Section I. Why Togo Needs Reliable Cranes Now
Togo’s economic landscape is undergoing a significant transformation. The Port of Lomé, already one of the deepest natural deep-water ports in West and Central Africa, has recently completed a major dredging project that deepened the access channel to 18.6 meters and widened the turning basin to 550 meters, allowing the terminal to accommodate fully loaded container ships of up to 24,000 TEU. The Lomé Container Terminal (LCT) has increased its annual handling capacity from 2 million to 2.5 million TEUs, supported by a €120 million infrastructure and equipment investment program scheduled through 2027. The port currently achieves a productivity rate of 32.5 crane movements per hour—above African industry standards—and operates a fleet of over 30 rubber-tired gantry cranes. In the second quarter of 2026, LCT is also receiving nine new forklifts from Konecranes, including two reach stackers and seven empty container handlers. This sustained investment in lifting and handling equipment signals robust and ongoing demand for reliable cranes at Togo’s premier logistics gateway.
Beyond the port, industrialization is accelerating. In April 2025, Vivace Group, a Chinese manufacturer, inaugurated a CFA8 billion construction materials factory at the PIA, covering 30,000 square meters with an annual production capacity of 10,000 tonnes. The factory has already hired approximately 100 young Togolese workers and plans to create over 600 direct jobs, reflecting the government’s broader push for industrial growth. The PIA now hosts over twenty local and international companies, with the objective of processing raw materials locally, building value chains, and boosting Togo’s export capacity. Meanwhile, the African Development Bank and the government of Togo have signed $38.9 million in financing agreements to support climate-resilient infrastructure for farmers in the country’s Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones, accelerating the development of agro-processing facilities that require lifting equipment for construction, maintenance, and material handling.
Energy sector investments are also expanding rapidly. Togo’s Ministry of Energy has launched a $10.5 million project to upgrade the national power grid across six major cities, involving the rehabilitation of 61 kilometers of medium-voltage lines and the installation of 61 new transformer stations. The Dapaong Solar Plant began construction in April 2025 and is expected to be completed within 13 months, supporting the national goal of achieving 75% electricity access by 2025 and universal access by 2030. In August 2025, Lomé began hosting a floating fuel terminal with a capacity of 160,000 metric tons of petroleum products, further expanding the country’s energy infrastructure.
These developments—port expansion, industrial zone growth, agro-processing investments, and energy grid modernization—all generate demand for high-quality lifting equipment.
