When buying a excavadora usada, it is very important to understand its age and usage. Age not only affects the service life of the equipment, but also the maintenance history and performance stability of the equipment. Through some specific signs and inspection methods, you can effectively distinguish the different years of used excavators.
As we all know, different years of used excavators represent different usage conditions and vehicle conditions, and will also affect the later operation of the vehicle to a certain extent, and are also related to the maintenance history and performance stability of the equipment. If you can understand it clearly in advance, it will also allow everyone to understand and judge the use of a used excavator from more dimensions.
Check the production year label of the machine
Most excavators will indicate the production year or production serial number on the engine compartment, cab or body. This label usually provides information such as the manufacturing year and model of the equipment. You can confirm the approximate age of the excavator by checking this label. The label position of different brands may vary, and you can usually get help by consulting the equipment manual or directly consulting the seller.
Check the appearance wear of the equipment
The appearance condition of the excavator is an intuitive standard reflecting its service life. As the service life increases, the appearance of the machine usually shows different degrees of wear. For example, operating levers, tracks, hydraulic pipes and other parts will wear out due to frequent operation, and the body paint may fade or rust. In addition, checking whether there is obvious corrosion in the fuel tank, engine casing, etc. can also help determine the service life and maintenance of the equipment.
Check the working hours and maintenance records
The "working hours" of an excavator is an important indicator for judging its service life. Each excavator will record the working time during use, and this number of hours can be queried through the instrument panel or data acquisition system of the equipment. Generally speaking, the higher the working hours, the greater the service life and wear of the machine. By comparing the working hours of different second-hand equipment, you can get a preliminary understanding of their service life and work intensity.
In addition, the maintenance records of the equipment are also an important basis for judging the age and condition. If the seller provides detailed repair and maintenance records, you can use these documents to understand whether the machine has been maintained in time and whether there is a history of major failures. Equipment that is well maintained on a regular basis may maintain good performance even if it is older.
Check the condition of the engine and hydraulic system
The engine and hydraulic system are the core components of the excavator and are also the key to judging the age and condition of the machine. After the engine has been used for a long time, it may leak oil, make abnormal noise, lack of power and other problems; the pipelines, cylinders and other components of the hydraulic system may also leak oil or performance decline due to the increase in service life. By carefully checking the status of these components, you can evaluate the age of the equipment and whether parts need to be replaced.
Ask about the use history of the equipment
Finally, it is also very necessary to understand the actual use history of the excavator. Some equipment may be frequently transferred or have experienced high-intensity use, which may affect the age and condition of the equipment. Communicating with the seller and asking about the working environment of the equipment and whether it has undergone major repairs can help you better understand the actual age and use of the equipment.
Before buying a second-hand excavator or other second-hand engineering equipment, you must carefully check the important data indicators, and it is best to have professional technicians accompany you to identify the actual situation of the equipment to ensure that you buy reliable second-hand engineering equipment. Before our company sells the equipment, there will be corresponding experts to conduct professional inspections on the machinery in order to provide users and buyers with the best quality second-hand engineering equipment.
