## Tools (5)

- `create_quote_request`: Create a real quote request in the MaterialHandling.com sales system. A human equipment specialist prices it (volume pricing + freight) and emails the finished quote, usually within one business day. Use when the customer wants formal/volume pricing. Requires the customer's real name and email — always confirm these with the customer before calling. Returns the quote number. Rate-limited to 5/hour.
- `get_categories`: The product category tree with live product counts. Category paths can be browsed on the website at https://materialhandling.com/{path}/.
- `get_freight_estimate`: Live LTL freight rates to a US ZIP code for one or more products — real carrier pricing (the same engine the website checkout uses). Returns carrier, service, transit days and price. Rate-limited to 10 calls/hour. Items that qualify for parcel (UPS) shipping or that need a custom quote are flagged.
- `get_product`: Full detail for one product by SKU, model number (MPN) or product slug: pricing (incl. volume tiers), stock status, lead time in business days, full manufacturer specifications, images and product page URL.
- `search_products`: Search the MaterialHandling.com catalog (30,000+ industrial products: lift tables, pallet jacks, casters, dock equipment, hoists, cranes, carts, shelving and more from Vestil, Valley Craft and other brands). Returns name, SKU, price, availability, lead time (business days) and product URL. Use get_product for full specs.
