High-rise construction runs on a fixed lift point that stays in place for months, not a machine that mobilises for a day and leaves. Makcon provides tower crane rental across Saudi Arabia, from an Al Khobar base, as part of an Aramco and TUV certified crane fleet covering mobile, crawler, all-terrain and tower cranes.
Our tower crane service includes erection, commissioning, certified operators, ongoing maintenance during the rental period and dismantling at project completion – so the crane on your site is one contract from first bolt to final demobilisation, not a machine handed off between separate vendors.
Get a Tower Crane QuoteTower crane rental with Makcon covers the full lifecycle a fixed overhead lift point needs on a construction site: technical review of your load and site data, crane selection and configuration, transport to site, erection and commissioning, certified operator supply for the working life of the crane, ongoing maintenance and inspection during the rental period, and dismantling once the lift is no longer needed.
Dry hire (crane only) and wet hire (crane with certified operator) are both available.

Makcon's tower crane fleet is available in various jib lengths and heights, in both luffing and flat-top configurations.
Suits sites where multiple cranes need to work in close proximity without their jibs colliding – the fixed horizontal jib allows jibs to overlap at different heights, making flat-top configurations the standard choice on large multi-crane construction programmes.
Suits congested urban sites where the jib needs to move within a tighter radius to avoid neighbouring structures. The ability to raise and lower the jib angle gives the operator a smaller working envelope – essential on confined inner-city plots or where adjacent buildings restrict the slew radius.
The right configuration, jib length and hook height for a specific project are confirmed during the technical review stage, based on your building height, footprint and site constraints – not fitted to a generic package.
Tower cranes are used where a fixed overhead lift point needs to stay in position for an extended construction programme. Makcon's core tower crane deployments cover:
Multi-storey apartment and residential tower construction where a fixed crane position serves the full building footprint throughout the structure phase.
Office towers, retail complexes, and mixed-use buildings requiring sustained lifting for steel, precast, and facade elements throughout a multi-phase programme.
Hotel structures in Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, and Eastern Province coastal corridors – large-footprint builds with extended programme durations.
Multi-storey residential and commercial builds using precast floor slabs and wall panels – precise positioning at height and radius that only a tower crane covers efficiently.
Infrastructure projects requiring sustained lifting over an extended programme – bridge pylon construction, large civic facilities, and major utility structures.
Makcon's Real Estate & Commercial Development clients in Al Khobar, Dammam and the wider Eastern Province Vision 2030 corridor make up the core of our tower crane deployments.
Selecting the right tower crane comes down to matching the machine to the project's load, geometry and site conditions – not picking the biggest crane available. Factors our technical team reviews with you:
| Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Load Capacity | Must cover your heaviest planned lift at the required radius, not just an average load |
| Working Height | Determined by the tallest point the crane needs to reach above the finished structure |
| Jib Length | Sets the maximum horizontal reach across the site and over neighbouring structures |
| Maximum Tip Load | The capacity available at full jib extension, often the limiting factor for far-reach lifts |
| Site Dimensions and Ground Conditions | Determines foundation design and whether a standard base or piled foundation is needed |
| Building Layout and Obstructions | Neighbouring buildings, power lines and site boundaries affect slew radius and jib configuration |
| Wind Conditions | Coastal and open sites need wind loading factored into both crane selection and lift planning |
| Project Duration | Longer programmes may favour a different rental structure than a short erection-heavy phase |
| Erection and Dismantling Requirements | Access for the mobile crane needed to erect and later dismantle the tower crane must be planned into site logistics from the start |
Makcon's tower crane operators hold valid Saudi government licences and current Aramco crane operator certification – not general site labour placed on a specialised machine.
Rigging supervisors, banksmen, and signalmen are available as part of a complete lifting team where a project needs them.
A tower crane sits on site for the length of a construction programme, so operator continuity – not just a qualified operator on day one – matters for how consistently the crane performs across the full rental period.
Valid MHRSD crane operator licence on every wet hire deployment
Current Aramco crane operator certification where required by site
Rigging supervisors, banksmen and signalmen available alongside the crane operator
Every tower crane in Makcon's fleet carries current TUV or approved third-party inspection certification and Aramco crane registration where the project requires it.
Lifting equipment used in Saudi Arabia falls under SASO's Machinery Safety technical regulations for lifting equipment, alongside internationally recognised standards such as ASME B30 for cranes, hoists and rigging.
Operator licensing is administered through the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. All Makcon crane operators hold current, valid licences for the crane type deployed.
Inspection reports, maintenance logs, third-party certificates and operator licences are prepared before mobilisation – not chased on arrival at site.
Makcon assists with gate pass applications and site-specific HSE induction requirements for restricted industrial and giga-project sites.
From your first contact through to final dismantling – one contract, one contact, fully managed:
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Submit Your Requirement | Share building height, floor count, load data, site location and programme duration |
| 2. Technical Review & Crane Selection | Our lifting team reviews site access, load charts and ground conditions to recommend jib length, height and configuration |
| 3. Quotation & Documentation | A clear quote covering crane, erection, operator and rental rate, with certification documents for HSE pre-approval |
| 4. Gate Pass & Site Entry | Gate pass applications and site-specific inductions coordinated ahead of the mobilisation date for restricted sites |
| 5. Erection & Commissioning | The crane is transported, erected, and commissioned before it's handed over as ready for lifting operations |
| 6. Operation, Maintenance & Dismantling | Certified operators run the crane for the rental period, with maintenance cover throughout, followed by planned dismantling at project completion |
Tower crane rental cost depends on several project-specific variables rather than a single flat rate:
Because of this variation, an accurate figure needs your specific project details rather than a generic estimate. Makcon reviews load data, site conditions and programme length before issuing a quote.

Makcon operates from Al Khobar in the Eastern Province and mobilises tower cranes across the Kingdom:
For projects outside the Eastern Province, transport and foundation planning are coordinated as part of the technical review – tower crane erection logistics need more lead time than a mobile crane's road transport. If you're searching for tower crane rental near me from anywhere in the Kingdom, Makcon's Al Khobar yard means a quote is a call away.
Makcon's tower crane fleet serves the construction and development sectors that need a fixed overhead lift point for extended programme durations across Saudi Arabia.
Residential towers, commercial complexes, hotel and mixed-use developments – the core of Makcon's tower crane deployment base across the Eastern Province and Vision 2030 corridor.
Structural steel erection and precast concrete placement on large-footprint builds requiring a fixed lift point throughout the structure phase.
NEOM, the Red Sea Project, Diriyah Gate, and other major national development programmes requiring sustained lifting support across extended construction timelines.
Projects using tower cranes typically also need mobile cranes for erection and supporting lifts, or earthmoving equipment for site preparation. Makcon supplies all from one contract:
Answered plainly for project managers, site engineers, and procurement teams.
A luffing jib tower crane can raise and lower its jib angle, giving it a smaller working radius suited to congested urban sites and locations close to other structures. A flat-top tower crane has a fixed horizontal jib and is generally used where multiple cranes need to operate near each other without their jibs colliding. The right choice depends on site layout and how close neighbouring structures or other cranes are.
Erection time depends on crane size, foundation type and site access, and is confirmed during the technical review for each project. It typically takes longer than mobilising a mobile or crawler crane, since a tower crane needs a foundation prepared and a mobile crane on site to assist with the erection itself before it becomes operational.
Yes. Makcon offers wet hire – crane with a certified operator – alongside dry hire for clients supplying their own operator. Rigging supervisors, banksmen and signalmen are available as part of a complete lifting team where the project needs them.
Building height and floor count, heaviest planned load and lifting radius, site dimensions and ground conditions, nearby obstructions, and expected project duration. A lift plan or site drawing, if available, helps our technical team narrow down jib length, height and configuration faster.
In some cases, yes, depending on foundation design and site planning done at the start of the project. Relocating a tower crane after erection is a significant undertaking, so it's more efficient to plan crane position against the full construction sequence upfront rather than assume relocation later.
Dismantling is included as part of Makcon's tower crane rental service. The crane is dismantled using a mobile crane, transported off site, and the rental contract is closed out with full documentation – the same standard applied to erection and commissioning at the start of the project.
Whether it's a single tower crane for a residential build or a coordinated multi-crane setup for a larger development, Makcon supports the full lift – from technical review through to final dismantling – across Saudi Arabia.
