Leasing or buying refurbished test equipment can save on costs

4 May 2005 Test & Measurement

Anyone involved in the fields of electronics, telecommunications, networking, manufacturing or any other industry where test equipment is used to monitor the health of wealth-creating processes, would probably be looking for cost-effective alternatives to the traditional, budget-draining approach of buying new test equipment.

But, what if high quality test equipment could be acquired at a fraction of the cost of its new counterpart, or perhaps the same equipment could be rented as and when it is needed and only for as long as required?

Coral-i says that the initiatives of its Sales and Rental division are designed to offer customers:

* Optimised budget usage with no sacrifice in test equipment quality or availability.

* Rapid sourcing of equipment from a large international network.

* The use of the correct, serviced and calibrated equipment at any time to fit project requirements.

All the test equipment is refurbished to the highest quality standards and is fully tested, says the company. Full SANAS calibration certificate to guaranteed manufacturer's specification is supplied if required. All standard accessories and operator's manuals are supplied with equipment whenever possible. With the company's high quality service and calibration facility, it guarantees all of its products. All of the equipment is put through an intensive refurbishment process to ensure reliability and overall quality. Coral-i has a highly skilled and competent technical team.

The company's rental program is designed to ease the burden of high capital expenditure costs, by providing high quality electronic test equipment for short, medium and long-term periods at cost-effective pricing. Purchasing test equipment can be an expensive exercise, especially with the rapid changes in technology, which makes renting a cost-saving option.

There are many good reasons to rent test equipment. A few are: cost management; project work; keeping up with new technology; and no maintenance costs.
