Mannai Heavy Equipment Division delivers yet again

The order had been placed by the ministry through a competitive tendering process during 2008.

The equipment in question is the 456ZX JCB Wheeled Loading Shovel equipped with a high-lift arm and a 3.3 cubic meter general purpose bucket that is ideal for shoveling and loading operations.

The machine is powered by a very capable six cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine putting out 216 bhp of power through a four wheel drive automatic transmission. The loaders are expected to be used by the ministry for civil works and public projects

"Mannai HED has been working with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Agriculture for over four decades now," shares Hichem Said, Sales Manager, Mannai HED, "And in fact, since the contract for the loaders was awarded to us, we have won yet more tenders to supply equipment to the MED which we will be fulfilling during the course of 2009."

JCB, in partnership with Mannai HED, is already one of the country's premier suppliers of construction and road equipment such as wheeled loading shovels, hydraulic excavators, telehandlers and skid steer loaders.

"With JCB's expertise in heavy equipment and Mannai HED's local market knowledge, the two companies complement each other perfectly," says Said. "Our shared passion for quality products and excellent service has made us a force to be reckoned with in Qatar's heavy equipment industry."

As for the company's long business relationship with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Agriculture Said says, "We consider it an honor to have been recognized as a dependable supplier of quality equipment at a fair price for so many years. And in a way, this is Mannai Trading Co.'s contribution to society and the infrastructure of Qatar."
