Saudi Arabian heavy equipment rental company Bin Quraya, a member of the Bin Quraya Group, recently invested in ten, 40-m (131 ft) Genie Xtra Capacity (XC) boom lifts to support the needs of Saudi Aramco, the company’s key customer.

 

The machines were supplied by Saudi-based authorised Genie distributor, Middle East Development Company (Medco). 

 

For Aramco’s steel erectors, electricians, welders, pipe and millwright fitters, whose work involves the use of heavy tools and materials, these heavier capacity machines will provide the ability to work more efficiently and productively, said the company.

 

All 10 Genie SX-125 XC booms were delivered this January.

 

“When we invest, we are looking for equipment with an excellent reputation in the market backed by a local distributor that understands our needs, that we can consider as a true business partner,” said Hamad Bin Quraya. 

 

He continued: “With Genie and Medco, we have both. In addition to the reliability and quality that Genie products are known for, Medco has a great track record for its holistic vision of after-sales service.” 

 

Genie Xtra Capacity booms are designed to work in applications that require higher capacities. Like all models of the Genie XC family, the Genie SX-125 XC boom features a dual envelope design offering an unrestricted platform capacity of 300 kg and a restricted capacity of 454 kg. 

 

“Offering a third more capacity than standard, our Genie XC booms combine the latest new-generation Genie technologies to raise more people, more tools and more materials to increase productivity, and make work in applications that require higher capacities faster and easier,” said Gary Cooke, Genie regional sales manager, Terex AWP, for the Middle East at Terex Equipment Middle East. – TradeArabia News Service
