Do you have any used excavators in stock ready to ship immediately?
ExcaYard keeps a rotating inventory of used excavators from leading brands, and many units are ready to ship immediately after payment and export clearance. However, availability changes daily, so we recommend contacting us directly via WhatsApp +86 193 9277 7259 to confirm current stock. This guide explains what 'ready to ship' means, how we inspect machines, and what to expect for shipping, payment, and documentation.
What 'Ready to Ship' Means at ExcaYard
When we say a used excavator is ready to ship, it means the machine has passed our 150-point pre-shipment inspection, is physically located at our yard or a partner yard in China, and has no outstanding mechanical or legal issues. It can be loaded onto a vessel within days of payment and export clearance. However, because we sell globally, stock moves quickly. The best way to check current availability is to send us a message on WhatsApp at +86 193 9277 7259 with your required model, tonnage, and destination port.
Machine Condition and the 150-Point Inspection
Every used excavator we sell undergoes a rigorous 150-point inspection before shipment. This covers engine, hydraulics, undercarriage, electrical systems, cabin, and structural components. We also verify working hours and use paint-thickness checks to detect previous repairs or repainting. You receive a detailed report with photos and video, so you know exactly what you are buying. We source machines from reputable fleets and auctions, and we reject units with major issues. Brands we commonly stock include Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Volvo, Doosan, Hyundai, Kobelco, Sany, XCMG, SDLG, LiuGong, and Sunward.
Documents and Certifications
We handle export documentation and certifications required by your country. Depending on the destination, we can arrange SONCAP for Nigeria, SABER for Saudi Arabia, PVoC for Kenya, Tanzania, and Ghana, GSA for Ghana, and KEBS for Kenya. Standard export documents include commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. If your country requires additional certificates, we will advise you during the quotation stage. Note that certification processing may add a few days to the lead time, but we manage it in parallel with shipping arrangements.
Payment Terms
We accept T/T USD wire transfers, L/C through Bank of China, and Wise. For immediate shipments, T/T is usually the fastest because funds clear quickly. If you prefer an L/C, we can work with your bank, but note that L/C processing may add time. We require a deposit to reserve a machine, with the balance due before shipment. All payment details are provided in your proforma invoice.
Shipping Methods and Lead Time
We ship FOB or CIF from major Chinese ports: Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, and Tianjin. You can choose RoRo (roll-on/roll-off), container, or flat-rack depending on machine size and your budget. RoRo is often cost-effective for larger excavators, while container shipping suits smaller units. Flat-rack is used for machines that fit within dimensions but need special stowage. Typical CIF lead time is 28-45 days port-to-port, but this can vary with vessel schedules and destination. For immediate shipments, we prioritize booking on the next available vessel.
| Factor | Details | Impact on Readiness |
|---|---|---|
| Machine condition | 150-point inspection passed | Ready to load |
| Certifications | SONCAP, SABER, PVoC, GSA, KEBS | May add 3-7 days |
| Payment method | T/T, L/C, Wise | T/T fastest |
| Shipping method | RoRo, container, flat-rack | RoRo often quickest |
| Lead time | 28-45 days CIF | Port-to-port |
