Source from China
We help buyers start from machine type, year band, budget, and destination instead of forwarding random listings that do not fit the job or market.
Verify before price
Serial confirmation, current yard photos, undercarriage detail, and working video come before serious price discussion so buyers can qualify the machine first.
Keep landed cost visible
Container fit, breakbulk, destination port, and landed-cost questions stay part of the buying process, not an afterthought after the shortlist is made.
Request another model
Send model, year, hours, and port. We match stock, proof, and shipping so the first reply is useful instead of vague.
Model Match
Send the model and year range.
We start from the machine band you want instead of pushing whatever was easiest to list.
Proof
We send photos, video, and key checks.
Exterior, undercarriage, hydraulics, serial area, and current operating proof come before the deal moves forward.
Shipping
We support port, loading, and export steps.
Destination, loading method, and freight fit stay visible so the shortlist still works after logistics are added.
FAQs
Can you source a used excavator from China if the exact model is not listed on the site?
Yes. Send the model, year range, working hours, destination port, and any attachment requirement. We use that brief to match current stock and proof instead of sending random machines.
What proof should I ask for before buying a used excavator from China?
Ask for the exact unit, not only clean listing photos. The most useful proof set includes serial or PIN plate photos, engine plate, cold-start video, travel and swing video, boom and bucket movement, plus undercarriage and hydraulic detail photos.
How can I tell whether the machine hours and condition are believable?
Do not trust paint and meter reading alone. Compare the hour claim against undercarriage wear, pin and bushing condition, engine-area photos, current meter images, and operating video taken on the same machine.
How is a used excavator from China quoted?
Price depends on the exact model, year, hours, attachments, proof quality, and destination. Landed cost also changes with port charges, inland delivery, taxes, duties, brokerage, and loading method.
Can you help with shipping and customs planning?
Yes. We help buyers think through destination port, container or breakbulk fit, loading method, and document flow. In many markets, customs broker fees and port handling are part of the real cost and timeline, not an afterthought.
What size excavator should I buy?
Start from the job before the brand. Mini and compact excavators fit tight-access work, medium machines fit mainstream contracting, and heavy classes fit quarry, mining, or larger earthmoving where freight planning matters earlier.
Can any used excavator be imported into the United States?
Not automatically. For U.S. imports, EPA rules apply to imported nonroad engines and equipment, including used units. Buyers should verify emissions labels, engine family information, and the required import paperwork before shipment.
Is the cheapest used excavator listing always the best buy?
Usually no. A low asking price can be erased by weak proof, worn undercarriage, missing parts support, broker fees, customs delays, inland transport, or repairs after arrival. The useful comparison is landed and supportable cost, not headline price only.
