• Whether you are buying new or used commercial
  equipment, all of them come with a hefty price
  tag. Because of this, it is imperative that you
  carefully invest your money and only buy a
  well-maintained and reliable piece of equipment.
  If you are on a tight budget and are thinking of
  buying a used excavator, then there are certain
  factors that you should consider before making
  the purchasing decision.

Exterior Condition

• The first and foremost thing you should do is
  perform a thorough visual inspection. Check all
  the parts for bends, welds, cracks, and dents. In
  used excavators, if the stick and boom have bends
  and warps, it means that it has been heavily
  used. This is a major type of damage and the only
  solution is to replace the entire part which can
  be quite expensive. Moreover, if there are dents
  on any other parts, this could mean that the
  excavator had been misused by the previous owner.

4
Hydraulics and Leaks

• Hydraulics play an important part in an excavator
  and if there are any leaks, then it can be a sign
  of degeneration and misuse. Thoroughly examine
  lines, hoses, and cylinders, and check the
  hydraulic pump compartment for any possible
  leaks. Moreover, another important part to
  inspect is the slew ring, as it is one of the
  most expensive items to replace or repair. Rotate
  the housing to a quarter turn and check if the
  slew ring is still tight and smooth.

5
Scalloping

• Check for signs of scalloping between the
  excavator bucket teeth, which are typically in a
  half-mooned shape. If it is not in proper
  condition, then it can reduce the cutting force
  of the bucket.

6
Undercarriage

• Check the excavator's undercarriage and inspect
  for any signs of damage. If the excavator has not
  been properly maintained by the previous owner,
  then the undercarriage will mostly likely be
  damaged. The amount of cracks and dents on the
  undercarriage can give you a clear idea of the
  condition of the used Excavator undercarriage
  parts.
