What Is the MOQ for Aokelang Floor Cleaning Machines?
Aokelang’s minimum order quantity is not stated on the public website which is standard for a B2B manufacturer that serves both single-unit buyers and container-volume distributors under different commercial arrangements.
For testing or initial purchase, seek suppliers with an MOQ of 1–10 units. As a manufacturer that serves global markets including the UK, USA, and Australia, Aokelang is well positioned to accommodate both ends of this spectrum individual facility purchases for a single machine as well as distributor bulk orders at container scale.
MOQ requirements can range from 1 unit to 1,000+ units depending on whether the order is a standard model or involves customisation. Price tiers typically drop 15–20% at order quantities of 50+ units.
Contact Aokelang directly at info@aokelang.com or via WhatsApp at +86-13665698381 to confirm MOQ and pricing tiers for your specific model requirements and order volume. Bringing a clear list of the models you’re interested in whether from the walk-behind scrubber range or the industrial sweeper range — will make the initial quote conversation significantly faster.
Can Aokelang Supply Private Label Machines for Distributors?
Yes. Custom manufacturing and private label solutions is explicitly listed as one of Aokelang’s core service offerings. Distributors looking to sell under their own brand can engage Aokelang for OEM arrangements covering branding, colour, and specification customisation.
Private label floor scrubber manufacturing is how cleaning equipment distributors put their own brand on machines they didn’t build. Instead of investing in a factory, R&D, and certifications, you partner with an OEM manufacturer they build the machines to your specifications including brush width, tank size, colour, and logo, and ship them ready for your market under your brand name.
Aokelang’s manufacturing facility in the Feidong Economic Development Zone, Hefei, Anhui Province produces both standard-model and OEM-customised machines in-house. This is a meaningful advantage over trading companies, which have no factory control over customisation or quality. For a full overview of Aokelang’s manufacturing capabilities, the commercial floor cleaning machines page covers the complete standard product range.
What Is the Production Lead Time From Order to Shipment?
Lead time is not published on the Aokelang website again, standard practice for a manufacturer where lead time varies by order volume and customisation level.
Chinese manufacturers typically quote a regular lead time of 30–45 days, but the real delivery time can be affected by order complexity, production scheduling, and current factory capacity. Always clarify with the manufacturer whether the quoted lead time covers production only, or the full process through to container loading.
As a practical guide for planning:
- Standard model, small quantity (1–5 units): typically 15–30 days
- Standard model, larger batch: typically 30–45 days
- Custom or modified specifications: 30–60 days for standard modifications; fully new designs can require 90–120 days from confirmation to shipment
Always add a 2–4 week buffer to your planned schedule to account for unforeseen circumstances — particularly relevant for seasonal stocking runs or facility opening timelines where a delay in equipment arrival has downstream consequences.
When requesting a quote, ask Aokelang specifically: “Does this lead time include production only, or the full process to container loading?” This prevents timeline mismatches at the delivery end.
What Shipping Options and Incoterms Does Aokelang Offer?
Aokelang provides global equipment supply to international buyers, and shipping arrangements are confirmed during the quote process rather than published on the website.
Understanding Incoterms before your first conversation with Aokelang’s logistics team will save significant time. The most common arrangements for Chinese equipment manufacturers are:
Under FOB (Free On Board), the manufacturer’s responsibility ends once goods cross the ship’s rail at the export port — all freight costs, insurance, and risks from that point are on the buyer. Under CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight), the manufacturer also pays for freight to your destination port and insurance. Under EXW (Ex Works), the manufacturer simply makes the goods ready at the factory — the buyer handles all transport, insurance, and customs clearance from there.
If you want zero logistics responsibility, DAP (Delivered at Place) — the most expensive option from the seller’s side — delivers goods directly to your warehouse. This works well for very small first orders or one-off shipments where managing freight forwarding is not practical.
For most distributors placing regular container orders, FOB is the standard starting point — it gives the buyer control over freight and insurance costs while the seller handles export clearance. Confirm your preferred Incoterm at the start of the quote conversation with Aokelang’s sales team.
What Export Documentation Comes With Each Aokelang Shipment?
Standard export documentation from Chinese manufacturers includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. For markets requiring compliance documentation, relevant CE certificates and test reports are expected given Aokelang’s active export operations to the UK, EU, USA, and Australia.
Manufacturers handle export documentation and coordinate with freight forwarders as part of the shipment process. That said, import documentation requirements vary by destination country — customs tariff classification, import duties, and any country-specific compliance certificates should be confirmed with your customs broker before placing an order. Request the specific documentation pack from Aokelang based on your country’s import requirements when finalising your purchase agreement.
The Pro Forma Invoice (PI) is particularly important. The Pro Forma Invoice is the formal quote that becomes your purchase contract. It must include product description, specifications, Incoterm, payment terms, lead time, and port details. Read every line — this is your legal protection if anything goes wrong.
Are Spare Parts and Consumables Available to International Buyers?
After-sales support and spare parts availability is one of Aokelang’s four stated core service pillars, with an emphasis on global reach and responsive parts access for international buyers.
Consumable replacement intervals to plan for:
- Brushes and scrubbing pads: every 40–60 operational hours
- Squeegee blades: every 3–6 months depending on use intensity
- Lead-acid batteries: every 2–3 years
- Lithium-ion batteries: every 5–7 years
International buyers should confirm spare parts lead times and local availability for their specific region at the time of ordering — this is standard due diligence for any equipment procurement involving an international supplier. For facilities where machine downtime is operationally costly, having a small buffer stock of high-turnover consumables (squeegee blades, brushes) on hand is standard practice. Aokelang’s guides on identifying common issues in cleaning machines and regular performance checks are useful for building an in-house maintenance routine that reduces the frequency of parts replacement.
Can Machines Be Configured for Different Voltage Specifications?
Yes. Voltage customisation for different export markets is standard practice for Chinese manufacturers exporting globally. Common configurations include 110V/60Hz for North America, 220–240V/50Hz for Europe, Australia, and the UK, and other regional variants as required.
Always confirm after-sales support, warranty, and local service compatibility for your target market before finalising your order. Voltage specification should be confirmed in writing at the time of ordering not assumed and included explicitly in the Pro Forma Invoice to avoid any mismatch at delivery.
Can I Mix Different Machine Models in One Container Order?
Generally yes. Most manufacturers accommodate mixed-model container orders for distributors building out a product range. A container combining, for example, several units of the Aokelang X2 Walk-Behind Scrubber, the D4Z Battery Walk-Behind, and the D6 Ride-On Scrubber is a typical distributor stocking order. Confirm model mix, container loading configuration, and any minimum per-model quantities with Aokelang’s logistics team based on your specific order composition.
What Are the Turning Radius Specifications for Aokelang Ride-On Scrubbers?
Turning radius varies by model. Compact ride-on models are designed for standard warehouse racking aisles — typically 2–3 metres wide while larger industrial ride-on models require wider turning clearance and are better suited to open floor areas without tight aisle constraints.
The Aokelang D6 Ride-On Scrubber is the more compact ride-on option in the range, while the D7 Industrial Ride-On and D8 Commercial Ride-On are built for larger open-floor applications. The DX6 and X5 Automatic Ride-On offer additional configurations for facilities with specific coverage and automation requirements.
For exact turning radius specifications per model, request the technical datasheet directly from Aokelang’s sales team. If your facility has tight aisles or constrained turning areas, sharing a simple floor plan sketch during the initial enquiry helps Aokelang recommend the correct model for your layout. Aokelang’s guide on how to choose a floor scrubber covers the size and layout decision in practical detail.
What Are the Payment Terms for Aokelang Orders?
Payment terms are negotiated during the quote process. Secure, milestone-based payment terms are the standard approach — typically a 30% deposit to confirm the order and 70% balance before shipment. This structure protects both parties and is the industry norm for Chinese equipment manufacturers.
Lock your terms — Incoterm, payment structure, and lead time — before negotiating unit price. Once you have agreed on terms, then negotiate price. Skipping this order leads to ambiguity in the final contract. Common payment methods include T/T (bank transfer) and L/C (letter of credit) — confirm which Aokelang accepts for your order size at the quotation stage.
