}🟡create_quote_request(email, name, company, phone, items, ...)
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.
