Inspection Service

No container leaves a yard without our eyes on it.

Every machine we ship is physically inspected at origin by a Patathon-trained engineer — not a third-party agent we've never met. You get photos, video and a written report before any final payment moves.

WHAT EVERY INSPECTION COVERS

A full mechanical sign-off, not a glance.

Engine & hydraulics

Compression, oil pressure, hydraulic cycle times and leak inspection — recorded on video.

Structure & undercarriage

Boom, arm, frame, tracks, cylinders and pins checked for wear, cracks and prior repairs.

Cold-start video

We start the machine cold, idle it, work it and capture the full sequence so you see exactly what you're buying.

Hours & VIN verification

We physically read meter hours and match VIN/serials against the supplier's documents.
