Arabian Machinery and Heavy Equipment Company

What Arabian Machinery and Heavy Equipment Company does

Arabian Machinery and Heavy Equipment Company (AMHEC) is a privately held heavy equipment rental and industrial services firm headquartered in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia's Eastern Region. The company was founded in 2006/2007 and has built its business around four integrated service lines: Heavy Equipment Rental (a fleet of more than 500 medium and large hydraulic cranes with 50–750 ton lifting capacity), Transportation Services (500+ low-beds, flat-bed trailers, dynas, pick-ups, and buses), Facility Management (end-to-end remote camp operations for oil & gas, mining, and infrastructure clients), and Rig Move Services (300+ units of low-beds, forklifts, air compressors, welding machines, generators, tower lights, and man lifts). Manpower provision — including Saudi Aramco-certified crane operators, rigging supervisors, and licensed drivers — is bundled with each line.

AMHEC's commercial model is project- and usage-based B2B rental, with quote-based pricing that varies by equipment type, capacity, and duration. The company sells exclusively through direct enterprise relationships rather than intermediated channels, targeting major Saudi industrial operators and their LSTK contractors. Its named customer roster includes Saudi Aramco, SABIC, SCECO, NESR, SLB (Schlumberger), KCA Deutag, ZP Arabia, and ZPEC — almost all energy-sector counterparties operating in the Eastern Province. Revenue is concentrated in oil & gas, with secondary exposure to mining and infrastructure projects. The company is family-owned (Al Suwaiket family, with Abdullah Faisal Al Suwaiket as CEO) and shows no evidence of external institutional funding. Its stated strategic direction includes fleet modernization, service upgrades, and establishment of regional branches across Saudi Arabia's industrial regions.

Broad incumbents

• Sarens: Global heavy lifting and crane rental specialist with one of the world's largest crane fleets. Comparable to AMHEC as a heavy-lift crane rental provider serving oil & gas, energy, and infrastructure clients, though operating at much larger scale and across multiple geographies.
• Mammoet: Dutch-based global leader in heavy lifting and transport with extensive crane fleets and engineered heavy transport services. Comparable to AMHEC in core crane rental and heavy transport offerings to oil & gas, petrochemical, and infrastructure customers worldwide.
• Tiong Woon Corporation: Singapore-listed heavy lift and crane rental company serving oil & gas, petrochemicals, construction, and infrastructure across Asia and the Middle East. Comparable to AMHEC as a regional crane rental specialist with an oil & gas customer focus.

Direct peers

• United Gulf Equipment Co. Saudi Arabia-based heavy equipment rental company serving oil & gas and industrial clients with crane and heavy equipment fleets. Direct competitor to AMHEC in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia with overlapping customer base in ARAMCO-related projects.
• Al Mutlaq Holding (Heavy Equipment Division): Major Saudi industrial conglomerate with heavy equipment rental and industrial services operations serving oil & gas and construction clients. Direct competitor to AMHEC in Saudi Arabia's heavy equipment rental market, particularly in ARAMCO-related contracts.

Regional players

• Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. US-headquartered crane rental and rigging services company with large crawler and hydraulic crane fleet. Comparable business model to AMHEC as a specialized crane rental provider, though operating primarily in North America rather than the Middle East.
• Maxim Crane Works: One of the largest crane rental providers in North America with a fleet of hydraulic and lattice-boom crawler cranes. Comparable to AMHEC in core crane rental business model and asset-heavy operating structure, though serving a different geography.

Others

• Herc Rentals: Large US-based equipment rental company (NYSE: HRI) offering aerial, earthmoving, and industrial equipment rentals. Comparable to AMHEC as a broad equipment rental provider but with a much wider portfolio and primarily North American industrial customer base.
• United Rentals: Largest equipment rental company in the world (NYSE: URI) with extensive aerial, earthmoving, and specialty equipment fleets. Comparable to AMHEC only as a reference point for the global equipment rental operating model; significantly broader portfolio and customer base than AMHEC's oil & gas-focused crane rental niche.
