Which ports do you ship used excavators from?
Shanghai (default), Ningbo, Qingdao, and Tianjin — we pick the port nearest your machine's yard to keep inland transport down.

The four ports
- Shanghai — default, with the deepest schedule of sailings to Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
- Ningbo — strong for East China machines and many of the same routes.
- Qingdao — serves North China yards and northern trade lanes.
- Tianjin — northern gateway, useful for machines sourced in the north.
Why it matters
The port is chosen by proximity to your machine's yard — a machine in Shandong ships from Qingdao, not Shanghai. That cuts inland trucking cost and time before the ocean leg. We tell you which port your machine will ship from in the quote.

You can request a port, but we recommend the one nearest your machine to keep inland transport down. We confirm it in the quote.
Does the port change the price?
It can change inland transport and freight slightly. We quote the total FOB/CIF so you see the net effect.
