Hydraulic Breaker Export Quote Checklist
What buyers should send before LICHI quotes breaker model, bracket fitment, packing, shipment route, spare parts bundle and OEM branding.
All buyer guides
Use One Complete Request Instead of a Long Email Chain
A hydraulic breaker export quote has three layers: technical fitment, commercial configuration and shipping basis. A price sent before those layers are clear is only a rough reference. Use this checklist to give the supplier enough information to identify the breaker, bracket, tool, spare parts, packing and freight basis.
Use the Public LC Model Name on Every Document
LICHI public breaker model names follow chisel diameter: LC-68 is the 68 mm class, LC-140 is the 140 mm class and LC-200 is the 200 mm class. Record the same public model on the quotation, proforma invoice, packing list, nameplate approval and spare-parts list.
The public model is an identifier, not final fitment approval. The quote must still state the body type, carrier model, hydraulic data, bracket basis and any unresolved technical item. LC-200F must also retain its reinforced-configuration suffix so it is not confused with LC-200.
1. Buyer and Delivery Information
- Buyer company, country and contact person.
- Required quantity and whether the order is for an end user, fleet or dealer stock.
- Destination country, destination port and final delivery city if inland transport is requested.
- Preferred trade term, such as EXW, FOB or CIF, to be confirmed in the quotation.
- Target order date and requested delivery date.
Sea freight cannot be confirmed from the country name alone. Port, quantity, packing size and shipment method affect the freight basis.
2. Carrier and Hydraulic Data
| Required field | Example format | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Carrier brand and full model | Manufacturer + complete model code | Identifies the machine configuration and manual. |
| Operating weight | Metric tonnes | Creates the preliminary breaker range. |
| Auxiliary oil flow | L/min | Must match the breaker operating range. |
| Working pressure | bar | Required for hydraulic compatibility. |
| Relief pressure | bar | Shows whether the circuit setting needs review. |
| Coupler or bracket data | Type, photos and dimensions | Prevents a hydraulically suitable breaker from arriving with the wrong mount. |
| Machine and nameplate photos | Clear front and close-up images | Supports model and connection verification. |
If flow or pressure is unknown, attach the auxiliary hydraulic page from the carrier manual. Mark the quote as pending until the missing value is confirmed.
3. Worksite and Breaker Configuration
- Material: concrete, reinforced concrete, asphalt, trench material, secondary rock or another confirmed material.
- Application: demolition, road repair, trenching, quarry, foundation, pile breaking or another job.
- Expected working pattern: intermittent work, regular daily work or dealer stock.
- Preferred body: triangular, silent/box, tower/top or concentric/solid-body.
- Required chisel shape and tool diameter, if already specified.
- Site restrictions, including noise, access, dust or overhead clearance.
- Worksite photos or a short video.
Do not choose the final breaker from body style or excavator tonnage alone. Read the breaker-to-excavator matching guide before approving the model.
Separate Product Price From Landed-Cost Inputs
A useful export quote does not hide different cost layers inside one number. Separate the breaker and accessories from packing, inland delivery, international freight, insurance and destination charges. This makes supplier comparisons possible and prevents a low equipment price from being mistaken for a complete landed price.
| Cost layer | What the quote should identify | Buyer check |
|---|---|---|
| Breaker configuration | Public LC model, body type, chisel diameter and included tool | Matches the approved carrier record |
| Mounting and connections | Bracket or coupler basis, hoses and fittings | Dimensions and connection photos are attached |
| Spare parts | Part description, matched model and quantity as separate lines | No generic or unverified compatibility |
| OEM work | Color, logo, decals, nameplate, documents and approvals | Scope is defined before production |
| Packing | Case or pallet method, packed quantity and marking | Suitable for the intended transport route |
| Trade term | Named place or port and the selected Incoterms® rule | Cost and risk boundaries are understood |
| Freight and destination | Included or excluded transport and destination charges | Quote validity and route assumptions are current |
4. Bracket, Hose and Connection Requirements
- Direct pin mount or quick coupler.
- Pin diameter, pin-center distance and inside width where required.
- Hose length, diameter, fitting type and connection photos.
- Whether hoses and fittings should be included in the shipment.
- Whether the carrier has an existing breaker line and return line.
Dimensions should come from the carrier record, coupler drawing or measured machine. A single attachment photo is not enough for final bracket production.
5. Spare Parts and Support Files
- Additional chisels and requested tool shapes.
- Model-matched seal kit.
- Hoses, fittings, through-bolts, shell bolts, bushings and retaining pins.
- Dealer or fleet stocking requirement by breaker model.
- Catalog, model sheet, maintenance guide or other agreed service files.
Ask for the breaker and parts as separate quotation lines. This makes the first-shipment cost easier to review and reduces the risk of ordering parts that do not match the selected breaker.
Use the component-specific guides when the request needs more evidence: seal-kit identification, piston inspection and ordering, bushing wear records and hose and fitting identification.
6. OEM, Nameplate and Packing
- Paint color and an agreed color reference.
- Logo file in a production-ready format.
- Decal position and language.
- Nameplate content and buyer approval requirement.
- Outer packing labels and document language.
- Plywood case, pallet or other packing request.
- Any country-specific customs or packing requirement supplied by the buyer.
OEM scope, packing method and lead time must be written into the final quotation. Do not assume that a logo request automatically includes nameplate, carton, manual and spare-parts branding.
7. Commercial Items the Quote Must State
- Breaker model, body type and tool diameter.
- Included bracket, hoses, fittings, chisels and standard accessories.
- Spare parts as separate line items.
- Unit price, quantity, currency and trade term.
- Tax basis where relevant.
- Packing method, estimated packed quantity and confirmed shipping basis.
- Production or preparation lead time after technical and payment confirmation.
- Payment terms and quotation validity.
- Warranty boundary and normal-wear exclusions.
- Technical fields still waiting for confirmation.
Documents to Approve Before Production Release
Do not treat the proforma invoice as the only production document. A complete order record should keep the technical selection, mounting data, OEM artwork and commercial terms together. If one controlled item changes, issue a revised record instead of correcting it only in a chat message.
- Technical selection sheet: carrier, hydraulics, application, LC model, body type and chisel.
- Bracket or coupler drawing: dimensions, pin arrangement and drawing revision.
- Hose and fitting record: circuit route, lengths, connection types and included quantity.
- OEM approval: color reference, logo file, decal position, nameplate fields and document language.
- Packing basis: case or pallet method, labels, packed units and requested shipping marks.
- Commercial confirmation: price lines, currency, Incoterms® rule with named place, payment, validity and lead-time basis.
Keep the final approved files with the machine record after delivery. They become the fastest evidence for future brackets, hoses, first-order spare parts and replacement tools.
How to Compare Two Supplier Quotations
Do not compare only the last price line. First normalize both quotations to the same technical and commercial scope. A quote for an LC-140 silent breaker with bracket, hoses, two tools, spare parts and plywood packing cannot be compared directly with a bare breaker quoted under a different trade term.
| Comparison point | Acceptable evidence | Red flag |
|---|---|---|
| Technical match | Carrier and hydraulic inputs recorded against the proposed LC model | Model selected from tonnage or a photo only |
| Included scope | Bracket, hoses, fittings, tools and accessories listed | “Standard accessories” without a written list |
| Parts match | Spare parts tied to the public model and revision evidence | Generic bundle with no matching basis |
| OEM scope | Approved files, colors, labels and nameplate fields | Logo request assumed to cover every branded item |
| Packing and freight | Packing method, named place or port and included transport | One freight figure with no route or validity |
| Exceptions | Pending inputs and exclusions written clearly | Verbal promise absent from the quotation |
Common Causes of a Misleading Low Quote
- The proposed breaker is a different diameter class, body type or configuration.
- The bracket, coupler, hoses, fittings or working tools are excluded.
- The spare-parts list is absent or contains unverified generic items.
- OEM color, decals, nameplate work or approval samples are not included.
- Packing, inland delivery, freight, insurance or destination charges use a different basis.
- The lead time begins only after technical drawings, artwork or payment are approved, but that condition is not visible.
A lower price may still be valid, but only after the technical scope and delivery basis are equal. Ask the supplier to revise the quotation instead of calculating the missing items from assumptions.
Change-Control Checklist After the Quote Is Issued
Carrier, coupler, destination and OEM changes can affect more than one line. When any controlled input changes, request a revised quotation or annex and confirm the revision date. Do not rely on an isolated chat approval.
- Mark the changed input and identify which technical or commercial lines it affects.
- Replace superseded drawings and artwork with a clearly dated revision.
- Reconfirm price, packing, lead-time basis and shipment route where relevant.
- Keep the previous version for traceability, but mark it as superseded.
- Release production only after the responsible buyer and supplier contacts acknowledge the same final revision.

Before You Approve the Proforma Invoice
- Check that the quoted carrier data matches the intended machine.
- Confirm the breaker model, body type and tool diameter.
- Confirm bracket or coupler dimensions and hose connections.
- Check every included accessory and spare-parts quantity.
- Review packing, destination port and trade term.
- Confirm unresolved technical fields in writing.
- Keep the approved specification, quote and packing list in the machine record.
Trade-Term Boundary
Incoterms® rules divide delivery obligations, costs and risk, but the three-letter rule is incomplete without a named place or port. The International Chamber of Commerce notes that EXW is primarily suitable for domestic trade, while FOB and CIF are maritime rules with different carriage and insurance responsibilities. Ask the freight forwarder or trade adviser to confirm the rule for the actual route.
This page is a quotation-preparation checklist, not customs, tax or legal advice. Import clearance, duties, product documentation and destination requirements must be checked for the buyer’s country and shipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can LICHI quote from an excavator model only?
A preliminary range may be possible, but final approval also needs oil flow, pressure and mounting information.
Why is destination port required?
Port, quantity and packing determine the shipment basis. A country name alone is not enough to verify sea freight.
Should spare parts be on the same quotation?
They can be included as separate lines in the same quotation. Review the model-matched spare parts directory before choosing the bundle.
Does a website price include freight and tax?
Do not assume so. The final quotation must state currency, tax basis, packing, trade term and whether freight is included.
What causes the longest quote delay?
Missing hydraulic values, unclear mounting dimensions, no destination port and an undefined OEM scope usually create repeated clarification.
