Bobcat Wins Three Awards at 2026 CMME Awards in Dubai

Bobcat secured three awards at the 2026 Construction Machinery Middle East Awards in Dubai, with recognitions covering compact equipment, skid-steer loaders and logistics equipment.

The awards were announced during a gala ceremony held at the Ritz-Carlton JBR in Dubai and attended by more than 120 guests from the regional construction equipment sector. The event presented a total of 35 recognitions, including 32 category awards and three Honourable Achievement plaques, selected from more than 100 nominees.

Bobcat received the Original Equipment Manufacturer of the Year – Compact Equipment award, assigned to Doosan Bobcat EMEA. The company also won Skid Steer Loader of the Year for its S450 skid-steer loader and Logistics Equipment of the Year – Bulk Handling for the Bobcat DV250S-7 forklift.

The results place Bobcat among the companies recognised at this year’s CMME Awards across more than one equipment category. The awards also reflect the company’s presence in both compact construction machinery and material-handling equipment in the Middle East market.

Gaby Rhayem, Regional Director for Middle East-Africa-CIS-Turkey for Doosan Bobcat, said the recognitions reflected the company’s product offering and its focus on customers.

“Bobcat is honoured to have been recognized with three distinguished industry awards at the CMME awards ceremony, reflecting the continued strength of the Bobcat brand and our commitment to excellence, innovation and customer-focused solutions to deliver trusted solutions to the construction equipment industry,”

Rhayem said.

The awards follow a period in which Bobcat has expanded its product portfolio in the Middle East and Africa. In recent years, the company has secured a significant share of the regional backhoe loader market, launched its latest generation of telehandlers and compact loaders, and expanded its presence in forklift and warehouse equipment. Bobcat has also continued to develop its portable power equipment range.

The company’s portfolio has also been extended with small articulated loaders and turf renovation equipment. This gives Bobcat a broader range of machines across construction, logistics, site support and related applications.

The S450 skid-steer loader award recognises one of Bobcat’s compact equipment models, while the DV250S-7 forklift award highlights the company’s activity in bulk-handling logistics equipment. Both categories are relevant to customers working in construction, rental, industrial yards and material-handling operations.

Rhayem said the awards also recognised the role of Bobcat’s teams, dealers and customers:

“These recognitions are especially meaningful because they highlight what matters most in our industry: performance, reliability, innovation and customer trust. They also reflect the strength of the Bobcat product portfolio, the dedication of our teams and the continued trust of our customers and partners. This reinforces Bobcat’s position, one more time, as a leader in compact equipment and logistics solutions,”

he said.

The Construction Machinery Middle East Awards recognise companies, products and individuals active in the regional construction machinery and allied services sector. According to the organisers, the 2026 edition was one of the most successful editions of the event to date.
