Facing China’s huge inventory of used equipment and uneven supply channels, what issues should be considered when selecting equipment?
1. Always choose reliable channels. It has to be admitted that the environment of China’s second-hand market is very complicated. For example, some relatively concentrated second-hand markets have formed in Hebei, Shandong and Guangdong, among which a large number of sellers make profits by selling substandard equipment. Some equipment may look good, but it may be equipment that has been in an accident or equipment that has been severely damaged and refurbished.
2. Choose the right brand. In fact, the products of China’s mainstream brands still have quality assurance, such as Sany, XCMG, Zoomlion, Liugong, etc. However, each manufacturer still has relative advantages and disadvantages in terms of different types of equipment. If you want to purchase an excavator, then we would preferentially recommend the Sany brand. If it is a crane, then XCMG and Zoomlion would be a good choice, and so on. Different types of equipment will have some differences in terms of usage stability, second-hand liquidity, and after-sales service, so it is important to fully communicate with our service personnel when purchasing.
3. Carefully inspect the equipment. Construction machinery is a product with a complex structure, involving many core components, and the condition of each second-hand piece of equipment is different. Even if you purchase through our platform, you should still fully understand the condition of each piece of equipment. We recommend that you first carefully read our inspection report to fully grasp the maintenance information, core components, and defect notifications mentioned therein. In addition, before concluding the transaction, be sure to observe the equipment’s performance via video. You can also apply for the on-site inspection service provided by the platform. Our inspectors will show you the core components of the device via video and demonstrate the various functions of the device.
4. Legal and shipping guarantees: We have developed a standardized trading process that includes the necessary guarantee terms and shipping methods. It is strongly recommended that buyers and sellers trade according to the platform standards, and platform service specialists will also monitor the trading process throughout.
