There is no trailer on offer for hire in Asir at present. That leaves a gap in a region where a lot depends on them: every excavator, loader or roller that works on a hillside site had to arrive on a trailer, and every cube of block or bundle of rebar rides up the mountain on one too. A trailer request describing the load will reach owners elsewhere in Saudi Arabia.
The climb from the coastal plain to Abha is long, and what a trailer does on it is a matter of brakes and hitch geometry. Trailers with good braking on every axle behave much better than ones that depend on the tractor alone, and a low-bed with a steep ramp angle can scrape on sharp changes of gradient. Suppliers with mountain experience pick tractor units with enough power and a retarder for the descent.
Width and length bring their own limits. Narrow hairpins can make a long trailer impossible to place, so give the supplier the most difficult bend or turn on the route.
Rates in SAR are given per trip, per day or per month, with a distance charge or tractor and driver on top. Ask whether the escort needed for oversized cargo is included and whether VAT is added. If a machine is waiting at the bottom of the escarpment for a weather window, agree beforehand how the delay is charged.
For stock across the country see the trailers for rent page, and the Makkah Region trailers as the nearest regional list. The Asir rental hub links the other machine groups, and trailer owners may post a listing.
None is listed today. Send a request with the machine's weight and dimensions.
Bends, gradients and bridges decide which trailer can pass, so the supplier needs the exact path.
Often, but not always. Check whether the quote covers tractor, driver and fuel.
They may need permits or escorts. Ask the supplier who arranges them.
Agree standby terms before the job starts. Fog or heavy rain can hold a trailer back.
Give weight, length, width and height, plus the pick-up and drop-off points.
