Posted: 31 January 2023

Mini Excavators from leading manufacturers are making light work of various projects across the continent. When it comes to construction machinery, few traits are as prized on Africa's shores as versatility. With projects spanning from inner-city buildings to remote infrastructure development under challenging conditions, the ability to adapt to the surroundings while sustaining peak productivity is of utmost importance. Mini excavators stand out as one of the most versatile pieces of equipment on the market, capable of efficiently performing a multitude of tasks while operating in confined spaces or on delicate surfaces. It is no surprise that mini excavators have become ubiquitous on construction sites from East to West.

Bobcat, a company with over 60 years of experience in providing reliable compact equipment, is committed to meeting all of Africa's mini excavator needs. To understand more about the company's mini excavator offerings in the region and the driving factors behind sales, African Review interviewed Nicolas Dumont, the district sales manager of Bobcat Africa. Dumont shared his perspective before listening to local representatives associated with the company. According to Dumont, the 4-5 ton models, E50z and E55z, are the top-selling units in terms of volume, making up approximately 60% of their sales. The E37 follows closely behind.
