2023-08-19 11:49:01


With the recent increase in prices of new machinery, the second-hand construction machinery market has gradually gained momentum. For newcomers in this market, there are four types of used excavators that should be approached with caution.

 

1. Avoid Excavators from Unofficial Channels:

      Be wary of excavators sold through unofficial channels at significantly low prices. It's crucial to exercise caution before making a purchase, as the legitimacy of ownership might be questionable.

 

2. Exercise Caution with Uninspectable Excavators:

      In the realm of used construction machinery, some excavators listed on websites might seem like great deals based on pictures and videos. However, if the seller refuses any form of inspection and only allows remote transactions, it's best to avoid such vehicles.

 

3. Unfamiliar Brands and Models:

     While some excavators may not be from commonly recognized brands, they might appear to be in good condition in terms of exterior, engine, hydraulic systems, and electrical controls. Nevertheless, these lesser-known models often come with higher costs for spare parts and maintenance compared to mainstream options.


4. Beware of “Like New” Appearance:

     Some used excavators might have an appearance comparable to new vehicles, but upon use, multiple issues might become evident.

 

The second-hand construction machinery market is a mixed bag of options. For newcomers seeking to find a satisfactory used excavator, it's advised to steer clear of the aforementioned types. When making a purchase, consider using reputable platforms like Machmall.com, wwhich provides a reliable avenue for selecting and buying used machinery.
