  • How to Inspect Used Excavators in Canada

    Purchasing a used excavator represents a strategic investment for construction companies, landscaping businesses, and independent contractors across Canada. With new heavy equipment prices continuing to rise, the pre-owned market offers substantial savings—but only when you know exactly what to inspect before buying. This comprehensive guide walks you through the essential inspection points that separate good deals from costly mistakes.

    The excavator's engine condition directly impacts performance reliability and operating costs. When inspecting used excavators:

    • Listen for unusual engine noises during cold start and under load
    • Check for oil leaks around seals, gaskets, and filters
    • Inspect exhaust smoke color (blue smoke indicates oil burning; black smoke suggests fuel system issues)
    • Verify oil quality and levels using the dipstick
    • Examine coolant condition for proper color and absence of oil contamination
    • Inspect belts and hoses for cracks, wear points, or deterioration

    A properly maintained engine typically delivers consistent performance with lower repair costs throughout your ownership experience.
