Arabian Machinery & Heavy Equipment Company (AMHEC), a long-time customer of Tadano, has signed a landmark contract for 100 GR-800EX rough terrain cranes. This order represented one of the largest in Tadano’s 105-year history, marking a significant milestone in the partnership between the two companies.
The addition of 100 new units will enhance AMHEC's capabilities to support extensive rigging operations, particularly at drilling rigs across Saudi Arabia. AMHEC, based in Khobar and serving as a major provider of crane rentals and heavy lifting services, operates a fleet of over 400 cranes, a significant portion of which are Tadano models.
To commemorate the order, Tadano CEO Toshiaki Ujiie, AMHEC CEO Abdullah Faisal Al Suwaiket and Saleh Hamad Al-Mogbil, Managing Director of distributor Saleh & Abdulaziz Abahsain Co., Ltd., gathered at Tadano's Shido Plant in Kagawa, Japan, for a ceremonial handover. Mr. Ujiie presented Mr. Al Suwaiket with a golden key symbolizing the historic order.
“We are delighted to secure this historical single-order deal of 100 units of Tadano rough terrain cranes from our prestigious customer Arabian Machinery & Heavy Equipment Co. Ltd.,” Saleh Hamad Al-Mogbil said. “Abahsain’s Heavy Equipment Division will continue to serve Tadano crane customers with a kingdom-wide effective and reliable sales and aftersales network.”
With this significant order, Tadano and AMHEC are poised to take their long-standing relationship to new heights, ensuring continued excellence in crane operations across Saudi Arabia.
“We greatly appreciate Arabian Machinery & Heavy Equipment being such a longtime Tadano customer. Their order of 100 GR-800EX cranes demonstrates how such a partnership can continue to grow when you strive to meet and exceed expectations,” Ujiie said. “We also greatly appreciate the work and service of our partner and distributor Saleh & Abdulaziz Abahsain. They are a key reason why AMHEC continues to expand this outstanding relationship.”
