Trailers for rent in Umm Al Quwain

Renting trailers in Umm Al Quwain

Trailers move what pickups cannot: long steel, containers, precast, full loads of blocks, and, on a lowbed, excavators, loaders, cranes and generators. In the UAE they are hired with the tractor head and driver as one unit, priced per trip, and the price depends on the distance, the load and whether an oversize permit or an escort is needed.

A flatbed trailer carries palletised and long material. A lowbed sits close to the ground with ramps so tracked and wheeled machines can drive on. Axle count sets the legal payload, which is why listings are grouped by axles.

Where to find them in Umm Al Quwain

Umm Al Quwain's New Industrial Area, off Emirates Road, is the emirate's main stand for pickups and tankers, and many of the vehicles there carry plates from neighbouring emirates. It is a small emirate, so a truck listed here usually reaches any site in Umm Al Quwain within minutes.

Sizes and types

• 1 axle, about 13 tonnes: short lowbeds and small flatbeds for a single machine or a light load.
• 2 axle, about 26 tonnes: the common 40 ft flatbed and mid-size lowbeds for loaders and mid-range excavators.
• 3 axle, about 39 tonnes: heavy lowbeds for large excavators, cranes and full precast loads.

What to ask the owner

• What is the payload and the deck length, and will your load need an oversize permit?
• Is the price per trip including the tractor head, the driver and the permit?
• Does the lowbed have ramps that suit a tracked machine?
• Who provides the crane or the loader to load a flatbed at each end?
• Is there a charge for waiting or for an overnight stop on long runs?

Common questions

How many tonnes can a 3 axle trailer carry?

Around 39 tonnes of payload under UAE axle limits, which covers most excavators and cranes. Anything heavier or wider is a special haulage job with a permit and possibly an escort.

Does the trailer come with a driver and tractor head?

Yes. A trailer listing on Ujrah is the complete unit: head, trailer and driver, hired per trip.

Can a lowbed move a mobile crane?

Yes for cranes that cannot or should not drive the distance. Give the crane's weight and dimensions when you call so the owner sends the right axle count.
