Questions we are asked
What buyers in Morocco and West Africa ask about our Mohammedia yard.
Prices and stock
How much does a used excavator cost in Morocco?+
Our Caterpillar 323D in Mohammedia is MAD 845,000 with 387 hours on it. Prices for Morocco stock are quoted in dirhams so that local buyers can compare properly without doing currency sums.
Why are your Morocco machines priced in dirhams?+
Because the machine is priced where it stands and most buyers for it are local. Our China stock is priced in dollars for the same reason, since those buyers are international.
What machines do you have in Morocco right now?+
An excavator, a wheel loader and three trucks covering haulage, concrete and fuel. Stock changes as machines sell, so the equipment page is the place to see what is there today.
Is it cheaper to buy a machine in Morocco or import one?+
Buying locally saves you the freight, the wait and the clearing, and the douane is already settled. Importing can be cheaper on the machine itself, so it depends whether your priority is price or speed.
Douane and paperwork
What does the douane year on your listings mean?+
It means the import duty on that machine has already been paid and the year it was cleared. The machine is free to work in Morocco and you are not inheriting an unpaid obligation.
Do I have to pay customs on a machine bought in Morocco?+
Not on a machine that is already cleared, which is why we publish the douane year on every Morocco listing. It is the first thing serious local buyers check.
What paperwork comes with a Morocco machine?+
The invoice and the clearance documents that show the machine's status. Everything is handed over at the point of sale so there is nothing left hanging over you.
How do I pay for a machine in Morocco?+
Morocco stock is paid in full and collected, which keeps it simple. The invoice comes from Omega Machines and the terms are in writing before anything moves.
Seeing and collecting
Can I visit your yard in Mohammedia before buying?+
Yes, and we would encourage it. Message us first so we can be sure the machine you want to see is on site and somebody is free to show you around.
Where exactly is your Morocco yard?+
In Mohammedia, between Casablanca and Rabat, which puts it within easy reach of most of the country and a short drive from the Casablanca airport.
Can I collect the machine myself?+
Yes. Bring your own low loader or tell us and we will help arrange transport to your site. There is nothing to ship and nothing to wait for.
Do you deliver machines within Morocco?+
We can arrange inland transport to your site. Tell us where the machine is going and we will price the move alongside the machine.
Can West African buyers fly in to see a machine?+
Yes, and several do. Casablanca is well connected to West African capitals, which makes Mohammedia the one yard where a buyer from Dakar or Abidjan can realistically stand next to the machine first.
