Sinotech Group 12m Scissor Lift Export to Cyprus

As the construction and logistics sectors in Cyprus continue to flourish—driven by major developments in Limassol and Nicosia—the demand for safe, reliable, and efficient aerial work platforms (AWP) has reached an all-time high.

Recently, we successfully completed the export of a fleet of 12-meter electric scissor lifts to a premier construction equipment rental company based in Limassol, Cyprus. This partnership highlights our commitment to providing world-class lifting solutions tailored to the rigorous standards of the European market. In this case study, we will explore the project requirements, the technical advantages of our machinery, and the seamless collaboration that led to this successful delivery.

Customer Challenges & Requirements

The client, a significant player in the Cypriot equipment rental market, was looking to upgrade their fleet to support several high-profile indoor installation and maintenance projects. After several rounds of technical consultation, we identified their core priorities:

• Height-to-Size Ratio: The projects involved working in narrow aisles within shopping malls and logistics warehouses. The equipment needed a 12m working height but had to maintain a compact footprint to pass through standard double doors.
• Environmental Compliance: Given the indoor nature of the work, zero-emission and low-noise operation were non-negotiable requirements.
• EU Safety Standards: As Cyprus is an EU member state, all machinery had to be fully CE certified, meeting stringent safety and quality protocols.
• Reliability in Coastal Climates: Limassol’s Mediterranean climate, characterized by high humidity and salt air, required the machinery to have superior anti-corrosion properties.

Why Our 12m Scissor Lift Was the Perfect Fit

After analyzing the client’s needs, we recommended our GTJZ-12 Electric Scissor Lift. This model is engineered to provide the perfect balance between reach, capacity, and maneuverability.

Key Technical Specifications:

• Working Height: 12 meters
• Platform Capacity: 320kg (Rated for 2 occupants plus tools)
• Machine Width: 1.15 meters (Designed for narrow-aisle accessibility)
• Power Source: High-capacity deep-cycle batteries (Maintenance-free options available)

High-Value Features:

• Extendable Platform: The 0.9m extension deck allows operators to reach over obstacles on the ground, significantly increasing the “up and over” capability.
• Proportional Controls: Our advanced control system ensures smooth lifting and driving transitions, which is critical when working near fragile indoor glass structures.
• Automatic Pothole Protection: This safety feature lowers the ground clearance when the platform is raised, preventing tipping if the unit encounters uneven surfaces.
• Eco-Friendly Drive: The high-efficiency electric motors provide long duty cycles, allowing for a full day of work on a single charge.

Building Collaboration

In the B2B machinery industry, trust is the foundation of every transaction. Our collaboration with the Cypriot client was built on transparency and technical expertise.

Virtual Factory Inspection

Due to travel schedules, the client could not initially visit our manufacturing facility in person. To bridge this gap, we organized a Live Virtual Factory Tour. Using high-definition cameras, we walked the client through:

• Our automated laser-cutting and robotic welding lines.
• The multi-stage painting and anti-corrosion treatment process.
• The final testing zone, where every unit undergoes a 125% load test before approval.

Technical Customization

To address the coastal humidity in Cyprus, we provided a customized corrosion-resistant package, including specialized coatings for hydraulic fittings and waterproof covers for the control console. We also ensured all documentation, from the operator’s manual to the safety decals, was provided in clear, professional English as per the client’s request.

The Face-to-Face Meeting

Before the final shipment, a representative of the client’s group visited our headquarters. This visit solidified our partnership. They were particularly impressed by our inventory of spare parts and our dedicated after-sales support system. “Seeing the precision of your assembly line gave us the confidence that we chose the right partner for our long-term growth,” the representative noted.

Quality Control & International Logistics

Shipping heavy machinery from China to the Mediterranean requires meticulous planning.

• Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): Every 12m scissor lift underwent a rigorous 24-hour functional test. We checked hydraulic pressure, battery life, and emergency descent systems to ensure “Plug-and-Play” readiness upon arrival in Cyprus.
• Strategic Packaging: To protect the machines from the salty sea air during the long voyage, we applied a protective wax coating to all exposed chrome parts and utilized heavy-duty shrink-wrapping.
• Container Optimization: Our logistics team optimized the loading plan for a 40HC container, ensuring the machines were securely braced to prevent any movement during maritime transport, while also minimizing shipping costs for the client.

We are committed to providing high-quality machinery and providing customers with comprehensive solutions. The company has a highly efficient, innovative and experienced team that constantly pursues technological innovation and product optimization to meet the changing needs of customers.
