Product Advantages

Globally, the refurbished construction machinery market is steadily growing. In regions such as Southeast Asia and Africa, demand for refurbished excavators is particularly high; in developed countries like the US and Europe, major brands such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, and Volvo have official remanufacturing or refurbishment programs. This indicates that refurbished excavators have evolved from simple used-machine repairs into a professional and standardized industry chain.

Refurbished excavators not only offer significant cost advantages but also deliver performance and appearance close to brand-new machines, making them especially suitable for rental businesses.

Low labor and spare part costs in China make this all feasible. If refurbishment costs are high in your country and you do not wish to repair machines yourself, we are your best choice. Purchasing our refurbished excavators is like buying new ones, even with comparable warranty, but typically at only one-third of the price.

Range of Selection

Our refurbished excavators cover many brands, mainly including Caterpillar, Komatsu, Kobelco, Volvo, SANY, XCMG, Liugong, Lovol, and Sunward. From small to large, from basic to high-end models, customers can freely choose according to their needs and get direct brand comparison and price information.

Refurbishment Detail

Our company has a complete refurbishment workshop and process, with all work conducted internally. If you require third-party inspection, we welcome it.

Example:

EPA

EPA Used-Excavator Import Notice

1. During the import process, CBP reviews equipment documents according to EPA regulations. Common reasons for rejection include incomplete documentation, serial number issues, inability to verify the engine is used, or unclear manufacturing dates.

2. The selling company can usually only provide historical records of the used equipment, which may vary in completeness. These documents are provided as reference for customs to confirm whether the engine is used, the manufacturing date is accurate, and whether it qualifies for an EPA used-engine exemption.

3. Whether an engine qualifies for an exemption depends mainly on its manufacturing date and emission tier (Tier 2, Tier 3, or Tier 4). You can quickly estimate the approximate tier by the engine’s build year:

   • 1996–2000 → Tier 1

   • 2001–2006 → Tier 2

   • 2006–2011 → Tier 3

   • 2011–2014 → Tier 4 Interim (Tier 4i)

   • 2014 and later → Tier 4 Final

4. The emission standard is determined by the engine’s manufacturing date, not the machine’s production year. For example, a machine built in 2010 fitted with a Tier 2 engine made in 2007 is legally Tier 2, not Tier 3.

5. Once complete historical documentation is provided by the selling company, the customs clearance process should be handled by a customs broker assisting the consignee. Each party should operate within its professional scope.

If our company, as the seller, could handle EPA clearance by ourselves, I can guarantee that we would have the ability to dominate the import business of all used excavators in the United States, because every Chinese used equipment company is eager to find a company that can 100% eliminate EPA risks. If you can guarantee 100% EPA approval, please contact us. Thank you!

The following are some of the documents we can provide:

• Original invoice

  

• Certificate of Conformity

  

• Engine emission statement

FAQ

Q: Should I buy a used excavator or a refurbished one?
A: If you have the ability to repair and maintain excavators on your own, there’s no doubt that a used excavator is the better choice. You can handle the repairs and adjustments yourself. However, if labor and parts costs in your area are high, a refurbished excavator is the better option. In China, labor and parts costs are much lower. A refurbished machine will give you an experience almost equivalent to a new one.

Q: Why do refurbished excavators typically show around 500 hours of usage?
A: This is a common practice and the current reality in China's used heavy equipment industry, and we are powerless to change it. To distinguish them from new excavators, those with operating hours between 1000 and 4000 hours are set to 500 hours after refurbishment. Excavators with over 5000 hours are not worth refurbishing due to performance decline. Refurbished machines come with warranties, starting from the 500-hour mark, similar to a new machine.

Q: The salesperson told me this is a "stock machine." Is that true?
A: This is a sales pitch commonly used in China, but it’s highly unlikely that there are "stock machines" in the true sense. Even an old machine could never be sold at the price of a refurbished one.

Q: I need to use the excavator in a harsh environment. Can you recommend a suitable one for me?
A: The key issue isn't with the excavator itself—designers and sellers alike hope it will operate reliably. However, any excavator will encounter problems quickly in harsh environments. Therefore, the real key is having skilled technicians and experienced operators. Typically, construction companies employ repair technicians who regularly check the excavator for faults.

Q: Should I pay a deposit online?
A: If it’s for a long-term cooperation, this can be feasible. However, if it’s your first purchase, paying a deposit online is a high-risk move. Many Chinese companies use deposits as a major income source. Once the deposit is received, they gain the upper hand.

Q: Can I use the excavator directly after it arrives?
A: It depends on the size of the excavator. If your excavator doesn’t fit directly into the container, unfortunately, we’ll have to disassemble it and pack it into the container. You will need to reassemble it on your end.

Q: How is your spoken English?
A: We typically use a translator for communication, as very few people in this industry are fluent in English. If you have a WeChat account, its built-in translator is quite convenient for use.

Q: Is it really only 3 hours from Shanghai to Hefei by high-speed train?
A: It indeed takes around 3 hours from Shanghai Railway Station to Hefei Railway Station, but that's under ideal conditions. In reality, if you factor in transfer times, the total journey can take 6-7 hours. So, if you’re carrying a lot of luggage, it’s advisable to take a car directly.

Q: Which parts are replaced during a refurbishment? Are these original parts?
A: Rubber pipes and consumable parts. The main parts are usually cleaned rather than replaced. The parts that will not be replaced include the excavator body, engine, hydraulic pump, hydraulic distributor, and main control circuit system.

Q: All refurbishing work done in brand service centre or repair by yourself?
A: The repair center only services machines that are under warranty. The warranty period in China is 1000 hours.

Q: In refurbishing you change all parts was new and original from brand?
A: They are brand new. Usually, only the easily worn-out parts are replaced. They all come from reputable manufacturers, and their quality is comparable to the original parts.

Q: Are you an authorized dealer?
A: No, I'm not. The official warranty for the used equipment has already expired. Therefore, we do not need to obtain authorization. Furthermore, the brands of used equipment are very diverse. If we were to obtain authorization for every brand, we would likely become the world's largest used equipment dealer, employing hundreds of people, which would significantly increase costs, and the used excavators would also be sold at a much higher price.

I don't take kickbacks from sales companies. When you buy my time, you're my only employer. In China, third-party companies might betray their employers for receiving kickbacks, or maliciously smear sales companies if they don't get their kickbacks. There are too many unspoken rules. This is why I dedicate my energy to foreign trade. I want everything to be simple and transparent, not manipulated by these unspoken rules.
