10 Key Points for Evaluating the Value Retention Rate and Price Reference of Second-Hand Excavator Equipment (1)

　　Other than the introduction and a few materials provided by the salesperson, there is no way to have a detailed understanding and price evaluation of second-hand equipment before choosing to purchase a used excavator. Today, Tiedou will teach you how to evaluate the value retention rate of used excavator equipment in 5 simple steps. It is not applicable to special equipment.

　　1. Excavator brand and model

　　The value retention rate of each excavator equipment brand is different. For example, under the same working hours, working environment and factory date, the residual value of different brands varies greatly. Does it mean that the brand can bring more value retention rate? The answer is no. This is different from luxury goods or collectibles. Brands can indeed bring more value returns. Second-hand excavator equipment brands are based on excellent product quality and quality control for a long time. The greatest market recognition brought by long-term market use and user reputation is the brand value retention rate of second-hand equipment. We choose to buy from well-known manufacturers as much as possible.

　　2. Use time and factory date

　　This is common to any second-hand excavator or second-hand equipment. The length of working time is the most important core factor that directly affects the value retention rate of second-hand equipment. Top brands have a very high upper limit on service life, but a longer service life will significantly increase the load, pressure, wear and failure rate of the equipment. For users who buy second-hand excavator equipment, the time is too short and the price is too high. It is a very smart choice to recommend 3000-8000 hours. As for the date of manufacture, considering the excavator's utilization rate and work evaluation rate, equipment within 3-8 years can be considered. Equipment with good maintenance and maintenance for more than 10 years still has good performance. This requires consideration of other aspects for comprehensive judgment.

　　3. Maintenance records and historical repair records

　　In addition to the type of work, the biggest reason for the service life of the excavator is maintenance. In addition to the grease and three filters we know, the daily use of the excavator requires regular maintenance and maintenance of hydraulic oil, cooling system, pipelines, pin bushings, etc. Maintaining good maintenance habits can not only increase the service life of second-hand equipment, but also greatly improve the value retention rate. The maintenance records are mainly for the core assembly. The replacement of wearing parts can be ignored. If there is a maintenance record for the core assembly, it is necessary to understand the cause of the failure and the maintenance details in detail to avoid similar situations in the future.

　　4. Excavator performance and working status

　　This can be done by professional technicians simulating the working test of the equipment model. Professional operators can do the performance of the whole machine under the walking, rotation, digging force and dynamic state of the excavator.

　　5 Market situation

　　The value retention rate of brands in different countries is different. There are many types of excavators. If the demand for models is large, the price will inevitably increase. In addition to buying used excavators locally, Tiedou can buy many models and brands. In addition to the brand blessing, the reputation of the second-hand excavator purchase platform is also a hidden value. The balance between supply and demand can also lead to price fluctuations. The current global demand for second-hand equipment has increased sharply, and the difference in value will also lead to errors in the price of second-hand equipment. Today's brief introduction ends here, and tomorrow I will continue to introduce the other 5 factors about the value retention rate of excavators.
