Buying process
Inspection before you pay
Inspection is the part of the deal that decides whether the machine is worth the price. It happens before the balance is paid, and the scope is agreed in writing.
What we show you
- Cold-start video: engine start from cold, exhaust, smoke, idle sound.
- Dashboard photo and video showing the same hour reading in one take.
- Undercarriage: track shoes, rollers, idlers, sprockets, chain stretch.
- Bucket, pins and bushings, hydraulic cylinders for leaks.
- Cab, controls, display and any fault codes shown on screen.
Your own inspector
You can send a third-party inspector or appoint one in China. We give yard access, the unit file and the machine at the agreed time. The inspection report belongs to you.
What inspection does not cover
An inspection is evidence of condition at a point in time, not a warranty. Wear items that fail later are not covered unless a warranty is written into the contract.
Common questions
Can inspection happen before the deposit?
The unit file, photos and video are sent before any payment so you can shortlist. A deposit can hold the machine, and the physical inspection window is written into the order before the balance.
Can I use my own inspector?
Yes. Send your inspector or appoint one locally; we provide access and the machine file.
What if the machine does not match the file?
The order stops at inspection. The deposit terms in the contract apply, and we do not ask you to pay the balance for a machine that does not match its file.
