How much do you know about the skills of buying a small
excavator?
When buying an excavator, price is often the first factor we consider, but in addition, what should we pay attention to?
01 Quality Stability
The model of the excavator is related to the weight, for example, the vehicle weight of 30 excavators is 3 tons, but the state regulations allow 10% of the weight float, so in fact, the floating range of 40 excavators may be about 3 tons.
In order to maximize their own interests, some manufacturers will use this 10% legal weight floating ratio to cut corners in the production process of excavators, thereby indirectly reducing the cost performance of excavators.
Therefore, when choosing an excavator, we should not only look at the brand and model of the excavator, but also pay attention to its actual weight.
02 After-sales Service
As long as the excavator is still in use, it is inevitable that there will be failures, so when we buy the excavator, we must consider how to remedy the failure in advance and recover the losses in time.
At this time, we must first understand the after-sales support ability of the excavator manufacturer, how many after-sales personnel can serve the excavator at any time, whether they can help repair the equipment, if the excavator fails, whether the service personnel can go to the scene in time to troubleshoot and so on.
After all, for the site, especially for mining operations, time is money, so whether the later service of the manufacturer can be in place is an important factor that has to be weighed.
03 Parts Inventory
Excavator operation is a high-intensity and high-risk work. In the construction process, many excavators often cause damage to the body parts due to accidents or failures.
Because of this objective problem, we must understand whether the manufacturer’s spare parts inventory capacity can meet the needs of buyers before buying the excavator, if the manufacturer’s spare parts supply capacity is insufficient and the excavator can not work for a long time, then the economic loss is undoubtedly huge.
04 Second-hand hedge interest rate
Long term use of excavators will age, if you want to change careers or buy a new excavator in the future, the old excavator should consider the residual value of the second phone when changing hands.
The second-hand excavator is not cost-effective, how much is the second-hand mining machine of the same brand worth, how is the consumer recognition, and whether the reputation is good is also an issue that needs to be considered before purchase.
05 Operating Comfort
Whether an excavator is suitable for yourself, in addition to cost-effective, “feel” is also very important.
For different working conditions, each excavator will operate in a slightly different way, just like driving, but also pay attention to whether its operation is consistent with your previous driving habits.
Regardless of these personal daily habits, whether the field of vision is open, the level of noise, and whether the air conditioning and circuit system are reasonable and perfect are all “hardware” issues that need to be considered.
06 Fuel consumption
It is said that it is easier to buy a car than to keep a car, and there is no doubt that the oil money accounts for the vast majority of the cost of owning a car.
When buying excavators, we also have to consider fuel consumption, because of the different types of excavators, different operation intensity, different excavator fuel consumption ratio is also different.
At this time, while referring to the paper parameters of the excavator, it is best to consult other excavators in the same industry, and then compare the fuel consumption of the same type and different brands of excavators, and choose the excavator that best suits your needs.
