Comparative analysis of imported and domestic second-hand excavators:
Quality and durability
Imported second-hand excavators:
Imported excavators include Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Kobelco, etc. These brands dominate the global excavator market.
Imported excavators are generally of higher quality and durability, with a long service life and suitable for long-term high-load work.
Second-hand excavator equipment is mostly designed for the international market, so it is more technologically advanced, with higher fuel efficiency, work efficiency and more advanced control systems.
Domestic second-hand excavators:
Domestic excavators include Liugong, Sany, Xugong, etc., which are gradually recognized in domestic and foreign markets.
Due to the lack of technology and brand accumulation, the quality and durability of domestic equipment may not be comparable to imported brands, but there are also some domestic brands of high-end products that can compete with imported brands.
In recent years, domestic brands have paid more and more attention to innovation and technology, improving the fuel efficiency, operating stability and comfort of equipment.
Price
Imported second-hand excavators:
Due to brand premium, import tariffs, transportation costs, etc., the price is higher. Even second-hand equipment is still more expensive than domestic equipment. Imported brand second-hand excavator equipment has higher technical content and long-term use value.
Domestic second-hand excavators:
Domestic second-hand excavators are relatively low in price and are usually suitable for companies with limited budgets or small and medium-sized construction projects.
Cost-effective second-hand excavator. When the budget is tight, you can choose cost-effective domestic equipment.
After-sales service and accessories
Imported second-hand excavators:
The after-sales service of imported second-hand excavators is relatively complete, and many major brands provide global maintenance services and spare parts supply.
The accessories of imported brands are usually more expensive, and it may take a long time to purchase through special channels, which will affect the efficiency of repair and maintenance.
Domestic second-hand excavators:
The supply of accessories for domestic second-hand excavators is more convenient and the price is relatively low. In China, most domestic brands have a wide range of after-sales service outlets, and repair and maintenance are relatively convenient.
The supply of accessories is more timely, and users can repair and replace more quickly, reducing downtime.
Technical level and innovation
Imported second-hand excavators:
The technical level of imported second-hand excavators is more advanced, and they have great advantages in automation, intelligence, and environmental protection. For example, many imported brands of equipment are equipped with advanced sensors, GPS, remote monitoring systems and other functions.
Efficient fuel economy and operating comfort are also outstanding advantages of imported equipment, which are suitable for long-term operation and high-load environments.
Domestic second-hand excavators:
Domestic second-hand excavator brands have been continuously innovating in technology in recent years and have launched some high-end models that meet international standards.
Domestic equipment has developed rapidly in intelligence and environmental protection, but there is still a certain gap compared with imported brands.
Applicability and performance
Imported second-hand excavators:
Imported excavators are suitable for high-intensity and high-demand working environments. They have a strong power system, precise operating system and high working efficiency.
For demanding working scenarios (such as mining, oil, and engineering machinery), imported high-efficiency second-hand excavators can be used, which perform better.
Domestic second-hand excavators:
Domestic excavators are more suitable for some medium and low-intensity operations, such as municipal construction, infrastructure and general construction.
With the improvement of domestic brands, some domestic models can also achieve higher standards in terms of high performance and high efficiency.
Equipment value preservation and residual value
Imported second-hand excavators:
Imported equipment has a higher residual value, especially those of well-known brands, because of their brand value and technical content, they can often obtain better value preservation in the second-hand market.
Domestic second-hand excavators:
The residual value of domestic equipment is relatively low, but with the increase in domestic market demand and the improvement of domestic brands, the value preservation ability of some equipment is gradually improving.
Imported second-hand excavators are suitable for users who have high requirements for equipment performance and technology, long-term use and sufficient budget, and are suitable for large-scale, long-term projects.
Domestic second-hand excavators are more suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or projects with limited budgets and not particularly high requirements for equipment.
