At YG Machinery, we supplied one Aluminum Lifting Platform to a customer in South Africa. The machine was received last month and has already been put into regular use. According to the customer’s feedback, the platform performs smoothly in daily operation and fully meets their expectations for indoor maintenance and aerial work.
South Africa Project Background And Site Limitations
At YG Machinery, we received an inquiry from a South African customer who needed a practical solution for indoor height work. The request was clearly focused on safety, simplicity, and daily usability rather than heavy construction tasks.
After initial communication, we identified several site limitations:
The platform would be used indoors only
The working area had narrow aisles and fixed doors
The concrete floor had load limits
Operators were general maintenance staff
These conditions immediately ruled out large steel lifting platforms. From our experience, recommending equipment without considering these limits often leads to misuse or dissatisfaction. Therefore, we treated site conditions as the starting point of the solution.

Customer Equipment Selection Process
The customer found YG Machinery through Google while searching for a reliable Aluminum Lifting Platform for Sale with export experience. Before contacting us, the customer had already reviewed several suppliers and product types.
During communication, the customer focused on:
Whether the aluminum structure was suitable
How easy the platform was to move
Operation difficulty for non-professional users
Export experience and response efficiency
Instead of pushing a product directly, we explained different lifting options and clarified where an aluminum platform performs well and where it does not. This approach helped the customer make a decision based on real usage rather than sales claims.
Equipment Matching Points And Practical Limitations
Based on the information provided, we recommended an aluminum alloy lifting platform designed mainly for vertical access work. Our goal was to match the equipment to the task, not to oversize the solution.
Key matching points included:
Lightweight aluminum frame for indoor floors
Vertical lifting design for limited space
Stable structure for routine maintenance
Simple control system
At the same time, we clearly explained the practical limits:
Not suitable for uneven outdoor ground
Not designed for lifting heavy materials
Limited horizontal reach
By communicating these limits early, we helped the customer avoid unrealistic expectations and ensured the platform would be used correctly.
Mobile Aluminum Lifting Platform Configuration And Use Conditions
For this project, we supplied a mobile aluminum lifting platform to support frequent movement between work areas. Mobility was essential for the customer’s daily maintenance schedule.
From our perspective, the main advantages were:
Easy relocation by one operator
Reduced downtime between tasks
Flexible use across indoor zones
We also emphasized that mobility depends on flat, clean ground conditions. Positioning the machine correctly helped the customer achieve stable and safe operation.

Reported advantages included:
Smooth and stable lifting
Easy operation for the daily staff
Clean appearance suitable for indoor areas
Low operating noise
The customer also confirmed that the platform performed best when used exactly within its design scope, which matched our original recommendation.
