Loading shovels for rent in Dubai

Renting loading shovels in Dubai

The wheel loader, called a شيول (shovel) in the Gulf, loads sand, aggregate and rubble into trucks, spreads and levels fill, and clears sites. It is the machine for earthworks and yard work, hired by the hour, the day or the month with an operator.

Bucket size and the machine's weight decide the rate of work. A small loader handles a villa plot and a yard; road works, quarries and large sites use the bigger classes. It moves between nearby sites under its own power and by lowbed for anything further.

Where to find them in Dubai

Dubai has the largest pool of pickups and tankers in the country. Drivers wait at stands in Al Quoz, Al Qusais and Ras Al Khor industrial areas and around Jebel Ali and Dubai Investment Park, so a truck for a Dubai site is rarely more than half an hour away. Dubai-plated trucks pick up anywhere in the emirate; for a job that starts in Sharjah or Ajman, check the listing's pick-up area first.

What to ask the owner

• Bucket capacity and the machine class, and is it right for the material?
• Is the price per hour or per day with the operator, and what is the minimum?
• Who pays for diesel, and how much does it use in a day?
• Is mobilisation to the site included, driving or by lowbed?

Also called: wheel loader, شيول, front loader, loading shovel with operator

Loading trucks with sand, aggregate and debris, spreading fill, levelling and clearing. It is the general earthworks machine on most sites.
