Portable Vehicle Cooler Specification Example for Assembly Programmes: Folding Type
Portable Vehicle Cooler Specification Example for Assembly Programmes: Folding Type
This is a worked specification for portable vehicle cooler in a folding 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 folding type version exists because the duty cycle on assembly programmes is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually warranty claims traced back to a single lot.
Example specification
| Item | Portable Vehicle Cooler |
|---|---|
| Application | Assembly Programmes |
| Version | Folding Type |
| Base material | Aluminium Alloy |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 500 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | DOT |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Aluminium Alloy, 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
- die casting
- rubber vulcanisation
- heat treatment
- injection moulding
- assembly line testing
- anodising
Where this example applies
Programmes that run folding type most often specify this build for assembly programmes. Related applications include three-wheelers, assembly programmes, trailer axles, off-road bikes, passenger cars.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the DOT-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
