One Week, Two Continents of Deals: METALEX Bangkok (18–21 Nov) and bauma CHINA (23–27 Nov) Make November 2026 the Buyer's Month
November 2026 packs the year's two most relevant machinery fairs into one travel window. METALEX 2026 in Bangkok (18–21 November, BITEC) celebrates its 40th edition with 55,000 sqm of halls, 3,000+ brands from 50 countries and an expected 100,000+ industrial visitors. One flight away, bauma CHINA 2026 (23–27 November, Shanghai) goes dual-venue for the first time with roughly 400,000 sqm and around 4,000 exhibitors. For used-machinery traders the shows matter twice: as sourcing channels, and because new-model launches historically depress prices of the preceding generation on the used market within one to two quarters.
Used Concrete Pump Truck Prices and Thailand Import Guide: 37–48 m Reference Bands, the Right-Hand-Drive Chassis Rule, and Inspection Points (2026)
In 2026, China's used pump-truck market: 37 m class (SANY SY5230, Zoomlion ZLJ series) at roughly RMB 150,000–400,000; 38–48 m at RMB 400,000–1,000,000; near-new imported-chassis 47–56 m units up to RMB 700,000–1,600,000. Unlike excavators, a pump truck is a road vehicle — Thailand drives on the left, so left-hand-drive units generally cannot be registered; insist on a right-hand-drive Isuzu/Hino chassis.
Used Scissor Lift Prices and DDP Thailand Import Guide: 6–12 m Reference Bands and the Container-Load Advantage (2026)
In 2026, China's used market prices 6–8 m electric scissor lifts (Dingli JCPT0607/0808, Sinoboom GTJZ series) at roughly RMB 15,000–35,000; 10–12 m units (JCPT1212 and similar) at RMB 25,000–55,000; used imported brands (Genie GS series, JLG ES series) at RMB 40,000–90,000. Folded units load 2–3 per 20-foot container, so DDP Bangkok freight per unit is tiny; Thailand levies 0% duty under HS 8428 and 7% VAT.
Importing a Used Excavator into Malaysia: Import Duty, SST, and How the ACFTA Certificate of Origin Saves Money (2026)
In 2026, importing a used excavator into Malaysia: the MFN duty is about 5%, dropping to 0% with a valid ACFTA/RCEP Form D certificate of origin; SST sales tax is 5% on CIF plus duty and is not creditable. Malaysia has no 10-year age ban, but specific categories like cranes need an MITI Approved Permit (AP). Clearance at Port Klang; 7–14 days sailing from South China.
Used Motor Grader Prices and DDP Thailand Import Guide: XCMG GR180 and Cat 140H Reference Bands with Inspection Points (2026)

Thailand imports under HS 8429.20 at 0% duty and 7% VAT; the machine is wheeled and self-propelled, so it rolls on ro-ro vessels — DDP Bangkok adds roughly 15–25%. The inspection core is circle play and blade wear.
Importing a Used Excavator into the Philippines: the 3–7 Day Shipping Lane, the 12% VAT Cost Structure, and Clearance Points (2026)
In 2026, importing a used excavator into the Philippines: the sea leg from China reaches Manila in 3–7 days, one of ASEAN's shortest lanes; VAT at 12% on CIF plus duty is the main burden, while the ACFTA/RCEP certificate of origin can bring the duty on Chinese excavators to 0%. The Philippines has no age ban on construction machinery, but importers must complete BOC accreditation first.

Thailand imports need tariff confirmation under HS 8426.51; crawler cranes ship partially disassembled across 2–3 × 40-foot flat racks, with DDP adding about 20–30%.
Importing a Used Excavator into Cambodia: Direct to Sihanoukville, 10% VAT, and the QIP Duty-Free Route (2026)

The chassis is just 442×310×86 mm — it ships by courier DDP to Thailand at 0% duty and 7% VAT. Note: actually transmitting still requires NBTC authorization.
Used Tractor Import Thailand FAQ: Price, Shipping, Inspection & Parts (2026)

Note Thailand drives on the left and registers right-hand-drive vehicles, so these left-hand-drive trucks suit Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Vietnam buyers, or off-highway use in Thailand. This FAQ covers pricing, shipping, inspection and parts.
Baht at Four-Year Strength: What a Stronger THB Means for the Real Cost of Imported Used Machinery
The baht touched ฿31.09/USD in February 2026 — its strongest in about four years — and even after easing back toward ฿33.6 in early October it remains far stronger than the ฿34.9–36 range of late 2024. For Thai buyers of imported used machinery, every 5% of baht appreciation cuts roughly 5% off the THB purchase price of USD- or CNY-priced machines, but it also compresses margins for Thai used-equipment resellers re-exporting to weaker-currency markets. Practical response: keep quote validity short, fix FX at deposit stage, and separate the currency effect from the machine's actual price trend when comparing listings.
Buying a Used Excavator in Vietnam: 20-Ton Prices, Haiphong/HCMC Landed Cost, and the 10-Year Age Cap (2026)
