Why a 20-Ton Excavator Can Cost MORE Than a 30-Ton

This sounds wrong  but it happens a lot in Kiambu/Nairobi 👇

1️⃣ Higher Demand for 20T Machines

  • 20T excavators are:
    • Easier to transport
    • Suitable for most jobs
    • Used in tight residential sites

👉 High demand = higher price

2️⃣ Availability Factor

  • There are fewer available 20T machines at any given time
  • When demand spikes → price goes up

3️⃣ Efficiency vs Job Size

  • 30T machines are used for large-scale projects
  • Contractors hire them in bulk or long-term

👉 This sometimes makes 30T cheaper per hour
