Specify the intended use
List the movements and users each station must support. For example, record the cable positions and included handles for a functional trainer, and the loading space and bench compatibility for a Smith machine.
BUYER GUIDE
Commercial strength equipment buying checklist
Use one comparison sheet for every supplier when buying commercial strength equipment. Record the exact model, included accessories, operating footprint and documentation before comparing bulk quotes.
Details
Request model-level documents
Request assembled and packed dimensions, frame and finish information, rated loads with supporting documents, and maintenance instructions. Match test reports to the configuration on the quote and note any missing fields.
Compare what the price includes
Use a separate column for each model's included plates or weight stack, handles, delivery, installation, service parts and warranty terms. A similar unit price may cover different equipment or different responsibilities.
Agree acceptance criteria
List finish, fasteners, adjustments and functional checks for the sample and shipment. Record which carton marks identify the model and which documents should arrive with the goods.
