What is the 50-ton excavator price?
Indicative pricing for a 50-ton used excavator from China typically ranges from $85,000 to $220,000 FOB, depending on brand, year, hours, and condition. Final cost depends on machine specifics, destination, and shipping method. ExcaYard sources, inspects, and ships pre-owned machines worldwide, ensuring transparency and quality.
What Determines the Price of a 50-Ton Excavator?
Several factors influence the price of a used 50-ton excavator. Brand, model year, operating hours, overall condition, and included attachments all play a role. Machines from premium brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, and Hitachi often command higher prices due to durability and parts availability. Older units with higher hours are more affordable but may require more maintenance. ExcaYard provides a 150-point pre-shipment inspection with photos and video, including hours verification and paint-thickness checks, so you know exactly what you are buying.

Shipping Methods and Lead Time
We offer FOB or CIF terms. Shipping methods include RoRo, container, and flat-rack, with default ports in Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, and Tianjin. Typical CIF lead time is 28-45 days port-to-port.
