A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.
Used 926 inspection priorities
- Check centre articulation, steering cylinders, oscillation points and driveline play.
- Inspect matched tires and load the lift, tilt and coupler hydraulics.
- Verify payload, ride-control and technology systems only when installed.
- Match the 926 model plate, fitted attachment and undercarriage to the cited reference configuration.
Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.
Hours, condition and ownership cost
Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.
Cost drivers to model
- Tires, fuel, bucket wear and cycle duty dominate many loader cost profiles.
- High-lift arms, couplers and application packages change repair exposure.
- Payload planning must use material density and the fitted bucket.
Compatibility graph
Attachment considerations
Relationships below identify relevant classes only unless a stronger evidence state is shown. They never assert exact used-attachment fitment.
Loader buckets, forks and grapples
Verify coupler interface, attachment weight, load centre, hydraulics.
Open attachment researchBefore confirming fitment
- generation and machine configuration
- mounting interface, coupler or pin geometry
- hydraulic flow, pressure, return and case drain
- attachment weight and machine capacity limits
- electrical controls or required machine options
Model-reference transport profile
Transport reference
Reference measurements retain their configuration and verification status. Confirm the actual transport setup before booking.
Reference specifications can differ from the actual configured machine. Confirm dimensions and weight before booking transportation.
Confirm or replace before a transport request
- actual weight
- actual travel length, width and height
- attachments and removable work tools
- bucket, blade, carriage or boom position
- loading condition
