EXON Radar · Market analytics
28,942 public posts from Egypt's largest heavy-equipment trading group over 12 weeks, read machine by machine: what is for sale, who wants what, what sellers ask, and where the market lives. Aggregates only — no posts, names or numbers are republished.
Updated Aug 29, 2026 · Source: 5 public Facebook groups · primary sample “بيع وشراء المعدات الثقيلة” (298,357 members)
Equipment-for-sale posts per week in the primary group, complete weeks only. The summer ran hot: weekly listings grew +48% between the first and the last full week.
Egypt's Facebook market is a wheel-loader market: 30% of every machine listed is a loader, with excavators a distant second at 13%.
CAT owns the loader and bulldozer markets outright; Doosan — not CAT — leads excavators; TCM leads forklifts; European trucks (Mercedes, Volvo, MAN) dominate haulage.
The median machine on offer was built in 2008. Loaders are the oldest metal on the market (median 1998) — 1990s CAT 9-series loaders are its backbone — while the newest are Chinese brands sold as fresh imports.
Median stated hours: 6,000 h (1,154 items)
Only 10% of for-sale items state a price at all — the Egyptian convention is “سعر تجاري”: price on the phone. Where a price is stated, this is the spread after removing reposts and non-Egyptian or foreign-currency listings.
New Chinese imports are quoted in dollars: 124 machines, median $60,000, mostly XCMG, Lonking, LiuGong, JCB.
Prices are what sellers ask, not what machines sell for, and are extracted automatically from free text — a guide, not a valuation.
4.4% of posts are explicit requests — 1,154 “wanted to buy” and 182 “wanted to rent”. Loaders dominate demand as much as supply, but the machines hardest to find relative to how often they are asked for are dump trucks, bulldozers and graders.
Behind 4,361 distinct phone numbers is a dealer-driven market: the busiest 1% of sellers post 24% of everything that carries a number, the busiest 10% post 64%.
31% of for-sale posts are the same ad bumped again. Behind 12,693 sale posts are 8,793 distinct ads; 230 were posted five times or more, and the record is 39 times.
17% of Egyptian posts name a place. Greater Cairo leads, as expected — but Dakahlia (Mansoura) is the Delta's surprise machine hub, ahead of Alexandria.
3.4% of posts are Sudanese traders using Egyptian groups, and Saudi and Chinese exporters appear too. Prices and locations above are filtered to Egypt.
Posting peaks between 2 pm and 7 pm Cairo time and stays busy past midnight. Friday is the quietest day — but only just.
Every night EXON reads the new public posts and comments in 5 of Egypt's largest heavy-equipment Facebook groups, classifies each post (for sale, wanted, service, spam…) and extracts the machines it describes — type, brand, model, year, hours, condition and asking price — with a language model tuned to Egyptian equipment slang.
This page shows aggregates only. No post text, seller names, phone numbers or links to individual posts are published. Prices are de-duplicated (one ad counts once, however often it is bumped), restricted to Egypt and Egyptian pounds, and shown only where the sample is large enough.

Buyers in the comments
2,281 comments read so far. They split evenly between buyers asking and sellers answering — “بكام” (how much?) is the single most common thing anyone says — and loaders draw far more questions than any other machine.
