Product Description

The machine inspected this time is a Volvo EC290, an excavator in excellent condition. The engine compartment was checked first, as that’s the key area. Don’t get me wrong, the turquoise-colored engine block of this Volvo does have some rust, but that’s just a cosmetic issue.

Nothing cracked like there aren’t any scuffs at all on Counterweight. Boom cylinders and smooth extension no scoring on the rod that I could see and I think the pins were not sloppy – if I rock the stick back and forth. Bucket with basic digging set up. No worn away welds, and cutting edge is worn down but not completely off the bucket. Machine digs fine. No play.The lighting was not as good as I’ve hoped for it since it was overcast during my entire stay, but take the picture as is; it’s not a cream puff-souvenir, it’s a working machine that has been in the yard and gotten dirty due to doing actual work – this is evident as there are a row of Komatsu units behind it. When I arrived there, the panels of the engine compartment were already open so I’m assuming someone else has been in there at some point recently or maintenance work has been performed.

Picked up one 2025 CAT 320D2 for a highway expansion job we just won out in Texas. Was worried about the hours being rolled back because you see that everywhere now but our shop foreman plugged in the laptop and ECM matched the dash exactly. Good solid iron.

My guys have been running the Volvo EC210D we got off here for about 400 hours now. Zero downtime. The inspection report noted a slight weep on the bucket cylinder which I appreciated Equipment auditors on the machdealers platform telling me upfront. Repacked the cylinder for $150 and it's been making us money ever since.

Load a lot of containers for West Africa out of different ports. Best thing about machdealers platform is they get the export docs right the first time. Commercial invoice, packing list, title. No delays at Jebel Ali Port Customs. Bought 4 KOMATSU PC200-8 from them so far.

We run a basalt quarry site in Central Ethiopia, we needed a 36 ton heavy excavator that can run 24/7 loading rock. Found a used KOMATSU PC 350 on here, after 3 weeks non stop continuous operation on site, engine temperature stayed normal all the time. That machine takes so much beating on our rocky ground, no issues at all. Exactly the tough workhorse we needed.

The shipment from korea to Uganda took a little over four weeks, slightly longer than I was initially told, but the platform sent me weekly photo updates showing the machine's location on the ship, so I never worried about losing money. The machine arrived in perfect condition, and the short wait was worthwhile. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

We found a Volvo EC240 excavator at a very good price for our new residential project. The seller even uploaded complete maintenance records from the previous owner, saving us the cost of hiring an independent inspector and flying in to check the machine's condition. This alone saved us over $800 in travel expenses.

The team here truly understands the procurement process of construction companies—they won't bombard you with sales calls after you submit an inquiry, but will send you the specifications, prices, and inspection documents you require within an hour. 10/10, they will be our first choice for all future upgrades and replacements of our excavator fleet.

    I’m a one man show doing septic tanks and grading. Rented forever until I found a Kubota U35 here. Wth financing rates right now I needed a cash deal. Got a great price. Rubber tracks are almost new. Starts every morning no problem.
