How do you verify the working hours on a used excavator?

How it works

An hour meter is a part, not a proof. Cross-check the reading against wear that hours cannot fake: pedal and joystick rub, seat condition, track or tyre wear, boom pin play and the general condition of hoses and wiring.

Where the machine has an electronic controller, service records or dealer history, ask for them. A machine with low indicated hours but heavy wear should be treated as having higher real hours.

Ask us for the model, tonnage or destination you have in mind — we reply with matching units and an FOB or CIF quotation.
