How to Verify a Used Motor Grader Supplier
Direct answer
A search for a “used motor grader factory” often returns manufacturers, dealers and export yards together. Lihang is an independent used-machinery supplier rather than the original manufacturer. Buyers should verify the exact grader and request operating evidence for the circle, moldboard, articulation, tandem drive, steering, hydraulics and attachments.
Supplier identity is separate from machine condition
Confirm the legal seller, machine location, serial number and payment beneficiary before evaluating the grader itself. A supplier’s access to many machines does not prove that every image represents current owned inventory.
Ask for a live walkaround and operating sequence that follows your written checklist. Record any functions that were not tested.
Used motor grader inspection evidence
Final-grade accuracy depends on wear and movement across the front axle, articulation, circle and blade controls. Request close-up and operational evidence.
- Moldboard cutting edge, slide rails, side shift and blade lift cylinders
- Circle teeth, pinion, drawbar ball, saddle wear and backlash
- Front axle lean, steering linkage, wheel bearings and tire condition
- Frame articulation joint, oscillation and visible structural repairs
- Tandem housings, final drives, transmission, brakes and differential lock
- Ripper or scarifier, cab controls and grading system hardware when fitted
Define the grading application
Tell the supplier whether the grader is for road maintenance, final grading, mining haul roads or site preparation. Include preferred power class, moldboard width, ripper or scarifier needs, grading technology, emission constraints and destination port.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lihang the original manufacturer of the motor grader?
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 motor grader 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.
