Can you ship a used Komatsu 20-ton excavator to Kenya?
Yes, ExcaYard can ship a used Komatsu 20-ton excavator to Kenya. We handle the entire process from sourcing and inspection to export certification and shipping. With our 150-point pre-shipment inspection and expertise in Kenyan import requirements, you can expect a reliable machine delivered to your site.
Machine Condition and Inspection
Every used Komatsu 20-ton excavator we export undergoes a rigorous 150-point pre-shipment inspection. This covers all major systems: engine, hydraulics, undercarriage, electrical, and structural components. We verify the machine's working hours and use paint-thickness checks to detect any prior repairs or hidden damage. You receive a detailed report with photos and video, so you know exactly what you are buying before it leaves China. For more details on undercarriage checks, see our dedicated answer.
Export Certifications for Kenya
Kenya requires a PVoC (Pre-Export Verification of Conformity) certificate for used machinery. ExcaYard handles the entire PVoC process, including inspection by an authorized agency and issuance of the certificate. We also manage KEBS (Kenya Bureau of Standards) compliance where applicable. This ensures your excavator clears Kenyan customs without delays. We have extensive experience with Kenyan import regulations and can guide you through the documentation.
Payment Terms
We accept T/T (telegraphic transfer) in USD, L/C (letter of credit) through Bank of China, and Wise. For first-time buyers, we recommend a 30% deposit with the balance against a copy of the bill of lading. L/C is available for larger orders and provides additional security. All payment details are provided in the proforma invoice.
Shipping Methods and Lead Time
We offer FOB or CIF terms. For a 20-ton excavator, you can choose RoRo (roll-on/roll-off), container, or flat-rack shipping. RoRo is often the most cost-effective for wheeled or tracked machines that can be driven on board. Container shipping (typically 40ft flat-rack) offers better protection from the elements. Flat-rack is ideal for oversized cargo. Default ports of loading are Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, and Tianjin. The typical CIF lead time port-to-port is 28-45 days, depending on the schedule and destination port in Kenya (usually Mombasa).
