Introduction To Our Custom Design Process
Autoquip is the leading manufacturer of highly-specialized, non-standard custom lift equipment and systems – We have an exceptional record of completing some of the most challenging and complex projects. Our process is simple. It starts from your functional specifications or scope of work, and trusting us to turn your vision into the perfect solution for your operations.
Discovering Your Objective
The first step to designing your custom lift solution is working together to understand your application, clearly defining your operational objective, and the desired performance and functionality of your lift equipment. We will work with you to assess any special design options and set up any specific testing requirements you may have. This begins the design process which allows us to present a design solution that meets all the requirements of your application.
Preparing Your Quote
Once the objective of your custom lift is fully understood, we outline the project scope and the lift specifications in order to provide you a quote. The quote will include the cost of the lift and expected shipping costs. We consider this phase as the most crucial because the quote documents the full requirements and lead-time for your custom lift solution. Acceptance of the quote provides our approval to proceed to the design phase. The acceptance of the quote comes in the form of a formal purchase order.
- Equipment drawings to show specification details
- Recommended design options
- An explanation of the equipment and components
Production of your custom lift follows the quotation and drawing approval. Our highly skilled manufacturing team works closely with the engineering team to complete all fabrication and assembly of your custom lift. The time-frame and completion of your lift is very much based on the complexity of the project, your delivery requirements, and any specific quality inspections or testing requirements.
