United Arab Emirates
No cranes are listed for sale in Jeddah today. Anyone wanting to own a crane for work around the city can post a purchase request stating the type, capacity and budget, and sellers elsewhere in Saudi Arabia may answer with a machine they can move to the coast.
Cranes advertised in other parts of the Kingdom appear on the cranes for sale page. If the lift is a one-off, crane hire in Jeddah avoids tying up capital.
A city with a major Red Sea port, high-rise towers and waterfront schemes keeps heavy lifting in steady demand. Port-side contractors, steel erectors and fabricators in the industrial cities south of Jeddah are the usual owners, since a crane that works most weeks pays back faster than one hired in. Tower cranes belong to the build programme and rarely change hands; mobile and truck-mounted cranes are the ones that circulate.
A crane's value rests on its structure and its records. Ask to see the load chart for the exact boom configuration, the latest thorough examination certificate and the maintenance log. On the machine itself, look for cracks near boom welds, worn sheaves, frayed rope, leaking outrigger cylinders and play in the slew ring. Salt-laden Jeddah air accelerates rust on rope and pins, so check these closely if the crane has lived near the sea.
Rated tonnage is quoted at minimum radius. Think about the heaviest load you will lift and how far from the machine it will sit, then read the chart rather than the headline number. Over-buying capacity costs more to buy, move and operate; under-buying makes the crane unusable for the job it was bought for.
Expect a VAT invoice, proof of ownership, the chassis or serial number matching the plate and, for a road-registered crane, a transfer of registration. Examination certificates may need renewing after a sale, so agree who arranges that.
List the capacity, boom length, carrier type, age range and where it must work. Owners with a crane to sell can place an ad, and wider demand is visible on the inquiry board.
Not on this site. A request is the way forward, since it reaches sellers outside the city too.
Ask for the model, year, hours, the latest examination certificate and recent photographs of the boom and slew ring. Those answers filter out unsuitable machines before you spend a day on the road.
Truck-mounted cranes move between yards quickly and suit short lifts, while wheeled mobile cranes offer more capacity and stability on prepared ground. Your heaviest lift decides.
Yes. Hiring through the crane rental page lets you keep working while the search continues.
The buyer arranges it. A qualified crane inspector can examine structure and safety devices, and the result gives you leverage in price talks.
No. EquipmentsFinder connects buyers and sellers; condition, price and warranty are agreed between them in writing.
