Attachments
A bucket is standard. Forks, a broom, an auger, a trencher or a hammer can be arranged, depending on availability. Name the attachment when you request a quote, and confirm it with the booking.
Before you book: site checks
- Access: measure the narrowest point on the route with the attachment fitted, and allow space to turn.
- Surfaces: at about 2.6 tonnes, the machine should not cross weak slabs, drain covers or tank lids without the site supervisor’s approval.
- Unloading: the machine arrives on a transport truck, which needs a safe place to stop and unload.
- Load weight: heavy materials reach the 680 kg limit before the bucket is full.
Rates and booking
Typical UAE market rates for a skid steer, from suppliers’ published prices checked in September 2026, are about AED 350–600 a day for the machine alone, about AED 600–1,000 a day with an operator, and about AED 6,000–9,000 a month without one. Attachments such as a breaker or auger add to the day rate, and delivery depends on the distance. These are market ranges, not our price list; your quote depends on the emirate, the duration and the job.
