Q2. What should buyers check before purchasing used machinery from China?

FAQ 2026-08-18

Buyers should request a live video inspection or hire a third-party inspector. Key checks include:

  1. Engine startup and smoke: Check for easy cold starts and blue/black exhaust.
  2. Hydraulic system: Test the boom, arm, and bucket for smooth operation and leaks.
  3. Serial number: Verify the machine plate and serial number match the documents and haven’t been tampered with.
