Application review drawing 01 · APPLICATION REVIEW

Application Review

Based on total load, wheel-unit count, speed, installation space, floor conditions and duty cycle, we recommend a suitable product series and starting configuration.

Series Recommendation Product family matched to load, motion architecture and operating conditions.
Model Range A preliminary model range for technical and commercial evaluation.
Selection Criteria & Limits Assumptions, operating boundaries and points requiring further validation.
Integration and assembly support 02 · INTEGRATION SUPPORT

Integration Support

We review the installation envelope, mechanical interfaces, motor specification, gear ratio, encoder and electrical connections to reduce integration risk.

Installation Dimensions Mounting height, bolt pattern, wheel position and chassis-clearance review.
Interface Confirmation Mechanical, electrical, encoder, brake and control-interface alignment.
Configuration Recommendations Motor, ratio, tread, protection and feedback options matched to the project.
Prototype validation test 03 · PROTOTYPE VALIDATION

Prototype Validation

Prototype performance is checked for travel, steering, lifting, load handling and durability, with optimisation based on test results.

Prototype Approval Configuration, assembly and basic function confirmed before the next phase.
Critical Performance Checks Load, speed, traction, steering, lifting, temperature and endurance as applicable.
Closed-Loop Issue Resolution Test observations are recorded, corrected and rechecked before release.
Series production and inspection 04 · SERIES PRODUCTION & DELIVERY

Series Production & Delivery

From prototypes and pilot batches to series production, technical records, revisions, delivery schedules and issue handling remain controlled.

Production Phase Planning Prototype, pilot batch and repeat-order requirements coordinated by phase.
Revision Control Technical changes and approved configurations remain traceable.
Delivery Coordination Production status, inspection, packaging and shipment timing are aligned.
