Monrovia takes the machines, and iron ore and roads put most of them to work.
The Freeport of Monrovia is where Liberia's imported machinery arrives. Behind it sit iron ore, the rubber estates, a road programme that never really stops and building work in and around the capital.
Ore work takes production excavators and large wheel loaders, with graders keeping the haul roads flat and site tippers moving the material. Buying slightly larger than you think you need is almost always cheaper over a year than running a smaller machine at its limit.
Single drum rollers for base, tandems only where there is asphalt, graders for shaping, tippers for haulage. City building takes twenty tonne excavators, backhoe loaders and mixers.
Liberia gets a lot of rain and it decides what works. Tracked machines earn their place on soft ground, undercarriage wear goes up in mud, and a stock of filters on site is worth more than it costs.
Pick an agent who handles plant regularly. We send the commercial invoice, the packing list and the bill of lading before the vessel arrives so the file is complete when it docks.
China for the lowest machine price and the deepest choice. Morocco for speed and because you can fly to Casablanca and look at the machine yourself before any money moves.
What contractors and mining companies in Liberia ask us.
The machine and the port are all we need. We will also say whether Morocco beats China for your particular unit.
