An ITI lab equipment list becomes useful when each item is tied to a trade practical, a sanctioned unit, a trainee group and a verifiable specification. A list of machines alone cannot show whether students can complete the required work or whether two supplier quotations include the same scope.
This guide helps ITI principals, vocational-training centres and procurement teams prepare a trade-wise workshop requirement. Use it with the current official syllabus and equipment schedule; the examples below are planning categories, not an affiliation checklist or a promise that every item is in Scientico's catalogue.
Equipment mentioned in this guide
Review the product information, specifications and model before requesting a quotation.
PLC Trainer with Applications (Fatek Based) | NexuMation-56
The PLC Trainer with Applications (Fatek Based) NexuMation-56 is a comprehensive, application-integrated PLC training unit built around the Fatek FBs-24MAT for hands-on automation education in engineering laboratories. This PLC trainer with applications provides on-board control circuits, sensors, and drivers for 13 built-in application modules covering traffic light, elevator, motor, temperature, and assembly line control, among others. With 14 digital inputs, 10 digital outputs, analog I/O, and USB PC interface, it delivers a fully self-contained training platform requiring no external application modules for core experiments.

Domestic Refrigeration Training Unit | PolarX – 564
The Domestic Refrigeration Training Unit PolarX - 564 enables basic investigations in the field of refrigeration. This Domestic Refrigeration Training Unit includes an evaporator, a capillary type expansion device, a condenser with fan, a closed refrigeration circuit with compressor, and a door for the refrigerated chamber.

The Directorate General of Training publishes trade details and syllabus links through its official Craftsmen Training Scheme trade directory. Check the applicable trade, version and unit or batch information there before setting quantities. Retain the source document with the procurement file so reviewers can trace each requirement.
Do not turn a generic 60-trainee example into a standard equipment quantity. Record sanctioned units, shifts, simultaneous practical groups and existing usable equipment separately. A machine shared between batches and a hand tool issued to an individual trainee require different quantity decisions.
Trade-wise equipment planning map
| Trade or workshop | Equipment families to check against the syllabus | Purchase question |
|---|---|---|
| Fitter | Fitting benches, vices, marking equipment, hand tools and measuring instruments | Which items are individually issued, shared by a group or held centrally? |
| Turner and Machinist | Machine tools, workholding, cutting tools, gauges and demonstration equipment | Does the offer include the accessories needed for the specified operations? |
| Welder | Welding equipment, workstations, inspection tools and protective equipment | Who supplies extraction, screening, electrical connections and approved cylinder storage? |
| Electrician and Wireman | Wiring practice, motor controls, measurement instruments and protection demonstrations | Can each required practical be carried out with the proposed panel and instrument arrangement? |
| Electronics Mechanic | Electronics trainers, measurement equipment, soldering and fault-finding facilities | Are circuit documentation, component access and required software included? |
| Mechanic Motor Vehicle | Engine and transmission teaching equipment, diagnostic tools and service tools | Is the requirement for a sectioned model, a working trainer or a service-workshop machine? |
| Refrigeration and Air Conditioning | Refrigeration trainers, service tools, measurement and refrigerant-handling equipment | Which learning tasks and safe service operations does the quoted arrangement support? |
| Draughtsman | Drawing facilities, computers, licensed software and relevant reference models | Are the software licence, seat count, peripherals and training responsibility explicit? |
| Plumber and Carpenter | Trade workbenches, hand tools, relevant machinery and installation practice facilities | What site services, guarding, dust control or workpiece supplies are outside the equipment price? |
These categories organise the review. The applicable official schedule and the institution's approved requirements determine the final items, specifications and quantities.
Separate teaching trainers from production and service machines
A teaching model can make a process visible without performing the full trade operation. A workshop machine may perform that operation without exposing the measurements or faults needed for instruction. Identify the job before comparing prices.
For example, the catalogue has a PLC Trainer with Applications (Fatek Based) | NexuMation-56 and a Domestic Refrigeration Training Unit | PolarX – 564. Review the published product records against the actual exercises. These examples are not a declaration of equivalence to a DGT schedule, and they do not establish a complete Electrician or RAC workshop package.
Use the engineering training equipment catalogue for candidate apparatus. For a broader vocational project, the TVET equipment supplier and exporter guide explains how to separate equipment supply from site services and acceptance responsibilities.
Build a BOQ that suppliers can answer line by line
Give each requirement a stable item number. Include the trade, syllabus reference, required practical, specification, unit, quantity and destination. Add columns for the proposed make/model, compliance response, included accessories, exclusions, documentation and delivery basis. Keep individual tool kits, shared equipment, capital machines and recurring consumables distinguishable.
A useful comparison row might read: Electrical control training station — attach the required circuit exercises; state proposed model, simultaneous trainee positions, supplied instruments, software if applicable, operating manual and demonstration scope. This is an example of information structure, not an equipment specification or a recommended quantity.
Ask bidders to mark deviations explicitly. A shorter delivery statement or a lower headline total does not resolve a missing instrument, unsupported practical or excluded installation task. The laboratory equipment RFQ checklist can help organise the supporting information.
Check workshop readiness before placing the order
Arrange a site review for floor space, access, electrical supply, earthing, ventilation, extraction, water, drainage and compressed air where relevant. Identify who designs and approves these services, who installs them and who verifies readiness before equipment arrives. Site safety and statutory requirements need competent local review.
Also plan storage, tool issue and return, replacement consumables and maintenance access. A purchase can be technically correct but unusable if the required utilities, workpieces, consumables or trained supervision are missing.
Agree an acceptance record for each equipment group
- Receipt: reconcile the delivered model, quantity, accessories and documents against the purchase order.
- Installation: record the installation boundary and required site-service checks.
- Demonstration: agree a practical that shows the specified teaching function, with staff present to record observations.
- Handover: identify manuals, applicable calibration or conformity records, training attendance and outstanding actions.
Do not assume that a catalogue badge, a model name or a supplier's general capability confirms every document required by your tender. Request evidence applicable to the offered equipment and written scope.
Send a trade-wise requirement for a matched quotation
Send the trade names, official schedule or BOQ, sanctioned units, required quantities, destination and purchasing deadline. Identify equipment already available and any mandatory technical or tender clauses. Scientico can review the requirement against its published range; the written offer should identify which lines are offered, excluded or require clarification.
