A factory floor in the Industrial City of Abu Dhabi depends on forklifts every hour it is running, which is why a forklift failure in ICAD is measured in lost production rather than lost time. Maxtgc's Mussafah yard sits next to ICAD, so a replacement or additional forklift typically reaches a plant in ICAD I, II or III within 60 to 90 minutes of a confirmed booking.
Alongside day-to-day floor work, ICAD generates a steady need for heavier forklifts: pulling a failed machine off a line, moving a press or packaging unit between sectors, and supporting a planned shutdown where a second machine keeps the programme on schedule. Our forklifts run from 3 to 25 tonnes, and heavy units can be paired with a mobile crane where a machine has to be lifted over an obstacle or loaded from above.
Every forklift can be supplied with a certified operator, or self-drive for plants with their own licensed drivers, and long-term contracts at a fixed monthly rate are available for factories that would rather not own a spare machine.
Typical forklift rental jobs in ICAD
- Replacement forklift cover during a breakdown or service
- Raw material and finished goods handling on production floors
- Pulling out and positioning machinery during shutdowns
- Loading finished product for dispatch at factory loading bays
- Heavy forklift support for machinery relocation between sectors
What to plan for in ICAD
Floor loading and headroom
A loaded heavy forklift concentrates a lot of weight on a few wheels. Tell us about trench covers, suspended floors and low beams or ducts along the route, and we will choose a machine and route that suit them.
Machine weight from the data plate
For a machinery move, use the manufacturer's data plate rather than an estimate, and note whether the figure includes oil, tooling and attachments.
Downtime window
Dispatch runs 24/7, so forklifts and crane support for shutdown work can be scheduled for nights or weekends to keep the production loss as small as possible.

How fast can a replacement forklift reach my plant in ICAD?
Typically within 60 to 90 minutes of a confirmed booking, from our yard next door in Mussafah.
Can a forklift move a production machine, or do I need a crane?
A heavy forklift can move many machines across a level floor if they can be lifted from below. A crane is needed when the machine has to go over an obstacle, through a roof opening or onto a trailer from above. Send the machine's weight and a few photos and we will recommend the method.
Do you cover all three ICAD sectors?
Yes. ICAD I, II and III, plus the neighbouring Mussafah M-sectors.
