Portable Car Lift Specification Example for Municipal Fleets: Adjustable Type
Portable Car Lift Specification Example for Municipal Fleets: Adjustable Type
This is a worked specification for portable car lift in a adjustable type programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The adjustable type version exists because the duty cycle on municipal fleets is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench.
Example specification
| Item | Portable Car Lift |
|---|---|
| Application | Municipal Fleets |
| Version | Adjustable Type |
| Base material | Bronze |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| Finish | zinc plated |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | SGS |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Bronze, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- gravity casting
- heat treatment
- anodising
- electroplating
- die casting
- sintering
Where this example applies
Programmes that run adjustable type most often specify this build for municipal fleets. Related applications include courier fleets, utility trailers, passenger cars, light trucks, city buses.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the SGS-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
