Meeting Saudi's Construction Surge with KOBELCO Crawler Cranes

As Saudi Arabia strides forward with its ambitious Vision 2030, the nation's construction and infrastructure sectors are experiencing an unprecedented boom. This surge is largely driven by the Giga-Projects Program, in anticipation of major global events like the Riyadh Expo 2030 and the FIFA World Cup 2034. In this context, the demand for high-quality heavy machinery, particularly lifting equipment like crawler cranes, is on the rise. Enter KOBELCO, one of the top Japanese crawler crane manufacturers, whose products have become synonymous with efficiency and safety in the region.

This new partnership between Al Marwan and KOBELCO comes at a critical time. Saudi contractors, faced with the daunting task of shaping the nation’s future landscape, now have access to KOBELCO crawler cranes tailored to their specific project needs. These cranes are particularly suited for the challenging terrains of Saudi Arabia, from the sprawling urban developments to the rugged mountains of NEOM. KOBELCO’s robust undercarriages are designed to navigate these diverse environments with ease, ensuring safe and efficient operations. Moreover, their enhanced lifting capacities and precision in material handling are invaluable in areas where every movement counts.
