FAQ

Questions that help turn an equipment search into a clear purchase scope.

Can I start without choosing a model?

Yes. Start with the intended duty, required load and height, site conditions, destination, budget range and schedule. For tower cranes, include the load at the required radius; for hoists, state whether you need to carry people and materials or materials only. These details help narrow the search before comparing models.

What is ZTJ Machinery's role?

We focus on trade and sourcing for used tower cranes and construction hoists from China, with support for technical inspection and preparation coordination. We are not a manufacturer. Our background is more than ten years of domestic equipment rental in Hubei, not a claim of ten years of exports.

What should I establish about a proposed machine and supplier?

Ask for supplier and owner details, the full model, serial number, nameplate, year, current location and a component list. Dated photos, available records and any agreed inspection should refer to that specific machine. Confirm the legal seller and any exporting party before committing to a transaction.

How should I compare prices?

Compare the actual machine and complete supply scope, not the model name alone. Check included mast sections, attachments and other components, condition, preparation work and delivery basis. Category pages and manufacturer references help frame an enquiry; a quotation must identify the actual equipment and its current availability.

What can an inspection establish?

Agree the checklist, site access, machine operating state and required photo or report evidence first. A dismantled or non-operating machine may not allow functional tests. Record what was checked, findings, unchecked items and any specialist tests needed; an inspection is not a general safety certificate.

How is preparation agreed?

List repairs, replacement or missing parts, cleaning, dismantling and packing where needed. Agree who performs each item, its cost, the completion criteria and the evidence required before handover. This keeps the proposed condition and the delivered scope clear.

What needs written confirmation before payment?

Confirm the legal seller, any exporting party, equipment identity, supplied components, agreed condition, inspection and preparation scope, acceptance evidence, price, currency, payment terms, delivery basis and documents. Record responsibility for freight and destination services, and any warranty terms.

How do destination requirements affect the enquiry?

Send the destination country and port early, along with known site, power supply and documentation requirements. Ask qualified local parties to check import eligibility, required approvals and erection or commissioning requirements. The purchase scope should identify who handles transport, customs and work at the destination.
