View QS-12 specificationsQisheng Machinery · Export sourcing
Qisheng Machinery supplies mini excavators to dealers and individual buyers in the United States and Europe. Compare the QS-12, QS-18 and QS-25, choose your engine and attachments, and request a quotation for your destination. Orders start from one machine.
For a dealer quotation, send your country, delivery address or preferred port, models and quantities. If you are buying for your own farm, describe the work and access conditions so we can help you shortlist a machine.

Find your starting point
Start with access width and digging depth, then compare engine options, controls and attachments. These four models offer different starting points for a compact excavator purchase.

Specify the job, not just the tonnage
A small excavator for sale can look suitable in a photograph but still be the wrong fit for your work. Send us the access measurements and tasks that matter before choosing a model.
Auxiliary hydraulic flow, pressure, mounting dimensions and machine stability must be checked before specifying a breaker, auger or other powered attachment.
A clear purchasing conversation
From a single-machine order to a dealer container enquiry, confirm the equipment, destination, payment and production schedule before placing your order.
Send your destination, quantity and preferred model. If you have not chosen a model, tell us the main tasks, narrowest access width and required digging depth.
Agree the engine, operator station, tracks, attachments and destination requirements. For U.S. dealer orders, request a DDP total to your delivery address. For European port shipments, provide your preferred receiving port and check the available LCL arrangement.
Our standard payment terms are T/T bank transfer: 30% deposit and the remaining 70% before shipment. The order confirmation identifies the selected equipment, delivery basis and agreed timing.
Factory production and testing usually take about seven days after the deposit is received. Confirm the schedule for your configuration when ordering. This is production time; dispatch arrangements, ocean transit and local delivery take additional time. The remaining 70% is due before shipment.
For a detailed import checklist, see our guide to buying a mini excavator from China. This page is for model selection and enquiries, not a promise that one configuration meets every country’s import requirements.
Look beyond the specification table
Use the video to inspect the machine layout, operator area and working equipment. For an order, ask for current photos and a demonstration of the exact model and configuration being quoted.
The video is reused from our QS-18 product page. Visual features alone do not establish operating weight, lifting capacity, emissions approval or the equipment included in a quotation.

For a mini excavator from China, useful purchase evidence is specific to the order: the engine identification, machine specification sheet, current photos, inspection scope and applicable export documents. Ask to review these rather than relying on a general certification badge.

These are planning references for same-class machines. Final loading depends on the exact configuration, packing, attachments, total load and approved loading plan. Ask for a loading proposal for mixed-model orders. Tonnage class is a model designation, not a verified shipping weight.

Before you enquire
Yes. The minimum order is one machine. We also quote multi-unit and container orders for dealers. Send the models, quantities and destination so we can confirm the configuration and shipping proposal.
Send your model or intended use, quantity, destination and required attachments. Tell us whether you need a port quotation, a U.S. dealer DDP quotation or a warehouse supply option. The price is confirmed for the selected engine, configuration and delivery arrangement. See our mini excavator price guide for the main quotation variables.
Our standard terms are T/T bank transfer, with a 30% deposit and the remaining 70% paid before shipment. The payment schedule is included in the order confirmation.
Production and testing normally take about seven days after receipt of the deposit. Confirm timing for your chosen configuration and quantity before ordering. Shipping and delivery time are separate from production time.
Yes. U.S. dealers can request DDP delivery to an agreed address. Qisheng arranges shipping and import clearance and covers the applicable import duties and taxes under the agreed DDP terms. Send your delivery address, ZIP code, models and quantities for a total delivered quotation. Delivery access, unloading arrangements and quote validity are confirmed with the offer.
We can arrange LCL shipments to European ports, including ocean-freight-waived options on eligible routes. Tell us which port is convenient for you. The quotation confirms route eligibility and the treatment of port charges, customs clearance, duties, taxes and onward transport. An ocean-freight waiver does not mean all destination costs or home delivery are free.
We offer warehouse supply options for individual buyers through Chicago and Los Angeles in the United States and a warehouse in Germany. Send your location and preferred model so we can check current availability, price, and collection or local delivery arrangements.
Qisheng Machinery is based in Yantai, Shandong, China. Contact David Zheng with your model requirements and destination. Warehouse supply and international shipping arrangements are confirmed for each quotation.
Options depend on the model and destination requirements. Tell us the preferred engine and the tasks for each attachment. We will need to confirm the available configuration and compatibility; an option shown on another model is not automatically included.
This must be checked for the exact machine, engine and destination. Specify your country and request the relevant identification and documents before ordering. Verify local import and operating requirements with your customs broker or relevant authority; a general CE, EPA or Euro V statement is not proof for every configuration.
Ask which parts can be supplied for your engine and machine, how parts are identified, what documentation is available and who is responsible for labour, freight and warranty claims. Include any essential spare parts in the quotation and confirm the written terms before payment.
Start with a useful enquiry
Tell us your destination, quantity and model or intended work. For a U.S. dealer DDP quotation, include the delivery address and ZIP code. For European port shipping, tell us your preferred receiving port.

For landscaping enquiries, measure the complete access route and describe the regular excavation and cleanup work. For farm enquiries, include trench dimensions, ground conditions and any drilling or drainage-maintenance requirements.

The QS model directory provides the existing model pages. Use the width guide and digging-depth guide when preparing measurements, then send the model, engine, operator station, track arrangement and attachments you want quoted.
If you need the current catalog or a particular model sheet, include that request with your enquiry. For a port quotation, provide the destination country and convenient receiving port. For a U.S. dealer DDP quotation, provide the delivery address and ZIP code for a tax-inclusive total. Confirm the equipment, delivery basis and included services in the offer.
