Questions we are asked
Questions buyers ask us about this particular XCMG XS143J.
About the XCMG XS143J
Is the XCMG XS143J a good machine to buy used?+
Yes. The XS143J is the size most contractors actually need, and although 1,297 hours is more than some of our stock, on a roller that is still early life because the machine works at low engine load.
What kind of work is the XCMG XS143J suited to?+
Site preparation, yard bases, smaller road jobs and pipeline backfill, where a full size roller would be awkward to manoeuvre and slower to get on and off the job.
Are parts easy to find for the XCMG XS143J?+
Servicing an XS143J is simple and the parts are cheap, which matters on a roller because it is a machine you want back on the job the same day.
Are the hours on the XCMG XS143J genuine?+
The reading is 1,297 hours and we will show it to you. On a roller of this age the drum and the bearings matter more than the hour figure, so ask for pictures of those too.
Is this XCMG XS143J still available?+
Yes, it is here in Qingdao. Confirm with us first and we will tell you honestly whether anyone else is looking at it.
Price and payment
How much does the XCMG XS143J cost?+
USD 30,000 FOB Qingdao, as is. The gap between this and the 22 ton machine is small, so tell us the work and we will say which one you actually need.
Is the XCMG XS143J a cheap way to buy a used roller?+
At USD 30,000 the machine is priced against its hours rather than its age. Work out what it costs you per year over the life you expect and compare that with hiring.
How do I pay for the XCMG XS143J?+
As a China machine it is paid through Beaumont Investment Group, LLC in the United States, and everything is set out in writing before you commit.
Can you find me another XCMG XS143J if this one goes?+
Yes. We can find you another in the same class, and if you need a matching pair for a job we can look for both together.
Shipping the XCMG XS143J
How is the XCMG XS143J shipped to my country?+
A 14 ton roller normally goes on a flat rack. It is lighter than the 22 ton machine, so the freight is usually a little less as well.
How much will it cost to ship the XCMG XS143J to me?+
It depends on the destination and the sailing. Send us the port and we will price the machine and the freight together as a single landed figure.
Checking it before you buy
Can I see more photos of the XCMG XS143J?+
Yes. We can photograph the drum and the bearings, which are the parts that matter most at this hour count, and film it vibrating.
Can I inspect the XCMG XS143J before paying?+
Yes. Come to Qingdao or send an agent, and have them check the drum bearings in particular while they are there.
What else do you have if the XCMG XS143J is not right for me?+
If your layers are deep or your contract specifies a heavier machine, the 22 ton unit is the one to look at instead. Tell us the specification you are working to.
