Types of Earthmoving Equipment & Rental Prices
Bulldozers (جرافات)
Bulldozers are the primary tool for clearing land, pushing material, and rough grading. Available in various sizes for different applications:
- Small bulldozer (D4/D5 class, 8–12 ton): SAR 700–1,000/day | SAR 18,000–26,000/month
Best for: Residential site preparation, small infrastructure, landscaping - Medium bulldozer (D6/D7 class, 18–25 ton): SAR 1,000–1,400/day | SAR 26,000–38,000/month
Best for: Commercial construction, road building, general site clearing - Large bulldozer (D8/D9 class, 35–50+ ton): SAR 1,600–2,400/day | SAR 42,000–62,000/month
Best for: Major infrastructure, mining, dam construction, massive cut and fill
Motor Graders (مسويات)
Essential for finish grading, road base preparation, and creating precise slopes and cross-sections:
- Standard motor grader (120–150 HP): SAR 900–1,300/day | SAR 24,000–34,000/month
- Heavy motor grader (180–240 HP): SAR 1,200–1,700/day | SAR 32,000–44,000/month
Best for: Road construction, airfield grading, large area finish grading, slope formation
Scrapers (مكاشط)
High-production earthmoving for large, open sites with long haul distances:
- Push-pull scraper (14–22 m³): SAR 1,200–1,800/day
Best for: Large site preparation, dam construction, airport construction where massive volumes need moving efficiently
Compaction Equipment (معدات الدك والهرس)
- Vibratory drum roller (8–12 ton): SAR 400–650/day | SAR 11,000–18,000/month
- Pneumatic tyre roller: SAR 450–700/day
- Sheepsfoot/padfoot roller: SAR 400–600/day
- Plate compactor (small): SAR 80–150/day
- Jumping jack compactor: SAR 100–180/day
How to Choose the Right Earthmoving Equipment
Key Questions to Answer Before Renting
1. What's your soil type?
- Sandy/loose soil: Most equipment types work well
- Cohesive/clay soil: Padfoot rollers for compaction; heavier bulldozers for pushing
- Rocky ground: Track-type bulldozers with ripper attachment; hydraulic rock rippers on excavators
2. What are your production requirements?
- Calculate the volume (m³) you need to move and divide by equipment production rates to determine fleet size and duration
- A standard D6 bulldozer moves approximately 200–400 m³/day depending on conditions
3. What's the haul distance?
- Short haul (<100m): Bulldozers most efficient
- Medium haul (100–300m): Excavator and dump truck combination
- Long haul (>300m): Scrapers or excavator/articulated truck fleet
4. What grade of finish do you need?
- Rough clearing: Bulldozer alone
- Sub-grade: Bulldozer + grader
- Finish grade to tight tolerances: Motor grader, potentially with GPS machine control
Common Combinations for Saudi Construction Sites
The most productive earthmoving setups used on Saudi projects:
- Site clearing: D6 bulldozer + wheel loader + dump trucks
- Road subgrade: D6 bulldozer + motor grader + vibratory roller + water bowser
- Large cut & fill: Excavator fleet + articulated dump trucks + D8 bulldozer
- Trench backfill: Excavator + jumping jack or plate compactors
