Heavy Equipment Companies Accelerate Aceh's Post-Disaster Recovery
JAKARTA – Heavy equipment and mining service companies have begun involvement in accelerating the recovery of Aceh region, which was affected by disaster in November 2025. This support is provided through the supply of heavy equipment and humanitarian assistance to help rehabilitation and reconstruction in affected areas.
PT Hexindo Adiperkasa Tbk (IDX: HEXA) provided assistance through the use of a Morooka MST800 carrier dump unit to residents of Pidie Jaya Regency, Aceh Province. The handover was carried out together with PT Berlian Amal Perkasa and Morooka Co., Ltd as part of the company’s corporate social responsibility initiatives.
President Director of PT Hexindo Adiperkasa Tbk, Dwi Swasono, stated that the company is working to contribute to the recovery process of disaster-affected areas. “As a provider of heavy equipment products and services in Indonesia, Hexindo is not only committed as a one-stop solution for the heavy equipment industry, but also continues to strive to contribute to society,” said Dwi Swasono in a written statement on Wednesday (11 March 2026).
“The use of the Morooka MST800 carrier dump unit, which is specifically designed to work in difficult terrain, is expected to help accelerate the recovery process of disaster-affected areas in Aceh and support field operations more effectively,” he continued.
The Morooka carrier dump is well-known in Japan as equipment frequently used in post-disaster recovery processes. The initiative to utilise this equipment for disaster management in Aceh was conceived by President Director of PT Berlian Amal Perkasa, Daisuke Hirata, together with Managing Director of Morooka Co., Ltd, Noboru Morooka.
Previously, Hexindo also provided assistance through several ZX210F-5G excavator units in various Sumatran regions. One such unit was given to the Government of North Aceh Regency to support repair efforts in Sawang Village, Lhok Pungki Hamlet, Gunci Gampong, and other areas.
The excavators are being used to clear flood debris and accelerate the repair of damaged road access and basic infrastructure. Similar operational support has been mobilised for West Sumatra region according to field operational requirements.
Beyond heavy equipment support, Hexindo and its employees also collected humanitarian funds totalling IDR 104,678,705. These donations were channelled through the Jakarta East branch of the Indonesian Red Cross to support emergency response operations, including provision of basic necessities and medical supplies.
Through this initiative, the company affirmed its commitment to not only playing a role in the heavy equipment industrial sector, but also contributing to supporting the social and economic recovery of communities in disaster-affected areas.
Since the onset of the disaster, United Tractors together with its subsidiaries has distributed humanitarian assistance to Aceh Special Region Province, West Sumatra, and North Sumatra, involving employee volunteers and the company’s emergency response team.
“We have provided maximum support from the initial stage of disaster response and continue to do so up to the present. Our focus is to ensure assistance reaches those affected optimally so that impacted communities can recover quickly,” said Head of Corporate Communications and Sustainability Division at United Tractors, Dianwahyu Sri Purnomo, in a statement on Tuesday (27 January 2026).
By early January 2026, the United Tractors Group had established 17 relief posts at various locations in affected regions. To support aid distribution, the company mobilised 31 heavy equipment units, 14 land transportation vehicles, and one helicopter unit.
Logistics assistance distributed included 792 basic provisions packages, 300 hygiene and baby supplies packages, healthcare services for over 1,300 beneficiaries, over 150,000 ready-to-eat food packages, 612 school equipment sets, and 20 kitchen equipment sets.
The Emergency Response Team and employee volunteers directly ensured aid reached the correct recipients. In West Sumatra, assistance focused on Agam Regency and Bukittinggi City, whilst in North Sumatra it reached Sibolga and Tapanuli areas.
In Aceh Special Region Province, assistance was distributed to Langsa, Bener Meriah, and Aceh Tamiang. United Tractors stated it will continue to monitor the situation’s development and strengthen coordination with regional governments and humanitarian organisations to ensure sustainable post-disaster recovery.
