Operator-included rental is available — useful for projects without an in-house trained operator. Long-term rentals (3+ months) qualify for preferential rates and dedicated machine assignment, which means you get the same unit for the full term. Lease-to-own conversion is available at the end of 12-month and longer rentals, with the rental payments credited against the purchase price.

After-sales support
Buying an excavator from us is only the start. Our after-sales network covers preventive-maintenance scheduling, parts replenishment, operator training, and warranty administration for all units we supply. 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 Ethiopia-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.
