What a used crawler excavator check has to bind before money moves
Same-model machines are not the same configuration. Hours, undercarriage wear, boom welds, hydraulic leak-down, and remaining track life can split two units that share a brochure. Payment should wait until serial number, nameplate, hour meter, and dated media point at one machine, and a written record states which systems were opened.
If a unit fails a check, list open items and agree the correction path before the balance payment. The report only states checks performed and findings. It does not say the machine is defect-free or that destination emission rules are already satisfied.
What is checked
Engine, hydraulics, electrical system, structure, undercarriage and operating functions, plus hour meter versus serial identity.
Against what
The signed specification and configuration list for this exact model, including auxiliary circuit and coupler hardware actually fitted.
What the report says
Only the checks actually performed and what was found, with dated photographs tied to the same serial.
Factory test conditions, grid frequency, and ambient temperature are not your jobsite. A cold idle on a shop floor does not prove digging depth, breakout force, or hammer circuit stability at altitude. Track shoe width, remaining undercarriage life, and boom weld records belong in the same pack as the hour meter. If the seller will not bind serial, dated photos, and a written check list to one unit, treat the price as a brochure number, not a comparable quotation. Use the procurement checklist, then inquiry options or the requirement form.
