BEFORE YOU BUY / BUYING GUIDE
If you buy a used skid steer loader,
check these four points first.
The price of a used skid steer loader depends mainly on the year, operating hours, and the condition of that specific machine. The reference prices, checklist, and FAQ in this section help you narrow your search before requesting quotations and ask the seller for the correct information.
| Model | Condition and origin | Rated operating load | Reference FOB price |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAT 236D Skid Steer Loader | Used · other brand | 680 – 1,000 kg | US$26,800 |
| YUYAN WM312 Skid Steer Loader | New, manufactured by YUYAN | 1,200 kg | Request quote |
Reference price for the used unit corresponds to a representative model; once we identify a specific machine, we will quote in writing according to its year, hours and condition. The new YUYAN YM312 is shown for same-class comparison.
What to check when selecting and verifying
Begin with the rated operating load
When comparing models, look first at the rated operating load, not the machine’s operating weight. According to Caterpillar official data, the CAT 236D has a rated operating load of 818 kg, about half of its tipping load of 1,633 kg; tracked models are rated at 35% of tipping load, so the two cannot be compared directly. Compare the weight of the material, pallets or attachment you will handle against that figure, then choose the machine size.
Hours together with wear
The hour meter may have been replaced or damaged. Compare the hours with lift-arm pin play, the bucket cutting edge, tires or tracks and cabin pedal wear; if they don’t match, ask the seller for an explanation.
Auxiliary hydraulics and attachments
Confirm whether the auxiliary hydraulics are standard flow or high flow, what type of quick coupler it has, and whether it is compatible with the breaker, sweeper or pallet forks you plan to use.
Confirm import regulations first
Some countries have additional requirements for used machinery: Colombia may require a prior import license, and Chile charges a surcharge on used machinery when its import is authorized. Confirm with your customs broker before placing an order.
What to request from the seller
- Clear photos of the machine nameplate or PIN and of the engine number
- Photo of the hourmeter reading and a cold-start video
- Continuous video of the lift arms’ full travel, bucket roll, and travel movement
- Close photos of the lift-arm pins, quick-attach plate, cylinders, and hydraulic hoses
- Photos of the tires or tracks and of any leaks at the drivetrain
- Cab rollover-protection plate, seat safety bar, and lift-arm support rod
Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours is too many on a used skid-steer?
There is no single threshold. Two machines with the same hours can be in very different condition: judge by maintenance history, pin wear, hydraulic leaks and the operating video, not by the hourmeter alone.
Wheels or tracks?
On firm ground and sites with frequent moves, wheeled machines are more common and tire replacement costs less; on soft, muddy or sloped ground, tracked machines provide better traction and lower ground pressure, though track and undercarriage wear costs are higher.
What does the reference price include?
The page price is a reference FOB price — delivered at the loading port in China. It does not include sea freight, insurance, destination-country taxes, or inland transport. Not a final quotation: the price of each machine is confirmed by written offer.
Can I see a video before deciding?
Yes. When we identify a specific unit, we will send you photos and a running video of that machine. You can also arrange an on-site or third-party inspection; location, timing and cost to be confirmed.
