Overview

New, used and refurbished capital equipment, plus integrators, installers and commissioning specialists

Capital Equipment is Industrial Connected's marketplace for new, used and refurbished machinery - and the integrators, installers and commissioning specialists who get it running on your shop floor. One project, structured quotes from machine tool dealers, automation integrators, finishing-line builders, material handling specialists and packaging OEMs.

When to use
  • You're investing in a new machine, line or capital asset
  • You're scoping a refurbished, used, leased or rented alternative
  • You need an integrator, installer or commissioning specialist alongside the equipment
  • You want training, calibration, validation or a maintenance package quoted up front
What to look for
  • UK presence for installation, servicing and spares
  • Demo facility or reference sites you can visit
  • Lead time, payment terms and finance options (lease, HP, rental)
  • Training, commissioning, calibration and after-sales scope
Buying guide

How to buy new equipment purchase

Capital equipment is the highest-value, longest-lived purchase on the shop floor. Buying well means rigour on specification, total cost and installation, not just headline price.

  1. 01
    Write a User Requirements Specification

    Process capability, cycle time, product range, footprint, services required, environmental constraints and safety requirements. The URS is the contract baseline.

  2. 02
    Decide new, refurbished, used, lease or rent

    Each has different capital, lead-time, warranty and support implications. Get all options quoted on the same project.

  3. 03
    Build a total-cost-of-ownership model

    Capital plus install plus tooling plus training plus consumables plus service plus energy over the asset life, not just the sticker price.

  4. 04
    Plan installation and commissioning

    Foundations, services, lifting, access, training, FAT, SAT, validation and ramp-to-rate, all sequenced and budgeted.

  5. 05
    Lock service and spares from day one

    Service contract, response SLA, spares package, software updates and end-of-life position should be in the PO, not a later negotiation.

Supplier checklist

How to vet a new equipment purchase supplier

Run through this checklist with any candidate supplier before awarding work. If they cannot evidence an item, treat it as a risk to manage, not an assumption to ignore.

  • UK presence for installation, servicing and spares, not just sales.
  • Demo facility or live reference sites accessible to your team.
  • Lead time and payment / finance options aligned to your capital plan.
  • Training, commissioning, calibration and validation scope detailed in the proposal.
  • Documented service contract options with response SLAs.
  • Quality system certified and audited (ISO 9001 minimum, sector standards where required).
  • Two reference customers in your sector willing to take a call.
  • Insurance, IP and NDA position confirmed in writing before sharing drawings or data.
  • Commercial terms agreed: payment terms, currency, retention, delivery Incoterms.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes buyers make in New Equipment Purchase

The avoidable issues we see most often, with the one-line fix that prevents them.

Buying on capital price alone.
Fix: Use a TCO model that includes training, spares, consumables and energy over the asset life.
Underestimating site preparation.
Fix: Survey foundations, power, water and access early; site prep can be a meaningful share of project cost.
Skipping FAT to save time.
Fix: Always FAT before shipment; site fixes are far more expensive than factory fixes.
Treating training as optional.
Fix: Budget operator and maintenance training for first shift, second shift and on the anniversary.
No service contract from day one.
Fix: Sign the service contract with the PO so warranty and service transition cleanly.

Buyer FAQs

Buyer FAQs for New Equipment Purchase

Should I buy new, refurbished, used, leased or rented?

Refurbished and used can save 30 to 60% on capital cost but lead times, warranty and parts availability vary. Lease/finance and rental options preserve cash and shift risk. State your preference (or 'no preference') on the project and let suppliers propose the best route.

Is installation usually included?

Most UK dealers will quote installation and commissioning as a separate line - confirm site requirements (power, foundations, services) upfront so quotes are comparable. You can also pick a dedicated installer or commissioning specialist via the same project.

How do I compare quotes fairly?

Post a single project on Industrial Connected with purchase type, budget band and related services required (installation, commissioning, training, validation, etc.) - suppliers reply in a structured format you can compare side-by-side.
