Machinery, tools and site equipment
The only group where we regularly advise against buying. If the machine will sit on site for two months, hire almost always beats owning it afterwards.

Standards
The standard in the BoQ decides what can and cannot be delivered.
Which standards prove conformity?
We check which standard is written into the contract documents and confirm in writing that what we propose meets it. Where the written requirement does not exist on the market in that form, we say so before ordering, not after delivery.
- Directive 2006/42/EC
- Machinery. Requires an EU declaration of conformity and instructions in the language of the country of use.
- BDS EN 12811
- Temporary works equipment — scaffolds.
- BDS EN 12812
- Falsework — performance requirements and general design.
- BDS EN 60745 / EN 62841
- Hand-held motor-operated electric tools — safety.
- Directive 2000/14/EC
- Noise emission by equipment for use outdoors.
Documents
A missing document is declared missing.
Which documents does the acceptance committee receive?
- EU declaration of conformity
- Operating manual in Bulgarian
- Technical inspection record for hired machinery
- Scaffold certificate and erection drawings
The documents arrive with the goods, organised line by line. We do not go looking for them once the committee asks.
Lead times
Indicative. A binding deadline is given only in a written quote.
Europe or Asia — which makes sense for this group?
Asia
Price and volume
- When it makes sense
- Applicable to tools and site equipment at volume. For machinery the European channel wins on service, parts and residual value.
