Confirm the work content and choose the appropriate excavator according to the working environment, such as a short-tail excavator for narrow space, an excavator with wide tracks for soft ground, and an amphibious excavator for the river.
2. Inspection of core components
Engine: Check the color of the engine oil. If it turns white, it may be mixed with water. If it turns black, it needs to be replaced.
Hydraulic system: Check whether the hydraulic oil is clean. If it is turbid or has metal chips, it indicates that the hydraulic pump valve is worn.
Observe whether there are signs of oil leakage in the hydraulic pipeline
Structural parts: Check the wear of the track plate, supporting roller, and supporting sprocket.
3. Dynamic test of the excavator
Through on-site measurement or video, test and observe whether the slewing bearing of the excavator is stable, whether there is excessive clearance or noise.
4. Professional support
If you cannot judge the quality of the excavator, you can also ask a professional testing agency to inspect the machine, which can avoid major hidden dangers.
5. Anti-fraud advice
Beware of low-price traps: prices far below the market may be scams, and the seller may not have the goods
Avoid assembling machines: equipment assembled from different parts has a short lifespan and may hide serious faults.
Verify the seller's information: individual sellers need to be interviewed, and corporate sellers need to check the business information
