The 50 ton mobile crane is the all-rounder of our fleet and the most requested capacity in Abu Dhabi. It handles structural steel erection on warehouses and pre-engineered buildings, precast panels, mid-size machinery, tanks and transformers, and still fits on most urban and industrial sites. Where a 25 ton crane runs out of reach, a 50 ton crane usually has the margin.
The capacity figure is a maximum at short radius. A 50 ton crane working at 10 or 15 metres lifts far less than 50 tonnes, and the main boom length decides how high and how far it can place a load. For most steel and plant lifts in Abu Dhabi this class works comfortably with margin in hand, which is what we plan for.
What a 50 ton crane typically lifts
- Structural steel columns, rafters and trusses for warehouses and PEBs
- Precast wall and façade panels
- Transformers, generators and mid-size machinery
- Storage tanks, skids and small vessels
- Rooftop plant on mid-rise buildings
Typical figures for this class
| Main boom | Around 38 to 40 m |
|---|---|
| Working radius | Up to about 34 m, heavy loads at short radius |
| Outrigger footprint | Roughly 6.5 m x 6.5 m |
| Set-up time | Typically about an hour on firm ground |
Typical for the capacity class, not a specific unit. Boom length, radius and footprint are confirmed per job from the load chart of the crane we send.

Getting it to site
A 50 ton crane normally travels self-contained with its counterweight and needs no route approval for standard moves, only timing around heavy-vehicle restricted hours. Larger counterweight configurations may travel separately.
What affects the daily rate
- Hire length: a single lift carries the full mobilisation cost in one day; longer hires spread it.
- Where the crane can stand: a longer radius can push the job into a bigger crane.
- Ground conditions, and whether mats or pad preparation are needed.
- Transport: counterweight trucks and route approval for larger configurations.
- Site location and delivery distance, and any waiting time at a gate.
We do not publish rate cards because these factors change the price for the same crane. Send the lift details and you get a firm AED quote. Our guide on what affects rental rates explains each factor.

50 Ton Crane Rental in Abu Dhabi: FAQs
How much does a 50 ton crane cost per day in Abu Dhabi?
It depends on the hire length, the site location and how the crane has to set up. Send us the load weight, radius, height, location and dates and we will quote in AED. We never quote without those details because they change the answer.
Do I need a 50 ton or a 100 ton crane?
The weight at your working radius decides it. A 50 ton crane at a short radius can out-lift a 100 ton crane working far out. Send the load weight and the distance from where the crane can stand to where the load goes, and we will confirm the class.
Can a 50 ton crane erect steel for a warehouse?
For most warehouse and pre-engineered building steel, yes. Very long or heavy rafters, or a crane position far from the gridline, may need the next class up.
Is a lift plan included?
We review the load chart and the lift with you before dispatch. For sites that require a formal lift plan and method statement, tell us when you book and we will prepare the documents the site asks for.
How quickly can you mobilise a 50 ton crane?
Same-day for standard lifts in Abu Dhabi, Mussafah and ICAD. KEZAD, Dubai and Ruwais are scheduled, typically within a day or two.
