Used excavator sourcing from China
Looking for a Used Excavator Factory?
Direct answer
Buyers searching for a “used excavator factory” usually need a supplier with access to machines, inspection evidence and export support—not an OEM production factory. Lihang Used Machinery is an independent used-equipment supplier. We help buyers identify suitable excavators and request evidence for the exact quoted unit before payment.
Factory, dealer or export yard: what is the difference?
An OEM factory manufactures new equipment under its own brand. A used-equipment dealer or export yard sources and resells pre-owned machines made by brands such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Sany and Volvo. The word “factory” in a search query should not replace company and machine verification.
Ask the seller to identify its legal contracting entity, the current location of the machine and whether the unit is owned, consigned or sourced through a partner. The invoice issuer and payment beneficiary should match the written transaction documents.
Evidence to request for a used excavator
Match every condition statement to the exact serial-numbered machine. A general yard video or a photo of the same model is not unit-specific evidence.
- Serial plate and full-machine walkaround recorded in one session
- Cold start, exhaust, engine bay and visible leak checks
- Boom, arm, bucket linkage, pins, welds and attachment plumbing
- Hydraulic response, cylinder rods, swing and travel operation
- Tracks, rollers, idlers, sprockets and undercarriage measurements
- Hour-meter display plus any available service or telematics records
Information needed for a comparable quotation
Send the intended work, preferred operating weight, brand or model, attachment needs, quantity, destination port and inspection requirements. Ask the seller to separate machine price, loading, inland transport, ocean freight and document scope.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lihang the original manufacturer of the excavator?
No. Lihang Used Machinery is an independent used-equipment supplier and export-support company. Brand names identify the original equipment manufacturers. Buyers should verify the exact machine, seller, contract and payment beneficiary before purchase.
What should I request before buying a used excavator remotely?
Request a current serial-plate photo, hour-meter evidence, a cold-start and operating video, close-ups of wear points, the known service or repair history, the inspection scope, the machine location and a written quotation for the exact unit.
Can I request an independent inspection?
Ask for an independent inspection before payment when it is needed and available. Put the inspection scope, acceptance criteria, access arrangements and responsibility for the inspection cost in writing.
Does a website listing confirm current stock or condition?
No. A listing or category page is a sourcing reference. Current availability, serial number, hours, attachments, condition, documents, price and shipping terms must be confirmed for the quoted machine.
