Is a used Hitachi excavator in stock right now?
Because used excavator inventory changes daily, we cannot guarantee a specific Hitachi model is in stock at this exact moment. However, ExcaYard sources, inspects, and ships pre-owned Hitachi excavators regularly, and we can often locate a suitable machine within days. The best way to confirm current availability is to contact our export desk directly via WhatsApp at +86 193 9277 7259 with your required model, year range, and budget.
How ExcaYard Sources Used Hitachi Excavators
ExcaYard is a China used excavator export specialist based in Hefei, Anhui. We source pre-owned machines from reputable dealers, auctions, and trade-ins across China. Our network includes not only Hitachi but also Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo, Doosan, Hyundai, Kobelco, Sany, XCMG, SDLG, LiuGong, and Sunward. Because we are not a fixed-inventory dealer, we match your requirements with the best available unit at the time of your inquiry. This means you get a machine that fits your project rather than settling for whatever happens to be on a lot.
Condition and the 150-Point Inspection
Every Hitachi excavator we export undergoes a rigorous 150-point pre-shipment inspection. This covers engine, hydraulics, undercarriage, electrical systems, structural integrity, and safety features. We verify actual working hours and use paint-thickness checks to detect any hidden repairs or bodywork. You receive a detailed report with photos and video, so you know exactly what you are buying before it leaves China. This transparency is critical when purchasing used equipment sight-unseen.
Documents and Certifications for Hitachi Exports
Depending on your destination country, we handle the necessary export certifications. For Nigeria, we arrange SONCAP. For Saudi Arabia, SABER. For Kenya, Tanzania, and Ghana, we provide PVoC. For Ghana, we also offer GSA, and for Kenya, KEBS. Standard shipping documents include a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. We ensure all paperwork complies with local import regulations, reducing the risk of customs delays.
Payment Terms and Shipping Methods
We accept T/T USD wire transfers, L/C through Bank of China, and Wise. For shipping, you can choose FOB or CIF terms. We offer RoRo, container, and flat-rack options, with default ports in Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, and Tianjin. Typical CIF lead time is 28-45 days port-to-port, depending on destination and vessel schedule. We serve Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and CIS countries.
