If you have found an online ad that suits you, check several criteria before committing yourself:

The seller and the website

The sale of used mini excavators between individuals is sometimes fraught with pitfalls and scams. Be extremely vigilant about tempting ads that break the market price. If possible, find a construction equipment resale company that has the knowledge to guide you. The ad sites specialized in the resale of construction equipment are also useful to give you an idea of price range and trends.

The payment method

It is not recommended to pay a deposit without having at least seen the machine (or asking to see it). The best thing is to go to the site to try it out, this allows you to meet the seller, confirm its existence and try the machine!

Many scammers will ask you to pay for your purchase via pre-paid cards, PCS coupons or to pay money into IBAN accounts that change weekly. Don't fall into their trap because once you pay, it's very difficult to get your money back.

A compromise with another mini excavator

Even with the solutions discussed above, you are not sure if you should take the plunge? If it's a question of budget, you can always look for a lighter or more powerful machine. An 800 kg mini excavator for sale can sometimes be suitable for the job. At RHINOCEROS Mini Excavator, the XN-08 model is priced at €6,500 plus tax and comes with a 2-year warranty! This mini excavator is the lightest in the range and is therefore very easy to transport. All you need is a trailer or utility vehicle and a pair of loading ramps.

Finally, you can always try your luck and find a Mini-Excavator to donate!
