The company has been in existence since 2016.

However, I think it is a trading company that handles sales on behalf of others and does not have its own physical stock.
It must have a portfolio of materials to sell to other companies.
Purchasing remotely without seeing the materials seems a bit risky to me....

Can we trust this site for purchasing public works equipment
Knowing that it requires payment by bank transfer at the time of ordering?

Hello

Partial review: this company is indeed registered with the UK Companies House:

Make sure you are dealing with them and not with something fraudulent! (I've seen it before..). Look up the phone number in a directory and take your big phone to check..

As for the rest: seriousness, quality, responsiveness, after-sales service, we don't know anything..

In case of a problem, you'll need to go to a UK court, the rules depend heavily on Common Law, which is different from the Codes of continental Europe..

Why not look in Belgium, Germany (Luxembourg, Italy..)??

I’m feeling uncertain about this UK purchase..

Certainly... But we should go see for ourselves... The attractive price probably has an explanation...

Personally interesting or not.. you always have to check the equipment before paying....
Of course you won't come back with it under your arm.. but go see it ...

And be careful of the standards.. in terms of public works I believe there are specific standards for each country regarding equipment and employee safety...
