What elements should a proper checklist for inspecting a used excavator contain?

Inspecting a used excavator is crucial to ensure that it is in good working condition and meets your requirements. Here’s a checklist to guide you through the inspection process:

1. Overall Inspection:

• Check for visible signs of damage, cracks, or welds on the frame.
• Look for any signs of oil or fluid leaks underneath the machine.
• Inspect the condition of the paint for rust, peeling, or excessive wear.

2. Undercarriage:

• Check the tracks or tires for wear, damage, or uneven tread wear.
• Inspect the rollers, idlers, and sprockets for excessive wear.
• Measure the track tension and check for any loose or damaged components.

3. Engine:

• Start the engine and check for unusual noises, smoke, or vibrations.
• Inspect for oil leaks around the engine and related components.
• Check the air filter for cleanliness.

4. Hydraulics:

• Test all hydraulic functions, including boom, arm, and bucket movements.
• Look for leaks in hydraulic hoses, fittings, and connections.
• Check the hydraulic fluid level and condition.

5. Boom, Stick and Bucket:

• Inspect the boom, stick and bucket for signs of damage, cracks, or excessive wear.
• Check for smooth and precise operation of these components.
• Ensure there is no play in the pivot points.

6. Swing Drive & Gear:

• Test the swing functionality for smooth operation.
• Check for any unusual noises during the rotation.
• Inspect the slew ring for wear or damage. Measure the play.

7. Cab and Controls:

• Inspect the condition of the cab, looking for damage, rust, or water leaks.
• Test all controls for smooth operation.
• Check the condition of the operator’s seat, seatbelt, and visibility.

8. Tracks/Undercarriage:

• Inspect the condition of tracks for any signs of damage or excessive wear.
• Check the tension of the tracks.
• Inspect the rollers, idlers, and sprockets for wear.

9. Electrical System:

• Inspect the battery for age and condition.
• Test all lights, indicators, and gauges.
• Check the condition of wiring and connectors.

10. Fluids and Lubricants:

• Check the levels of engine oil, hydraulic fluid, and coolant.
• Inspect the color and condition of these fluids.
• Look for any signs of contamination in the fluids.

11. Documentation:

• Request and review maintenance records, service history, and any available inspection reports.
• Check the serial number and verify it against the provided documentation.

12. Operational Test:

• Take the excavator for a test drive to evaluate its performance.
• Test the functionality of all components in real-world conditions.

Always consider having a qualified mechanic or a Mevas-Technician perform a thorough inspection if you are not experienced in evaluating heavy equipment. Additionally, consulting the manufacturer’s guidelines and specifications for the specific model of the excavator is essential for a comprehensive assessment.
