First Bobcat E20 excavators for Oman
Oman National Engineering & Investment Co., based in
Muscat in the Sultanate of Oman, has taken delivery
of the first mini-excavators to be sold in the country,
comprising 20 new Bobcat E20 compact excavators
supplied by International Heavy Equipment LLC (IHE).
“We are delighted with this order, which is the result of
pioneering work by Bobcat and IHE to introduce the mini-
excavator concept in Oman,” says Gaby Rhayem, regional
director Middle East and Africa for Bobcat.
Oman National Engineering & Investment Co. was formed
in 1978 to manage the Rural Electricity System for the
Ministry of Electricity & Water Established. For more than
35 years, the company has developed to become a leading
supplier of services to the Utility and Engineering sectors
in Oman.
Operating from the Gala area of Muscat, IHE is the
Trucks, Buses and Equipment company of The Zubair Corporation. The
company has been the authorised distributor for the Bobcat range of
equipment in Oman for well over 25 years. The Bobcat range is one of
many world renowned manufacturers and products that IHE represents
in Oman.
The Bobcat E20 2 t model is a Zero Housing Swing (ZHS) excavator,
which means that it offers enhanced Zero Tail Swing (ZTS) functionality
by further protecting the front upper structure corners turning within
the swing circle. The ZHS configuration in the E20 excavator therefore
provides 320° of free rotation when working close to structures,
without sacrificing on operator comfort or performance.
Oman National Engineering & Investment Co. chose the Bobcat E20
excavator because of its ability to unite all the benefits of the ZHS
design with the high performance and stability of a 2 t conventional
tail swing excavator.
When fully retracted, the undercarriage allows the excavator to
go through narrow spaces; and, when fully expanded, it provides
optimum stability for the excavator, especially when working over the
side. Expansion and retraction are simple and easy via a switch on the
control panel.
