The Height Dilemma in Saudi Industrial Projects

In the high-stakes environments of Dammam Second Industrial City and Jubail’s petrochemical complexes, choosing the wrong scissor lift height is a costly mistake. The core issue lies in confusing Platform Height with Working Height.

Engineering Standard: Working Height = Platform Height + 2 Meters (Average reach of an operator).

Renting a 12m working height lift means the floor reaches only 10m. At Rawad Al-Sharqia, we ensure your project stays on track by matching your site requirements with our modern fleet.

Height Categories & Field Applications in the Eastern Province

  • Low Reach (6-8m): Best for retail maintenance in Khobar malls and indoor fit-outs. These units are lightweight to protect sensitive flooring.

  • Medium Reach (10-14m): The standard for Dammam logistics hubs, ideal for HVAC installation and fire sprinkler maintenance.

  • High Reach (15-18m+): Essential for heavy industries in Jubail Industrial City, featuring 4x4 diesel systems for rough terrain.

Load Capacity & Safety Protocols

As height increases, stability becomes critical, especially with the coastal winds of the Eastern Province. We provide equipment with certified Safe Working Loads (SWL) that meet Aramco and SABIC safety standards. Our technical support services include 24/7 maintenance to ensure zero downtime.
