Item Details Cooperation Platform Alibaba.com International Station Supplier Yantai Jingli Automobile Testing Equipment Co., Ltd. Buyer Market United States Product Four Post Parking Lift Main Application Private garages, auto repair shops, detailing shops, small commercial parking areas Case Focus Consultation, video factory inspection, solution optimization, OEM support, order confirmation Yantai Jingli Automobile Testing Equipment Co., Ltd. × American Parking Equipment Buyer   Step 1: Alibaba International Station Consultation and Docking Accurately Matching the American Customer’s Parking Space Solution Needs An American customer from California, Mr. Michael, contacted Yantai Jingli Automobile Testing Equipment Co., Ltd. through Alibaba.com International Station. The customer is mainly engaged in automotive repair equipment and parking equipment projects, and has long provided equipment procurement services for local auto repair shops, car detailing shops, private garages, and small commercial parking facilities. This time, the customer’s core requirement was very clear: he needed to purchase a batch of Four Post Parking Lifts to help end users improve garage space utilization and achieve the effect of parking two cars in one parking space. Due to the high labor cost in the United States and the continuous increase in storage and parking space costs, the customer hoped to find a parking lift with a stable structure, simple operation, low maintenance cost, and suitability for long-term use. The customer focused on whether the lifting capacity could meet the needs of common American sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks; whether the structure was stable, the platform was anti-slip, and long-term parking was safe; whether English installation manuals, operation videos, and after-sales support could be provided; whether batch procurement, OEM branding, and packaging customization were supported; and whether the delivery schedule could match the sales plan in the U.S. market. After receiving the inquiry, Yantai Jingli’s foreign trade consultant responded immediately through Alibaba.com International Station. Based on the customer’s application scenarios, we recommended a Four Post Parking Lift solution suitable for the U.S. market. At the same time, we sent real product photos, structural detail images, technical parameters, packaging methods, loading plans, and quotation documents to help the customer quickly understand the product.     Step 2: Video Factory Inspection and Product Demonstration Real Display of the Production Workshop and Parking Lift Testing Process To help the customer understand the product quality and factory strength more intuitively, Yantai Jingli arranged an English video factory inspection. During the video call, the foreign trade consultant and technical engineer guided the customer through the production workshop, raw material storage area, welding station, assembly area, and finished product testing area remotely. During the product demonstration, the engineer focused on introducing the structural features of the parking lift: four-post support structure for strong overall stability, widened anti-slip platforms suitable for long-term vehicle parking, hydraulic lifting for smooth operation, mechanical safety locks for improved safety, movable wheel design for convenient position adjustment in certain scenarios, and suitability for private garages, repair shops, car collection garages, and small parking areas. The engineer then demonstrated the process of driving a vehicle onto the platform, lifting the equipment, engaging the mechanical lock, and maintaining stability during parking. The customer paid particular attention to platform shaking after the vehicle was lifted, the action of the safety locks, and the operating condition of the hydraulic system. After the video demonstration, the customer believed that the equipment had a clear structure and simple operation, making it very suitable for promotion in the U.S. market.     Step 3: Solution Optimization and Detail Confirmation Adjusting the Configuration and Packaging Plan According to U.S. Market Needs After initially confirming the product direction, the customer requested that this batch of parking lifts be more suitable for American end users. In response, the Yantai Jingli team further optimized the solution according to the characteristics of the U.S. market. For the load capacity configuration, we recommended a solution suitable for passenger cars, SUVs, and some light vehicles, meeting common usage scenarios in the United States. For the platform design, anti-slip diamond-plate platforms were adopted to make vehicle driving more stable and long-term parking safer. For safety configuration, the equipment was equipped with mechanical safety locks to provide more reliable lifting and reduce end-user concerns. In terms of English documentation support, we provided English manuals, installation guidance videos, product parameter sheets, and after-sales guidance documents to facilitate the customer’s later sales and installation. For OEM branding service, according to the customer’s requirements, the customer’s brand information could be added to the product nameplate, packaging, and promotional materials to help the customer build a local brand image in the United States. For packaging and transportation, we optimized the packaging method according to U.S. ocean shipping and warehouse requirements to reduce the risk of bumps and scratches during transportation. After multiple rounds of communication, the customer recognized Yantai Jingli’s professionalism, response speed, and product solution, and confirmed that the parking lift would be one of the key products promoted in the U.S. market.     Step 4: Order Confirmation and Production Follow-up Efficient Cooperation Landing to Help the Customer Expand the U.S. Parking Equipment Market After the final solution was confirmed, Yantai Jingli prepared a complete set of cooperation materials for the customer, including product quotations, technical parameter sheets, packaging dimensions, container loading quantity, delivery schedule, after-sales service instructions, and OEM proposal. The customer finally confirmed the first purchase of 10 sets of Four Post Parking Lifts for local distribution testing and end-customer sample projects in the United States. After the order was confirmed, Yantai Jingli immediately arranged production and established a dedicated communication group to regularly update the customer on production progress, including raw material preparation, welding, spraying, assembly, testing, and packaging. After production was completed, we conducted factory inspections on each unit, focusing on platform flatness, hydraulic system operation, safety lock action, structural connection points, and surface coating quality to ensure that the products met the customer’s requirements. Before container loading, we provided the customer with loading photos, packaging detail photos, and shipping documents, helping the customer arrange local customs clearance and pickup in the United States in advance. After receiving the equipment, the customer reported that the parking lifts had a stable structure, clear installation process, and expected performance, making them very suitable for private garage and auto repair shop customers. After the first batch of equipment was sold, the customer stated that local end users had a high level of acceptance of this product, especially recognizing its advantages in saving parking space, convenient operation, and high cost performance. The customer then continued to discuss future bulk purchase plans and planned to make Yantai Jingli’s parking lift a long-term cooperation product.   Case Summary Through this cooperation, Yantai Jingli Automobile Testing Equipment Co., Ltd. not only provided the American customer with cost-effective parking lift products, but also delivered one-stop services covering product recommendation, video factory inspection, solution optimization, OEM support, production follow-up, and after-sales documentation. For the U.S. market, the Four Post Parking Lift is not only automotive service equipment, but also an efficient parking space utilization solution. With stable product quality, fast response capability, and a mature foreign trade service process, Yantai Jingli helped the customer complete the first purchase smoothly and laid a solid foundation for long-term cooperation.

Step 1: Consultation and Docking — Multilingual Response to Solve Core Foreign Trade Pain Points Mr. Lucas initiated a cooperation consultation through the English online consultation portal on our Google independent website, communicating in English throughout. His core needs were clear and in line with the characteristics of the European market: as a well-known local auto maintenance equipment brand, he needed to purchase 4-post car lifts suitable for small and medium-sized auto repair shops for his distribution network. The primary requirement was that the products comply with the EU EN 1493:2022 safety standard and CE certification to ensure smooth customs clearance into the European market. At the same time, he required support for ODM OEM production to print his own brand logo, a load-bearing capacity of 4 tons (suitable for mainstream European family cars and light SUVs), balance cost-effectiveness and a delivery time of within 30 days, and full understanding of the production process to avoid the risk of customs clearance obstacles caused by substandard quality. Our exclusive foreign trade consultant (proficient in English and German) responded immediately, communicating without language barriers throughout. Instead of blindly recommending products, the consultant conducted a one-on-one video conference to carefully inquire about the regions covered by his distribution network (Germany, Poland, etc.), the site size of terminal stores, the usage habits of local customers, as well as his brand’s OEM requirements, packaging specifications and all documents required for customs declaration. Addressing Mr. Lucas’ biggest concerns about compliance and quality, we took the initiative to propose: we could first arrange a full English video factory inspection to intuitively show the production process, quality control and CE certification-related testing links; later, he could make an appointment to visit the factory in person to witness the entire product production process, completely eliminating his concerns. We also promised to provide a full set of compliance documents to facilitate smooth customs clearance. After the communication, we quickly sorted out 2 sets of adaptive solutions (4-ton standard 4-post car lift, 4-ton adjustable 4-post car lift), both attached with CE certification report, EN 1493:2022 compliance test report, detailed parameters, site layout diagram, OEM plan and quotation for Mr. Lucas to compare and choose; at the same time, we marked the adaptive scenarios and long-term expandability of different solutions.     Step 2: Video Factory Inspection — Full English Live Broadcast to Lay a Solid Foundation for Cooperation Trust In accordance with the agreement between both parties, on the 4th day after the consultation, we arranged a senior foreign trade engineer to conduct a full English video factory inspection. The live broadcast was unedited and unobstructed, with real-time translation throughout, ensuring that Mr. Lucas and his Chinese assistant could clearly understand every link. The live broadcast started from the raw material warehouse. The engineer on site showed the EU standard thickened steel we used, detailed the steel material test report and load-bearing performance test process, proving that it fully meets the requirements of the EN 1493:2022 standard for load-bearing structures. Then he led Mr. Lucas to “enter” the production workshop, real-time showing the key processes such as the steel frame welding of the 4-post car lift, the assembly of the hydraulic system, and the debugging of the safety lock. He focused on explaining the quality control details such as the flaw detection test after welding and the sealing test of the hydraulic system, and on-site presented the test records of each process. At the end of the live broadcast, we showed the finished product testing area. The engineer operated the 4-ton 4-post car lift on site to complete no-load and full-load tests, intuitively showing the smoothness of the equipment’s lifting and the sensitivity of the safety lock. At the same time, he presented the original CE certification and the original compliance test report of the product, and answered the questions raised by Mr. Lucas one by one, including “the service life of the hydraulic system”, “the double protection measures for safety protection”, “the process details of OEM production”, etc. After the video factory inspection, Mr. Lucas highly recognized our production strength, quality control system and compliance, clearly selected the 4-ton standard 4-post car lift plan, and proposed to make an appointment for on-site factory inspection to further confirm the production details and OEM process.     Step 3: On-site Factory Inspection — Personal Experience to Finalize Cooperation Details On the 3rd day after the video factory inspection, Mr. Lucas led his technical team (2 people) to arrive at our factory from Germany for on-site factory inspection. We arranged a foreign trade consultant + engineer to accompany them throughout, providing English explanation services. During the on-site factory inspection, we first took Mr. Lucas to review the production process, allowing his technical team to personally touch the steel thickness, check the welding process, watch the full-load test of the car lift on site, and intuitively feel the stability and safety of the equipment. Then we led them to visit the showroom, allowing the technical team to personally operate the 4-ton standard 4-post car lift, test the operation convenience and lifting accuracy, and confirm that the equipment is fully suitable for the use needs of its European terminal stores. In response to the ODM OEM demand, we on-site showed the sample of OEM production, detailed the printing process and position selection of the brand logo, confirmed the size, color and printing requirements of Mr. Lucas’ brand logo, promised to strictly implement it in accordance with his standards without any extra logos. At the same time, we took them to visit the accessories warehouse and after-sales center, showed the reserve of vulnerable parts and the after-sales response process, and clearly informed him of the after-sales guarantee of “24-hour English technical support, 48-hour delivery of vulnerable parts, and full assistance with customs clearance documents”. In addition, according to the size of the terminal stores in his distribution network, we further optimized the site layout plan and adjusted the installation details of the car lift to ensure that it is suitable for the space characteristics of small and medium-sized auto repair shops in Europe. After the on-site factory inspection, Mr. Lucas and his technical team had no objections to the product quality, OEM process and after-sales guarantee, and immediately finalized the core details of the cooperation, agreeing on the follow-up docking of program confirmation and contract signing.     Step 4: Program Confirmation + Order Placement — Efficient Docking to Successfully Land the Cooperation After the on-site factory inspection, we quickly sorted out the final cooperation plan, improved the OEM production rules, packaging specifications (in line with European transportation standards), list of customs clearance documents (CE certification, test report, certificate of origin, etc.), delivery cycle and installation guidance plan, and sent it to Mr. Lucas for confirmation in English. After checking, Mr. Lucas only put forward one detail adjustment: he required adding EU safety warning signs on the car lift body. We responded immediately, adjusted the plan and supplemented the design sample of the warning signs, and sent it again for confirmation. After the program was confirmed, we issued a formal Chinese-English bilingual contract on the same day, clarifying the rights and obligations of both parties, delivery time (stocking and shipping within 28 days), payment method, OEM requirements, customs clearance assistance and quality guarantee clauses. After Mr. Lucas reviewed and confirmed, he completed the contract signing and 30% advance payment on the same day, officially finalizing the purchase order for 10 sets of 4-ton 4-post car lifts. After placing the order, we arranged production immediately, and established an exclusive communication group at the same time, sending production progress updates (with on-site photos and videos) to Mr. Lucas every day, allowing him to fully control the production process and ensure that the products are produced in accordance with the agreed standards. After the stocking was completed, we sorted out the full set of customs clearance documents in advance, assisted Mr. Lucas in handling customs declaration, sea transportation and other related matters, ensuring that the goods were shipped smoothly. Finally, the goods arrived at the designated European port within the agreed time and completed customs clearance successfully. Later, Mr. Lucas reported that his terminal customers highly recognized the quality and operation experience of the car lift, and immediately placed an additional order for 8 sets of scissor car lifts, achieving long-term and stable cooperation.
