24 skid steers are listed for sale in the UAE today, from 11 sellers, 1 of them verified. Bobcat is the dominant make with 14 listings, followed by Caterpillar (4), Case (2) and New Holland (1). Every machine currently advertised is in Sharjah emirate: 22 in Sharjah city and 2 in Al Hamriyah, which is where the traders who import and recondition compact equipment are based.
Skid steers earn their keep on jobs too tight for a wheel loader: backfilling around footings, clearing debris inside buildings under construction, loading skips in villa compounds and spreading sand on landscaping works. The listings on this page range from 2006 machines through to 2019 models, so there is a choice between a cheap workhorse and a late-model loader with hours left on it. Skid steers for hire cover the short jobs.
Every listing is placed by the owner or trader selling the machine and shows its photos, year, hours, location and the seller's phone and WhatsApp number. Buyers use the site free and pay no commission; EquipmentsFinder is a marketplace, so the negotiation, inspection and payment happen between buyer and seller. Narrow the grid by brand or price, read the listing, and message the seller to arrange a viewing at the yard. Sellers list free of charge and may pay for a plan that promotes their listings, and the buy hub links to the other categories for sale.
The listings are not split into wheeled and tracked subcategories, so look at the photos and model code. Bobcat S-series and Caterpillar 2xx models are wheeled; Bobcat T-series and Caterpillar 2xx models ending in 9 or D with rubber tracks are compact track loaders.
The standard machine for hard surfaces: concrete slabs, asphalt yards, paved compounds and warehouse floors. Wheels are cheap to replace, the machine is fast on firm ground, and it turns in its own length by skidding, which is where the name comes from. Most of the Bobcat and Case units on this page are wheeled.
Rubber tracks spread the weight over a much larger footprint, so the machine works on loose sand, soft landscaping soil and wet ground where a wheeled unit would dig in. Tracks and undercarriage parts cost more to maintain, which is why a tracked machine of the same age usually carries a higher asking price.
Rated operating capacity is the figure to compare: it is half the tipping load, and it must exceed the heaviest bucket of material or pallet the machine will carry. Small-frame machines under 700 kg capacity pass through standard doorways and lift onto a pickup-sized trailer; medium frames of 700 to 1,000 kg are the usual choice for general construction; large frames above 1,000 kg run heavier attachments like cold planers and trenchers. Check the lift arm pins, the drive chains or motors, the tyres or tracks and the hydraulic quick coupler, and confirm the hour meter reading matches the wear.
Much of a skid steer's value lies in what fits on the front. A general-purpose bucket is standard; pallet forks turn the machine into a yard forklift, augers drill fence-post and pile holes, grapples handle demolition debris, and a sweeper keeps site roads clean. The universal quick-attach plate is common across brands, so attachments from one listing will usually fit another machine. Ask the seller which attachments are included, because a bucket and forks together can add a meaningful amount to the price.
9 of the 24 skid steers listed today carry a published price. Asking prices currently run from AED 34,000 to AED 177,000, with a typical figure around AED 52,000. The lower part of that band is older wheeled Bobcat machines from 2006 to 2013, while the top end is late-model tracked loaders with low hours and attachments included.
Prices are set by each seller and may or may not include VAT, so confirm this before agreeing. Delivery from Sharjah to a site elsewhere in the UAE is normally quoted separately; a skid steer fits on a small trailer, so transport is inexpensive compared with larger plant.
All 24 machines currently listed are in Sharjah emirate, 22 of them in Sharjah city and 2 in Al Hamriyah. The skid steers for sale in Sharjah page shows the same stock, and a buyer can inspect most of the Bobcat machines on this page within a single afternoon in the industrial areas.
No skid steers are listed in Dubai today, although Sharjah yards are a short drive away and deliver into Dubai routinely. The Dubai page updates as machines are posted.
There are no listings in these emirates at present. Check the Abu Dhabi page for new stock, or post a request so that sellers across the UAE can respond with machines they have not yet advertised.
If the 24 machines listed today do not match the size, drive type or budget required, post a request with the operating capacity, wheeled or tracked preference, attachments and delivery emirate. Sellers across the UAE reply directly, at no cost to the buyer.

Based on the 9 priced listings today, skid steers in the UAE are advertised from AED 34,000 to AED 177,000, with a typical asking price around AED 52,000. Older wheeled Bobcat machines sit at the lower end, late-model compact track loaders with attachments at the top. Confirm with the seller whether VAT and delivery are included.
A wheeled machine suits hard, paved sites and costs less to run; a tracked loader is the right choice for sand, soft ground and landscaping. Size by rated operating capacity: under 700 kg for indoor and villa work, 700 to 1,000 kg for general construction, and above 1,000 kg if heavy attachments such as planers or trenchers will be used.
A new skid steer brings a warranty and dealer support at a price that suits a contractor running the machine daily for years. The used machines on this page, from 2006 through 2019 models, cost far less and are available immediately. Check the hours, drive system, lift arm pins and tyres or tracks before buying, as these are the costly wear items.
Yes, and the Sharjah yards expect it. Contact the seller through the listing, then at the viewing run the machine, lift the arms fully, operate the auxiliary hydraulics, check for play in the arm pins, and look at the drive chains or motors for leaks. Ask to see the hour meter and compare it with the pedal and seat wear.
Skid steers are off-road plant rather than registered vehicles, so the usual paperwork is a signed invoice or sale agreement quoting the serial number, a copy of the seller's trade licence and a payment receipt. Ask for any original import papers and the attachment list in writing. Agree on delivery and VAT in the same document.
Bobcat accounts for 14 of the 24 machines listed, reflecting its long presence in the UAE compact-equipment market. Caterpillar has 4 listings, Case 2 and New Holland 1. Bobcat's share means parts, attachments and mechanics familiar with the S and T series are easy to find across the emirates.
