Hello, everyone. Today, I will share with you how to avoid pitfalls when purchasing second-hand excavators, as well as some tips for purchasing second-hand equipment. First of all, before purchasing second-hand equipment, you should first understand the price and market conditions of second-hand excavators. I think this is very important for people who want to buy second-hand excavators.
At present, the price of second-hand excavators is affected by many factors, such as brand, model, service life, vehicle condition, etc. Generally speaking, the price of second-hand excavators with well-known brands, newer models, shorter service life and good vehicle condition is relatively high, while the price of some old models or equipment with poor vehicle condition is relatively low. For example, a Caterpillar 320D second-hand excavator with a service life of about 3 years and good vehicle condition may cost between 300,000 and 500,000 yuan; while a domestic second-hand excavator with a longer service life and general vehicle condition may cost between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan. In terms of market conditions, the market demand for second-hand excavators has gradually increased in recent years. With the continuous advancement of infrastructure construction and the cost control of some engineering projects, second-hand excavators have become the choice of many users. At the same time, the domestic second-hand excavator market is also gradually becoming standardized, with more and more regular dealers and platforms emerging, providing consumers with more choices and guarantees. As the largest second-hand machinery and equipment dealer in China, we naturally have a fair and just pricing system and service process. We are also one of the few second-hand dealers in China that has its own warehouse, which lays a solid foundation for customers to choose and trust us.
Here are some practical tips that the editor has summarized for everyone:
1. Clarify your needs: Before purchasing, determine your engineering needs, such as excavation depth, working scene, workload, etc. This will help you choose a second-hand excavator of the right model and specification.
2. Check the appearance: Carefully check the appearance of the excavator, including the body, cab, bucket and other parts, to see if there is obvious damage, deformation or rust. At the same time, pay attention to check whether the paint is even and whether there are signs of repainting to determine whether there have been major repairs.
3. Check the engine: Start the engine and listen to whether its running sound is normal and whether there are any abnormal sounds. Observe the color of the smoke emitted by the exhaust pipe, which should be colorless or slightly gray under normal circumstances. Check whether the engine's oil level, water temperature and other indicators are normal.
4. Check the hydraulic system: Check whether there is oil leakage in the hydraulic pump, hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic valve and other components, and feel whether the hydraulic system responds sensitively when operating the handle.
5. Check the chassis and walking parts: Check the wear of the crawler, supporting wheels, sprocket wheels and other components, and whether there are abnormal sounds or shaking when walking.
6. Test operation: Operate the excavator in person and perform various actions, such as digging, lifting, rotating, etc., to feel whether its operating performance is good and whether the action is smooth.
7. Check the maintenance record: Ask the seller for the maintenance record to understand the historical maintenance of the excavator, whether there are major failures or important parts have been replaced.
8. Choose a reliable seller: Choose a reputable and experienced second-hand excavator seller or dealer, who can provide better quality assurance and after-sales service.
