Frequently Asked Questions
Everything buyers ask before purchasing used heavy equipment or trucks from Dubai.
Buying from Dubai
Why buy used heavy equipment from Dubai?
Dubai is one of the world's largest hubs for used heavy equipment — deep supply from Japan and Europe, strong regional contractor turnover, and efficient global shipping access. That combination means strong selection and competitive pricing.
Are you a broker or a principal trader?
Principal trader. We own our stock. That means transparent pricing, no phantom listings, and we can move fast on deals because we don't need a third party's sign-off.
Shipping & export
Where do you ship to?
Worldwide. Our customers are truly global — the GCC, Africa, South Asia, Central Asia and beyond. We ship wherever the buyer is.
Container, Ro-Ro or break-bulk?
Depends on the machine. Smaller excavators and loaders fit 40ft HC flat-rack containers. Larger dozers, big excavators and cranes go Ro-Ro or break-bulk. We quote whichever gives the best all-in price.
Who handles export documentation?
We do, in-house. Export certificate, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any certificate of origin required. You receive scanned originals before the ship sails.
Sourcing & custom requests
What if you don't have the machine I want in stock?
Send us a sourcing request. Our global network finds specific makes, models and years on request. See our machine sourcing service for the full process.
Can you source specific attachments?
Yes — buckets (rock, heavy-duty, skeleton, ditching), hammers, shears, pulverisers, quick couplers, rippers, forks and more. Specify make/model compatibility.
Do you trade spare parts?
Our focus is complete machines, but we do help buyers connect with parts suppliers for major components (engines, pumps, final drives) through our network.
