Do you send inspection videos?
Yes, ExcaYard sends inspection videos for every used excavator before shipment. As part of our 150-point pre-shipment inspection, we record walkaround videos, function tests, and close-ups of key components, then share them with you via WhatsApp or email. This ensures you see the machine's actual condition before it leaves our yard in Hefei, China.
What the Inspection Videos Cover
Our inspection videos are not generic stock footage; they are recorded specifically for your machine. The 150-point inspection includes both visual checks and operational tests. The video typically shows:
- Walkaround overview: A full exterior view from all sides, highlighting any dents, scratches, or previous repairs.
- Undercarriage and tracks: Close-ups of track shoes, rollers, idlers, and sprockets to assess wear.
- Engine and hydraulics: Startup, idle, and operation of the engine; inspection of hydraulic pumps, cylinders, and hoses for leaks or damage.
- Cab and controls: Interior condition, joystick response, monitor panel, and safety features.
- Function tests: Boom, arm, bucket, swing, and travel operations through their full range.
- Hour meter and paint thickness: Verification of working hours and paint thickness readings to detect repainting or hidden repairs.
We also provide a set of high-resolution photos for your records. If you need additional angles or specific tests, we can accommodate reasonable requests.
How We Deliver Inspection Videos
After the inspection is complete, we upload the videos to a cloud drive and send you a link via WhatsApp or email. You can also request a live video call to see the machine in real time. Our team is available to answer questions as you review the footage. For buyers who want to source a specific model and year, we can tailor the inspection to focus on the features you care about most.
Why Inspection Videos Matter
Buying a used excavator from overseas can be risky if you cannot verify the machine's condition. Our videos give you transparency and confidence. They help you:
- Confirm the machine matches the description and photos.
- Assess wear and tear before committing to shipping.
- Make an informed decision about repairs or maintenance needs.
- Avoid surprises upon arrival.
We encourage you to review the videos carefully and ask questions. If any issue is found during inspection, we will disclose it and can adjust the price or suggest alternatives.
Documents and Certifications
Along with inspection videos, we handle all necessary export documentation. Depending on your destination, we provide:
- SONCAP for Nigeria
- SABER for Saudi Arabia
- PVoC for Kenya, Tanzania, and Ghana
- GSA for Ghana
- KEBS for Kenya
Standard shipping documents include commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. We ensure all paperwork is in order before dispatch.
