AJI Rentals

What AJI Rentals does

AJI Rentals is a privately held heavy equipment rental company headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with a regional office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The company operates a fleet of 445 machines across seven product categories: powered access (boom lifts, scissor lifts, crawlers, mast lifts from brands including JLG, Genie, and Dingli), mini cranes (Jekko, Maeda, UNIC), cleaning equipment (scrubbers, sweepers, vacuums), site power solutions (battery boxes, generators), material handling (telehandlers, waste disposal), and specialized glass lifting and handling (vacuum manipulators, lifters, overhead glazing manipulators from Kappel, Viavac, and Jekko). The company cites 730 clients and has supplied equipment to marquee Gulf projects including Museum of the Future, One Za'abeel, Warner Bros Abu Dhabi, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi International Airport, Khazna Data Center, and SeaWorld Yas Island.

The business generates revenue through four streams: equipment rental (core), IPAF-certified operator training, Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) for preventive servicing, and machine sales of new and used equipment. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly tiered, and the go-to-market is direct-to-enterprise via a 3-step process (search, order, receive) backed by a regional sales team, site visits, and a website quote-request workflow. Customer segments are primarily construction, industrial operations/maintenance, and glass and facade contractors across the UAE and KSA.

The operating model is asset-heavy and lean in headcount (27 employees), with a Dubai Marina office acting as the commercial headquarters, a Dubai Industrial City yard for storage and maintenance, and a Riyadh office for KSA execution. Management notes 45 years of combined owner experience in rental equipment management, and the IPAF training center is positioned as a differentiated capability in the region. There are no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, or AI/technology platforms; the company operates as a founder-led, closely-held independent operator within the Gulf construction equipment rental market.
