Recently, a professional team from Germany paid a special visit to Ant’s manufacturing and R&D base, focusing on the inspection and technical exchange of the truck-mounted aerial work platform. As a key player in the European industrial maintenance and infrastructure construction sector, the German client has long sought reliable high-altitude operation equipment that meets strict safety and quality standards. Their visit aims to verify whether Ant’s truck-mounted aerial work platform can match the rigorous requirements of the German and even European markets, marking a critical step toward potential long-term cooperation. In the context of global demand for efficient and safe high-altitude operation tools, this exchange not only showcases Ant’s strength in the truck-mounted aerial work platform field but also bridges the gap between Chinese manufacturing and European industrial needs.

1. On-Site Performance Test: The Truck-Mounted Aerial Work Platform Stands Out in Core Index Checks

The first stop of the client’s visit was Ant’s outdoor test site, where a 46-meter truck-mounted aerial work platform was put through a series of strict performance tests. The German team, with rich experience in industrial aerial lift evaluation, focused on key indicators such as load capacity, boom flexibility, and operational stability. During the test, the truck-mounted aerial work platform successfully lifted a 300-kg load to the maximum working height of 46 meters, and its seven-section telescopic boom extended and retracted smoothly without obvious vibration.

“The stability of the boom at extreme heights is beyond our expectation,” said one of the client’s senior engineers. Unlike ordinary industrial aerial lift models, Ant’s truck-mounted aerial work platform adopts imported high-strength steel for its boom, which not only reduces the overall weight of the equipment but also enhances its load-bearing capacity. The client also tested the platform’s rotation function—its 360-degree continuous rotation was precise, meeting the high-precision operation needs of European industrial maintenance scenarios.

In the mobility test, the truck-mounted aerial work platform showed excellent adaptability. Its compact design allowed it to move flexibly on the simulated narrow construction site, which the client noted was crucial for operations in old European industrial zones with limited space. This round of on-site tests made the German team fully recognize the core performance of Ant’s truck-mounted aerial work platform, laying a solid foundation for subsequent discussions.

2. Safety Standard Alignment: The Truck-Mounted Aerial Work Platform Meets European Boom Lift Safety Requirements

Safety is a non-negotiable requirement for European industrial equipment, and boom lift safety has always been a top priority for the German client. During the visit, the team paid special attention to the safety configuration of Ant’s truck-mounted aerial work platform, conducting a detailed inspection of every safety component.

Ant’s engineers introduced that each truck-mounted aerial work platform is equipped with a dual hydraulic lock system on its outriggers. Even in the event of an unexpected hydraulic system failure, the outriggers will remain locked without displacement, preventing the platform from tilting. This design perfectly aligns with the European Union’s strict safety standards for high-altitude operation equipment. The client also checked the emergency descent device—the electric emergency pump can smoothly lower the platform within 95 seconds in case of power failure, which won high recognition from the team.

The client also verified the platform’s overload alarm and height limit functions. When the load exceeded the rated 300 kg, the truck-mounted aerial work platform immediately activated an audible and visual alarm and locked the lifting operation. “Such multi-layer safety protection is exactly what we need for high-rise maintenance equipment in industrial plants,” the client emphasized. In the subsequent discussion, the two parties exchanged views on boom lift safety management experience in European and Chinese markets, and the client affirmed that Ant’s truck-mounted aerial work platform has reached the level of mainstream European brands in terms of safety.

3. Customization Discussion: Tailoring the Truck-Mounted Aerial Work Platform for German Industrial Scenarios

The German industrial sector has diverse and personalized needs for aerial work equipment due to the variety of its industrial fields, from automotive manufacturing to chemical plant maintenance. During the seminar, the client put forward targeted customization requirements for the truck-mounted aerial work platform.

For example, in German chemical plants, high-altitude operations often involve corrosive environments. The client hoped to enhance the corrosion resistance of the truck-mounted aerial work platform’s surface. In response, Ant’s R&D team proposed a solution to use a well-known brand of anti-corrosion paint and add a protective coating to key components, which was quickly recognized by the client. In addition, the client required the integration of a more precise wireless remote control system to adapt to the remote operation needs of large-scale industrial equipment maintenance.

Ant’s team introduced that the current truck-mounted aerial work platform already supports wireless remote control within 50 meters, and can further optimize the signal stability and operation precision according to the client’s needs. Such flexible custom aerial work solutions deeply impressed the German team. They pointed out that many manufacturers only provide standardized products, while Ant’s ability to tailor the truck-mounted aerial work platform according to specific industrial scenarios is a key advantage in entering the European market.

In the discussion of after-sales service, the client also proposed requirements for localized maintenance support. Ant responded that it plans to cooperate with local European service providers to ensure that the truck-mounted aerial work platform can get timely maintenance and spare parts supply after being put into use, which further enhanced the client’s confidence in cooperation.

4. Future Cooperation Outlook: The Truck-Mounted Aerial Work Platform Becomes a Link for Sino-German Industrial Cooperation

The in-depth exchange during the visit made both parties reach a preliminary cooperation intention. The German client said that they will conduct small-batch purchases of Ant’s truck-mounted aerial work platform for trial use in their cooperative industrial enterprises. If the trial effect meets expectations, they will carry out long-term bulk procurement and promote the product to other European countries.

For Ant, this cooperation is an important opportunity to enter the high-end European market. The truck-mounted aerial work platform, as the core product of the cooperation, will continue to be optimized in terms of performance and customization capabilities. In the future, Ant will also carry out joint R&D with the German team to integrate more European industrial operation concepts into the upgrade of the truck-mounted aerial work platform.

In the context of the global integration of industrial chains, the cooperation between Ant and the German client is not only a business partnership but also a collision and integration of Chinese manufacturing and European quality standards. The truck-mounted aerial work platform, which has passed the strict inspection of the German team, is expected to become a new business card for Chinese aerial work equipment to enter the international market.

Conclusion
The visit of the German client is a full recognition of Ant's strength in the truck-mounted aerial work platform field. From on-site performance tests to safety standard verification, and then to customization demand docking, every link reflects the client’s recognition of Ant’s products. As a key equipment in industrial aerial work, the truck-mounted aerial work platform plays an irreplaceable role in high-rise maintenance equipment and industrial repair scenarios. Ant will take this opportunity to continuously improve product quality and service capabilities, making the truck-mounted aerial work platform more competitive in the global market and creating more value for partners around the world.
