On July 21, 2025, a delegation led by Nurlan, a customer from Azerbaijan, visited the Shandong Ant AWP Manufacturing Plant (a core production base of Shandong Ant Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.). Through on-site factory inspections, equipment testing, and technical consultations, they reached a deep cooperation intention for procurement of Telescopic Boom Aerial Work Vehicles and localized services—injecting new momentum into Ant Construction’s market growth in the South Caucasus.

I. Warm Reception Kicks Off the Inspection Tour

Upon arrival, Ant Construction’s business team accompanied Nurlan throughout the visit, guiding them directly to the core exhibition area. Beside a 32-meter Telescopic Boom Aerial Work Vehicle(a Qingling Isuzu - based Truck Mounted Boom Lift), Nurlan—wearing a safety helmet emblazoned with the “Ant” logo—posed for a photo with Ant’s sales team while holding an equipment inspection report. This report, covering 12 core performance parameters, served as a visual medium for technical dialogue. Nurlan remarked:

“I’ve long heard of Ant’s reputation in Central Asian markets. Today’s on-site inspection at the AWP Manufacturing Plant—from reception details to equipment display—exudes professionalism at every turn!”

II. Equipment Testing: A Direct Demonstration of Technical Strength

During outdoor testing, Ant showcased a customized 28-meter Qingling Isuzu Aerial Work Platform (a flagship Truck Mounted Boom Lift), precisely tailored to Azerbaijan’s operating conditions:

Dust Resistance: Simulating the arid Caspian coastal climate, the platform ran continuously for 4 hours. Its hydraulic system operated smoothly, and the electronic control module maintained stable heat dissipation, achieving an IP65 dust-proof rating.

Precision Control: Nurlan tested the wireless remote control firsthand. At 15 meters high, positioning errors were ≤2 cm, and the “automatic mountain leveling” function (with slope compensation up to 5°) earned high praise.

Safety Redundancy: Equipped with a dual-circuit hydraulic system, anti-fall locks, and 7 layers of protection, the Telescopic Boom Aerial Work Vehicle also meets explosion-proof standards for oil and gas fields—alleviating safety concerns in high-risk scenarios.

III. Production Line Traceability: Decoding Ant’s Quality DNA in the AWP Manufacturing Plant

Nurlan’s delegation explored welding, painting, and assembly workshops within the Shandong Ant AWP Manufacturing Plant, uncovering Ant’s quality pillars:

Structural Rigidity: Using high-strength steel from Sweden’s SSAB, components undergo laser cutting by Japan’s Fanuc (precision: ±0.1 mm) and welding by KUKA 6-axis robots—ensuring a 100% weld inspection pass rate for the Qingling Isuzu Aerial Work Platform and other models, even in mountainous terrain.

Anti-Corrosion Innovation: The “zinc-nickel alloy plating + polyurea spraying” twin method ensures salt spray corrosion resistance exceeding 2000 hours, resisting the Caspian Sea’s humid climate—a critical advantage for the Truck Mounted Boom Lift operating in coastal regions.

Full-Lifecycle Traceability: Each Telescopic Boom Aerial Work Vehicle undergoes 18 rigorous checks (e.g., 120% load testing, 300-cycle lifting simulations) and generates a digital profile for end-to-end records tracking, a standard practice across the AWP Manufacturing Plant.

IV. Custom Solutions: Addressing Regional Pain Points

Focusing on Azerbaijan’s three core needs—energy maintenance, infrastructure construction, and low-temperature environments—the parties finalized a tailored plan for the Qingling Isuzu Aerial Work Platform and other models:

Energy Adaptation: A custom explosion-proof Truck Mounted Boom Lift for Baku’s oil and gas fields, leveraging the reliability of Qingling Isuzu chassis.

Low-Temperature Performance: A hydraulic oil preheating system integrated into the Telescopic Boom Aerial Work Vehicle to ensure startup at -20°C, addressing the region’s frigid winters.

An Ant Construction overseas executive emphasized:

“We deliver more than equipment—we provide a ‘technical customization + local service’ solution for products like the Qingling Isuzu Aerial Work Platform, tailored to the South Caucasus’ unique demands.”

V. Group Photo Marks a New Cooperation Chapter

At the inspection’s end, Nurlan and Ant’s team posed for a photo beside the customized Telescopic Boom Aerial Work Vehicle (a Qingling Isuzu - based Truck Mounted Boom Lift, Figure 2). Their thumbs-up signified recognition of technical strength and optimism for future collaboration. Nurlan stated:

“Ant’s performance, customization (especially for the Qingling Isuzu Aerial Work Platform), and service perfectly match Azerbaijan’s needs. We look forward to the first order, empowering local energy and infrastructure with Ant’s equipment from the AWP Manufacturing Plant!”

Ant Construction: Deepening Technology, Connecting Global Markets

As a 15-year equipment manufacturing veteran, Ant Construction holds CE and ISO 9001 certifications, exporting Telescopic Boom Aerial Work Vehicles, Truck Mounted Boom Lifts, and specialized models like the Qingling Isuzu Aerial Work Platform to over 30 countries (Southeast Asia, Middle East, Latin America, etc.). This Azerbaijan collaboration extends its “technology-driven overseas expansion + brand deepening” strategy—building global trust via on-site inspections at the AWP Manufacturing Plant and region-tailored customization.

Going forward, Ant Construction will focus on Belt and Road markets, driving global aerial work innovation with solutions tailored to regions like the South Caucasus, leveraging the versatility of platforms such as the Qingling Isuzu Aerial Work Platform and advanced manufacturing capabilities of the AWP Manufacturing Plant.
