01
This 2012 Doosan DH55V mini excavator, sourced from our Lishui City yard in China, is a Grade C unit with 12,000 hours. It has undergone standard wear and tear consistent with its age and workload. The machine is powered by an OEM engine, still operational but requiring attention to maintain reliability. Priced for buyers seeking a budget-friendly entry into the 5.5-ton class, this unit is best suited for light to medium applications where full performance is not critical. Sold as-is, it offers a cost-effective solution for projects with limited capital.
02
The Doosan DH55V features a 5.5-ton operating weight and an OEM engine (likely a Yanmar or Doosan) delivering adequate power for its class. The bucket shows moderate wear, with cutting edges that may need replacement soon. Key components like the undercarriage have noticeable wear, including some sprocket and idler fatigue. The hydraulic system has minor seepage at fittings. This is a working machine with no major structural cracks, but it does not meet Grade A or B standards. Buyers should budget for preventive maintenance upon arrival.
03
Grade C: This excavator shows clear signs of extensive use. The engine starts and runs but has oil leaks and reduced power. The hydraulic system operates but has slow cycle times. The undercarriage has worn track chains and sprockets. The bucket is usable but worn. There is cosmetic rust and dents. We disclose all visible issues: the machine is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty. It is suitable for buyers who have in-house mechanics and can perform repairs. Honest condition for a budget-minded export buyer.

The Doosan DH55V is a well-known model in emerging markets due to its simple design and parts availability. Doosan's global dealer network ensures that spare parts are accessible in Africa, SE Asia, and Latin America. The 5.5-ton size is versatile for small construction, utility work, and agriculture. Despite its high hours and Grade C condition, this machine offers a low entry cost for buyers who can handle maintenance. It is a practical choice for contractors needing a secondary machine or for parts harvesting.
