Most forklift suppliers serve Jebel Ali from somewhere else in Dubai. ARAS Developments FZE is based inside it — Warehouse FZS1BK06, Jebel Ali Free Zone, trading here since 1997. If your operation runs in JAFZA, Jebel Ali Industrial Area, Dubai Industrial City, Dubai South or around the port, the machine you enquire about this morning can usually be inspected the same day and delivered in hours, not days.
What we supply from Jebel Ali stock
Our warehouse holds the equipment UAE logistics and trading businesses actually use: battery-electric forklifts from 1 to 3 tonnes, reach trucks for high racking, pallet stackers, pallet trucks, scissor lifts and the wider Soosung range we distribute as the brand’s authorised UAE partner. Current stock and prices are on the forklifts for sale page — including the AED price band, which most suppliers keep to themselves.
Why buying locally in Jebel Ali matters
Free-zone operations have their own rhythm: gate passes, port deadlines, and no patience for a machine stuck clearing customs or waiting on parts from abroad. Being resident in JAFZA means our service van is minutes from most customers, spare parts sit on our own shelves, and a breakdown call in the morning is usually resolved before the afternoon shift. It also means you can walk into the warehouse, put a pallet on the forks, and judge a machine in person before spending anything.
Buy or rent — both from the same yard
Alongside sales, we run a rental fleet on daily, weekly and monthly terms — covered on our forklift rental page, with dedicated pages for electric forklift rental and reach truck rental. Jebel Ali customers often rent first to prove a specification, then buy once the machine has earned its place — we are happy to work that way.
Serving Jebel Ali and beyond
Jebel Ali is home base, but delivery and service cover all seven emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. Office hours are Monday to Saturday, 8:30am to 5:30pm, and quotes go out the same working day.
