What is the FOB price of a used XCMG 20-ton excavator?
A used XCMG 20-ton excavator typically has an indicative FOB China price range of USD 25,000 to 45,000, depending on model, year, working hours, condition and configuration. This is an indicative range only; the exact FOB price is confirmed after inspection and specification review. ExcaYard sources, inspects and ships pre-owned XCMG machines worldwide from Hefei, Anhui, China.
What drives the FOB price of a used XCMG 20-ton excavator?
FOB (Free On Board) price covers the machine loaded onto the vessel at a Chinese port. The main factors are:
- Model and configuration – XCMG 20-ton class machines vary in engine, hydraulic system, boom length and attachments.
- Year of manufacture – newer machines generally command higher prices.
- Working hours – verified hours directly affect value; ExcaYard performs hours verification.
- Condition – undercarriage wear, hydraulic performance, structural integrity and paint thickness are checked.
- Inspection results – the 150-point pre-shipment inspection with photos and video documents the machine’s true state.
- Market demand – prices fluctuate with global demand and availability.
