How a Nigerian Construction Firm Saved 40% on Roadwork Costs with Used Excavators

In 2025, a mid-sized construction firm based in Lagos, Nigeria, took on a major rural road expansion project covering over 15 kilometers of rough terrain. To keep within budget, they explored alternatives to buying new equipment — and that’s when they discovered our certified used excavators.

The Challenge

The project required multiple units of heavy equipment, including excavators, compactors, and graders. However, new machines from international suppliers came with long lead times, high upfront costs, and warranty terms that didn’t fit local timelines. The team needed reliable machinery — fast and affordable.

Our Solution

We supplied the client with two Komatsu PC200 used excavators from our Japan inventory, each fully inspected, refurbished, and shipped within 14 days. We also included operator manuals and post-delivery tech support through WhatsApp.

The Results

  • Cost Savings: Over 40% saved compared to new equipment quotes.
  • Zero Downtime: Machines ran continuously for 10 weeks without a single breakdown.
  • Fast ROI: Client recovered machine cost within the first phase of the project.

Client Feedback

“We were skeptical about used machines at first, but these excavators outperformed even some rentals we had before. Great value, smooth shipping, and zero hassle.”
— Emmanuel, Project Manager, Lagos

Takeaway

When you choose quality used heavy equipment with transparent specs and reliable support, you reduce costs without compromising performance. For projects across Africa, Asia, or Southeast markets — this is how smart construction teams scale sustainably.
