Are the governors mechanical or electronic?
Do all the quotes include the same capacity fuel tank?
Is delivery to your premises included or excluded?
Are installation and rigging included or excluded?
Is the electrical connection included or excluded?
Will any building or alteration works be required and has this been included in the price?
How sure are you that the capacity specified is correct? Has a load assessment been done? Did the supplier visit your premises to acquaint himself with your specific requirements?
What service do you expect to receive from the supplier? Which suppliers offer a maintenance contract?
