What condition are your used Komatsu excavators in?
Used Komatsu excavators from ExcaYard are pre-owned machines that have undergone a rigorous 150-point pre-shipment inspection, with photos and video provided for full transparency. We verify working hours and use paint-thickness checks to assess condition. Every machine is sourced, inspected, and shipped from China, ensuring you receive a reliable unit tailored to your needs.
How We Assess Condition
Condition is the foundation of every used Komatsu excavator we sell. Our 150-point inspection covers all major systems: engine, hydraulics, undercarriage, electrical, and structural components. We document everything with high-resolution photos and video, so you can see exactly what you're buying before it ships. We also verify working hours through multiple data points and use paint-thickness gauges to detect prior repairs or repainting. This process ensures that the machine you receive matches the condition we describe.

What the 150-Point Inspection Covers
Our inspection is comprehensive and divided into key areas:
- Engine: Oil analysis, compression test, belt and hose condition, turbocharger play, exhaust smoke.
- Hydraulics: Pump pressure, cylinder leakage, control valve response, hose integrity, swing and travel motors.
- Undercarriage: Track tension, sprocket and idler wear, roller condition, chain pitch, pad thickness.
- Structure: Boom and arm cracks, bucket wear, cab integrity, counterweight condition.
- Electrics: Battery health, alternator output, wiring harness, monitor panel functions.
- Functionality: All controls, safety locks, lights, and accessories.
Each point is rated, and any issues are either repaired or clearly disclosed. You receive a detailed report with the machine's condition.
Condition Grades and What They Mean
While we don't use a fixed grading scale, we describe each Komatsu excavator based on its actual condition. Typically, machines fall into these categories:
| Condition | Description | Typical Hours | Price Range (Indicative) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Excellent | Low hours, minimal wear, original paint, fully serviced | Under 5,000 | Typically higher |
| Good | Regular maintenance, some wear on undercarriage, ready to work | 5,000–10,000 | Typically mid-range |
| Fair | Higher hours, visible wear, may need minor repairs | 10,000–15,000 | Typically lower |
| Project | Needs significant work, sold as-is with full disclosure | Over 15,000 | Typically budget |
