Inspection
Where to inspect used excavators in China before buying?
<p>You can inspect at our yards in Tianjin, Ningbo and Guangzhou, or rely on our six-point inspection with photos and a written summary if you cannot travel. Each unit is checked for hydraulic and engine condition, undercarriage wear, structural integrity, hour-meter consistency and documentation before it is listed, so the report reflects the actual machine rather than a description.</p><p>Independent verification matters in used-equipment export because two machines of the same model can differ widely in value once condition is considered. We encourage buyers to arrange third-party inspection where they prefer, and we cooperate fully with inspectors. The inspection summary travels with the specific unit, and we state the true year, hours, condition grade and operating weight so you can compare machines directly and price the risk properly before committing.</p><ul><li>See yard locations: <a href='/yards/tianjin-port'>Tianjin</a>, <a href='/yards/ningbo-port'>Ningbo</a>.</li><li>Browse <a href='/excavators/caterpillar'>Caterpillar</a> and <a href='/excavators/komatsu'>Komatsu</a> stock.</li></ul><p>Request an inspection report for a specific unit. <a href='/contact'>Ask about inspection</a>.</p>
Inspection covers six points on the actual unit: engine, hydraulics, undercarriage, structure, machine identity and the loading record.
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.
