The final product may differ from the pictures.
Boom Swing (YFE18)
280,46 € incl. VAT
The boom swing function allows the boom to pivot left or right independently from the upper structure of the excavator. This feature is especially useful in confined spaces, such as working next to walls or trenches, where straight digging is not possible. It enables the operator to dig alongside the machine without repositioning, increasing efficiency and versatility in tight job sites.
Cabin (YFE18)
560,92 € incl. VAT
The optional enclosed cabin provides enhanced operator comfort and protection in all weather conditions. Please refer to the excavator's technical specifications for further details.
Extendable undercarriage (YFE18)
411,34 € incl. VAT
An extendable undercarriage allows the track width of the excavator to be hydraulically adjusted. When retracted, the machine is narrower for easier access through tight spaces and transport. When extended, it provides increased stability during digging operations, especially on uneven terrain.
Hydraulic oil cooler (YFE18)
61,70 € incl. VAT
The hydraulic oil cooler helps maintain optimal operating temperatures in the mini excavator's hydraulic system. By dissipating excess heat, it prevents overheating, which can cause damage to seals, pumps, and valves. This improves system efficiency, prolongs component lifespan, and ensures consistent machine performance, especially during continuous or heavy-duty operations.
Hydraulic Thumb (YFE18)
93,49 € incl. VAT
A hydraulic thumb is an additional articulated arm mounted on the excavator boom, working in conjunction with the bucket. It is operated by a hydraulic cylinder and allows the operator to grip, hold, and manipulate irregularly shaped objects like rocks, logs, or debris. The hydraulic thumb significantly enhances material handling capabilities and versatility, especially in demolition, landscaping, and utility work.
Quick connectors for AUX hydraulics (YFE18)
67,31 € incl. VAT
Quick couplers are fast-connect fittings installed at the ends of the excavator’s auxiliary hydraulic hoses. They allow for quick and tool-free attachment and detachment of hydraulic-powered attachments, such as augers, breakers, and grapples. These couplers improve operational efficiency, minimize downtime, and reduce the risk of fluid leaks when switching tools.

Ordering and Payment
Products are generally made to order by our manufacturing partners in China according to the customer’s selected configuration and confirmed technical specifications.
The order is paid in full in advance unless otherwise agreed in writing. North Global Oy coordinates the order process with the manufacturer.
International payments may take several banking days due to banking procedures, currency transfers, public holidays, payment intermediaries, or regulatory checks. The manufacturing period begins when the manufacturer has confirmed receipt of the funds required to begin production and North Global Oy has received the information necessary to process the order.
Manufacturing and Delivery Time
Products and machines are generally made to order.
Typical manufacturing time is approximately 10–25 business days, followed by approximately 60–75 business days for international delivery.
The estimated total manufacturing and delivery time is generally 70–100 business days.
Delivery times are estimates. Actual delivery times may be affected by the manufacturer’s production schedule, shipping route, customs procedures, port operations, weather conditions, and other factors affecting international transportation.
Delivery and Transportation
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, deliveries are arranged under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) Incoterms 2020. Other Incoterms may be agreed separately.
Under a typical DDP delivery, North Global Oy coordinates international transportation, freight forwarding, required shipping documentation, customs arrangements, and final delivery to the agreed destination in accordance with the applicable delivery terms.
The customer must provide accurate and sufficient delivery information and ensure that the agreed delivery location is suitable for receiving and unloading the ordered machine.
If delivery cannot be completed due to incomplete information, restricted access to the delivery location, the recipient’s absence, or similar circumstances, additional costs such as waiting, storage, or redelivery charges may be charged to the customer in accordance with the applicable terms.
Freight Costs and Freight Index Adjustment
The delivery costs applicable to the order are determined based on factors including the product, selected accessories, and delivery address, and are presented to the customer before payment.
Because machines are manufactured to order and transported internationally, actual freight and logistics costs may change between the date of the order and the commencement of delivery.
If the applicable freight and directly freight-related logistics costs increase materially, a 10–15% adjustment may be applied to that portion in accordance with the applicable Freight Indexation Clause.
If the applicable freight costs decrease significantly, savings of up to 10% of the applicable freight portion may be credited to the customer.
Any adjustment applies only to the freight and directly freight-related logistics cost portion. The adjustment is not calculated on the price of the machine, accessories, North Global Oy’s service fee or commission, or the total order value.
Any applicable additional charge will be explained and itemized to the customer before it is charged.
Shipping Damage
The customer should inspect the delivery upon receipt where reasonably possible. Any visible shipping damage should, where possible, be documented on the transport documents and with photographs and reported to North Global Oy without undue delay.
North Global Oy will investigate the matter and, where necessary, coordinate its handling with the carrier, freight forwarder, manufacturer, insurer, or other relevant party.
Warranty, Returns and Cancellations
Manufacturers have their own product-specific warranty terms. The warranty period and coverage may vary depending on the product and manufacturer.
If a warranty claim, defect, or other product-related issue arises, the customer should contact North Global Oy directly. We will investigate the matter and, where necessary, coordinate its handling with the relevant manufacturer or other service provider.
Manufacturer warranty terms do not limit any rights the customer may have under applicable mandatory law.
Because products are generally made to order according to the customer’s selected configuration, they generally do not have a general change-of-mind return right. Any cancellations and returns are handled in accordance with the applicable terms and mandatory law.
Products must not be returned without prior return authorization and return instructions from North Global Oy.
Roles and Responsibilities
Northbull Imports is a machinery sourcing and order service operated by the Finnish company North Global Oy.
North Global Oy acts as the service provider and coordinator of the commercial order and delivery process. The service may include communication with the manufacturer, coordination of orders and payments, documentation, international transportation and freight forwarding, customs arrangements, delivery coordination, and customer support.
The machinery is manufactured by independent manufacturing partners. North Global Oy does not manufacture the products.
Manufacturers, carriers, freight forwarders, customs service providers, insurers, and other service providers may participate in fulfilling an order. North Global Oy remains the customer’s point of contact and, where necessary, coordinates the handling of matters with these parties.
Further Information
This Delivery Information provides a summary of the key practices relating to ordering, payment, manufacturing, and delivery.
Complete terms and more detailed information regarding payments, delivery, freight index adjustments, Incoterms, warranties, returns, cancellations, responsibilities, and other conditions applicable to orders are available in the Northbull Imports Terms & Conditions and other applicable policies.
Freight Index Adjustment
Our Freight Indexation Clause is designed to keep international delivery costs clear and transparent when freight costs change during the order process.
Products and machines are generally manufactured to order, and international freight costs may change during the production lead time. The freight index mechanism covers material and objectively verifiable changes in freight and directly freight-related logistics costs that may occur between the order and the commencement of delivery.
The adjustment applies only to the freight and directly freight-related logistics cost portion of the order. It does not apply to the price of the machine, accessories, North Global Oy’s service fee or commission, or other unrelated services.
- Applied only when necessary: the adjustment is not applied automatically.
- Limited to freight-related costs: an upward adjustment may be 10–15% of the applicable freight and directly freight-related logistics cost portion, never of the machine price or total order value.
- Fair in both directions: if applicable freight costs decrease significantly, savings may be credited up to 10% of the applicable freight portion.
- Transparent calculation: the applicable freight and directly freight-related logistics cost portion is separately itemized at the time of order.
- Notification: any applicable adjustment is explained and itemized before an additional charge is applied.
Typical reasons may include:
- Changes in ocean freight rates, fuel costs and transport capacity
- Port, terminal, handling and inland transportation surcharges
- Route disruptions, port congestion and industrial action
- Environmental, emission, security and transport-related regulatory charges
- Weather events, epidemics and other major logistics disruptions
- Transport packaging, special equipment and other freight-related handling costs
- Currency fluctuations affecting freight charges paid in foreign currencies
Any adjustment must have a material, direct and objectively verifiable connection to freight or directly freight-related logistics costs.
Payments are secured with strong SSL encryption and PCI DSS data protection protocols.
We accept the most common debit and credit cards, as well as domestic online banking and invoice payments. You can also apply for financing for your purchases through our financing partner without obligation.

Frequently asked questions
Buying machinery directly from overseas can be more complicated and risky than it first appears. Detailed technical knowledge, language barriers and differences in business culture can often be surprisingly challenging.
Not every online supplier is the actual manufacturer, and machines that look identical in listings may differ significantly in components, specifications, and overall configuration.
At Northbull Imports, we work with established manufacturing partners and use our nearly 15 years of experience with Chinese factories to evaluate manufacturers, products, and configurations. The products and configurations offered in our online store have been reviewed by us, helping ensure that you know what you are ordering rather than choosing a machine based on appearance or price alone.
Our long-term relationships with manufacturers also matter after the sale. Instead of being a one-time buyer dealing with an overseas supplier alone, you have North Global Oy coordinating the process and acting as your point of contact. If a warranty claim or product issue arises, you contact us directly and we coordinate the matter with the relevant manufacturer.
