Buying brief: Lingsheng 12170
This compact wheeled digging excavator sits in the under-8-tonne class, with an operating weight of 5700 kg. Its bucket capacity is listed as 0.23 m3 or 0.30 m3, and rated power is 42 kW or 48 kW at 2300 rpm. This size suits utility work, trenching, small foundations, landscaping and general site preparation where a tracked machine would be too slow to move between jobs. The combination of modest weight and a digging depth of 3450 mm covers many shallow to medium excavation tasks without requiring a larger carrier. The wheeled undercarriage gives this class road speed of up to 30 km/h, so travel between nearby sites is practical without a transporter.
On soft or uneven ground, stability depends on tyre condition, correct inflation and the use of outriggers or a travel lock where fitted. Steering geometry and wheel bearings affect handling and tyre wear. Buyers should weigh the need for attachments against hydraulic flow and mounting, and confirm that the machine's footprint and turning circle suit the intended yards and access routes. Inspection should start with the engine, checking for oil leaks, exhaust condition and smooth starting from cold. Hydraulic systems deserve attention: look for weeping cylinders, hose condition and unusual noise under load.
Pins and bushes on the boom, dipper and bucket linkage show wear that affects accuracy. Wheel hubs, brakes and steering components need a road test. Check the main frame and attachment welds for cracks or repairs. These checks apply to any used wheeled excavator of this size. Shipping this class usually uses a container, flat rack, RoRo or breakbulk vessel, depending on dimensions and the destination port.
The unit's real length, width and height after any folding of the boom decide whether a container fits and how much dismantling is needed. Flat racks suit machines that exceed container height or width. RoRo suits ports with roll-on facilities and a machine that can be driven aboard. Breakbulk is used when neither container nor RoRo is practical.
