request stating the rig type, depth and diameter, year range and budget. Dealers and contractors across the UAE reply directly, free of charge.
Only one of the 4 rigs listed today publishes a price, so no reliable range exists and the sellers quote on request. The price depends on the rig type, its depth and diameter capacity, year, hours and the drilling tools included. Confirm whether transport, commissioning and VAT are extra when the quote arrives.
A rotary rig for bored piles and diaphragm walls, a hammer or CFA piling rig for driven and augered piles, a truck-mounted rotary or DTH rig for water wells, and a core rig for site investigation. Size it to the deepest and widest hole in the contract with a margin, and check transport weight.
Three of the four rigs listed today are 2024 builds, so new or nearly new stock is available. A new rig brings warranty and dealer support, which matters on foundation contracts with penalties for delay. A used rig suits a contractor with its own mechanics and a steady run of smaller jobs.
Yes, and a rig should be seen working or at least powered up. Check the mast and leader for straightness, the rotary head and winches for leaks, the kelly bar sections for wear, the crawler undercarriage, the engine hours and the control system for stored faults. Bring a drilling foreman to the inspection.
A sale invoice, a copy of the seller's trade licence and the rig's import or ownership documents are the usual set. A truck-mounted water-well rig also needs its vehicle registration transferred, which the seller can explain. Match the serial plate to the papers and obtain the manuals and the tooling list in writing.
Yes. Piling and drilling rigs are commonly hired with an operator for a single foundation package, which avoids a large purchase for one contract. The drilling rig rental section of EquipmentsFinder lists hire stock across the UAE with direct contact to the supplier.
