Select against the required work and evidence—not a brand list, market-size estimate or generic price range. This framework identifies the minimum questions for ten equipment categories.
Framework reviewed: 3 October 2026
| Category | Define before search | Verify before purchase |
|---|---|---|
| Machine tools | Material, part envelope, tolerance, throughput, operations and automation | Geometry test, spindle, axes, control support, tooling interface and safety functions |
| Construction equipment | Task, production target, ground conditions, reach, lift, transport and emissions | Structure, pins/bushes, hydraulics, undercarriage/tyres, engine data and safety systems |
| Agricultural machinery | Crop, acreage, soil, seasonal window, implements, road use and service network | Hours, drivetrain, hydraulics, PTO, electronics, wear parts and implement compatibility |
| Material handling | Load, centre of gravity, lift height, aisle, floor, shifts and environment | Mast/chains/forks, brakes, tyres, battery or engine, capacity plate and stability controls |
| Metalworking and fabrication | Material, thickness, force/power, accuracy, duty cycle and tooling | Frame, guides, tooling, guarding, controls, calibration and representative sample test |
| Food processing | Product, capacity, recipe, allergens, cleaning method, temperature and validation | Product-contact materials, hygienic design, seals, CIP, utilities and contamination history |
| Woodworking | Material, dimensions, finish, extraction, feed and production mix | Spindles, fences, cutters, dust extraction, guarding, controls and calibration |
| Plastics and rubber | Material, shot/extrusion size, pressure, temperature, mould/die and cycle | Screw/barrel, heaters, hydraulics, clamp, control, auxiliaries and sample cycle |
| Printing and packaging | Substrate, format, colours, speed, finishing, coding and changeover | Registration, rollers, web path, dryers, controls, tooling and production test |
| Mining and quarrying | Material, geology, production plan, duty, haul profile, environment and site rules | Structure, powertrain, wear system, tyres/tracks, fire suppression, telemetry and statutory controls |
Industries are ordered for your selected or detected market. Open the relevant section to see what to specify, inspect, collect and test.
Score only requirements that matter to the approved business case. Keep evidence beside each score and use hard pass/fail gates for safety, compliance, capacity, site fit and supportability. Do not let a low price compensate for failure of a mandatory gate.
