Buying Heavy Equipment in Kenya
Kenya is one of East Africa's most active construction markets, driven by sustained government investment in road infrastructure, energy projects, and urban development. The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) continues to expand the national road network, creating consistent demand for excavators, motor graders, rollers, and compactors across the country. County governments have also significantly increased road construction budgets under devolution, broadening demand beyond Nairobi into all 47 counties.
Most In-Demand Machines in Kenya
Excavators in the 20t–35t class dominate Kenya's road construction and earthworks sector — CAT 320, 323, and Komatsu PC300 are the most requested models. Motor graders (CAT 140 and Komatsu GD655) are critical for road base preparation across the Northern Corridor and coastal road programmes. Road rollers — particularly Bomag BW213 and HAMM HD+ series tandem vibratory models — are in consistent demand for asphalt and sub-base compaction. Wheel loaders are heavily used at the aggregate quarries supplying Nairobi's ongoing construction.
Mining & Quarrying
Kenya's mining sector — covering soda ash, fluorspar, titanium, and construction aggregates — creates demand for larger excavators and bulldozers, particularly in the Kwale, Kilifi, and Kerio Valley regions. Bulldozers (CAT D6 and D7) are widely used for overburden removal and haul road maintenance at mining sites across the country.

Kenya Import Questions
What port do you ship to in Kenya?
All shipments to Kenya go through the Port of Mombasa (KE MOM). We handle all export documentation and provide the commercial invoice, packing list, original Bill of Lading, certificate of origin, and pre-shipment inspection certificate required for KRA customs clearance.
What is the transit time from Europe to Mombasa?
Transit from European ports (Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg) to Mombasa is typically 22–26 days depending on the vessel schedule and routing. We confirm the vessel name, voyage number, and ETA at the time of departure.
What import duties apply to used heavy machinery in Kenya?
Import duty rates on heavy construction machinery in Kenya vary by HS code — capital equipment typically attracts 0–25% duty. Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) also levies VAT (16%), Import Declaration Form (IDF) levy (3.5%), and Railway Development Levy (2%). Your Mombasa clearing agent calculates the exact payable amount based on the customs value declared on our documentation.
Is a PVOC (Pre-Verification of Conformity) certificate required for Kenya?
Kenya requires a Pre-Verification of Conformity (PVoC) for many regulated product categories under KEBS. Heavy construction machinery generally falls under this requirement. We can arrange the PVoC inspection at the European source as part of the export process.
Can you deliver to Nairobi or upcountry locations?
Our CIF price covers delivery to the Port of Mombasa. Inland haulage from Mombasa to Nairobi or upcountry is arranged by your local clearing agent after customs release. Transit times are typically 1–3 days by road or via the SGR cargo service.
