Buyer Cost Tool
Landed cost guide
FOB is only the start of the real landed-cost conversation. Machine class, destination port, loading method, and export handling all change the final number.
Input
Unit condition and hours
Every unit is priced individually. Same-year machines can differ by hundreds of working hours, wear condition, and repair history.
Input
Machine class
Mini, midsize, and heavy excavators move through different freight realities.
Input
Destination port
The port and country decide more than distance. They shape route and document expectations.
Input
Loading method
Container, flat rack, and breakbulk create very different shipping conversations.
Cost Workflow
Before you compare totals
Decision point
Before route planning
Confirm machine class, dimensions, attachments, and whether the unit can load by container, flat rack, or breakbulk route.
Decision point
Before final quote review
Check destination port, import conditions, handling charges, and whether the buyer is comparing FOB or CIF.
Decision point
Before payment approval
Tie the freight path back to machine condition, loading proof, and document readiness so the landed total is realistic.
What Changes Cost
What changes cost
Container fit
Compact machines may fit a simpler route, while larger units quickly move into more expensive loading logic.
Port and country rules
Import rules, destination charges, and route complexity can change the landed-cost story more than buyers expect.
Attachments and teardown
Buckets, booms, cabs, and teardown needs can reshape both loading method and total freight cost.
Next Step
Send class and port
The most useful landed-cost request includes machine class, preferred model or size range, destination port, and whether the buyer is comparing FOB or CIF.
