Route details and transit time from Al-Ahsa to Kuwait
Al-Ahsa lies south of Dammam, so its road to Kuwait runs north via Abqaiq, joins the coastal road near Jubail and continues to Khafji. When delivery is in Jahra or western Kuwait, we may choose Ruqi via Hafar Al-Batin.
| Leg | Approximate distance |
|---|---|
| Hofuf โ Abqaiq | about 100 km |
| Abqaiq โ Jubail | about 150 km |
| Jubail โ Khafji | about 200 km |
| Khafji โ Nuwaiseeb โ Kuwait City | about 130 km |
๐ก Ahmadi is as close as it gets
Many equipment shipments from Al-Ahsa go to Ahmadi, Shuaiba and the industrial areas of southern Kuwait โ the first places the truck reaches after Nuwaiseeb โ so the road is even shorter.
Moving industrial equipment from Al-Ahsa to Kuwait
Equipment moves differently from furniture: its weight is concentrated, it needs lifting and securing points, and some exceeds a truckโs usual dimensions. So the first things we ask are the weight, length, width and height, the lifting points, and whether there is a catalogue.
| Equipment | Truck | From |
|---|---|---|
| Spare parts, workshop tools and light equipment | Part load | SAR 7.3 per kg over 100 kg |
| Equipment on pallets | Part load by pallet | SAR 545 per pallet |
| Medium machines and small generators | Dyna or small truck | From SAR 1,390 |
| Dismantled production lines and factory equipment | Closed or flat trailer | From SAR 5,500 |
| Heavy or oversize equipment | Low-bed with permits | After surveying weight and dimensions |
โ ๏ธ Equipment wider than the road allows
Equipment exceeding the usual width or height needs a low-bed, permits and possibly an escort, which takes days. Send the dimensions early.
