Looking for a mini excavator for sale? You are most likely weighing up three things at once: the machine itself, the total landed cost, and whether the supplier can genuinely deliver on time and support the machine afterwards. This page sets out the TUSKO compact excavator range from 1 ton to 8 ton, the price levels to expect, and exactly how we ship to your port.
TUSKO is a manufacturer rather than a trading company. Our compact excavators are built in Linyi, Shandong Province, using Kubota diesel engines, Hengli hydraulic components and our own fabricated boom, arm, chassis and cab structures. Because we control fabrication, assembly, painting and pre-delivery inspection in one place, we can also control the two things buyers care about most: consistency and delivery date.
Buying directly from the factory removes at least one layer of importer or dealer margin, and it gives you a direct line to the people who actually build the machine. When you need a special colour, a different bucket set, a specific mast or an unusual attachment combination, we adjust the build sheet instead of telling you it is not available.
The table below summarises the compact models we build most often, with their operating weight, engine and maximum digging depth. Because every machine is built to order, configuration, options, quantity and destination all influence the delivered cost, so we do not publish fixed prices - we quote your exact specification instead. Machines are available with canopy or enclosed air-conditioned cab, rubber or steel tracks, and a full range of buckets and attachments.

| TK10 | 1,000 kg | Kubota D722 | 1,800 mm |
| TK17 | 1,800 kg | Kubota D902 | 2,270 mm |
| TK18 | 1,850 kg | Kubota D902 | 2,350 mm |
| TK25 | 2,500 kg | Kubota V1505 | 2,700 mm |

| TK60 | 6,000 kg | 4-cyl diesel, 40 kW | 3,800 mm |
| TK80 | 8,000 kg | 4-cyl diesel, 55 kW | 4,200 mm |
| TK100 | 10,000 kg | 4-cyl diesel, 67 kW | 5,000 mm |
A compact excavator is configured rather than picked off a shelf. Cab or canopy, track type, bucket set, hydraulic circuits and attachments all change what the machine costs to build, and freight and destination change the delivered figure. Send us your requirement and we will return a firm quotation listing the exact configuration, Incoterm, port of loading, lead time and validity period.
A compact excavator is a machine you will own for years, so a few minutes of due diligence stops expensive mistakes. These are the points our own export customers ask about most often:
Compact excavators are shipped from Qingdao or Tianjin, normally FOB, or CIF to your nearest port if you prefer us to arrange the ocean freight and insurance. Container loading is planned per order: the number of units per 20 ft or 40 ft container depends on arm and track options, cab choice and how many buckets or attachments travel with each machine.
Standard lead time is 20 to 30 days from order confirmation. Machines needing custom paint, a different cab or a specific attachment package take around 35 to 45 days. Payment is normally 30% T/T deposit with the balance before shipment, and L/C at sight is accepted for larger orders. Every shipment includes commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and the relevant conformity certificates.
We have built excavators and construction equipment for more than fifteen years, with in-house fabrication, assembly and inspection.
Our machines work in Europe, Russia, Africa, South America, the Middle East and South East Asia, with parts support to match.
CE and ISO 9001:2015 documentation, English manuals, and pre-shipment inspection arranged on request.
We do not publish fixed prices, because every machine is configured to the buyer's market: cab or canopy, track type, bucket set, hydraulic circuits, attachments, quantity and destination all affect the delivered cost. Tell us the specification you need and our export team will return a firm quotation with lead time and a container loading plan, usually within one working day.
Yes. Our minimum order quantity is one unit for almost every market. We regularly ship single machines to small contractors, farms and rental startups, and we treat a one-unit order exactly like a container order in terms of inspection and documentation.
We export to more than fifty countries across Europe, Russia and Central Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America and South East Asia. Send us your destination port and we will confirm the shipping route, estimated transit time and whether CIF or FOB works out cheaper for you.
Under FOB, our price covers the machine delivered to the port of loading, and you arrange and pay for ocean freight and insurance. Under CIF, we arrange and pay for shipping and insurance to your port, so you receive one all-in figure. Many first-time importers prefer CIF because it removes the logistics work.
Absolutely. We welcome customer visits to our Linyi facility, where you can see fabrication, assembly, hydraulic testing and pre-delivery inspection. If travel is difficult, we can arrange a live video walkthrough of the machine you intend to buy before it is packed.
Every machine on this page is new, built to order. We do not sell refurbished units as new. If you specifically want a used or trade-in machine for budget reasons, tell us and we will be honest about what is available rather than substituting quietly.
Tell us your machine, quantity and destination port and our export team will send firm pricing, a container loading plan and lead time, normally within one working day.
