Which excavator brands hold their value best for export?

<p>In used-equipment export the brands that hold value best are Caterpillar, Komatsu and Volvo, because they are widely recognised, well supported by parts networks, and easy to resell in most destination markets. Hitachi, Kobelco, Hyundai and Doosan also retain value well, while Chinese brands such as Sany, XCMG and Liugong offer strong capability at a lower entry price.</p><p>Resale strength matters twice: it supports the machine's value when you buy, and it protects your exit price when you sell in-market. Condition, hours and undercarriage wear still move value more than the badge, which is why we state all three on every listing and verify them in the six-point inspection. Tell us your market and budget and we will advise which brands and tonnage classes hold value best for your destination.</p><ul><li>Compare: <a href='/excavators/caterpillar'>Caterpillar</a>, <a href='/excavators/komatsu'>Komatsu</a>, <a href='/excavators/volvo'>Volvo</a>, <a href='/excavators/sany'>Sany</a>.</li></ul><p>Ask which brands suit your market. <a href='/contact'>Get a brand recommendation</a>.</p>

Current stock by grade: Grade A — 178 machines; Grade B — 112 machines; Grade C — 38 machines.

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.

Grade is our own assessment of the unit as inspected. It is shown per machine, together with the hours meter, and you can verify it before payment.
