This customer first purchased HOWO 371 dump trucks from us for his Lagos mining operation. After seeing the trucks perform well in tough conditions, he expanded into the Ethiopian market and needed Shacman F3000 units — known for the strongest chassis in the industry — for a large-scale mining project in the Oromia Region.
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1: Repeat Inquiry
The customer contacted us via WhatsApp requesting 3 Shacman F3000 6×4 dump trucks. He already trusted our process from the previous Nigeria transaction, so the sales cycle was faster — no hesitation, straight to vehicle selection.
Shacman F3000 after inspection — video inspection conducted via WhatsApp with the customer before shipping
Step 2: Selection & Video Inspection
We sent real photos and videos of 5 available Shacman F3000 units. The customer selected 3 units and did a quick WhatsApp video call to confirm engine condition, tire tread depth, and hydraulic system function. Total inspection time: 15 minutes.
Step 3: Payment
Customer paid 30% deposit via wire transfer. Balance paid 5 days before shipping. Full documentation package prepared: Proforma Invoice, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, Vehicle Registration.
Shacman F3000 dump trucks at Tianjin Port — loaded via RORO for the 25-day voyage to Djibouti, then overland to Ethiopia
Step 4: Shipping (RORO to Djibouti + Inland)
The three trucks were driven onto a RORO vessel at Tianjin Port. Sea freight took 25 days to Djibouti Port. From Djibouti, the customer arranged overland transport to the mining site in Oromia — approximately 3–5 days by truck.
Step 5: Post-Delivery
All three trucks arrived in good condition and were deployed to the mining operation. The customer has since referred two other Ethiopian mining companies to us.
