How ExcaYard Sources Mini 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. For 1–2 ton mini excavators, we focus on models that are popular in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and CIS countries. Because we do not hold massive static inventory, stock changes frequently. However, we maintain a pipeline of machines that are either ready for inspection or in transit to our yard. When you inquire, we provide real-time availability, including photos and basic specs.
Condition & 150-Point Inspection
Every used mini excavator we sell undergoes a rigorous 150-point pre-shipment inspection. This covers engine performance, hydraulic system, undercarriage, electricals, and structural integrity. We also verify working hours and perform paint-thickness checks to detect any hidden repairs or repainting. You receive a detailed report with photos and video, so you know exactly what you are buying before it ships. This transparency is crucial for used equipment, especially for compact models where wear can be subtle.
Documents & Certifications
We handle all export documentation and certifications required for your destination. Depending on the country, we arrange SONCAP (Nigeria), SABER (Saudi Arabia), PVoC (Kenya/Tanzania/Ghana), GSA (Ghana), or KEBS. Standard documents include commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. We ensure your mini excavator clears customs smoothly. If you need specific certification, inform us at the time of inquiry so we can confirm feasibility and any additional costs.
Payment Terms
We accept T/T USD wire transfers, L/C through Bank of China, and Wise. For first-time buyers, we typically require a deposit to initiate the inspection and documentation process, with the balance due before shipment. L/C is available for larger orders or if you prefer bank-backed security. All payment details are provided in a proforma invoice. We recommend confirming payment terms early to avoid delays.
Shipping Methods & Lead Time
We ship FOB or CIF from default ports: Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, or Tianjin. For mini excavators, we offer RoRo, container, or flat-rack shipping. Container shipping is often cost-effective for 1–2 ton models, as they can fit into a 20ft or 40ft container. RoRo is suitable if you want to drive the machine on and off. Flat-rack is used for odd dimensions. Typical CIF lead time is 28–45 days port-to-port, depending on destination and vessel schedule. For a detailed timeline, see our guide on deposit to delivery lead time.
Price Factors for Used Mini Excavators
Prices for used 1–2 ton mini excavators vary based on brand, year, hours, condition, and market demand. Indicative price ranges (FOB China) are typically $8,000–$25,000. Factors include:
