Fahad S Al Tamimi & Partners Co (Tamimi Rentals) invests in Grove rough-terrain cranes to diversify its business

November 20, 2020

  • Tamimi Rentals purchases 50 new Grove Rough-terrain Cranes to lead its long-term business expansion in oil and gas work. 
  • The order consists entirely of GRT8100 models, which the company selected for their powerful lift capacity and flexibility in navigating challenging job sites. 

Tamimi Rentals is using a large investment in Grove Rough-terrain Cranes to drive expansion at the company’s construction division, specifically to help it win more work in oil and gas fields. The 50 GRT8100 cranes will join the company’s rental fleet that already includes over 40 Grove all-terrain cranes, as well as a number of older Rough-terrain Cranes. 

Grove rough-terrain cranes have long been the most popular choice for oil and gas work, with their reliability, strength and versatility ensuring the widest possible job scope on oilfields. 

Mohammed Fahad S Al-Tamimi, CEO of Fahad S Al Tamimi & Partners Co (Tamimi Rentals), said the GRT8100 offered a range of advantages. 
 
“We chose Grove GRT8100 rough-terrain cranes because they have a very good load chart which is about 25 percent stronger than competitive machines,” he said “We also liked the precise and customizable movements that the Crane Control System (CCS) offers. Having close control is very important when lifting complex and expensive equipment around oil rigs. In addition, we know that Grove cranes are reliable, having operated many all-terrain and rough-terrain cranes from the company down the years and we have a strong relationship with our local dealer, Kanoo Machinery.”

The first GRT8100 cranes have already been delivered, with others to follow over the coming months. They will be dispatched to a range of jobsites where typical lifts will include placing heavy machinery at shorter radii, for example when moving rigs, or lighter picks, working with fully extended booms for longer periods. 

Given the variety of projects lined up for the GRT8100 cranes, Tamimi Rentals will be able to take full advantage of the crane’s 100 t maximum capacity combined with a  five-section, full power boom that extends up to 47 m, and which can increase its length to 64 m with the use of a jib. Power comes from a Cummins QSB6.7L engine and the model offers an overall GVW of nearly 55 t.  

Tamimi Rentals currently runs a range of Grove all-terrain cranes from the manufacturer’s 4, 5, 6 and 7-axle categories, as well as a number of rough-terrain cranes, some of which were purchased several decades ago. All of these were supplied via Kanoo Machinery, and the close partnership between the two companies was another reason for this latest large purchase, as Manoj Tripathy, CEO of Kanoo, explained. 

“Tamimi Rentals has been our customer for a long time and we appreciate their continued confidence in Kanoo and Manitowoc with this latest investment,” he said. “We hope to strengthen our partnership and continue to provide exceptional service in the years to come.”
