Today 556 cranes are listed for hire on EquipmentsFinder from 161 suppliers, 4 of them verified. Dubai holds the largest share with 256 listings, followed by Sharjah with 168 and Abu Dhabi with 91. Each listing shows the crane's type, capacity, year and location with the supplier's phone and WhatsApp number; renters pay EquipmentsFinder nothing.
Browse the listings and call the suppliers whose machines fit the lift, or post the lift details (capacity, radius, lift height, site access and dates) as a request so that suppliers across the UAE can respond with a quote.
The same process applies to every category on the equipment rental hub; open requests appear on the inquiry board.
Mobile cranes are by far the largest group at 427 listings, followed by crawler cranes at 62, spider cranes at 28, 4×4 cranes at 27, tower cranes at 9 and truck cranes at 2. Liebherr (134 listings), XCMG (87), Tadano (62), Sany (61), Terex (36), Kato (36) and Demag (23) are the most listed brands.
Mobile cranes travel on their own wheels or a truck chassis and set up quickly on site. They are the usual choice for general construction, and 427 are listed today. A crane built onto a standard truck chassis is the fastest to relocate between jobs; two truck cranes are listed at the moment.
All-terrain cranes combine road speed with off-road capability. Rough-terrain cranes run on large tyres on a four-wheel-drive carrier and are built for uneven ground rather than road travel, so they usually reach the site on a low-bed trailer. On EquipmentsFinder both sit under 4×4 cranes, with 27 listed today.
Crawler cranes run on tracks, which spreads the load and lets them work on soft ground where a wheeled crane cannot set up safely. They are often the choice for the heaviest lifts. There are 62 listed today.
Tower cranes are fixed to the ground or the structure and lift vertically to great heights, which makes them standard on high-rise construction. Nine tower cranes are listed today; because they are erected on site, hire periods are usually long.
A gantry crane lifts from a beam carried on legs at each end and is used in yards and workshops; it is not a separate category on EquipmentsFinder today, so a posted request is the way to reach suppliers who stock one.
Spider cranes are compact machines that fit through doorways and work indoors or on rooftops. They suit fit-outs, glazing and rooftop plant installation. 28 are listed today.
Capacity is driven by the lift, not by the site alone. The three figures that decide it are the load weight, the radius from the crane's centre to the load, and the height the load has to reach. Capacity falls quickly as the radius grows, so suppliers need all three figures.
As a rough guide, rooftop plant and signage lifts call for a smaller mobile crane, structural lifts of precast or steel on tall buildings call for a high-capacity mobile or crawler crane, and heavy industrial lifts of pipe racks or process modules usually call for the largest crawlers.
Whether an operator is included varies by supplier and is stated on the listing or confirmed when the supplier is contacted. Currently 3 crane listings state that an operator is offered; for the rest, ask whether the crane comes with an operator, a rigger or both. Heavy equipment operators need a valid licence for the machine class, and crane lifts on construction sites need a lift plan. Complex or tandem lifts typically need a rigging study as well; agree who prepares it and who supplies the rigging.
Rates depend on crane type and capacity, then on operator, mobilisation and hire duration. Where suppliers publish prices on EquipmentsFinder, daily rates currently run up to AED 14,000, with a typical rate around AED 2,200, across 21 priced listings. Monthly rates run up to AED 200,000, with a typical monthly rate around AED 31,000, across 22 priced listings.
The spread reflects the gap between a small spider crane and a heavy crawler, so the median is a better guide than the extremes. Quotes usually exclude VAT, mobilisation and rigging, so confirm the full cost with the supplier.
The cranes in Dubai number 256 listings today, the largest pool in the country, covering high-rise, industrial and port work.
Abu Dhabi has 91 cranes listed, 84 of them in Musaffah, the emirate's main industrial area, serving oil and gas, power and infrastructure projects.
Sharjah has 168 cranes listed, 143 in Sharjah city and 24 in Adh Dhayd, serving heavy transport and construction work.
Ajman has 15 cranes listed today, Ras Al Khaimah 14, Fujairah 10 and Umm Al Quwain 2. Dubai and Sharjah suppliers also travel to the Northern Emirates; confirm the mobilisation cost.
Construction projects hire cranes for structural steel, precast panels and building services; industrial sites use crawler and spider cranes for plant installation; oil, gas and energy projects around Musaffah lift process modules and pipe racks; and heavy transport operators hire cranes to load and position abnormal loads.
To get quotes from several suppliers at once, post a crane rental request with the capacity, lift details, site and dates. Suppliers across the UAE respond directly. Other machines are on the equipment rental hub; cranes for purchase are on the cranes for sale page.
| Type | Daily | Weekly | Monthly |

Cost depends on capacity, boom configuration, hire duration and whether an operator and rigging study are needed. Among the 21 listings that publish a daily rate today, prices run up to AED 14,000 with a typical rate around AED 2,200; monthly rates have a typical figure around AED 31,000. Most suppliers quote per lift, so request a quote with the lift details.
It depends on the load weight, the lift radius and the lift height, not just the site. The same crane handles far less at a long radius than close in. Give the supplier those three figures plus access and ground conditions, and they will recommend a capacity and crane type that covers the lift with a safety margin.
It varies by supplier. Currently 3 crane listings on EquipmentsFinder state that an operator is offered, and for the others the arrangement is confirmed when the supplier is contacted. Heavy equipment operators need a valid licence for the machine class, so ask whether the operator and a rigger are included in the quoted rate.
A mobile crane travels on wheels and is faster to move between sites and quicker to set up. A crawler crane runs on tracks, which spreads its weight and gives better stability on soft or uneven ground, at the cost of slower relocation and transport on a low-bed trailer. Mobile cranes make up 427 of today's listings and crawlers 62.
Crane lifts on construction sites need a lift plan. Larger or more complex lifts, such as tandem lifts or lifts close to existing structures, typically also need a rigging study. Confirm with the supplier who prepares these documents and whether the cost is included in the quote.
Daily hire is common for mobile and spider cranes, and 21 listings currently publish a daily rate. For a single day, mobilisation matters more than the day rate, because the crane still has to travel to and from the site. Tower and large crawler cranes are usually hired for longer periods because of set-up time.
Lead time depends on the crane type and the supplier's availability. Standard mobile cranes can often be arranged at short notice, while high-capacity cranes, tower cranes and lifts that need a rigging study take longer to plan. Post the request as early as the schedule allows and confirm timing with the supplier.
Every emirate has cranes listed today: Dubai 256, Sharjah 168, Abu Dhabi 91, Ajman 15, Ras Al Khaimah 14, Fujairah 10 and Umm Al Quwain 2. Suppliers based in Dubai and Sharjah also travel to the other emirates. Each listing states where the crane is based, so confirm coverage and mobilisation cost for the specific site when requesting a quote.
Requirements vary by supplier and by site. Suppliers commonly ask for a signed hire agreement and identification, and the site may require a lift plan and method statement before the crane can work. Confirm the exact documents with the supplier when agreeing the hire.
Operators supplied with a crane need a valid licence for the machine class, and riggers need the relevant lifting qualifications. Certification standards and any extra requirements for hazardous or specialised environments vary by supplier, so confirm the operator's and rigger's certificates directly with the supplier for the specific lift.
