Twenty-six skid steers are listed for hire in Sharjah today, from 21 suppliers. Bobcat accounts for 18 of them, with Caterpillar and JCB at 4 each. Twenty-one stand in Sharjah city and 5 in Adh Dhayd.
A skid steer is a compact loader that turns on the spot, which makes it the machine for clearing, loading and levelling where there is little room: a warehouse yard, a plot between buildings or a site inside a free zone. Most of the stock here sits with small yards and dealers. For other emirates, see the UAE skid steer page or the Dubai skid steer page.
Each listing shows the make, the year where given and the location, with the supplier's phone and WhatsApp number. Call a supplier, or post a request with the work, the attachment and the dates.
EquipmentsFinder charges renters nothing and takes no commission. The rate and terms are agreed with the supplier. The Sharjah equipment hub shows the other categories.
The Sharjah listings are not split by type, so ask the supplier whether a unit runs on wheels or tracks.
A wheeled machine is quick on hard ground, tarmac and concrete, and costs less to run. It can tear up soft surfaces when it turns, so keep it on firm ground such as an industrial yard.
Tracks spread the weight and grip loose sand and soft fill, which is useful on a plot that has not been compacted. They wear faster on hard surfaces, and the hire is usually dearer.
Measure the narrowest gate or passage the machine must pass through and the height of any door or canopy. Then check the rated operating capacity against the heaviest load, such as a loaded pallet or a full bucket of wet sand. A bigger machine lifts more but needs more room to turn.
The years in the data include 2013 (2), 2000 (1), 2008 (1) and 2012 (1), so a hire may be a used machine of any age. Ask for the hours, check the tyres or tracks, the pins and bushes on the arms, and the hydraulic hoses, and have the quick coupler tested with the attachment you will use.
The attachment decides the work. A bucket loads and levels, forks move pallets, a grapple handles brush and loose debris and an auger drills post holes. Attachments are not always included, so ask which come with the machine and which are charged separately. The coupler must match the machine.
Only 2 of the 26 listings carry a daily rate and 2 a monthly one, which is too few to give a range. Each supplier sets the price and gives it on request.
The quote depends on the size, the period and what is included. Ask whether the attachment, delivery, fuel and VAT are in the price, and how the machine must be returned.
Twenty-one suppliers list skid steers in Sharjah, so most have only one or two machines. They are in Sharjah city and Adh Dhayd, close to the Sharjah Industrial Areas (1-18), Al Sajaa Industrial Area, Hamriyah Free Zone, SAIF Zone and Al Hamriyah Port.
A skid steer travels on a trailer, and delivery is priced by distance. To buy one, see skid steers for sale.
Bobcat is by far the most common make here, with 18 of the 26 listings, so an attachment from one supplier will often fit a machine from another. Ask to see the machine work before you hire it, because a short test in the yard shows the drive, the lift and the noise from the hydraulics better than a description does. Agree the handover condition in writing, and ask who covers tyre or track damage on site.
Post a skid steer request with the work, the attachment, the site and the dates, and suppliers respond directly.
Rates are set by each supplier. Only 2 listings show a daily rate and 2 a monthly rate, so ask for a quote. It depends on the size, the period and the attachments, and delivery, fuel and VAT should be shown separately.
A wheeled machine moves faster on firm ground and costs less to run. A track machine grips better on sand and soft ground and spreads its weight, but wears faster on hard surfaces. Choose by the ground on your site, and ask the supplier which type the listed unit is.
It varies by supplier and is confirmed on contact. No Sharjah skid steer listing currently offers an operator. Operators need a valid licence for the machine class, so if you are not experienced, ask the supplier whether one can be arranged.
Some suppliers hire by the day, and the listings that show a daily rate are few. Ask each one about the minimum period. Delivery on a trailer is charged on top, so a single day costs more per day than a week.
Ask for the hours and the service record. Test the lift arms, the tilt and the drive on both sides, look for hydraulic leaks and worn pins, and make sure the coupler locks the attachment. Note any damage in writing before you take it.
The 26 machines are listed in Sharjah city and Adh Dhayd. Suppliers deliver by trailer, so confirm that the supplier reaches your site in the industrial areas, Al Sajaa, Hamriyah or SAIF Zone, and ask for the delivery charge on its own line.
