Brief restatement
We copy rated capacity, load center, lift height, lowered height and aisle width into one sheet so each plant answers the same geometry. A dealer brochure is not treated as a fit proof.
Factory matching
aerial work platform manufacturers
This desk prepares a comparable request for aerial work platform manufacturers and aerial work platform suppliers. We restate documents and exclusions. We do not publish a factory roster as our own plant list.
What the matching pass actually covers
Quote boundary
Machine, freight, pit work, anchors and commissioning stay on named lines. A mixed total without those labels is sent back for a split, not accepted as a cheaper headline.
Document request
After a candidate appears, we list load-test sheets, electrical drawings and nameplate photos the buyer should ask that factory to attach. Those papers belong to the quoted item, not to this website.
Numbered path from site notes to replies
-
1
Collect units
Capacity in lb at a stated load center, travel in ft or in, pit depth and dock height. Public dock-leveler pages often use those unit names; we ask buyers to copy the unit, not a bare digit. See the units article.
-
2
Mark exclusions
Installation, freight and documents stay outside a machine-only line unless the RFQ says otherwise. Thomas-style public RFQ forms show project notes and attachments as a directory pattern, not as this desk's live plant.
-
3
Compare like with like
Duty cycle, battery voltage or three-phase supply, and whether travel is hydraulic or another listed power stay in the comparison. We do not rank premium, mid-range or budget plants; those words are your preference only.
-
4
Return open items
Anything still unsigned (seismic design input, charging-room work, spare basket) is listed as unconfirmed. We do not fill gaps with a catalog story.
Claims this desk will not make
Aerial Work Platform Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner. We do not claim authorized-factory status, inspected plants on file, or a savings percentage versus a market basket. FREE sourcing support and up to 3% stay inside the published eligibility sentence on every inherited page.
If a reply mixes equipment and site work, we ask for a split before you read the total. That is a checking step, not a warranty.
