One booking, protected from payment to payout.

Find supply your way, pay TractoAfrica, track the job, then confirm. Owners and drivers are paid only when the work is done.

Two ways to find a machine

Browse the catalogue

  • Search by type, location, dates, price and capacity, sorted by distance.
  • See photos, specs, availability, what is included and the price unit.
  • Book instantly at the listed price, or ask for a formal quote.
Browse equipment

Post a need

  • Say what, how many, where, when and for how long. Suggest a price if you like.
  • The nearest owners get it first; the search widens until offers arrive.
  • Compare price, distance, rating and checks, then pick one.

After you choose

Both paths end in the same booking. Each stage is visible to you, the owner and our team.

  1. Pay

    Pay TractoAfrica in full for short hires, or a deposit for long ones. Add insurance here if you want it. Your payment is protected.

  2. Confirmed

    The machine and dates are reserved. The owner assigns a verified driver; you see their first name, photo, rating and level.

  3. Mobilising

    Track the truck live on its way to your site.

  4. On site

    The driver checks in with photos, location, condition and meter readings.

  5. Running

    Long hires get daily statements; haulage counts trips. Chat and private calls are available.

  6. Completed

    The driver checks out with end photos and the hours or trips worked.

  7. You confirm

    Confirm the job, or it confirms automatically 2 days after completion if no dispute is raised.

  8. Paid out

    The money is split and paid to the owner and driver, and you get a QR-coded invoice.

  9. Rated

    Both sides rate each other. Rebook the same team in one tap.

Questions

Can two people book the same truck for the same days?

No. Accepting an offer places a short hold and payment confirms it. A machine or driver can never have two confirmed bookings at the same time.

What if I cancel?

Cancellation fees depend on how close to the start you cancel and on the listing’s policy, which you see before you pay.

What if something goes wrong on site?

Raise a dispute before you confirm. Payment pauses, and our team reviews the check-in photos, GPS data, chat and call logs before deciding on a refund or an adjusted payout.

Can I book by phone?

Yes. Our team can create a booking or request for you; the booking records that staff created it.
