Dubai’s Cranes Boom

It is a common claim that 25% of the world’s cranes are working in Dubai, but it is difficult to verify this information as there is no central database that keeps track of the exact number of cranes in operation worldwide. However, it is true that Dubai has a vast number of construction projects underway and has been experiencing a building boom for the past few decades, which has led to a significant increase in the number of cranes operating in the city.

According to some estimates, there may be over 20,000 cranes operating in Dubai at any given time, which is an impressive number considering the city’s relatively small size. It is also worth noting that Dubai is not the only city with a high number of cranes, as other rapidly growing cities around the world, such as Shanghai and Mumbai, also have a large number of cranes in operation.
