Africa Global Logistics Cameroun (AGL) has unveiled a new set of equipment worth more than CFA2 billion, as part of efforts to modernize operations and improve service quality.
The equipment, presented on March 26 in Douala, includes about 20 forklifts, around 10 tanker trucks and semi-trailers, and a new-generation 100-ton crane.
The investment is designed to strengthen the group’s capabilities across port, logistics, industrial, and distribution activities. AGL aims to improve productivity, reduce operational delays, and raise service standards across several business segments.
The tanker trucks and semi-trailers will handle urban and regional transport of goods, including malt and wheat for Boissons du Cameroun and Mocaf in the Central African Republic. The goal is to ensure more reliable deliveries, improve customer service rates, and reduce breakdowns and delays.
Meanwhile, clamp and fork forklifts will be used to speed up handling of cotton bales and other goods in storage facilities. These machines are expected to ease congestion in warehouses and improve the flow of loading, packaging, and storage operations.
The new 100-ton crane is intended for heavy industrial and oil and gas operations. It features a 60-meter main boom, extendable by an additional 25 meters, reaching a maximum height of 85 meters—roughly equivalent to a building of more than 25 stories.
The crane can lift up to 30 tons at a distance of 10 meters, significantly increasing heavy-lift capacity at the port of Douala. According to AGL, it will allow certain operations to be handled locally, reducing reliance on external equipment and strengthening the company’s position in industrial and oil projects.
AGL Cameroun’s chief executive, Thibaut Lamé, said the investment is part of a broader strategy. The company plans to invest CFA20 billion in 2026 to boost competitiveness, increase productivity, and improve the overall customer experience.
