Mini Excavator with Attachments: Package Buying Guide
Qisheng Machinery · Updated October 16, 2026
Quick Answer
When buying a mini excavator with attachments, specify the exact machine and every tool as one order, then confirm the parts needed to connect and operate each tool. A package advertised as “five attachments” may count a quick hitch, loose pins and buckets differently from another supplier's offer.
The useful comparison is a documented working package: named components, quantities, compatible interfaces, installation scope and inspection evidence. This guide focuses on turning an attachment selection into a checkable order and receiving record.
Convert the Package Photo into an Order Schedule
A photograph can show the proposed tools but rarely identifies their sizes or everything included. Give each line an item number and retain that number in the quotation, inspection video and packing list. If you are still deciding what to add, the accessory and factory-option guide separates standard equipment from extras.
| Order line | Specify in writing | Evidence to obtain before dispatch |
|---|---|---|
| Machine | Model, engine, operator station and factory options | Machine identification and configuration photos |
| Digging bucket | Quantity, width, tooth arrangement and mounting | Bucket identification and installation on the ordered machine |
| Additional bucket | Purpose, width, capacity basis and empty mass | Dimensions and a photo of the actual supplied item |
| Quick hitch, if ordered | Interface, model, locking system and included hardware | Correct installation and locking check under its instructions |
| Powered attachment, if ordered | Model, size and hydraulic operating requirements | Confirmed carrier match and an appropriate function demonstration |
| Connection parts | Brackets, pins, hoses, connectors and any required circuit | Itemized parts record, identifying fitted and loose components |
| Service items | Part references and quantities | Labeled filters, teeth, seals or other ordered spares |
Do not assume “installation included” means every attachment arrives fitted. A breaker may travel separately from the carrier, while a bucket or hitch is installed for the demonstration. The receiving record should say what must be connected after unpacking and which instructions apply.
Use Real Dimensions to Identify the Bucket Supplied
Qisheng's v9 catalogue lists a 400 mm bucket width for the QS-12 and QS-18 series, and 420 mm for the QS-25 series. These figures identify the listed catalogue configurations. They do not establish the width of an optional grading bucket, the capacity of any bucket, or a guaranteed package inclusion.
For example, a QS-18 offer described only as “standard bucket plus grading bucket” still needs two identified order lines. Record the digging bucket width and obtain the grading bucket's width, empty mass and approved mounting. A photo of two buckets is not enough to check the shipment later.
The bucket width and capacity guide explains how to select the tool. This order schedule records the particular tool you agreed to receive.
Resolve Missing Connection Parts Before Paying the Balance
For a mechanical bucket, confirm the arm or hitch interface and the required pins and retainers. For a hydraulic tool, also identify the supply and return connections, any additional drain requirement, hose routing and control arrangement. Ask whether the necessary machine circuit is part of the quoted configuration.
Bobcat's carrier-matching guidance shows why breaker selection includes flow and pressure as well as the carrier and mounting. Do not use another brand's specifications as evidence that a QS package is compatible.
A no-load video can show that a function operates. It does not, by itself, prove rated digging performance, continuous-duty suitability or lifting capacity. Request evidence appropriate to the claim instead of treating one demonstration as a test of everything.
For Qisheng orders, the stated standard payment arrangement is T/T: 30% deposit and 70% before shipment. Define the inspection and discrepancy-resolution arrangements before the deposit. Confirm what evidence you will review before the balance is due rather than assuming an inspection service is automatically included.
Keep the Quote and Packing List Consistent
The quotation should distinguish equipment price from packing, freight and the agreed delivery scope. A second bucket, hammer or box of spares can change the packing arrangement. Do not use a machine's overall dimensions as the dimensions of the complete packed package.
At dispatch, match the order-line numbers to the packing list. Identify separately packed attachments and connection parts, and ask for photos showing their labels before the crates close. Final packed dimensions and weights belong to the actual shipment record; they should not be guessed from catalogue photos.
For a U.S. delivered order, state the agreed delivery point and what the DDP total covers. For a European port shipment, record the preferred destination port and the destination charges outside the quoted scope. The quote comparison guide covers these delivery distinctions in more detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a quick hitch counted as an attachment?
Suppliers may count packages differently. Compare named order lines and quantities rather than the advertised attachment count.
Can all the tools be fitted for shipping?
That depends on the packing arrangement. Confirm which item arrives installed, which travels separately and what installation is required at receipt.
What if a hose or bracket is missing?
Record it against the agreed order line and ask for the resolution before dispatch where possible. The package schedule makes a discrepancy easier to identify than a general “attachments included” description.
Model and Inspection References
Check the selected QS-18 machine configuration or QS-25 configuration, then use the nine-point factory inspection guide to organize the machine evidence.
