What to look for when buying an excavator?

When purchasing and using an excavator, the concerns of construction machinery customers usually include, but are not limited to, 

the following aspects:

1. Performance Parameters: -Engine Power: The operating efficiency of an excavator largely depends on the power system it is 

equipped with. -Digging force and lifting capacity: Bucket capacity, digging force and lifting force directly affect the construction 

efficiency. -Moving arm and bucket length: It determines the working range and flexibility of the excavator.

2. Brand and quality: -Brand reputation: Customers will consider excavators from well-known brands such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, 

Sany Heavy Industry, etc., as they often represent stable quality and good after-sales service. -Structural design and durability: 

The overall structural strength of the machine, material selection and reliability of key components are important indicators for 

customers to evaluate product quality.

3. Operating costs and economic benefits: -Fuel consumption rate: low fuel consumption can reduce operating costs. Maintenance 

cost: the price of spare parts, the convenience of maintenance services and maintenance intervals have a direct impact on the 

long-term cost of ownership. -Return on investment: Calculate the return on investment cycle by comparing the purchase price, 

service life, working efficiency and other factors.

4. Technical advancement: - Intelligent level: whether it is equipped with advanced electronic control system, GPS positioning, 

remote monitoring and other intelligent functions. -Safety devices and comfort: such as the safety and comfort configuration 

of the cab, including shock absorption, air conditioning, vision, etc.

5. After-sales service: -After-sales policy: warranty period, warranty scope, extended warranty service, fault response speed and 

technical support. -Accessories supply: availability and price of original accessories. -Training support: whether the manufacturer 

provides operator training and technical guidance.

6. Adaptation to working conditions: - Construction machinery needs to choose the right model according to the actual working 

conditions, such as soil quality, climate conditions, type of project (excavation, crushing, loading, etc.).

7. Used market value: - For some customers, the future residual value of the equipment is also one of the factors to consider, good 

brands and models in the second-hand market will have a higher rate of preservation of value.

8. Environmental standards: - In the current increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the emission standards of the equipment

 is also an important point of consideration.
