Quick answer: In October 2026, asking prices in China for used, Chinese-brand servo injection molding machines run from about US$5,000–5,500 for a 90T machine to roughly US$90,000–95,000 for a 1,300T machine, FOB China, before refurbishment premiums. The full tracked table is below. These are asking prices from public listings — the prices sellers advertise, not recorded transaction prices — and this page is updated monthly so the ranges stay current.
The Index — October 2026
| Clamping force | Typical asking range (US$, FOB China) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 90T | 5,000 – 5,500 | Small parts, caps, housewares |
| 160T | 9,000 – 9,500 | Buckets, crates, general molding |
| 250T | 14,500 – 15,000 | Mid-size housings, containers |
| 320T | 18,500 – 19,000 | Larger containers, furniture parts |
| 470T | 28,500 – 30,000 | Big crates, pallets, auto parts |
| 800T | 54,000 – 56,000 | Large-format products |
| 1,000T | 85,000 – 90,000 | Industrial and automotive |
| 1,300T | 90,000 – 95,000 | Top of the common used range |
Basis of the table: Chinese-brand machines with servo-hydraulic drive, in standard resale condition, advertised by sellers in China in October 2026. Tonnages between the anchor rows price between them — a 200T machine, for example, typically asks between the 160T and 250T rows, adjusted for the factors below.
What Moves a Machine Above or Below the Range
Brand origin. Japanese and European brands (Nissei, Engel, Arburg and similar) ask well above this table at the same tonnage; the table tracks Chinese brands, which dominate the used export market by volume.
Drive type. Servo-driven machines carry an estimated premium of about 15–35% over comparable fixed-pump hydraulic machines of the same age, because buyers pay for the energy savings.
Year and hours. A 2020 machine and a 2012 machine of the same model are different products. Age is the single largest reason two “identical” listings differ.
Refurbishment grade. A machine sold as-is prices at or below the range. A fully refurbished machine — hydraulics, electrics and cosmetics done, tested and graded — carries an estimated premium of about 20–50%, and is the grade most export buyers actually want once freight is counted.
What is included. A mold, spare parts package, or a production trial before shipment all move the final quote. Compare like with like: an EXW as-is price and a refurbished FOB price are different products.
How to Use This Index
Use the range for your tonnage as the sanity check on any quote you receive — including ours. A quote far below the range usually means as-is condition, an older year than stated, or costs moved elsewhere (packing, loading, documents). A quote far above it should come with a refurbishment list that justifies the difference, item by item.

How We Collect This Data — and Its Limits
We track asking prices on public Chinese and international listings for used injection molding machines and record the advertised range per tonnage anchor each month. Three honest limits: (1) these are asking prices, not transaction prices — no public source records what used machines actually sell for, and anyone quoting you exact “market prices” is estimating; (2) condition and year mix inside every range, which is why we publish ranges rather than single numbers; (3) the premium figures for servo drive and refurbishment are our estimates from comparing listings, labelled as estimates wherever they appear.

FAQ
Are these the prices machines actually sell for?
No. They are tracked asking prices — what sellers advertise. Final transaction prices depend on condition, negotiation and what is included, and are not publicly recorded anywhere. Treat the index as a range check, not a price list.
Why does the same tonnage have a range instead of one price?
Because year, brand, drive type and condition spread real machines across the range. A single “price for a 250T” would be false precision; the range is what the market actually shows.
How do I get a firm price for a specific machine?
Send us the stock number of any machine on our machines page — or the product you want to make — and we will quote that exact unit, with its year, test status and refurbishment grade stated.
