Heavy machinery, construction machinery, plant hire — the same service
Buyers in the UAE search for this under half a dozen names. Heavy equipment rental, construction equipment rental, construction machinery rental, heavy machinery rental, machine rental and plant hire all mean the same thing: renting a working machine, with or without an operator, for as long as the job lasts. We use “equipment rental” throughout this site, but the fleet above is what every one of those searches is looking for.
The distinction that does matter is heavy versus light. Heavy equipment is the earthmoving, lifting and hauling end — excavators, dozers, wheel loaders, graders, mobile and tower cranes, dump trucks. Light and support equipment covers compactors, generators, lighting towers, air compressors, welding machines and access platforms. We rent both, from the same yard, so one site does not need two suppliers.
What a UAE-wide supplier should actually give you
“Equipment rental company in the UAE” covers brokers who own nothing, single-machine operators and full-fleet renters. The difference shows up on site, not in the quote, so these are the questions worth asking whoever you hire from.
How much does equipment rental cost in the UAE?
There is no published rate card, here or anywhere credible — the price depends on the machine, the size, the hire length, whether an operator is included and how far the site is from Mussafah. What we can do is show you what drives the number, so you can read a quote properly: crane hire cost, forklift hire cost and generator rental cost.
For a number on your job, request a quote with the machine, the dates and the site location, or call +971 2 886 9999.
Where we are, plainly
We are an Abu Dhabi equipment rental company that rents across the UAE from a single yard in Mussafah — not a nationwide chain with depots in every emirate. In Abu Dhabi that makes us fast; in Dubai and Sharjah it makes us next-day and scheduled rather than same-hour. Knowing which one you need is half the decision.
What to send for a quote
- ✓The machine, or the job you need done
- ✓Emirate and site address, with any access limits
- ✓Indoor or outdoor work, and the surface
- ✓Start date and hire length (daily, weekly or monthly)
- ✓Whether you need an operator
- ✓Whether the site needs CICPA or other site passes
Common questions
We rent across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and Al Ain from one yard in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi and Mussafah are same-emirate deliveries; Dubai is about 90 minutes via the E11 and typically next day; Sharjah is scheduled from the same yard. Tell us the site address and the dates and we will confirm the delivery window before the machine leaves.
Mussafah, Abu Dhabi. It is the only yard, and every machine goes out from there. We say this plainly because it matters: for a same-hour requirement in Dubai or Sharjah a local supplier will be faster. For a hire running weeks or months, an owned and maintained fleet is worth more.
There is no single rate. The price depends on the machine and its size, how long you need it, whether an operator is included, and how far the site is from Mussafah. Longer hires work out cheaper per day. We publish what drives the price for cranes, forklifts and generators in our cost guides, and quote on the specific job.
Yes. Machines can be supplied with a certified operator, or rented on their own if you have your own qualified and licensed operator. Cranes and larger lifting equipment are normally supplied with an operator.
Yes, and it is the usual case. Earthmoving, lifting, access, trucks and site power all come from the same fleet, on one contract and one point of contact, rather than from four different suppliers.
Daily, weekly and monthly. Match the hire to the length of the job — there is no minimum rental period fixed across the fleet.
We are an equipment rental company with our own fleet, based in Abu Dhabi and renting across the UAE. The machines are ours — we are not re-hiring them from another supplier — which is why we can tell you a machine’s condition and service history before it is loaded. Amirah is part of World Star Holding.
Yes. Heavy equipment rental, construction machinery rental, heavy machinery rental and plant hire all describe the same service in the UAE, and buyers use them interchangeably. What changes the quote is the machine, the size, the duration and the site — not the wording.
Yes. Oil, gas and port sites in Abu Dhabi need CICPA-approved equipment and passes, and we run machines and operators onto those sites. Allow time for the pass process when you plan the hire.
