No horizontal drilling rigs are listed for sale in Riyadh today. Utility and pipeline contractors in the capital can post a purchase request on EquipmentsFinder, which is passed to verified suppliers across Saudi Arabia, and receive offers by phone or WhatsApp.
HDD rigs from all regions are on the horizontal drilling rigs for sale page, and the category can be checked for the Makkah Region and the Dammam Eastern Province. Other equipment for sale in the capital is on the Riyadh sale hub, and a rig for a single crossing can be sourced through HDD rig hire.
A seller lists the rig with its make, model, year, hours, thrust and pullback rating and the tooling and mud system included, with a price if they choose. The buyer contacts the seller from the listing, inspects the rig running and agrees the deal directly. Buyers pay EquipmentsFinder nothing, no commission is taken on the sale, and listing a rig is free.
Compact rigs bore short shots for fibre, power and water service lines under roads, driveways and pavements. They fit narrow streets in Riyadh city and move on a small trailer with a light mud mixer.
Mid-size rigs handle longer crossings and larger ducts and pipes under highways, wadis and rail lines. They need a full drilling fluid system, a tracking crew and space for pipe stringing on the exit side.
Large rigs pull back big-diameter steel and plastic pipelines over long distances for water, gas and oil networks. They come with a separate mud recycling plant, power pack and pipe handling, and are moved as a spread on several trucks.
Size the rig by the longest bore, the largest reamed hole and the heaviest pipe to be pulled back, and keep a margin on thrust, pullback and torque. Ground matters as much as length: sand needs good drilling fluid to hold the hole, while limestone and harder rock call for a mud motor or rock tooling and more torque. Check the rig's tracking system compatibility and how spare parts and tooling are sourced.
No local price can be given while no rig is listed. Each seller sets an asking price in Saudi riyals, either printed on the listing or quoted by phone. Pullback and torque rating, make, year, hours, rod stock, tooling and the mud system move the price. Confirm VAT and transport terms with the seller.
Rigs offered in Riyadh city and across Riyadh Province will show here as sellers post them. Delivery to a utility job in Olaya, North Riyadh or Al Kharj is arranged with the seller.
A request giving the bore lengths, pipe sizes, ground and budget lets sellers reply with suitable rigs. Other buyers' requests are on the inquiry board, and an owner with a rig to sell in Riyadh can post an ad free of charge.
Riyadh has no horizontal drilling rigs listed today, so no local asking price exists yet. An HDD rig is valued on its pullback and torque rating, make, year and hours, and on what comes with it, such as drill rods, reamers, a mud system and tracking gear. Sellers elsewhere in Saudi Arabia price some listings and quote others on request.
Work from the bores the rig will drill: the longest crossing, the largest product pipe and the ground. Service lines in city streets suit a compact rig, road and wadi crossings need a mid-size machine, and transmission pipelines call for a large rig. Keep a margin on pullback and torque for harder ground than the survey suggests.
A used rig costs less and can start work sooner, but the carriage, rod loader, vice, rotation gearbox and hydraulic pumps carry the wear. Drill rods wear too, and a full rod set is a large cost. A new rig comes with a warranty and support. Many contractors buy used and budget for rods and tooling.
Yes, and the rig should be run, ideally on a test bore. Check thrust and pullback, rotation, the vice and the rod loader, look for leaks and cracks on the frame and carriage, and inspect rod threads for wear. Compare the hours with the listing and ask for the service history. An engineer can check a rig in another region first.
A sales invoice in the buyer's name, the seller's proof of ownership and a serial number matching the rig's plate are the main documents. Ask for a written list of rods, tooling and the mud system, plus manuals and service records. Confirm VAT treatment and any import papers for a rig brought from abroad with the seller.
That depends on the seller, and the listing or a call to the seller will say what is included. Compact rigs are often sold with a small mixer, while larger rigs may come with or without a mud recycling plant. The fluid system is essential for most ground in Riyadh Province, so agree what is included before the price is settled.
