Questions we are asked
What road and earthworks contractors ask us before they order.
Graders
Where can I buy a used motor grader?+
From our Qingdao yard, with the price and the hours on the page. We hold a Caterpillar 140H now and source other sizes to order.
How much does a used motor grader cost?+
Ours is USD 32,000 FOB Qingdao with 260 hours. Price moves mainly with hours and blade width, and machines at this hour count are uncommon.
How much is a used Caterpillar 140H?+
USD 32,000 as it stands in Qingdao, with 260 hours and a Cat engine. For the grader that most road contractors already know how to run, that is a strong figure.
Where can I buy a cheap grader for road work?+
China, and from the yard that owns the machine. Graders bought through a dealer carry a heavy margin because they are specialist equipment.
Are parts easy to find for a Cat grader?+
Yes. Blade edges, circle components and filters for the 140 are stocked by independent suppliers as well as Caterpillar dealers, almost everywhere roads are built.
Dozers
Where can I buy a used bulldozer?+
Through us, sourced to order. Dozers come through our network constantly, so tell us the class you want and we will go and look.
How much does a used dozer cost?+
It depends heavily on the size and the hours, and the range is wide. Give us the class and the hour ceiling you can accept and we will come back with real options.
Can you supply a Caterpillar D6 or D7?+
Yes. Both classes are regularly available to us, along with Komatsu and Shantui equivalents if you would rather spend less.
Can you source a dozer to order?+
Yes, and that is how most dozers are bought. Tell us the size, the year range and the maximum hours you will accept.
Choosing and buying
Do I need a grader or a dozer for my job?+
A dozer pushes and opens ground. A grader levels and finishes it. Clearing and stripping is dozer work, shaping and cutting to level is grader work.
What machines do I need to build a road?+
Typically an excavator, a dozer, a grader and a roller, with tippers to haul. Tell us the length and the specification and we will tell you what the job actually needs.
Can you supply a grader and a roller together?+
Yes, and they belong together on a road job. Buying them in one shipment reduces the freight per machine and gives you one clearance.
Where can I buy machines for a road contract?+
From us, in one order. Equipping a contract rather than selling a single machine is normal work for us and it usually improves the price.
How much does it cost to ship a grader?+
Graders are long, which affects how they are loaded and priced, so they are quoted individually. Give us your port and we will price it against the actual sailing.
Can I inspect a grader before I pay?+
Yes. Come to Qingdao or appoint an inspector, and ask them to run the blade through its full range rather than only look at the machine.
