What is the shipping cost for a used excavator from China?

<p>Shipping cost depends on the machine's size and weight, the loading method (container, flat-rack or RoRo/breakbulk), the destination port and the sailing schedule - larger machines cost more to move, and we quote freight separately from the machine so both are transparent.</p><h2>Loading methods</h2><ul><li><b>Flat-rack / breakbulk:</b> for large excavators that exceed container dimensions.</li><li><b>Container:</b> works for smaller units, often several per box.</li><li><b>RoRo:</b> sometimes cheapest for a single road-worthy machine.</li></ul><h2>What moves the number</h2><p>Machine size, destination, port pair and season. Consolidating units where possible lowers freight per machine. We ship from Tianjin, Ningbo and Guangzhou and other ports.</p><h2>Get a freight estimate</h2><p>Tell us the machine and destination port and we quote FOB plus freight.

We load used excavators from Nansha / Shekou, Ningbo-Zhoushan, Tianjin Port in China.

Every listing here is one physical machine with its own stock number, hours meter and specific FOB price — not a catalogue entry and not a "from" range. Units are sold one at a time, so the yard list changes daily; confirm availability for this exact unit before you commit.

Before payment you can verify the actual unit: we send a start-up video walkaround, photos of the machine and its data plate, and the readings we found. A third-party inspection at the yard can also be arranged on request.

The machine is loaded from our partner ports in China and travels with a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin. The FOB price covers the machine at the port of loading; freight, insurance and import duty are quoted per destination once you tell us the port you import through.

We are an independent used-excavator export trading company based in Hefei, China, shipping since 2014. We are not an authorised dealer for any manufacturer; brand names are used only to describe the machines we trade.

Send us the stock number or the model you are looking at, together with your destination port, and we reply with the unit, its own FOB price and the loading options for that shipment.

Which port your unit leaves from depends on where it was sourced and where it is going.
