No drilling machines or rigs are listed for hire in Saudi Arabia today. The category spans the rotary rigs that bore piles for towers and bridges, the truck-mounted rigs that drill water wells for farms and camps, and the smaller coring machines used for soil investigation before any of that starts.
A posted request with the ground conditions, the hole diameter and depth and the number of holes reaches verified suppliers across the Kingdom. The Riyadh, Makkah Region and Dammam Eastern Province pages show regional listings as they arrive, and the drilling rigs for sale page covers purchase.
EquipmentsFinder charges renters nothing and takes no commission. When listings appear here, each will show the rig type, its torque or depth rating, the tooling supplied and the year, with the supplier's phone and WhatsApp number for direct contact. Most drilling hire is agreed as a rate per metre drilled or per shift, so the renter's job is to describe the holes accurately and let the supplier propose the rig and the tooling.
Large tracked rigs with a kelly bar and a rotary head that bore large-diameter holes for foundation piles, retaining walls and shafts. The heavy end of the category.
Rigs built for driven, bored or CFA piles on building and infrastructure sites, often hired as a package with the crew, casings and augers.
Truck-mounted rotary or down-the-hole hammer rigs that drill through sand and rock to the aquifer, used for farms, camps, remote sites and municipal supply.
Compact rigs that recover rock and soil cores for geotechnical investigation, and the hand-held and stand-mounted machines that core concrete for services and testing.
The ground decides the rig. Sand and gravel near the coast need casing or a stabilising fluid to keep the hole open, while the limestone and hard rock of the central plateau calls for a down-the-hole hammer or rock augers and more torque. Depth and diameter set the mast height and the pull-back force, and the number of holes decides whether a tracked rig that moves itself between positions or a truck rig that drives between sites is the better choice.
No rig is listed in the Kingdom today, so there are no SAR rates to report. When suppliers list, rates are set by each supplier and shown on the listing where published, and drilling is commonly priced per metre, per shift or per month depending on the rig. Mobilisation, the crew, tooling and consumables such as bits, casings and drilling fluid, fuel and VAT vary by supplier and are confirmed with the quote.
No supplier is listed in Riyadh, the Makkah Region or Dammam Eastern Province today. Piling rigs follow the high-rise and infrastructure work of Riyadh and Jeddah, water-well rigs work the farming areas and remote camps, and investigation rigs go wherever a project is being planned. A request that states the site location lets a supplier with a rig already in the region reply without a long mobilisation.
No drilling rigs are listed for hire in Saudi Arabia today, so no typical rate can be stated. When listings appear, the supplier's rate is shown on the listing where published, often as a price per metre drilled or per shift rather than a flat daily hire. Mobilisation, crew, tooling and consumables are usually quoted as separate items.
Describe the holes rather than the rig: diameter, depth, number and spacing, plus what the ground is made of. A supplier reads those against the torque, pull-back and mast height of its rigs and proposes the smallest machine that will reach depth in that ground. Hard rock and deep piles push the choice towards larger rotary rigs.
In most cases yes, because the crew and the rig are hired together, but it varies by supplier and is stated on the listing or confirmed when the supplier is contacted. Operators need a valid licence for the machine class, and a drilling crew normally includes a driller and one or two helpers whose hours are part of the quote.
Small core drilling machines can be hired by the day for concrete coring and shallow sampling. Piling and water-well rigs take time to mobilise and set up, so suppliers quote a minimum scope, usually a number of holes or metres, rather than a single day. For one or two holes, a supplier already working nearby is the practical option.
No supplier is listed in the Kingdom today, so coverage cannot be stated. Tracked rigs travel on a low-bed and truck-mounted rigs drive themselves, with mobilisation charged by distance in both cases. A posted request that names the site lets suppliers in Riyadh, the Makkah Region or Dammam Eastern Province quote with mobilisation included.
The hole diameter and depth, the number of holes, the ground conditions or a site investigation report, the site access and working space, the water supply available and the dates. With those, a supplier can choose the rig and tooling, estimate the metres per shift and give a complete price instead of a provisional one.
