Specifying your wheeled excavator

Wheeled Excavators for Kenya are typically specified in the 13 – 25 tons range. The configuration options that matter most are: undercarriage track-shoe width and pattern (standard, wide, swamp, or rock-pattern), bucket capacity and pattern (general-purpose, heavy-duty, rock), boom configuration (standard reach, long reach, super-long reach), and hydraulic-circuit options for attachment lines. Cab options include standard, ROPS/FOPS-rated, and HAZOP-rated depending on the operating environment. Each wheeled excavator we ship to Kenya is configured pre-export based on the buyer's specified application — which means the machine arrives ready to work rather than needing weeks of configuration changes on-site. We also fit high-altitude air filtration and reinforced cooling for African high-ambient operations as standard.

After-sales

Buying an excavator from us is only the start. Post-delivery, each machine is enrolled in our service tracking — scheduled maintenance reminders, parts pre-positioning, and 72-hour breakdown response are standard. Our regional warehouse in Paramaribo holds fast-moving parts inventory for every major brand we supply — bushings, pins, hydraulic seals, fuel and oil filters, undercarriage components, and common consumables. For Kenya-specific needs, we maintain pre-positioned parts at our regional logistics hubs, which means typical part lead times measure in days rather than weeks. Field-service callouts are available across the country for major mechanical events. Our technicians are trained on all twelve brands we supply, with manufacturer-certified service authority for several. Operator training packages are included with every major sale — typically a one-week on-site programme covering safe operation, basic maintenance, daily walk-around inspection, and productivity techniques. We also offer extended warranty coverage beyond the manufacturer's standard term, structured monthly or annually depending on duty cycle.
