168 cranes are listed for hire in Sharjah today from 34 suppliers, none of them verified yet. Sharjah city holds 143 of the machines and Adh Dhayd 24. Cranes are the largest category in the emirate, and the yards that hold them also trade used units, so a hire can lead to a purchase if the machine suits.
Each listing gives the type, make, year and location, with the supplier's phone and WhatsApp number. Cranes in the other emirates are on the UAE crane page, and the Dubai crane page covers stock in Dubai.
Open a listing and call the supplier, or post the lift as a request. A useful request gives the load weight, the radius, the lift height, the site and the dates, so a supplier can propose a crane that clears the lift. Open requests are on the inquiry board.
EquipmentsFinder charges renters nothing and takes no commission. With 34 suppliers behind 168 cranes, the average yard holds around five, so one call can often cover several sizes.
Liebherr is the most listed make with 34 cranes, then XCMG and Tadano (19 each), Sany (15), Demag (14), Terex (13) and Kato (9). Another 24 are filed under other makes.
Mobile cranes are the main group with 120 listings. They drive to site, set the outriggers and lift, which suits jobs of a day or a few weeks, such as setting plant on a roof or lifting a fabricated frame in the industrial areas. The listing or supplier says whether a crane is an all-terrain, truck-mounted or other carrier, since Sharjah does not split these into separate types.
4×4 cranes number 7. With large tyres and four-wheel drive they work on unmade ground, such as a plot before it is surfaced. They often travel to site on a low-bed trailer.
Crawler cranes number 13. Tracks spread the load on soft ground and allow heavy lifts. Set-up takes longer, and hires are measured in weeks rather than days.
Tower cranes number 8. They are erected on the site and rise with the building, so they are a project decision rather than a one-day hire. State the tower height, the jib length and the programme in a request.
Spider cranes number 20. These compact tracked machines with outriggers handle glazing, plant and lifts inside buildings or through narrow openings.
The capacity printed on a crane is its maximum, reached only with the load close to the machine. Every metre of added reach cuts what it can carry, so the weight, the radius and the height must be read together from the load chart. A modest load can call for a big crane when the crane has to stand well back.
Then note the ground strength, the space for outriggers and any cables or structures overhead. With those, a supplier can propose a machine and say whether tracks or a compact spider would work better than wheels.
Whether a crane comes with a driver, a rigger or a banksman differs from yard to yard, and the supplier confirms it. Only one of the 168 Sharjah cranes states that an operator is offered. Heavy equipment operators need a valid licence for the machine class, and crane lifts on construction sites need a lift plan, so decide early who prepares it and who brings the slings and spreaders.
Only one Sharjah crane publishes a daily rate and one a monthly rate, which is too few for a typical price, so rates are set by each supplier and given in the quote. Price depends mainly on capacity and type, then on hire period, mobilisation and crew.
Ask for a quote that shows the hire, the mobilisation, the operator and the rigging separately, so offers from several yards compare fairly. Ask also whether VAT is included.
The years listed most often are 2019 (5 cranes), then 2013, 2017 and 2018 (3 each). A crane may have several owners over its life, so ask for its history in writing.
Before hiring, or buying after a hire, ask for the thorough examination certificate, the load-test record and the service history, with the hours of the engine and of the crane. Inspect the boom for damage, the wire rope, the hook block and the outrigger pads. For a possible purchase, cranes for sale shows what else is on the market, and the supplier can say what paperwork comes with a transfer or an export.
Cranes are held in Sharjah city (143) and Adh Dhayd (24). They serve work in the Sharjah Industrial Areas (1-18), Al Sajaa, Hamriyah Free Zone and Al Hamriyah Port, and the SAIF Zone logistics area. The yard location sets the mobilisation charge, so ask for it to be priced to the exact site.
Cranes in Sharjah are hired for building and infrastructure work, for installing machinery and tanks in factories and warehouses, and for loading heavy items onto trailers at the port and free zones. Specialist sites often need an induction and documents beforehand, so name the site type in the request.
Post a crane request with the capacity, lift details, site and dates, and Sharjah suppliers respond directly.
Only one Sharjah crane publishes a daily rate and one a monthly rate, so there is no typical figure. Price depends on capacity, hire period, operator, rigging and mobilisation. Request a quote that states what is included and whether VAT is added.
Start with three numbers: how heavy the load is, how far from the crane it must be placed, and how high. Then describe the ground and the access to the site. Those details let a supplier suggest a mobile, crawler or spider crane and the capacity to ask for.
It varies by supplier. One Sharjah crane states that an operator is offered; for the rest the arrangement is confirmed when you call. Ask whether a rigger or banksman is included as well. Operators need a valid licence for the machine class.
Wheels make a mobile crane quick to reposition, which fits short hires. Tracks make a crawler crane stable on soft ground, at the price of slower transport and set-up. Today 120 mobile cranes and 13 crawler cranes are listed in Sharjah.
A lift plan is needed for crane lifts on construction sites, and a heavy or two-crane lift may call for a fuller engineering study. When you request a quote, ask who prepares the plan, who supplies the rigging, and whether the price covers them.
Daily hire is offered by many suppliers. On a single day the trip to site and back can cost more than the crane itself, so have mobilisation quoted as its own line. Tower and large crawler cranes are normally booked for longer.
Lead time depends on the machine and on what else the supplier has booked. A small mobile crane may be free at short notice, while a large crawler or an engineered lift needs more time. Send the request once the date is known.
Cranes are listed in Sharjah city (143) and Adh Dhayd (24), and suppliers state their yard on each listing. Mobilisation depends on distance, so confirm the supplier can reach the site and what it charges.
The list differs by supplier and site. A signed hire agreement and identification are common requests, and the site may also ask for a lift plan and method statement before work starts. Ask the supplier for its list when agreeing the hire.
