Questions
Buying, hiring, freight and export
What does Machinery Trade sell?
Four used excavators from 15 to 35 tonnes, excavator attachments, a Case CB300 hydraulic breaker for sale or hire, and parts off a Case CX300C, all in Melbourne. We also source used machines to order for buyers in Australia and overseas.
Which excavators are for sale?
A 2018 CAT 315F L CR and a 2017 CAT 315F L (15 tonnes), a 2016 Sumitomo SH330LC-6 (33 tonnes) and a 2015 Case CX350C (35 tonnes). All four are working machines in Melbourne: each listing shows the last logged hour reading with its date and any damage history, and you can inspect by appointment. Prices are on application.
How much does it cost to hire the Case CB300 breaker?
$300 per day or $1,000 per week, with delivery quoted on distance. It suits 28–35 tonne excavators: 90 mm pins, 490 mm centre to centre, 330 mm between ears. The sale price is on application.
Why are most prices on application?
Apart from the breaker hire rate, we quote once we have confirmed the item is available and know what you need. Email the item and your machine, and we confirm availability and price together.
Can I inspect before I buy?
Yes, by appointment in Melbourne: at our storage in Mickleham, or where the excavator is working that week. Hours and serial are read off the machine at inspection, pin sizes and fit are confirmed before anything is invoiced, and parts are pulled, inspected and photographed before you pay.
Do you freight Australia-wide?
Yes. Collect from Melbourne by appointment, or we crate and freight anywhere in Australia at cost, quoted on the part.
Which Case CX300C parts are available?
The main hydraulic pump and the final drives. The engine and its fuel pump are sold. The donor machine is fire-affected, so looms, hoses, seals and trim should be assumed dead; ask for anything else and we check what is still on the machine before we answer. The CX300C shares most driveline and undercarriage parts with the Sumitomo SH300-5 and SH300-6.
How does sourcing or exporting a machine to order work?
Tell us the machine type, model range, year cut-off, maximum hours, configuration, destination and timing. We source it in Australia and price every freight leg from real invoices before anything is bought. Export goes CIF or FOB with a commercial invoice, packing declaration, certificate of origin and bill of lading. A deposit starts the search, and no price or delivery date is quoted until a specific machine is identified.
Do you give serial numbers and hour readings?
Each excavator listing shows its last logged hour reading and the date it was logged. The current reading and the serial number are given at inspection, read from the machine's meter and plate rather than from paperwork.
