Core Quotation Basis&Pricing Factors
Steel prop quotes are formulated with scientific and reasonable pricing logic,and the final quotation is determined by integrating multiple core factors,with clear correspondence between each factor and the price standard,ensuring transparency and standardization of the quotation.The key pricing factors include the following aspects:
Product Core Specifications:The adjustable height range,tube diameter,wall thickness and load-bearing grade of light-duty,standard-duty and heavy-duty steel props are the basic basis for pricing,with higher specifications such as larger tube diameter,thicker wall thickness and higher load-bearing grade corresponding to the basic price adjustment.
Raw Material Grade:The selection of Q235/Q355 high-quality carbon steel as the core raw material,with the price linked to the market price of high-quality carbon steel pipe,ensuring the pricing matching the material performance and quality.
Surface Treatment Process:Different anti-corrosion treatment processes including electro-galvanizing,hot-dip galvanizing(zinc layer thickness≥80μm)and powder coating correspond to different processing costs,and the quotation is adjusted according to the process complexity and material consumption of the surface treatment.
Order Quantity&Batch:Quotation adopts a tiered pricing mode based on order quantity,with favorable unit prices for large-batch and bulk orders,and the price is appropriately adjusted according to the actual order quantity and production batch of customers.
Customization Requirements:Additional pricing is carried out for personalized customization needs such as non-standard specification customization,accessory matching customization,brand LOGO printing and packaging customization,based on the actual labor,mold and process costs generated by customization.
Shipping&Delivery Terms:The quotation is adjusted according to different international shipping terms including EXW,FOB,CIF and DDP,covering the costs of loading,transportation,ocean freight,insurance and customs clearance according to the terms agreed by both parties.
Delivery Cycle Requirement:For urgent orders with short delivery cycles,the quotation is appropriately adjusted according to the additional production and scheduling costs generated by rush production on the basis of the standard price.

Tiered Quotation Mode&Preferential Standards
In order to meet the procurement needs of global customers for different order quantities,steel prop quotations adopt a scientific tiered pricing mode,with tiered preferential unit prices according to the actual order quantity,and the preferential range is linked to the order scale,ensuring the cost performance of large-batch procurement.The standard tiered quotation preferential standards are as follows:
Standard Small Batch Order:Meeting the minimum order quantity of standard specifications,implementing the original unit price without additional preferential treatment,suitable for small-scale project procurement and sample trial orders.
Medium Batch Order:The order quantity is 2-5 times the minimum order quantity,giving a certain percentage of unit price discount on the basis of the original price,and waiving the small batch processing fee for partial non-standard customization.
Large Batch Order:The order quantity is more than 5 times the minimum order quantity,giving the maximum percentage of unit price discount,and providing free value-added services such as brand LOGO printing and standard packaging customization.
Long-Term Cooperation Order:For long-term cooperative customers with fixed procurement demand,formulate a special annual framework quotation,with a long-term preferential unit price,and flexibly adjust the delivery cycle and payment terms according to the actual procurement situation.
Quotation Adjustment&Validity Instructions
Steel prop quotations are formulated based on the current market situation and production costs,and the formal quotation document clearly marks the adjustment rules and validity period to ensure the rationality and standardization of the quotation implementation:
Quotation Validity:The standard valid period of the quotation is 15-30 calendar days from the quotation date.If the customer fails to confirm the order within the valid period,the quotation shall be re-issued according to the latest raw material price and market situation.
Price Adjustment Factors:If the market price of core raw materials(carbon steel pipe)changes by a certain percentage during the quotation valid period,or the international ocean freight and exchange rate fluctuate greatly,the quotation may be appropriately adjusted,and the adjusted quotation shall be re-issued to the customer for confirmation.
Order Confirmation Requirement:The official implementation of the quotation shall be based on the written confirmation(email/fax/official document)of the customer and the signing of the purchase contract,and the unconfirmed quotation shall not be used as the basis for transaction.
