Why headline price misleadsOne quote may include runway, DSL, load test and installation while another excludes them. The cheapest number can become the most expensive project.

What normalization meansConvert every supplier quotation to the same technical scope, commercial basis and landed cost before deciding.

Best used after RFQFirst define the requirement, then compare vendor responses line by line.

Quick answer

A good quotation comparison normalizes scope first, then compares duty, component brands, structural supply, speeds, controls, installation, transport, testing, documentation, warranty, taxes and exclusions. The cheapest quote is only useful after hidden gaps are made visible.

Normalization method

How to compare EOT crane quotations fairly

Do not compare quotations only by total amount. First normalize the technical offer, project scope and commercial assumptions. Then add the cost or risk of missing items so every supplier is compared on the same basis.

1. Equalize technical scope

Check duty, component brands, structural weights, speeds, controls and safety devices. A lighter or cheaper offer is not equivalent unless the design basis is comparable.

2. Equalize site scope

Separate installation, transport, unloading, runway, electricals, DSL, testing and documentation. Convert exclusions into cost before ranking suppliers.

3. Equalize commercial basis

Compare taxes, currency, delivery terms, warranty, payment milestones and deviations. Hidden commercial assumptions often matter as much as the crane price.
