Operating range
Relate weight, reach and digging geometry to the contracts and sites the business actually expects to serve.
Machinery considered individually
Choose an excavator for the work, not weight class alone.
Apply to Release.fi for long-term machinery leasing for a new or used excavator used by your business. Each request is assessed individually. Start with make and model; the work, equipment and condition help explain the investment.
WorkConditionUseful lifePreparation
Asset context
Hours need a work and service history
A used excavator's meter reading becomes useful when it is connected with workload, maintenance and current condition.
- Compare recorded hours with service entries, component repairs and the type of work previously performed.
- Check play, leakage, undercarriage wear, boom structure and controls in a machine-specific inspection.
- Identify attachments and systems that materially affect the transaction value and planned contracts.
Key considerations
Four decisions before comparing listings
Undercarriage
Record whether tracks or wheels, ground conditions, road transfers and transport arrangements suit the planned work.
Hydraulics and attachments
Confirm auxiliary circuits, coupler, buckets and specialist attachments included in the proposed purchase.
Transportability
Consider machine width, weight, permits and the low-loader or other transport capacity already available.

Practical questions
Questions a listing may not answer
Can a mini excavator be submitted?
Yes. Describe its business use, configuration and transaction for an individual assessment.
Is the hour reading enough to assess condition?
No. Work history, servicing, repairs and a physical inspection give the figure its context.
Must every attachment be listed?
List attachments included in the price and those essential to the planned contracts.
Is your machine not listed?
The directory is not exhaustive. Briefly describe the machine and proposed purchase in the request.
