AI-Powered supplier vetting

SummaryThe supplier is a China-based limited trading company established in 2013, with 11 employees and products including truck fenders, engine valves, truck parts, and auto parts. It demonstrates professional technical R&D capability, sample/design-based and full customization services, and one R&D engineer; however, it does not provide 3D software design or an SDK. Customer complaints are handled through a clear procedure with records, but service-capability corrective-action procedures are undocumented. No supplier-management certifications are reported, and the company lacks a factory environmental impact assessment report. Production capability is not established because the supplier is identified as a trading company and no manufacturing capacity is provided. Financial credibility cannot be judged from the non-financially reportable year references alone. No customer cases are provided.

Supplier typeThe supplier is consistently identified as a trading company and limited company, located in Xinhua District, Shijiazhuang, China, with 11 employees. Its stated product scope covers truck and automotive parts, while no evidence indicates that it owns manufacturing operations.

CertificationsThe supplier-management certification field is explicitly recorded as NIL. This indicates no certification evidence is provided for supplier management systems.

After-Sales capabilityThe supplier has a clear customer-complaint handling procedure with followed records, supporting complaint-response capability. However, service-capability assessment and corrective/preventive-action procedures have no written procedures or records, so the overall service system is only partially evidenced.

R&D capabilityThe supplier is identified as a professional technical supplier, has one R&D engineer, launched new products in the past year, and provides solutions according to customer demand. Its limitations are the absence of an available SDK and no 3D software design service.

Customization capabilityThe supplier explicitly offers customization from samples, customization from designs, full customization, minor customization, and flexible customization. These repeated service listings provide direct evidence of broad customization capability, although 3D software design is not provided.

Product Q&A

Q:What is a hood support latch used for on heavy-duty trucks?

This combined assembly has two main functions. First, the steel pin on the vertical rubber arm locks the hood prop rod to hold the engine hood open safely during inspection and repair. Second, the thick rubber buffer block acts as a hood stop, absorbing impact when closing the hood, limiting over-travel and eliminating rattling noise while driving.

Q:Where is this hood support latch installed on the truck?

It mounts symmetrically (left and right sides) on the front cab frame panel, behind the headlights and above the radiator support. The galvanized metal base bolts directly to the cab front sheet metal. When the hood is lifted, the prop rod clips onto the built-in steel pin of the latch.

Q:What materials is this hood support latch made of?

1. The mounting base is thick yellow zinc-plated steel, anti-rust and adjustable via slotted holes. 2. The main body is high-density oil & heat-resistant molded industrial rubber, resistant to cracking, hardening and aging under engine heat, UV light and road salt. 3. A solid steel retaining pin is pre-installed for locking the hood prop rod.

Q:Does this part fit all American heavy-duty trucks?

It is an OEM replacement part compatible with International medium & heavy-duty cab-over trucks including DuraStar, 4300, 4400 series. It can also fit similar cab-over models from Kenworth and Peterbilt with matching mounting dimensions. Please check your OEM part number before purchasing.

Q:Are the slotted mounting holes adjustable?

Yes. The two elongated slots on the galvanized base allow horizontal position adjustment during installation, which compensates for minor frame assembly deviations and makes alignment much easier than fixed-hole brackets.
