Fourteen lanes

Export markets

Fourteen destinations, each with its own discharge port, its own demand profile and its own inspection regime. The container is the same; the paperwork is not.

Wholesale onlyRegular orders are one full container — 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft, or with gearboxes 45 + 45 / 65 + 65. New customers can make their first purchase from 10 engines (10, 20, 30 or 40), with gearboxes and consolidated shipping, at list price, with no first-order surcharge (LCL freight quoted separately): first-order offer. A second order can start from 45 engines, also at list price. We do not sell single units.

More modelsBeyond the models on this page we hold many more — 488 engine and gearbox families in our warehouse list, always subject to inventory changes. Tell us how many units you need so we can give you the best price: full stock list.

A container of used engines is a straightforward thing to load and a complicated thing to land. What changes between one destination and the next is rarely the engine — it is the conformity regime at the far end, the port that clears it fastest and the models that actually sell once it is there. A load that clears Mombasa on a KEBS certificate will sit at Apapa without a SONCAP exemption argued correctly.

Each lane page below sets out the discharge ports we use, the engine families that move in that market, and the certification and documentation that country requires before the goods are shipped, not after. Where a market has its own guide — Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania — the page links straight to it.

The commercial terms do not change by lane: one full container — 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft, or 45 + 45 / 65 + 65 with gearboxes — every engine Grade A, priced FOB with freight quoted separately per lane. A new customer’s first purchase can start from 10 engines, with gearboxes and consolidated shipping, at list price, with no first-order surcharge (LCL freight quoted separately) — see the first-order offer. If your destination is not on this list, ask — we quote lanes we do not yet list, we just do not claim experience we do not have. Before you do, check whether used engines can land there at all: the import rules atlas covers 23 jurisdictions, including the markets that ban used parts.

NigeriaOur highest-volume lane. Lagos-bound containers of 1NZ, 2NZ and Hyundai-Kia stock leave regularly and the buyers who run them reorder on a cycle.Discharge: Apapa and Tin Can Island, LagosKenyaA market that knows exactly what it wants. Kenyan buyers are specific about models and unforgiving about grade honesty — which suits how we work.Discharge: MombasaGhanaSmaller than Nigeria in volume, steadier in payment behaviour, and a market where a reliable supplier keeps a customer for years.Discharge: Tema and TakoradiSaudi ArabiaThe highest value per container of any lane we run. Large-displacement petrol dominates, and the buyer is a workshop network rather than a market trader.Discharge: Jeddah and DammamTanzaniaA market that buys practically. Light commercial and diesel move as hard as passenger petrol, and rebuilders take volume that other lanes leave behind.Discharge: Dar es SalaamUgandaLandlocked, which changes the arithmetic: inland haulage from the coast is a real cost, so container planning matters more here than almost anywhere.Discharge: Mombasa or Dar es Salaam, then inland to KampalaPakistanPrice-sensitive, high-volume, and served by an experienced import trade that knows exactly what a good container looks like.Discharge: Karachi (Port Qasim and KPT)IraqA strong market for large-displacement petrol, served only after compliance review. We run that review before we quote, not after you have paid.Discharge: Umm Qasr, or overland via a GCC portEgyptLarge parc, capable local workshops, and an import regime that rewards buyers who get their paperwork right the first time.Discharge: Alexandria and Port SaidUnited Arab EmiratesOur commercial base. Deals are agreed and documented from Sharjah; the engines are prepared, checked and loaded at the Guangzhou warehouse we work from.Discharge: Jebel AliZambiaA landlocked lane where the inland leg, not the sea freight, decides your landed cost — and where the conformity certificate is issued in the country of supply, which is exactly where the engines are prepared.Discharge: Dar es Salaam (Nakonde border) or Beira; Durban and Walvis Bay by arrangementSouth AfricaThe most regulated lane we quote. South Africa controls used engine imports by permit, and the permit — not the price — decides what you can buy and how much of it. Read this before you ask for a quotation.Discharge: Durban; Port Elizabeth and Cape Town by arrangementMozambiqueThree working ports and a corridor role that reaches four neighbouring countries — and one certificate that has to exist before the container sails, not after it arrives.Discharge: Beira, Nacala and MaputoDR CongoA lane where the paperwork is unusually literal: the container has to match the declaration you filed at the bank, unit for unit and dollar for dollar, or the verification is refused before it ships.Discharge: Matadi for Kinshasa and the west; Dar es Salaam then road for Lubumbashi and the east
