Product Description
I test-operated this SANY SY18C mini-excavator on a patch of muddy ground. The tracks were packed with mud and looked as though they hadn’t been cleaned in months—though, in reality, that is often the condition of most Chinese-made equipment in actual use. There was no delay in the engine starting up, no smoke and it runs quite smoothly for a tractor engine – it’s nothing like a cat engine but it gets the job done. There is no hesitation or jerking in hydraulics and no weep on cylinders and boom sticks look to be in good order but coated with dust. All bucket pins will play with some, but not too much for a machine that was used for digging, quick coupler works fine—grabbed and released no problems.
Operator station is dirty, I mean dust on the ground mat, dust on the seat, control levers have probably never been wiped down, mechanism, not a problem, (mechanically), in fact it will show with a dirty seat, etc that the machine was worked and not babied. ROPS canopy is this type of fabric – a few smaller tears around the corners but the rest is solid structure. Faded yellow paint on body, sun damage does exist; some scuffing just all around sides & back, but no noticeable big scuffs/dents in frame (that I could see). Hydraulic lines under the cab–let me take a look at my notes again–yeah I got down there and looked close, everything’s dry, just caked in old dirt and grime, no fresh oil fingerprints in the area around the pump or motors. Packed with dried mud, which is normal in sprockets & idlers, underneath looks like it has worked wet ground, by the amount of clay stuck to it & packed in the rollers. This machine is of good digging value in general. No swing bearing play, blade operates freely with no slop, no oil burning or knocking in the engine. It’s dirty. It’s used. Tracks must be up-kept and paid attention to, sooner than later. Mechanically it’s ok for a mini ex in this price range, no broken or leaking parts that will no longer run if you use it tomorrow. Just do not expect it to be showroom ready since you are purchasing one that you will be using in your professional life.

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.
Mark Davies
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.
Godfrey Mugisha
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.
Samir Haddad
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.
