Wrong machine for here
Does this machine fit here?
Soft ground on the edge of Al Shifa will bury a two-wheel-drive truck as thoroughly as it buried your car. The Sand Recovery Wanch comes here instead, because it can leave the asphalt and get back off it again.

A wheel-lift is not the usual answer in Al Shifa, where there is normally room for a bed. It comes when a car is boxed into a kerbside space near Al Shifa Park, or when the job is a two-kilometre move to a workshop and a full bed would be overkill.
Getting the truck to your car
Past the last kerb near Al Shifa Park the surface turns to graded sand, so the machine that comes here carries recovery boards and runs a lower tyre pressure. A two-wheel-drive truck would simply join you.
Roads
- Dirab Road
- Al Shifa Main Street
- Southern Ring Road
Landmarks
- Al Shifa Park
- Dirab Motor Park (nearby)
What it loads
- Two-wheel-drive cars needing a short tow to a nearby workshop
- Cars parked in basements under Kingdom Centre, KAFD and airport terminals
- Vehicles wedged into tight kerbside spaces where a bed cannot be dropped
- Illegally parked or blocked-in cars that must be moved a short distance
What it will not take
- All-wheel drive and 4x4 — two turning wheels will damage the transfer case
- Automatics over about 20 km, where the gearbox loses lubrication
- Cars with a broken axle, hub or suspension arm on the lifted end
- Electric cars with a driven rear axle unless that axle is the one lifted
How the hydraulics do the job
- 1
The driver reverses in and extends the yoke under the front or rear wheels.
- 2
Rubber-faced claws close on the tyres — never on the bodywork or the bumper — and the ram lifts the axle about 200 mm.
- 3
A safety chain and strap go on before the truck moves, and the car is towed out at low speed to the surface.

How long does a wheel-lift wanch take to reach Al Shifa?
The average to Al Shifa is about 30 minutes, and it drops at night when Dirab Road is clear. You get the real ETA on WhatsApp the moment the job is assigned, not a generic estimate.
How much does a wheel-lift wanch cost in Al Shifa?
From SAR 180 inside Al Shifa. The final figure depends on distance and your vehicle, and it is agreed in full on WhatsApp before the truck moves. It does not change at delivery.
Why is a wheel-lift wanch not sent to Al Shifa?
Soft ground on the edge of Al Shifa will bury a two-wheel-drive truck as thoroughly as it buried your car. The Sand Recovery Wanch comes here instead, because it can leave the asphalt and get back off it again.
Can a wheel-lift tow my 4x4 out of a basement?
Not on its wheels. For a 4x4 in a basement we bring dollies — small trolleys that go under the two rolling wheels so nothing turns — or we winch the car up the ramp to a flatbed waiting at street level.
