What is the FOB price of a used XCMG excavator from China?
Indicative FOB prices for used XCMG excavators from China typically range from around USD 18,000 to USD 85,000, depending on model size, year, condition, and market demand. Smaller 13–20 ton machines usually fall in the lower part of that range, while larger 30–50 ton units command higher figures. Because every used machine is unique, the only way to get an accurate FOB price is to request a current quote based on a specific unit.
What Determines the FOB Price of a Used XCMG Excavator?
FOB (Free On Board) means the price includes delivery of the machine to the named Chinese port and loading onto the vessel, but not ocean freight or insurance. Several factors drive the final number:
- Model and operating weight: A 13-ton XCMG XE135 will typically cost far less than a 50-ton XE500.
- Year of manufacture and hours: Lower hours and newer years generally mean higher prices.
- Condition and maintenance history: Machines with verified service records and original paint typically attract a premium.
- Attachments and configuration: Hydraulic breakers, quick couplers, and long booms can add value.
- Market demand and availability: Prices fluctuate with supply and demand in China and in your destination region.

Condition and the 150-Point Inspection
Every used XCMG excavator sourced by ExcaYard undergoes a 150-point pre-shipment inspection. This covers the engine, hydraulics, undercarriage, electrical systems, and structural components. We verify working hours and use paint-thickness checks to help identify prior repairs or repainting. You receive detailed photos and video so you can assess the machine before it ships. If you prefer, you can also arrange a third-party inspection for additional peace of mind.
Documentation and Certifications
Exporting used machinery requires correct paperwork. ExcaYard handles the following certifications depending on your destination:
- SONCAP for Nigeria
- SABER for Saudi Arabia
- PVoC for Kenya, Tanzania, and Ghana
- GSA for Ghana

Standard shipping documents include a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. We prepare these to match your import requirements.
