Scania and Al Shirawi have supplied the region’s first ever Scania 10X4 chassis truck to Hog Technologies and Diversified Waterblasting FZ
The special vehicle will be deployed on a special mission to maintain the runway at Dubai Airport, one of the largest airports in the world.
Al Shirawi Enterprises said it supported Hog Technologies and Diversified Waterblasting FZE to specify the perfect truck that would be well equipped to take on the intensive highways and airport runways clean-up missions it will be used for.
The 10×4 New Truck Generation truck has been assembled with the Stripe Hog SH24.0, a water blasting and recovery system. The Stripe Hog SH24.0 designed for either asphalt or concrete air fields and roadways for paint and thermoplastic removal, surface preparation, road retexturing, hydraulic spill clean-up and the removal of rubber deposits from the airport runways.
“The approach and the support of Al Shirawi during negotiations was really unique especially regarding the technical details of the Scania 10×4 chassis,” said Sabrina Lobo, Strategic growth Manager at Hog Technologies.
She further explained: “Our US factory did ask a lot of technical questions and Al Shirawi Enterprises along with Scania were able to answer them all quickly and accurately. We asked for a very special chassis configuration and Scania did give us exactly what we need.
“Al Shirawi and Scania were very flexible in the shipping arrangements as well, the chassis had to be shipped to the US first and thereafter to Dubai after mounting the equipment. As far as the vehicle is concerned, it is excellent and exactly as per our requirements and is the Scania New Truck Generation (NTG). Now we are waiting to put it to its real job ie Airport Runway
Thani Al Shirawi, Executive Director, Al Shirawi Enterprises LLC, Dubai, said his company was excited to be involved in the creation of the truck specification.
