Can you ship a used Sany excavator to UAE?
Yes, ExcaYard can ship a used Sany excavator to the UAE. As a China-based used excavator export specialist, we handle sourcing, inspection, certification, and logistics to ensure your machine arrives safely and compliantly. Below is a comprehensive guide covering key aspects of the process.
Machine Condition and 150-Point Inspection
Every used Sany excavator we export undergoes a rigorous 150-point pre-shipment inspection. This includes checking the engine, hydraulics, undercarriage, electrical systems, and structural components. We also verify the machine's operating hours and perform paint-thickness checks to detect any prior repairs or repainting. You receive detailed photos and video documentation before shipment, so you know exactly what you are buying.
Documentation and Certifications
For the UAE, specific certifications may be required depending on the import regulations. ExcaYard handles export certifications such as SONCAP (Nigeria), SABER (Saudi Arabia), PVoC (Kenya/Tanzania/Ghana), GSA (Ghana), and KEBS. While the UAE does not mandate these particular certificates, we ensure all standard export documents are prepared: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. We also assist with any additional documentation required by UAE customs.
Shipping Methods and Ports
We offer flexible shipping options: RoRo, container, or flat-rack, depending on your budget and timeline. Default ports of loading include Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, and Tianjin. For the UAE, typical destination ports are Jebel Ali and Port Khalid. We can arrange either FOB or CIF terms. CIF lead time is typically 28-45 days port-to-port.
| Shipping Method | Typical Cost Range (USD) | Transit Time (days) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| RoRo | $3,000 - $6,000 | 28-35 | Wheeled or tracked machines that can be driven |
| Container (40ft) | $4,000 - $8,000 | 30-40 | Small to medium excavators, better protection |
| Flat-rack | $5,000 - $10,000 | 32-45 | Large excavators, easy loading |
Note: These are indicative ranges only; actual costs vary by port, season, and machine size.
Payment Terms
We accept T/T USD wire transfers, L/C through Bank of China, and Wise. A typical arrangement is a 30% deposit upon order confirmation, with the balance due before shipment. We provide clear invoices and receipts for every transaction.
Lead Time and Process
From order to delivery, the process typically takes 28-45 days. This includes sourcing, inspection, documentation, and shipping. We keep you updated at every stage. Once the machine is loaded, we provide the bill of lading and tracking details.
