KSA Business: Mammoet boosts heavy lifting, transport capability in Saudi Arabia
Mammoet, a global leader in engineered heavy lift and transport sector, has announced a major investment in new lifting and transport equipment in Saudi Arabia with the deployment of seven Mercedes-Benz trucks, 60 Goldhofer conventional axle lines, Azobé crane mats, and a range of all-terrain and crawler cranes in the kingdom.
The crane fleet comprises three 160-tonne, one 250-tonne and one 500-tonne all terrain cranes, as well as two 250-tonne and one 400-tonne crawler cranes, thus strengthening Mammoet’s operational capability and increasing the availability of specialised assets across the country.
The investment forms part of Mammoet’s long-term growth strategy in the kingdom, strengthening its in-country capability and reducing reliance on equipment mobilised from outside the country.
By increasing local equipment availability, Mammoet provides customers with greater schedule certainty and flexibility while supporting concurrent projects.
Customers will benefit from faster equipment availability and greater flexibility across heavy lifting, transport, shutdown and maintenance activities.
Based at Mammoet KSA’s operational hub in Al Jubail, the additional equipment enables the company to support more projects simultaneously while maintaining its high standards of safety and engineering.
The expanded fleet enhances Mammoet’s ability to support critical turnaround and maintenance projects, where detailed planning, readily available equipment and precise execution are essential to minimising downtime and keeping facilities operating safely, it stated.
“Saudi Arabia is one of the world’s most active industrial and construction markets, with customers delivering an increasing number of major projects simultaneously,” said Abdul Rouf, General Manager, Mammoet KSA.
As Saudi Arabia continues to accelerate industrial, energy and infrastructure development, demand for specialised heavy lifting and transport solutions continues to grow.
To meet this demand, Mammoet has invested in new lifting and transport equipment, strengthening its operational capability and increasing the availability of specialised assets across the country, he stated.
Rouf said this investment increases the availability of specialised equipment within the kingdom, allowing it to respond more quickly to customer requirements, support multiple projects at the same time and provide the engineering expertise needed for increasingly demanding operations.
“Alongside expanding our fleet, we continue to strengthen our local team to ensure every project is delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest standard,” he added.
