In recent years, buying a used small loader has become a wise choice to save costs for projects, but in the procurement process, you need to pay attention to many aspects of the equipment to ensure that the purchased equipment can meet the needs of the project and has good performance. Here are some practical suggestions for buying a used small loader, hoping to help you make a better choice.
Before buying a used small loader, you must first determine the purpose of the equipment according to the project needs. For example, some projects may require a loader for excavation and material handling in a small area, while other projects may require more flexibility in a small area. After clarifying the purpose, you can choose the right model and specification more targeted to avoid inefficiency or increased loss due to mismatched models.
The age and accumulated working hours of used equipment are important indicators for judging the condition of the equipment. Generally speaking, loaders with a shorter service life and fewer working hours usually have less wear and tear and relatively better performance. Although equipment with more working hours is not necessarily of poor quality, it may require more frequent maintenance and maintenance, so you need to be prepared for it. In addition, some equipment manufacturers may provide working hour records and equipment maintenance records, which can help you understand the actual use of the equipment more comprehensively.
The engine and transmission system are the core components of the small loader, which directly affect the working efficiency and life of the equipment. When purchasing, you should check whether the engine has abnormal noise, whether it starts smoothly, and whether the emission is normal. The inspection of the transmission system is equally important, especially whether the gearbox and drive axle are seriously worn. In addition, phenomena such as oil leakage should not be ignored, which may cause unstable operation of the equipment or even shutdown.
The hydraulic system of the small loader directly affects its ability to carry and lift materials. When checking the hydraulic system, it is necessary to ensure that there is no leakage in the oil pipes, valves and joints, the hydraulic cylinder runs smoothly without jamming, and the hydraulic oil is clean and uncontaminated. If there is leakage or instability in the hydraulic system, it may lead to reduced work efficiency and even safety accidents. Therefore, before purchasing, you should pay full attention to the inspection of the hydraulic system.
The tires and chassis are the basic parts of the small loader's load-bearing and driving, and their condition has an important impact on the durability of the equipment. Check the wear, cracks and aging of the tires to ensure that they can adapt to different road conditions at the construction site. Whether the chassis bolt connection is stable and whether the chassis structure is complete are details that need to be carefully checked. For second-hand equipment that has been used for a long time, the maintenance cost of the chassis and tires cannot be ignored, and a reasonable assessment should be made based on the wear before purchase.
Second-hand equipment may encounter the need for maintenance and replacement of parts during use, so it is very important to understand the after-sales service and spare parts supply of the purchased model. Spare parts for some brands and models may be scarce or expensive, so you can consult the equipment manufacturer or repair station before purchasing to ensure a stable supply of spare parts to avoid difficulties in later maintenance.
