Makcon provides material handling equipment for rent in Saudi Arabia — forklifts, telehandlers, pallet jacks, order pickers, and scissor and boom lifts — with every unit Aramco and TUV certified and available with or without an operator. Based in Al Khobar, Eastern Province, we mobilise fast across the Kingdom's busiest industrial corridors.
Whether you are stacking rebar on a Jubail construction site, managing a Dammam warehouse ramp-up, or clearing material during an ARAMCO plant shutdown, Makcon has the right machine, certified and ready to deploy.
Contact NowMaterial handling equipment refers to machines designed to move, lift, load, and position materials within a warehouse, plant, port, or construction site. This is distinct from earthmoving equipment such as excavators or bulldozers, which dig and grade — material handling machines are built for internal and site logistics: moving pallets, positioning loads at height, and transferring goods between storage, transport, and work areas.
The category covers a wide range of machines, from a simple manual pallet jack moving a single pallet across a warehouse floor to a heavy-duty telehandler placing structural steel components at height on a construction site. What they share is a common purpose: reducing manual lifting, speeding up loading and unloading, and keeping materials moving safely through a site's workflow.
Renting material handling equipment Saudi Arabia projects rely on has grown alongside the Kingdom's Vision 2030 industrial expansion — warehouses, logistics hubs, ports, and manufacturing facilities all depend on this equipment category for daily operations, not just during construction phases.

Makcon's fleet covers the full range of material handling requirements across warehousing, construction, ports, and industrial plants:
Our forklift fleet ranges from 1.5-tonne warehouse units to 16-tonne heavy industrial forklifts, available in diesel, electric, and rough terrain configurations. Diesel forklifts handle outdoor construction and logistics yards; electric units suit indoor warehouse and clean-environment work; rough terrain forklifts handle uneven ground on construction sites. Every unit is Aramco and TUV certified, maintained to manufacturer standards, and available with or without a licensed operator.
A telehandler extends where a standard forklift stops — its telescopic boom reaches up to 17 metres on some models, placing loads at height or over obstacles that a fixed-fork forklift cannot reach. Telehandlers are the practical choice for placing materials on upper floors of a building under construction, working where you cannot drive directly under the drop point, or reaching over scaffolding. Available with forks, bucket, or jib attachment.
For ground-level warehouse movement, our fleet includes manual hand pallet trucks, electric pallet jacks, and pedestrian pallet stackers (walkie stackers) — the everyday equipment that keeps palletised goods moving without the footprint of a full forklift. Order pickers are available for warehouses prioritising picking speed over bulk load size, and reach trucks support narrow-aisle, high-rack storage layouts common in modern distribution centres.
Our access equipment fleet covers working heights from 6 metres on compact indoor scissor lifts up to 56 metres on large telescopic boom lifts. These platforms support material positioning and inspection work at height alongside forklift and telehandler operations — every unit carries current TUV third-party inspection and Aramco approval. See our scissor lift rental page for full specifications including diesel and electric options for Aramco and SABIC site requirements.
For bulk material handling, loading trucks, and stockpile management in large yards, we supply wheel loaders and skid steer loaders that work alongside forklifts on active sites. For port and container yard operations, our fleet includes heavy diesel forklifts and reach stackers suited to ship-side cargo handling and container yard logistics at Dammam Port and Jubail's industrial port areas.
Material handling needs rarely stay constant across a project's lifetime — a warehouse ramping up for peak season, a construction site moving through different phases, or a plant shutdown needing a short burst of extra capacity. Renting matches equipment to the actual need at each stage:
| Factor | Renting from Makcon | Buying |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront capital | None — pay per day, week, or project | Full purchase price locked up front |
| Maintenance | Included — our team inspects and services every unit | Owner bears full servicing and repair cost |
| Fleet flexibility | Scale up or down as project phases change | Fixed — you use what you already own |
| Certification | Aramco and TUV certification handled by Makcon | Owner must arrange and renew certification |
| Idle-time cost | None — return the machine when the job is done | Equipment sits idle and depreciates between projects |
| Best for | Project-specific or fluctuating material handling needs | Continuous, high-utilisation, long-term owned fleets |
Buying makes sense when a single equipment type will be in continuous, high-utilisation use across multiple projects for several years. For most Saudi Arabia businesses managing project-specific or seasonal demand, renting keeps capital free and avoids idle-time cost.
Every machine carries current third-party inspection and Aramco approval, so equipment clears facility gates at Aramco, SABIC, and Jubail Industrial City sites without delay.
If your project also needs a crane, generator, or transport, Makcon handles it all under a single contract and site contact — instead of coordinating multiple rental companies against the same deadline.
Every unit is mechanically inspected before leaving our yard. If a machine develops a fault on site, our maintenance team responds without pulling the job off schedule for days.
We match the right equipment type and capacity to your actual job — and if a telehandler or manlift would serve you better than a forklift, we will say so rather than push what happens to be available.
Inspection certificates and operator licences come with the machine. For Aramco, SABIC, or Jubail Industrial City sites, we manage gate pass applications once you share your site contact's details.
Same-day capability in the Eastern Province, 24-hour reach to Dammam and Jubail, and project-based deployment to Riyadh, Jeddah, and all major industrial corridors across the Kingdom.
From ARAMCO plant shutdowns to Jeddah warehouse ramp-ups — Makcon serves the full breadth of Saudi Arabia's material handling demand.
Moving pipe spools, valve assemblies, equipment skids, and catalyst bags during plant shutdowns at Aramco and SABIC facilities, where certified operators and documented pre-use inspections are mandatory.
Unloading deliveries, moving rebar bundles, and positioning prefabricated panels around congested multi-trade sites — diesel and rough terrain forklifts are the most common requirement here.
Container yard operations and ship-side cargo handling at Dammam Port and Jubail's industrial port areas, using heavy diesel forklifts and reach stackers.
Pallet jacks, order pickers, and reach trucks supporting narrow-aisle storage and daily internal logistics in distribution centres across the Kingdom.
Ongoing internal logistics support with forklifts and telehandlers long after a facility's construction phase is complete.
NEOM, the Red Sea Project, and Diriyah Gate — construction logistics and material positioning at scale, with multi-unit fleet contracts managed from a single Makcon vendor agreement.
Makcon's material handling equipment fleet is based in Al Khobar, Eastern Province, with fast mobilisation across the region and beyond:

Renting material handling equipment from Makcon follows a simple four-step process:
Call, WhatsApp, or fill in the online quote form — we respond within 60 minutes.
Share your load weight, required reach or height, site location, and rental duration.
We provide a clear, itemised written quotation with no hidden charges.
Your equipment and certified operator (if requested) arrive on the agreed date, ready to work. For standard rentals we need your company CR, a signed rental agreement, and site address. For Aramco, SABIC, or Jubail Industrial City sites, we also need the responsible person's name for gate pass applications — we handle the rest.
Material handling equipment on rent from Makcon is available on daily, weekly, monthly, and project-based terms — dry hire (equipment only) or wet hire (equipment with certified operator):
Urgent, short-duration tasks. Dry or wet hire. Guide: Compact electric scissor lift (up to 10m): SAR 200–400/day.
Short projects and shutdown scopes. Dry or wet hire. Guide: Diesel articulating manlift (20–30m): SAR 600–1,200/day equivalent.
Ongoing warehouse or plant operations. Dry or wet hire. Discounted vs daily rate for continuous use.
Full project duration, multi-machine needs. Wet hire (operator included) standard. Custom itemised quote based on scope.
Rates depend on machine type, capacity, rental duration, site location, and whether an operator is included. Rather than publishing a generic price list, we prepare a specific quotation — call or message us with your requirement for an accurate figure.
Projects using material handling equipment often also need cranes, earthmoving machines, or manpower. Makcon supplies all under one contract:
Answered plainly for project managers, facility teams, and procurement teams across Saudi Arabia.
Material handling equipment refers to machines used to move, lift, load, and position materials within a site, warehouse, or plant — including forklifts, telehandlers, pallet jacks, order pickers, and scissor or boom lifts. Unlike earthmoving equipment, material handling machines are designed for indoor and outdoor logistics tasks rather than digging or grading.
Makcon rents forklifts (1.5 to 16 tonnes, diesel, electric, and rough terrain), telehandlers with reach up to 17 metres, pallet jacks and order pickers, scissor lifts and boom lifts (6 to 56 metres working height), and specialised equipment including wheel loaders and skid steer loaders. All units are Aramco and TUV certified.
For most project-specific or fluctuating needs, renting is more cost-effective than buying. It eliminates upfront capital expenditure, includes maintenance and certification, and lets you scale the fleet up or down as project phases change. Buying only makes financial sense when a single equipment type will be in continuous, high-utilisation use across multiple projects for several years.
Makcon is based in Al Khobar, Eastern Province, and provides fast mobilisation to Dammam, Jubail, Dhahran, and Ras Al Khair, typically within 24 hours. We also supply material handling equipment to Riyadh, Jeddah, and project sites across the Kingdom, with transport and logistics coordinated for each location.
Yes, for sites inside Aramco, SABIC, or Jubail Industrial City facilities, equipment must carry valid Aramco approval and TUV third-party inspection certification, and operators may need site-specific credentials. Makcon's entire material handling fleet carries current certification, and we handle gate pass documentation directly, provided you share the responsible site contact in advance.
For Al Khobar, same-day delivery is often available depending on machine availability. Dammam, Jubail, and Dhahran typically receive equipment within 24 hours from our Al Khobar yard. Riyadh, Jeddah, and other regions are coordinated on a project-specific logistics timeline, confirmed at the time of enquiry.
