United Arab Emirates
3 listings available
3 lifting machines are listed for hire in Riyadh today, from 2 suppliers, neither of them verified yet. Two are scissor lifts and one is a forklift, and the brands across the three listings are Genie, JLG and Toyota. Two of the machines were built in 2024 and one in 2018. The scissor lifts page and the forklifts page show them with their full details.
The Saudi Arabia lifting equipment page covers the whole Kingdom, the Makkah Region and Dammam Eastern Province pages cover those regions, and the Riyadh rental hub lists every category advertised in the city.
Each listing gives the machine, its year and the supplier's phone and WhatsApp details. Contact the supplier with the task, the load or working height, the site and the dates, and agree the rate and delivery with them. EquipmentsFinder charges the renter nothing and takes no commission; suppliers place their listings free.
Hoists, winches, rigging gear and other lifting items are not listed in Riyadh at present. For those, and for more scissor lifts or forklifts than the three on offer, a request on the inquiry board reaches suppliers across Saudi Arabia.
A scissor lift raises a wide platform vertically for crews working on ceilings, ductwork, lighting and cladding. Electric models work indoors on finished floors; rough-terrain models run outside on graded ground. Two scissor lifts are listed in Riyadh today, and each listing gives the working height and platform capacity.
A forklift moves pallets, bagged materials and equipment around warehouses, yards and sites. One forklift is listed in Riyadh today. Its listing gives the rated capacity and mast height, which should be checked against the heaviest pallet and the highest rack.
Chain hoists lift loads vertically from a beam, gantry or tripod in workshops, plant rooms and on steelwork. Manual hoists need no power; electric hoists speed up repeated lifts. None is listed in Riyadh today.
Winches pull or lift loads by wire rope, for hauling cable, positioning equipment or recovery work. They are sourced by request at present.
Slings, shackles and spreader beams connect the load to the hook, and hydraulic jacks raise heavy items a short distance for packing or alignment. Each item must carry its safe working load and a current inspection record, which the supplier provides.
Start with the weight and dimensions of the heaviest load and where it must go. A scissor lift is rated for the combined weight of people, tools and material on the platform, not for lifting heavy items into place. A forklift's rated capacity applies at a set load centre and falls as the forks are raised or the load sits further out, so check the capacity chart on the mast.
For hoists, slings and jacks, choose a rated capacity above the load with a margin for the rigging and any dynamic effects. Crane lifts on construction sites need a lift plan; for other lifts, the same discipline of knowing the load and the route is good practice. Check ground and floor capacity too, because a loaded forklift or scissor lift puts high point loads on slabs and paving.
Too few of the Riyadh listings publish a rate for a typical SAR figure to be given, so prices come from each supplier. Scissor lifts and forklifts are usually hired by the day, the week or the month, and the daily rate is lower on longer hires. Small items such as hoists and slings are hired by the week or bundled into a package.
Delivery and collection, charging or fuel, an operator and VAT can each be separate. Ask for each in the quote, along with the inspection certificate for the machine or gear.
All 3 listed machines are in Riyadh city, and each supplier confirms delivery terms when contacted. Scissor lifts and forklifts are moved on a flatbed or beavertail truck, so sites across the city and Riyadh Province can generally be reached, with the charge set by distance. New listings in the capital will appear in the grid above.
For a type or size not listed, post the job through the post a request form and it appears on the inquiry board for suppliers to answer. Owners with lifting equipment idle in Riyadh can list it free, and machines for purchase are on the lifting equipment for sale page.
Only one of the 3 Riyadh listings shows a rate, too few for a typical SAR figure. Suppliers price scissor lifts and forklifts by the day, week or month, with lower daily rates on longer terms, and smaller gear by the week. Delivery, an operator, fuel or charging and VAT can be extra, so ask for them in the quote.
For people working at height on ceilings or facades, a scissor lift is the usual choice. For moving pallets and materials around a yard or warehouse, a forklift. For lifting a load vertically from a beam in a plant room, a chain hoist, and for pulling or hauling, a winch. The load, the height and the space decide.
Scissor lifts and forklifts are often hired bare, with the renter's trained staff operating them, but some suppliers provide an operator. The listing or the supplier's reply states which. Anyone driving a forklift or other heavy equipment needs a valid licence for the machine class, and hoists and rigging should be used by people trained in slinging.
Day hire is common for scissor lifts and forklifts, particularly for a short installation or a delivery that needs unloading. Delivery and collection can make a single day relatively expensive, and some suppliers set a minimum term. Ask for the day rate and the transport cost together before booking.
The 3 machines listed today are all in Riyadh city, and their suppliers confirm where they deliver. Scissor lifts and forklifts travel on a flatbed or beavertail truck, so sites across the city and the wider Province can usually be served, with the charge rising with distance. Give the site location when contacting them.
The 3 listings in Riyadh today carry the Genie, JLG and Toyota brands, one machine each. Two are 2024 models and one dates from 2018. Each listing shows the machine's specification, and the supplier can confirm its inspection status and service history before the hire is agreed.
