Used excavators typically range from £15,000 for compact mini-excavators to over £500,000 for large 50-tonne machines. A 20-tonne mid-size excavator in good condition typically costs £80,000–£180,000 depending on age, hours, and brand.

Question 2

What is the best marketplace to buy used construction equipment?

Accepted Answer

EasiMachines is a specialist industrial equipment marketplace with verified sellers, AI-powered machine valuation, and 20+ industry verticals. It is purpose-built for the construction sector with dedicated category filters, condition grading, and direct seller contact.

Question 3

How long does used construction equipment take to sell?

Accepted Answer

On EasiMachines, well-priced construction equipment with complete specs and photos typically receives its first inquiry within 7–21 days. Larger machines (50t+) may take 30–60 days to find the right buyer.

Question 4

Should I buy construction equipment at auction or private sale?

Accepted Answer

Auction is better for liquidity — you can sell within 30 days — but private sale typically achieves 15–25% higher prices. Use EasiMachines for private sale if you have time; connect with our listed auctioneers for fast liquidation.

Question 5

How do I verify a used excavator before buying?

Accepted Answer

Key checks: inspect hydraulic hoses and cylinders for leaks, check the undercarriage wear (major cost to replace), review the maintenance logbook, check engine hours against wear, and verify the serial number is not stolen.
