Sharjah-based Al Wasit Machinery (AWM), a leading supplier of heavy construction machinery and related spare parts, says it has won the trust of construction industry by providing the right equipment and support as required for the infrastructure development of the UAE, which in turn has helped it to clinch some of the major orders for construction machinery in Abu Dhabi, as in the rest of the emirates.

The company is now looking at expanding its horizons by opening new branches across the Middle East.
“Though we had been catering to the Abu Dhabi customers for a long time, our presence in the area has been strengthened since 2000 when we opened our branch office. Since then, the level of support has been stepped up to meet the increasing needs of the construction industry, supplying our wide range of equipment for the building construction, roads construction, quarry and mining, oilfield, transportation and materials handling industries,” says Mohammed Abdul Qader, managing director of Al Wasit Machinery.
The company has supplied heavy construction machinery such as excavators, and wheel loaders for several projects including the Al Reem Island, an exclusive residential, commercial and business development on a natural island off the coast of Abu Dhabi.
A 90-tonnes-per-hour mobile asphalt batching plant from Italy-based SIM is being used at the Madam Roads project as is other heavy machinery in various road and pipeline construction projects across the UAE. Besides, a 250 tonnes-per-hour plant has also been installed in Al Ain.
Other products in hot demand are Al Wasit’s tower and mobile cranes which are custom-built to strict specifications using top-quality components. Marketed under the AWM brand, the cranes are becoming increasingly popular in the region. A recent deal concluded in Abu Dhabi included 23 AWM hydraulic truck cranes with capacities ranging from 25 to 100 tonnes.
Part of the Al Wasit group, Al Wasit Machinery is engaged in the business of trading of heavy construction machinery and related spare parts as well as the hiring of heavy and construction equipment and real estate in the UAE.
Headquartered in Sharjah, the group takes prides in the fact that it has contributed significantly to the rapid growth in the infrastructure of the UAE through supplies of quality construction equipment since it began its operation more than 20 years ago. The company is one of the first organisations in the region to be engaged in the trading of used machinery.
Over the years, as the country witnessed a boom in the construction industry and allied business segments, the company underwent a rapid growth which has placed it in the forefront among suppliers of quality construction equipment. Subsequently, various lines of ancillary products were added to the product range.
Al Wasit Machinery represents several leading manufacturers of construction equipment and allied products worldwide. Currently, the company offers a wide range of equipment, namely earthmoving, road construction, concrete and asphalt plants, materials handling, transportation, other allied products, work tools and attachments.
These include Hyundai (Korea) excavators and wheel loaders, Sumitomo (Japan) excavators, GEHL (US) skid steer loaders, Faresin (Italy) telehandlers, AWM – Zoomlion hydraulic cranes, Everdigm (Korea) concrete pumps, CAMC (China) concrete transit trucks and prime movers and SIM (Italy) asphalt batching plants, among others.
Al Wasit’s operations cover more than 30 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the CIS region, and are supported through its branches in the UAE, Oman and Qatar, with more branch offices to be opened soon across the Middle East.
Its Plant Hire and Transportation division deals exclusively in the rentals of a wide range of construction equipment and transportation of heavy machines. The large fleet of plant, machinery and vehicles include modern and reliable equipment, ranging from large dozers to small welding generators.
Al Wasit also maintains a large stock of regular spare parts and assures prompt supply of OEM and other specialised spare parts for a wide range of equipment. It also offers work tools and attachments from leading manufacturers worldwide in addition to the company's branded products.
“We believe that equipment is only as good as the support provided. Our success for more than two decades is proof of the faith our customers have in us,”says Abdul Qader. “Over the years, the high quality of products offered, regular supply of genuine spare parts and prompt service support has earned us the respect we now enjoy in the industry. The vision of our founder and chairman, Abdul Qader Mohammed, is to provide our customers with a one-stop solution for all their heavy equipment business needs and to be a leader in the supply of construction machinery and earthmoving equipment to the region, which we strive to realise through dedication, hard work and professionalism in all fields.”
