What is your cheapest used excavator available for export right now?
ExcaYard does not list exact stock numbers or fixed prices because inventory changes daily. The cheapest used excavator available for export depends on current yard stock, machine condition, and your destination. We source, inspect, and ship pre-owned Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Volvo, Doosan, Hyundai, Kobelco, Sany, XCMG, SDLG, LiuGong, and Sunward machines worldwide from our base in Hefei, Anhui, China.
How We Determine the Cheapest Option
Price is driven by model, age, hours, condition, and market demand. Smaller machines and older units typically cost less. However, every machine we export undergoes a 150-point pre-shipment inspection with photos and video, hours verification, and paint-thickness checks. This ensures you know exactly what you are buying. We do not sell uninspected or undocumented equipment.

Machine Condition and the 150-Point Inspection
Every used excavator we export undergoes a 150-point pre-shipment inspection. This covers engine, hydraulics, undercarriage, electrical systems, and structural integrity. We verify hours and check paint thickness to detect previous repairs or repainting. You receive detailed photos and video before shipment. This transparency helps you avoid hidden costs and ensures the machine meets your expectations.
