2 listings available
Two aerial platforms are listed for hire in Riyadh today, each from a different supplier. Both are JLG boom lifts, one from 2018 and one from 2024, and both are located in Riyadh city. Neither supplier carries the verified badge yet, and neither listing includes an operator.
With only two machines on the page, a contractor who needs a scissor lift, a mast lift or several units at once will usually do better by also checking the aerial platform listings across Saudi Arabia or posting a request, described at the end of this page.
Hiring a platform through Equipment Finders takes a few direct steps, with no booking fee and no commission on the hire.
At the last step, also ask for the machine's latest inspection certificate, since site safety teams may want to see it before the platform is allowed to work.
The two current Riyadh listings are both boom lifts. The other types below appear on the Saudi site and can be requested when a Riyadh supplier does not have one listed.
A scissor lift raises a wide, flat deck straight up on a folding frame. It carries a small crew with materials and suits ceiling installation, ductwork and sprinkler fitting over a level floor, where its stability and large deck matter more than reach.
An articulating boom has a jointed arm that can rise, bend forward and reach over an obstacle such as a parapet, a mezzanine edge or a run of pipework. It is the usual choice where the work point cannot be reached from directly below.
A telescopic boom extends in a straight line and gives the most height and horizontal outreach for its footprint. It suits facade cleaning and cladding, steel connections and signage on tall buildings where the machine has to stand well back from the structure.
A mast lift is a compact one-person platform on a single vertical mast. It fits through standard doorways and into service lifts, which makes it practical for maintenance inside offices, malls and warehouses.
Manufacturers quote two heights. Platform height is the floor of the basket, and working height is a little higher, allowing for a person's reach above the rail. Size the machine on working height, then add a margin rather than hiring a platform that only just reaches.
Platform capacity is the total weight of people, tools and materials the basket can carry, and on many booms it falls as the arm extends further out. Check the load chart for the outreach the job needs. Ground conditions matter as much as height: a heavy boom on soft fill or over a basement slab may need spreader plates or a check by the site engineer.
Electric platforms run quietly and produce no exhaust, so they are the normal choice inside malls, hangars and finished buildings. They need overnight charging, so ask the supplier how long a full charge lasts under the planned workload.
Diesel and four-wheel-drive models carry rough-terrain tyres and more ground clearance for open sites. They suit outdoor work on compacted ground, but exhaust rules them out of enclosed spaces. Summer heat in Riyadh also shortens battery life and working hours, so plan shifts and charging around it.
Neither Riyadh listing publishes a rate today, so there is no typical figure to quote. Each supplier sets its own price in SAR and quotes it on request. Ask for daily, weekly and monthly rates together, and confirm whether delivery and collection, charging or fuel, an operator and VAT are included. For longer facade or fit-out jobs, give the full expected duration when asking, since the term affects the rate.
Both current listings are in Riyadh city. Whether a supplier will take a boom lift out to a site elsewhere in Riyadh Province, and at what transport cost, is agreed on the call. Contractors can also compare aerial platforms in the Makkah Region and the Dammam Eastern Province, or go back to all equipment for hire in Riyadh.
If the two listings here do not fit the height, type or dates, post a rental request with the working height, the type of work and the site location. Verified suppliers across Saudi Arabia receive it and reply directly, and posting costs nothing.

Start from the working height and how far the basket must reach past any obstacle, then add a safety margin. Check the platform capacity for the people, tools and materials going up, and confirm the ground can carry the machine. A scissor lift suits straight-up work over a level floor; a boom suits reach over edges.
Neither current Riyadh listing includes an operator, so the hire is for the machine alone unless the supplier agrees otherwise. Some suppliers can arrange an operator at extra cost, confirmed when you contact them. Whoever runs the platform needs a valid licence for that class of equipment and should be familiar with the specific model.
Minimum hire periods vary by supplier and are stated on the listing or confirmed by phone. Smaller platforms are more often available by the day, while large booms may carry a minimum term because of transport. For a single day of work, ask for the delivered price, since transport can be a large share of the cost.
Both current listings are in Riyadh city, and each supplier decides how far it will deliver. Sites across the city are the simplest to serve, while sites elsewhere in Riyadh Province usually carry a higher transport charge. Give the exact site location when asking for a quote so the supplier can price delivery and collection.
Both machines listed in Riyadh today are JLG boom lifts, one built in 2018 and one in 2024. Other brands and types, including scissor lifts and mast lifts, can be found by searching listings across Saudi Arabia or by posting a request that suppliers in other regions can answer.
