18 engines are listed for sale in the UAE today from 4 suppliers. Caterpillar accounts for 5 of them, with single listings from Daewoo, Metso, Perkins and Volvo and the rest described by application rather than brand. 11 of the engines are in Sharjah and 7 in Dubai.
No listing currently carries a published price, so sellers quote on request. EquipmentsFinder charges buyers nothing and connects them to the seller by the phone and WhatsApp number on each listing. Complete generator sets are listed separately on the buy hub, and engines to hire appear on the engine rental page.
The grid above lists the 18 engines. Open a listing for the make, model, rated power, hours, whether the engine is complete with its cooling package and electronics, and the seller's contact. Because none of the listings shows a price, the first call to the seller should establish the figure and what it covers.
The marketplace charges no commission and takes no part in the transaction. The engine trade in the UAE is largely used and rebuilt units from Sharjah workshops, and none of the four sellers in this category is verified today, so an inspection and a check of the seller's licence are worth doing.
Most of the listings are diesel engines removed from generator sets, trucks or earthmoving machines, offered as replacements. A Caterpillar 3406 or C-series engine, for example, fits generators, trucks and excavators alike, which keeps demand steady. The listing should state whether the engine is a running take-out, a rebuilt unit or a core for rebuilding.
Engines set up for marine propulsion or for driving irrigation and dewatering pumps come with heat exchangers, a gearbox or a clutch housing in place of the standard flywheel housing. They suit the fishing and workboat fleets of the coastal emirates and the pump contractors on reclamation sites. Ask the seller how the engine was previously used, since the ancillaries decide what it can be bolted to.
A power unit is a complete engine on a base frame with radiator, fuel tank, control panel and a power take-off, ready to drive a crusher, a screen, a compressor or a batching plant. Listings that mention Metso usually refer to such a unit from a crushing plant. These sell as a package and save the buyer the cost of assembling the cooling and control systems.
Start with the duty the engine must perform and its rating basis. A generator engine needs the correct speed, 1,500 rpm for 50 Hz, and a prime or standby rating that matches the alternator. A replacement for a truck or excavator must match the original engine family, mounts, flywheel housing and electronic control unit, so note the original engine's arrangement number from its plate.
Power output on a replacement should equal or slightly exceed the original; an undersized engine will overheat and an oversized one can overload the driven machine's transmission. In the UAE's heat, specify a cooling package rated for 50 degrees ambient and check that the fan and radiator are included in the sale rather than retained by the seller.
None of the 18 engines listed today carries a published price, so no range or typical figure can be given. Sellers quote on request. The price depends on the make and model, whether the engine is a running take-out, a rebuild with new liners and bearings, or a core, and on what ancillaries are included.
When asking for a quote, confirm whether the figure includes the radiator, turbocharger, starter, alternator and ECU, whether a warranty on a rebuild is offered, and whether VAT and delivery are extra. A rebuilt Caterpillar engine with a workshop warranty costs more than a take-out of unknown hours, and the difference is usually worth paying for a machine that will go back to work.
7 engines are listed in Dubai, shown on the Dubai engine page. Dubai sellers are typically fleet operators and generator companies disposing of surplus units.
No engines are listed in Abu Dhabi today. The Abu Dhabi engine page updates as sellers post, and Sharjah workshops regularly ship engines to Musaffah by truck.
11 of the 18 engines are in Sharjah, where most of the UAE's engine rebuilding workshops are based. See the Sharjah engine page.
Nothing is listed in these four emirates today. The Sharjah workshops are close to Ajman and Umm Al Quwain, and a purchase request reaches sellers across the country.
For a specific engine model or arrangement that is not listed, post a purchase request with the make, model, arrangement number and application. Workshops and dealers across the UAE reply with offers, free of charge.
None of the 18 engines listed today has a published price, so the seller quotes on request. The figure depends on make and model, rated power, whether the engine is a running take-out, a rebuild or a core, and which ancillaries come with it. Ask whether a rebuild warranty is included and whether VAT and delivery are extra.
Match the engine family, arrangement, flywheel housing and electronics to the machine it will go into, and the rated power to the original at the correct speed. A generator engine runs at 1,500 rpm for 50 Hz. For a pump or crusher drive, a complete power unit with radiator and controls saves assembly work.
A rebuilt engine from a Sharjah workshop with new liners, pistons and bearings and a written warranty is the usual choice for keeping an older truck, generator or excavator working. Buy new from the brand dealer when the machine is recent and still under support, or when downtime on a critical generator is costly.
Yes, and a run test is essential. Ask the seller to start the engine on a test stand, check oil pressure, blow-by at the breather, exhaust smoke colour and coolant for oil contamination. Inspect the serial plate, turbocharger shaft play and the condition of the ECU connectors if the engine is electronic.
A sale invoice from the seller and a copy of their trade licence are the standard documents. Engines carry no registration, so there is no transfer process. Record the engine serial number and arrangement number from the plate on the invoice, and get the rebuild warranty and the parts list in writing if a rebuild is being bought.
Caterpillar leads with 5 of the 18 listings. Daewoo, Metso, Perkins and Volvo have 1 each, and the remaining listings describe the engine by application. Caterpillar and Perkins engines are the most widely supported in the UAE, with dealer parts available in every emirate.
