Truck cranes and crane trucks in the UAE: prices and checks

Updated 31 October 2026

Truck cranes in the UAE are listed from about AED 4,000 for a small pickup-mounted crane up to about AED 1 million for a 130-ton all-terrain crane. A used 2008 truck crane is listed at about AED 58,800, and a lifting and transport combo truck at about AED 80,100. For a price on your lift, send the details on BlaBlaPrice and sellers will reply with their own offer.

Inspection and certification

Construction equipment in the UAE must be inspected and certified every year by a recognised third-party body. For cranes the rules are stricter: inspection bodies for lifting equipment must meet minimum requirements, and contractors must pay special attention to inspection and testing. Ask the seller for the latest inspection report, its date and who carried it out. Older cranes need a major inspection, and where the design life is unknown, guidance points to 25 years for the structure and 10 years for the mechanical parts.

Safety and summer heat

Crane work runs through the year, but the heat from May to September is hard on operators, so ask the crew how they plan lifts in the hottest hours. The mild winter from November to March is the easier period for long jobs. Crane safety rules in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar cover inspection and compliance, so ask who will operate the crane and whether the operator is certified for it.

Delivery, units and lease terms

Cranes move between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain, so ask where the machine is based and what it costs to bring it to your site. Capacity is given in tonnes, boom length in metres and prices in AED. Some listings are sold with prepayment by bank transfer, so confirm what is due before any payment. For hire, state the lease term you need in days or months.

What to put in your request

Name the machine you need: a truck crane, a crane truck with a boom, or a small pickup crane. Say whether you want to buy or lease, and whether new or used is acceptable. Give the load to lift and the lifting capacity in tonnes, the boom length in metres, the city, the lease term, the year you prefer and your budget in AED. With these details sellers can quote the right machine the first time.
