The Authentication page lists the current certificates with validity dates; the list is updated when certificates are renewed or new ones are added.

What Testing Does Wuxi Rigid Perform?

Wuxi Rigid performs type testing, routine testing, and acceptance testing on its equipment, with the test records retained in the project's documentation pack. The test programme is matched to the destination standard and the customer's specifications.

Test type	Purpose	Frequency
Type test	Verify design meets standard	Once per design
Routine test	Verify each production unit meets specification	Every unit
Acceptance test	Verify the specific unit for the customer	Every shipment
Periodic test	Verify continued compliance	At defined intervals

Examples of specific tests:

Brake torque test: load the equipment to the test load, de-energize the motor, verify the brake holds for 5 minutes.

Overspeed trip test: drive the equipment past the rated speed, verify the safety lock trips.

Load test: load to 1.25× rated capacity, verify no permanent deformation.

NDT (non-destructive testing): ultrasonic or magnetic particle inspection of welds and critical components.

Electrical test: insulation resistance, earth continuity, hipot test.

Functional test: full operation cycle under load and no load.

Each test record is signed by the test engineer and is included in the documentation pack.

What Is the Manufacturing Capacity?

Wuxi Rigid operates a manufacturing facility in Wuxi with fabrication, machining, assembly, and testing capabilities. The facility's annual capacity is sufficient to support the standard product range plus custom-engineered equipment for major projects.

Capability	Description
Steel fabrication	Cutting, bending, welding of structural steel up to 50 mm thickness
Machining	CNC turning, milling, boring; capacity up to 2 m diameter
Heat treatment	Annealing, normalizing, through hardened
Surface treatment	Hot-dip galvanizing, zinc-rich primer, topcoat painting
Assembly	Mechanical, electrical, hydraulic
Testing	Load test, brake test, NDT, electrical test

The manufacturing capacity supports the standard product range with no extended lead time; custom-engineered equipment typically adds 4–10 weeks.

How Are Export Shipments Handled?

Export shipments are handled by Wuxi Rigid's export team, with containerized ocean shipping as the standard method. Each shipment includes the equipment, the Steel Transportation Box, and the documentation pack.

Export workflow:

Order confirmation. Wuxi Rigid confirms the order, the equipment specifications, and the destination.

Production. Wuxi Rigid manufactures the equipment and performs the routine tests.

Pre-shipment inspection. The customer or a third-party inspector witnesses the acceptance test.

Documentation. Wuxi Rigid prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, equipment certificates, and the operator manual in the destination language.

Packing. The equipment is packed in the Steel Transportation Box with internal fitments.

Shipping. The boxes are loaded into a 20-ft or 40-ft container and shipped to the destination port.

Customs clearance. The customer clears the shipment with the supporting documents.

Site delivery. The boxes are delivered to the site and stored until installation.

The export team coordinates with the customer's freight forwarder to schedule the shipment and to provide tracking information.

What Documentation Is Required for Export?

Export documentation includes commercial, regulatory, and logistics documents, packaged in the document tube of the Steel Transportation Box. Each document is signed and stamped where required.

Document	Purpose
Commercial invoice	Customs declaration, payment reference
Packing list	Contents and quantities
Certificate of origin	Customs preference documentation
Equipment certificates (CE, GB, etc.)	Regulatory compliance
Test reports	Quality assurance
Operator manual (in destination language)	Site reference
Spare parts list	Procurement reference
HS code classification	Customs tariff
Insurance certificate	Transit insurance

For certain destinations (e.g., Saudi Arabia, Russia, the EU), additional documents may be required: SABER certificates, EAC declarations, CE technical files, or notarized certificates of origin. Wuxi Rigid's export team prepares the documents based on the destination.

What Are the Common Export Compliance Issues?

Five compliance issues recur across export projects; each is preventable with the standard procedure.

Missing certificate. The destination standard's certificate is not in the documentation pack. The customs authority holds the shipment until the certificate is provided.

Wrong voltage. The equipment is supplied with a 380 V motor for a 480 V site. The equipment cannot be commissioned without a motor replacement.

Missing operator manual in destination language. The operator manual is in English only; the destination requires the local language. Commissioning is delayed until a translation is provided.

Wrong HS code. The HS code on the commercial invoice does not match the destination's classification. Customs re-classifies the shipment and applies a different duty rate.

Missing notarization. Some destinations require notarized certificates of origin or commercial invoices. The shipment is held until the documents are notarized.

Each issue is preventable by reviewing the destination's requirements with Wuxi Rigid's export team before the equipment is packed.

How Does Wuxi Rigid Support Installation and Commissioning?

Wuxi Rigid supports installation and commissioning with on-site engineer dispatch, remote engineering support, and detailed operator manuals. The level of support depends on the customer's requirements and the destination standard.

Support type	Coverage
On-site engineer	Installation supervision, commissioning, operator training
Remote engineering	Telephone and video support during installation
Operator manual	Detailed commissioning procedure, daily inspection, troubleshooting
Spare parts	Recommended spare parts list, on-site spare parts kit option
Warranty service	Replacement parts during the warranty period

The on-site engineer is dispatched for major projects, for first-time customers, and for installations in jurisdictions where the local engineer must witness the commissioning for regulatory sign-off.

What Is the Warranty and After-Sales Service?

Wuxi Rigid's standard warranty is 12 months from commissioning or 18 months from delivery, whichever comes first, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Extended warranty and service contracts are available on request.

Warranty coverage:

Replacement of defective parts during the warranty period.
