Mechanically sound · cosmetic wear disclosed. Sourced from 北京市, China. 18 current photos available; walkaround video and extra angles can be recorded on inquiry.
We do not list specifications we have not personally cross-checked against the Kobelco SK260LC8 OEM brochure for this exact variant. On your inquiry, we send the complete spec sheet (engine power / hydraulic flow / dimensions / dig reach / travel speed / fuel consumption) along with the 150-point inspection report.
We grade by measured fact, not by hope. The bars show our inspector's estimate of remaining service life per major system. Detailed wear photos and OEM-tool readouts are in the inspection report.
The timeline below traces this unit’s known service events. Where source-yard records are incomplete, we reconstruct typical service intervals based on hour count — and disclose this transparently.
First major service interval — engine oil, hydraulic filter, fuel filter replacement.
Mid-life service — coolant flush, final drive oil, swing gear lubrication.
Routine service — air filter, fuel filter, cabin filter, hydraulic oil sample analysis.
ExcaYard 150-point pre-export inspection — engine compression, hydraulic cycle test, undercarriage measurement, ECM data extraction.
The inspection note is shared on inquiry. Major findings, visible wear, current photo set, and any requested extra angles are reviewed before payment.
Some exporters quote low CIF then add discovery fees, doc fees, handling fees, lashing surcharges. Our CIF is the total — only port-side destination charges (controlled by your local broker, not us) are extra.

Equipped with the original OEM engine, this excavator offers 26.0 tons of operating weight, providing stability and digging power. The standard bucket is included, and the hydraulic system operates smoothly. Key components such as the swing motor, travel motor, and main control valve are in good working condition. The undercarriage shows moderate wear consistent with the hours.
Grade B: The machine has been inspected and is in fair condition. There is visible wear on the bucket teeth, track pads, and some hoses.
