What Buyers Look For
What Brisbane Excavator buyers need to know
- State operating weight and bucket capacity — buyers match these to their project types

- Include all attachments: quick hitch, breakers, buckets, augers significantly increase value
- Undercarriage condition is the single most important inspection item — get it assessed before listing

How important is undercarriage condition when selling an excavator?
Critically important. An excavator with 60% undercarriage remaining is worth significantly more than one at 20%, even with fewer hours. Have an independent undercarriage assessment done before listing — it supports your price and avoids disputes.
