Case of jib crane in Nigeria
Recently, we completed an order for jib crane from Nigeria. After communicating with the customer, we learned that the customer is looking for a crane that can move the materials in and out of the production process in a limited space. According to this working characteristic, we recommend the jib crane. Through our sales manager’s patient explanation of the working principle and characteristics of the jib crane, the Nigerian customer finally accepted our proposal.

We provides detailed quotation to the Nigerian client with price, delivery conditions, payment term, guarantee, technical information with drawing, and all is satisfying to him. However, there is a problem that the customer should build the foundation for the jib crane before the arriving of the jib crane. Therefore, we make foundation drawing for customer, too. Then we begins cooperation with this customer, and crane production starts.
