Used Excavator Inspection in China
Buying a used excavator from China carries real risk - hidden damage, rebuilt components, worn undercarriage or tampered hour meters. Our independent engineers inspect the machine at the seller's yard or port, verify its actual condition against your requirements, and give you an honest, photo-supported report before you pay.
- Engine, turbo, cooling and exhaust system condition
- Hydraulic pumps, cylinders, hoses and oil leaks
- Undercarriage: track, rollers, idlers, sprockets and frame
- Boom, arm, bucket, pins and structural cracks / welds
- Hour meter reading, service history and documentation
- Paint thickness and signs of rebuild or major repair
Key Checkpoints We Verify
A used excavator inspection covers the whole machine - here is what our checklist looks like.
- Boom, arm and frame checked for structural damage, cracks or poor welds
- Pins and bushings checked for wear, play and excessive grease
- Bucket cutting edge, teeth, side plates and pins checked for cracks or wear
- Hydraulic hoses, lines and tank checked for leaks, loose fittings and damage
- Cylinders checked for scored rods, seal leaks and damaged hoses
- King post and swing bearing checked for cracks, loose bolts and leaks
- Track frame, tension, pads, rollers, idlers and sprockets checked for wear
- Upper structure checked for rust and signs of heavy wear
