Do you have a used 20-ton excavator ready to ship immediately?
Availability of a used 20-ton excavator ready to ship immediately depends on current stock and your destination's import requirements. ExcaYard sources, inspects, and ships pre-owned machines from brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Volvo, Doosan, Hyundai, Kobelco, Sany, XCMG, SDLG, LiuGong, and Sunward. While we may have units available, immediate shipping is subject to inspection, documentation, and payment confirmation.
Understanding 'Ready to Ship' for Used Excavators
When a buyer asks for a used 20-ton excavator ready to ship immediately, they often expect a machine that is already inspected, documented, and packed for export. At ExcaYard, we maintain a network of suppliers and a rigorous 150-point pre-shipment inspection process. This means that even if a machine is in stock, we still perform due diligence to ensure it meets our quality standards. The inspection includes hours verification, paint-thickness checks, and a full photo and video report. This process typically takes a few days, so 'immediate' shipping usually means within a week after payment and documentation are complete.
Machine Condition and the 150-Point Inspection
Every used excavator we export undergoes a comprehensive 150-point inspection. This covers engine performance, hydraulic system, undercarriage, electrical components, structural integrity, and safety features. We verify the hour meter reading and use paint-thickness gauges to detect any prior repairs or repainting. The inspection results are documented with photos and videos, which we share with you before shipment. This transparency helps you make an informed decision and reduces the risk of unexpected issues upon arrival.
Documents and Certifications for Import
Depending on your country, specific certifications may be required for customs clearance. ExcaYard handles export certifications such as SONCAP for Nigeria, SABER for Saudi Arabia, PVoC for Kenya, Tanzania, and Ghana, GSA for Ghana, and KEBS for Kenya. We also provide standard export documents: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. If your destination requires additional certificates, we can assist in obtaining them. It's important to confirm the exact requirements with your customs broker early to avoid delays.
Payment Terms: T/T or L/C
We accept payment via T/T USD wire, L/C through Bank of China, and Wise. For immediate shipping, we recommend T/T as it clears faster. However, if you prefer the security of an L/C, we can work with that, though it may add a few days to the process. A deposit is typically required to initiate the inspection and documentation, with the balance due before shipment. For more details, see our guide on T/T or L/C for excavator export orders.
Shipping Methods and Lead Times
We offer FOB or CIF terms. Shipping methods include RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off), container, and flat-rack, depending on the machine's dimensions and your preference. Default ports are Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, and Tianjin. The typical CIF lead time is 28-45 days port-to-port, but this can vary based on destination and shipping schedule. For a more detailed timeline, refer to our deposit to delivery lead time guide.
