Available in diesel. These machines provide customers with flexible power options to suit diverse operational needs. <\/p>\n<p>With a diverse fleet comprising over 100 types of machines, Tractafric Equipment supplies industrial equipment renowned for cargo handling and material movement, with capacities ranging from 1.5 to 60 tons. <\/p>\n<p>Specialized machines are capable of lifting loads up to 30 meters, with brands like Manitou and Kalmar offering models powered by diesel, fuel, or electricity, catering to environmentally conscious businesses. <\/p>\n<p>Given the region\u2019s reliance on agriculture, Tractafric Equipment provides tailored solutions to enhance agricultural productivity. <\/p>\n<p>Partnering with Massey Ferguson, the company supplies a range of tractors equipped with various horsepower options and specialized attachments for plowing, harrowing, fertilizing, and harvesting with exceptional precision. <\/p>\n<p>Beyond equipment sales, Tractafric Equipment is a one-stop center for spare parts, offering components for trucks, tractors, machines, and more.

They also stock 400-liter cement mixers, ideal for large-scale construction projects. <\/p>\n<p>Abdourahman Youssouf Ismail, Parts &#038; Service Manager, emphasized the importance of maintenance in protecting the value of machinery investments. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe guide our clients on how to care for their machines because some parts require replacement every 250, 500, or 1,000 hours of use. Without proper knowledge, clients might overlook essential maintenance,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Pierre Warin, Regional Director for the Great Lakes region, underscored Tractafric Equipment\u2019s commitment to after-sales support, highlighting that their employees receive specialized training directly from manufacturers such as Caterpillar, Perkins, and Massey Ferguson. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t just sell machines; we provide long-term value by ensuring these machines continue to perform efficiently over time,\u201d Warin noted. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to sales and maintenance, Tractafric Equipment offers rental services, allowing clients to access essential equipment for extended periods. <\/p>\n<p>The company has also introduced a flexible rent-to-own program, enabling customers to acquire equipment through installment payments in partnership with financial institutions. This approach reduces financial strain while empowering clients to grow their businesses effectively. <\/p>\n<p>Sales Manager Kevin Ndahinyuka noted that the company goes beyond sales to provide advisory services, helping clients select the right equipment for their specific operational needs. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe assist clients in choosing the appropriate machinery based on their needs, and even after the purchase, we continue to support them throughout the machine\u2019s lifecycle,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Recently, Tractafric Equipment expanded its offerings with the introduction of the FAW J6P truck tractors and tippers, manufactured by the leading Chinese brand FAW. <\/p>\n<p>Designed for mining, construction, and agriculture, these robust trucks offer payload capacities ranging from 7,000 to 18,000 kg, with a 6&#215;4 transmission system ensuring reliable performance in demanding conditions. <\/p>\n<p>As the region continues to develop rapidly, Tractafric Equipment remains steadfast in its mission to provide top-tier heavy machinery solutions while maintaining a customer-centric approach. \u201cOur mission remains the same: to be the go-to provider of heavy machinery solutions, delivering the best value to our clients,\u201d the company stated. <\/p>\n<p>For business inquiries, Tractafric Equipment\u2019s offices are located in Kigali, Rwanda at KK 6 Ave, Magerwa Road.
