What to pay attention to when buying a second-hand excavator？

When you are considering purchasing a used excavator, here are some key points to note:

1.Engine
As the “heart” of the excavator, the condition of the engine is very important. During the purchase process, you should carefully check the engine’s power output and listen for any noise or abnormal noise when idling or working. Also, check the engine for any obvious signs of wear, which may indicate that the equipment has been used for a considerable period of time.
2.Hydraulic system
The hydraulic pump is the core of the hydraulic system and is responsible for converting mechanical energy into liquid pressure energy. It is also important to check the oil pump of the hydraulic system and its ability to provide power. In addition, the degree of wear of various components in the hydraulic system, such as driving wheels, guide wheels, supporting wheels and supporting wheels (four wheels and areas), as well as the condition of the chain and chain rails, should also be checked.
3. Appearance and structure
Before purchasing, the appearance, structure and internal components of the excavator should be inspected to confirm whether there are any problems such as collision, deformation, oil leakage or damage. Check your excavator’s dimensions, such as digging depth and operating rate, to make sure it will meet your specific job needs.
4. Maintenance and repair
Understanding an excavator’s maintenance and repair records is critical to assessing its current condition and service life. Good maintenance and timely replacement of parts can extend the service life of the equipment.
Authenticity check: The excavator information seen on the Internet may not be completely accurate. Verify the authenticity of the excavator’s existence and compare quotes from different sources to avoid being deceived due to information asymmetry.
5. Deposit and delivery
If you are unable to inspect the excavator in person, you may need to judge its performance through videos or pictures. In this case, it is important to handle the deposit issue carefully to avoid fraud or dishonesty.
