No horizontal drilling rigs are listed for sale in Dubai today. HDD rigs are specialist machines, and stock comes and goes as utility and pipeline contractors renew their fleets. A purchase request on Equipment Finders puts the requirement in front of verified suppliers across the market, at no cost to the buyer.
The market-wide page for the category is horizontal drilling rigs across the UAE, and the Dubai hub shows what is currently for sale in the emirate. To use a rig for a single bore, look at the horizontal drilling rig rental page.
When a rig is listed, the page shows the make, model, year, hours and the seller's phone and WhatsApp number. The buyer contacts the seller, inspects the machine and agrees the price directly. Equipment Finders does not hold funds or charge the buyer.
Small rigs for short crossings, service connections and cable ducts under roads, car parks and landscaped areas. They are the right size for the narrow plots and congested streets of urban Dubai.
The general utility class for longer bores under roads and canals for water, power and telecom lines. They need a larger working area and a mixing and recycling unit for the drilling fluid.
Heavy rigs for major pipeline and river crossings with large-diameter product pipe. They need a big site, strong support equipment and a specialist crew.
Match the pullback force to the longest, largest bore in the contract, with a margin for ground friction. Pipe diameter, bore length and soil type together set the pullback and torque needed. Sand and weak rock call for careful fluid planning.
Look at the whole spread, not the rig alone: drill pipe, a fluid mixing unit, a locating system and a vacuum or water supply. Check how much of this is included before comparing quotes. Allow for transport on a low-loader and the setting up of the rig at the entry pit.
With no rigs listed in Dubai today, there are no prices to report. When listings appear, the seller sets the price and either shows it on the listing or quotes on request. It depends on pullback force, year, hours and what is included in the package.
Quotes normally exclude VAT and transport, so confirm both.
When listings appear here, they will cover Dubai areas such as Al Quoz, Jebel Ali (JAFZA), Dubai Investments Park and Al Qusais. Until then, the Sharjah HDD rig page and the Abu Dhabi HDD rig page cover the neighbouring emirates, although stock may vary.
With nothing listed at the moment, post a purchase request stating the bore length, pipe diameter and pullback force needed. Suppliers reply directly, at no cost to the buyer.
No HDD rigs are listed for sale in Dubai today, so there is no price range to report. When one appears, the seller sets the price. It depends on pullback force, year, hours and tooling included, with VAT and transport normally extra.
Take the longest and widest bore in the contract and choose a rig whose pullback force covers it with a margin. Small rigs suit short urban crossings, mid-size rigs suit road and canal bores, and large rigs suit major pipelines.
A used rig is the usual route for a contractor building up a fleet, provided hours, drill pipe condition and service records are documented. New suits a company with a long programme that values warranty and dealer support.
Yes. See the rig operate and check the carriage and thrust system, the rotation unit, the clamps, the tracks and the engine hours. Inspect the drill pipe for wear and straightness and ask for the service history.
Expect a sale invoice, the seller's trade licence copy and the machine's import or ownership papers. Match the serial plate to the documents. The seller can explain any registration step for the rig or its support trailer.
Post a purchase request describing the rig size, pullback force, year range and budget. It appears on the inquiry board, where suppliers across the UAE can see it and reply by phone or WhatsApp. Posting is free.
