Equipment Rental for Contracting and Infrastructure
Quick summary
- Who for: main and specialist contractors, project managers, and road, utility and infrastructure projects.
- The machine changes with the phase: excavation and grading, then lifting and installation, then access for finishing.
- Hire periods: daily, weekly, monthly or on a project contract, depending on the machine and availability.
- Availability, transport and operating costs are set after reviewing the project site and rental period.
This equipment is supplied to projects across the Kingdom, subject to equipment availability, the project location, and transport and operating requirements.
When you need this
- Site preparation: foundation excavation, levelling and moving material around the site.
- Structural works: lifting rebar, formwork and precast elements.
- Facade and MEP installation at height.
- Road and utility projects: trenching for services, backfilling and loading material.
- Internal finishing and ceiling work in buildings.

How to choose the machine
- Project phase: the machine for the structure phase is not the one for finishing; naming the phase changes the recommendation.
- Terrain: soil, sand and slopes need rough-terrain machines.
- Access and standing space: gate widths and where a crane or boom can set up.
- Duration and number of machines: long projects may suit a project contract rather than daily hire.
- For infrastructure: buried services, excavation depth and traffic around the site.
Safety and execution on site
General planning practice; your site's and facility's own requirements come first.
- Locate buried services (power, water, telecoms) before any digging.
- Support the sides of deep excavations and keep spoil back from the edge.
- Assess ground bearing before setting up cranes and outrigger machines.
- Manage movement on site and use a banksman when working near people or roads.
What to send for a quote
- The project site and its current phase.
- The machines or the work: digging, lifting, access, levelling.
- The expected period per machine, and whether needs change as the project progresses.
- Ground and access conditions, and whether transport or an operator is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can several machines be hired for one project?
Yes. Several machines can go in one request with the period for each; the quote is prepared around availability and the project schedule.
Daily hire or a project contract?
Daily or weekly hire suits short tasks; a project contract suits a longer need for one or more machines across project phases. Terms are set in the quote.
Do the machines work on unpaved new sites?
Rough-terrain machines with pneumatic tyres and four-wheel drive exist for that; the right one is chosen once the ground condition is known.
How is transport to site priced?
By the site location, the machine size and the number of moves. It is included in the quote once the address is known.
