Verified West African delivery times from our 2025-2026 operations.
West African excavator delivery times depend on the destination port, customs efficiency, and inland-transport leg. Here's our verified 2026 data.
| Destination | Port | Total lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Lagos, Nigeria | Apapa/Tin Can | 8-12 weeks |
| Abuja, Nigeria | via Lagos | 9-13 weeks |
| Accra, Ghana | Tema | 5-7 weeks |
| Tarkwa, Ghana | Takoradi | 5-8 weeks |
| Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire | Abidjan | 6-8 weeks |
| Dakar, Senegal | Dakar | 5-7 weeks |
Delivery to Nigeria typically takes 5–8 weeks via Lagos container port, including pre-export inspection (3-5 days), ocean freight, customs clearance at Lagos (Apapa / Tin Can Island), and final-mile delivery to the project site. Apapa and Tin Can Island ports handle most heavy-equipment imports. We work with established clearing agents in Lagos.
Every machine is enrolled in our service tracking programme: scheduled maintenance reminders, parts pre-positioning, 72-hour field-service response for major mechanical events, and technical hotline access. Parts inventory is held in our regional warehouse for fast dispatch.
