In July 2025, a delegation led by Turkish client Mr. Saban traveled to China for a comprehensive factory inspection of Ant Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.’s Shandong production base. Following rigorous verification of equipment performance, production traceability, and technical consultations, they finalized a purchase agreement for 10 aerial work platforms—marking a milestone breakthrough for Ant in the Turkish market.

1. High-Speed Rail Reception: Detail-Driven Service Bridges Cooperation Gaps

Upon arrival, Ant’s business team awaited the delegation at the VIP exit of the high-speed rail station, holding a customized sign reading “Welcome, Mr. Saban”. The efficient logistics and attentive service immediately eased cross-border tensions. As he exited the turnstile, Mr. Saban remarked:

“I’ve long heard of Ant’s reputation for technological excellence in aerial work platforms. This on-site inspection is to verify if your products can meet the stringent demands of the Turkish market!”

2. End-to-End Verification: From Smart Manufacturing to Quality Control

(1) Extreme Performance Testing 

In the outdoor test zone, Ant showcased a 32-meter telescopic boom aerial work platform. Leveraging industry-leading lightweight boom steel technology, the boom achieved millimeter-level precision in extension. Paired with a dual-redundancy safety locking mechanism, the platform’s swing amplitude remained within 5 cm even under simulated 8-level gusts. The client praised the “millimeter-level control precision and multi-layer safety protection”.

(2) Transparent Production Traceability 

The delegation toured welding, painting, and assembly workshops, witnessing the rigor of “Chinese smart manufacturing”:

Chassis Manufacturing : High-strength steel was cut via a TRUMPF laser cutting system (Germany) and welded by KUKA 6-axis welding robots, achieving 100% weld inspection pass rates—ensuring structural rigidity for Turkey’s mountainous terrain.

Core Component Assembly: Engineers disassembled Parker hydraulic valve blocks and Siemens electronic control modules in real time, explaining details from seal selection to wiring—demonstrating technical prowess.

Painting Process: An electrophoresis + powder coating dual process created an 80μm-thick anti-corrosion coating, with salt spray corrosion resistance exceeding 1500 hours (tested under Turkey’s dusty, temperature-fluctuating conditions).

(3) Full-Lifecycle Quality Assurance 

In the final assembly zone, Ant demonstrated its ISO 9001 + full-process traceability system:

120% rated load testing, safety limit verification, and 200-hour continuous operation simulations.

Each unit received a unique “digital file” covering design, production, and inspection data—eliminating concerns about overseas maintenance.

3. Custom Solutions: Addressing Turkey’s Unique Challenges

In a dedicated meeting room (Figure 9), the two sides tailored solutions to Turkey’s “mountainous terrain, extreme temperatures, and diverse scenarios”:

Terrain Adaptation: Optimized adaptive outrigger leveling algorithms boosted slope compensation to 5°, enhancing stability on Anatolian plateaus.

Dual Power Options:

Electric models: Equipped with custom CATL batteries, offering 8-hour runtime (ideal for indoor silent operations).

Diesel models: Fitted with Cummins Tier 4 engines, starting at -20°C (suited for outdoor infrastructure projects).

After-Sales Guarantee: Dual spare parts centers in Istanbul and Ankara stock over 300 core components, with a 48-hour response commitment written into the contract—solving overseas maintenance delays.

An executive from Ant’s Overseas Division emphasized:

“We use ‘customized technology + full-cycle service’ as a lever to help clients build ‘technology + service’ barriers in Turkey—not just sell equipment.”

4. 10-Unit Order Sealed, Marking Strategic Collaboration

At the end of the visit, the parties posed for a photo in front of Ant’s headquarters brand wall (Figure 8) and signed the contract. Mr. Saban stated:

“Ant’s production scale, technical details, and ‘customization + localization’ service commitments completely dispelled our concerns. These platforms will support key projects like Istanbul New Airport maintenance and Ankara municipal pipeline upgrades!”

Ant Construction Machinery: Opening Overseas Markets with Smart Manufacturing

As a 15-year veteran in equipment manufacturing, Ant holds international certifications (CE, EN 14001, SGS) and exports to over 32 countries/regions (Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, etc.). This Turkish order exemplifies its “technology export + brand deepening” strategy—building trust through on-site inspections and customized services.

Conclusion: Chinese Solutions Empower Global Infrastructure

Amid deepening Belt and Road infrastructure cooperation, Ant embraces the global market openly. This Turkish deal sets a benchmark for the “Chinese Solution” in aerial work platforms, showcasing technological adaptability and localized service. Going forward, Ant aims to partner with more overseas clients, powering global aerial work with Chinese smart manufacturing.
