Award #1: GCC Equipment Rental Company of the Year – Heavy & Medium (Three-Peat Victory!)

Following its wins in both 2023 and 2024, Al Marwan Machinery took home one of the evening’s most prestigious titles: GCC Equipment Rental Company of the Year – Heavy & Medium. And this was a reaffirmation of a legacy that continues to grow stronger.

In 2025, Al Marwan Machinery made significant additions to its machinery rental fleet, reinforcing its position as one of the largest and most versatile heavy equipment rental providers in the region, with over 3,000 units spanning every major equipment category.

Key fleet upgrades this year include:

• 8 Amphibious Excavators and 2 Elevated Excavators – Engineered in-house to handle marine works, soft terrain, and high-visibility operations.
• 12 Caterpillar 740GC Articulated Dump Trucks and 6 Caterpillar 395 Excavators – Ideal for major haulage and excavation tasks.
• 10 Caterpillar D8 Dozers, along with 2 Caterpillar D11s and 2 Caterpillar D10s – Built for intensive earthmoving and heavy-duty site prep.

• Socma Forklifts, capable of lifting up to 50 tons, now support logistics hubs, ports, and large warehouses.

On a major ongoing project, Azizi's residential tower in Jebel Ali, you'll find a significant portion of our fleet at work. Currently, 22 of our 38-ton Kobelco excavators, expertly paired with Jisung hydraulic attachments, are operating there alongside a powerful fleet of 40-ton CAT dozers.

Award #2: Innovation of the Year – Local (For Amphibious and Elevated Excavators)

In a fiercely competitive category that honors locally engineered breakthroughs, Al Marwan Machinery stood out for its amphibious and elevated (high-bed) excavators. Both are equipment that have redefined what’s possible in coastal, swampy, and high-visibility environments.

Kobelco Amphibious SK380 Excavator

Manufactured right here in the UAE, this digger features custom-built pontoons and corrosion-resistant components that allow it to float, dredge, and operate in shallow waters, wetlands, and reclaimed land. 

Now available for rent or sale, with immediate delivery for contractors looking to mobilize quickly on marine or environmental worksites.

Its innovation lies in the adaptation to Gulf terrain and water profiles, demonstrated in projects like the Ajman Corniche renovation, where our amphibious excavator played a key role.

Kobelco SK850 High Bed Excavator

From our workshop in Saudi Arabia to the bustling man-made islands of Abu Dhabi, our Kobelco high-bed excavators are making a noticeable impact on projects that demand both power and visibility.

Engineered specifically for challenging environments, including deep excavations and marine dredging, these machines feature elevated cabins, reinforced chassis, and high-lift booms, enabling operators to work safely and efficiently in areas where standard excavators fall short.

Award #3: UAE Newcomer of the Year – Sinoboom Middle East and Africa (Powered by Al Marwan)

As the proud UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman dealer for Sinoboom, Al Marwan's team was thrilled to see them clinch the Newcomer of the Year award, a true testament to our strong partnership and shared success.
