Buying an excavator from China: checklist
Engine, regulations, spares and documents: what you should have in writing.
Engine and emissions
Ask in writing for the engine make and model and the emissions standard it meets for your country. Some versions in the range state Euro V or Euro 5 options according to the manufacturer.
Documents and marking
- Declaration of conformity and applicable CE marking, if the machine will be used in the EU.
- Manual in your language, packing list and shipping documents.
- Signed data sheet with weight, dimensions and the exact configuration.
Spares and warranty
Ask which wear parts are supplied with the machine, how they are ordered later and what the warranty covers. Agree in writing the factory lead times and the Incoterm.
