Can you ship a used SDLG excavator to Kenya?
Yes, ExcaYard regularly ships used SDLG excavators to Kenya. As a China-based used excavator export specialist, we source, inspect, and export SDLG machines to Mombasa and other Kenyan ports. With proper PVoC certification and reliable shipping, your excavator can be delivered in typically 28-45 days.
Machine Condition and 150-Point Inspection
Every used SDLG excavator we export undergoes a rigorous 150-point pre-shipment inspection. This covers engine performance, hydraulic system, undercarriage wear, electrical components, and structural integrity. We also verify working hours and use paint-thickness checks to detect any prior repairs or repainting. You receive a detailed report with photos and video, so you know exactly what you are buying before it leaves our yard. This transparency is key to avoiding surprises upon arrival in Kenya.
Documentation and Certifications for Kenya
Kenya requires a PVoC (Pre-Export Verification of Conformity) certificate for many imported goods, including used machinery. ExcaYard handles the entire PVoC process, ensuring your SDLG excavator meets Kenyan standards. We also provide essential shipping documents: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. If you are importing to other African countries, we can also arrange SONCAP (Nigeria), SABER (Saudi Arabia), or GSA (Ghana) as needed. Our team ensures all paperwork is correct to prevent customs delays.
Payment Terms
We accept T/T USD wire transfers, L/C through Bank of China, and Wise. For first-time buyers, we recommend a 30% deposit with the balance before shipment. L/C provides added security for larger orders. All payment details are confirmed in your proforma invoice.
Shipping Methods and Lead Time
We offer FOB or CIF terms. For SDLG excavators to Kenya, we typically use RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) or container shipping. Flat-rack is available for oversized units.
