What is the FOB price of a used Doosan excavator from China?
Indicative FOB prices for used Doosan excavators from China typically range from about USD 18,000 to USD 85,000, depending on model, age, condition, and market demand. Smaller models (e.g., DX60, DX75) generally fall at the lower end, while larger units (e.g., DX300, DX340) command higher prices. These are indicative ranges only; final pricing is confirmed after inspection and specification review.
What Determines the FOB Price of a Used Doosan Excavator?
FOB (Free On Board) price covers the machine's cost and delivery to the port of loading, including export clearance. Several factors influence the final figure:
- Model and size: Larger, heavier machines require more raw materials and have higher base values.
- Year of manufacture: Newer machines typically cost more, but condition and hours matter more than age alone.
- Operating hours: Lower hours generally indicate less wear and a higher price.
- Condition and maintenance history: Machines with verified service records and original paint often fetch premium prices.
- Attachments and options: Hydraulic breakers, quick couplers, and extra buckets add value.
- Market demand: Popular models in your region may be priced higher due to competition.
ExcaYard sources, inspects, and ships pre-owned Doosan machines from Hefei, Anhui, China. Every unit undergoes a 150-point pre-shipment inspection with photos and video, including hours verification and paint-thickness checks to confirm authenticity.

Condition and the 150-Point Inspection
Condition is the single most important price factor. ExcaYard performs a rigorous 150-point pre-shipment inspection on every machine. This includes:
- Engine, hydraulic system, and undercarriage assessment.
- Hours verification via ECU data where available.
- Paint-thickness checks to detect prior repainting or accident damage.
- Functional testing of all controls and attachments.
- Photo and video documentation shared with the buyer before shipment.
This process ensures you know exactly what you are paying for and reduces the risk of hidden defects.
Documentation and Certifications
ExcaYard handles export certifications required by your destination country. These may include:
- SONCAP for Nigeria
- SABER for Saudi Arabia
- PVoC for Kenya, Tanzania, and Ghana
- GSA for Ghana
- KEBS for Kenya
Standard shipping documents include commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. Certifications are arranged based on the destination and are not automatically included in the FOB price; they may add cost and lead time.
Payment Terms
ExcaYard accepts:
- T/T USD wire transfer – most common method.
- L/C through Bank of China – for larger orders or buyer preference.
- Wise – for smaller transactions or faster processing.
Payment terms are agreed before contract signing. Typically, a deposit is required to secure the machine, with the balance due before shipment.
Shipping Methods and Lead Time
ExcaYard offers FOB or CIF terms. Shipping methods include:
- RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off): Ideal for larger excavators that can be driven onto the vessel.
- Container: Suitable for smaller models (up to about 20 tons) that can be dismantled or fit into a 40ft container.
- Flat-rack: For machines that are too large for a standard container but need weather protection.
Default ports of loading are Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, and Tianjin. Typical CIF lead time is 28–45 days port-to-port, depending on destination and vessel schedule. For example, shipping to Ghana may take 35–45 days. You can read more about shipping used excavators to Ghana for reference.
