No crane is listed for hire in Madinah or Yanbu at the moment. If a lift is coming up, the quickest step is to post a lift request stating the load, the radius and the date; suppliers in other parts of the Kingdom can then offer a machine and a crew.
Cranes listed anywhere in Saudi Arabia are collected on the cranes for rent page, and the Madinah hire hub covers the rest of the region's plant.
Construction in Madinah tends to mean towers beside live streets: hotels, serviced apartments and public buildings where the crane must work around traffic and pedestrians. Positioning is often the hardest part of the lift, so a supplier needs a site sketch or photographs before proposing a model. Night lifts are common where daytime access is restricted.
On the Red Sea coast the picture changes. Yanbu's petrochemical and industrial sites need cranes for turnarounds, vessel changes and pipe-rack erection, usually under a permit system with its own induction rules. Salt air also reaches booms and wire rope, which is worth asking a supplier about.
Capacity falls as the boom extends, so ask for the load chart at the real radius, not just the headline tonnage.
Quotes can differ on operator, rigger, mobilisation, standby time and VAT. Hot summers affect how many hours a crew can work in the open, so agree the shifts. Over long roads between Madinah and the coast, travel time may be charged.
Describe the lift in a request, or if you own a crane and have capacity near Madinah or Yanbu, list it here. Buyers considering ownership can see cranes for sale in Madinah.
None is listed. A request describing the lift lets suppliers elsewhere propose a crane.
The weight and dimensions of the load, the lift height, the radius from the crane to the load, the ground type and the dates.
Few suppliers release a crane without their own operator. The quote states what crew is included.
Often. Narrow streets and neighbouring buildings can rule out large cranes, so describe access in the request.
Wheeled cranes can drive to site, and crawler cranes arrive by trailer. Either adds transport time to the hire.
Construction and industrial sites generally require one. Agree early whether the supplier or the main contractor prepares it.
