Hydraulic Excavators: frequently asked questions

Should I inspect a used excavator?

Yes. An independent inspection of engine, hydraulics and undercarriage is strongly recommended.

How are excavators shipped?

RoRo where available, otherwise flat racks or break-bulk; small units can be containerised.

Are there import limits on used machinery?

Some countries restrict age or emissions. Check destination rules first.

Can attachments be included?

Yes. List buckets, breakers or couplers needed.
