Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the refurbishment process typically take?
The time-scale varies per each asset and on the customer’s requirement(s).
Can you refurbish equipment from any manufacturer?
Yes, we can. Adapt GSE have developed strong relationships with most OEMs in the market, allowing our engineering team access to OEM expertise, spare parts and product manuals.
Is refurbishment always more cost-effective than buying new?
Yes, it is proven to be more cost-effective than buying new when refurbishment is conducted to our high standards. More importantly, with sustainability a priority, we don’t only reduce initial cost, but we meet the growing demand from the aviation sector for environmentally-friendly products.
Do you offer on-site refurbishment services?
No, for the simple fact that to carry out an extensive refurbishment, we require specialised tooling and our engineers’ expertise.
How does refurbishment affect equipment warranties?
By the time the equipment arrives with us for refurbishment, OEM warranty has normally lapsed. We do, however, refurbish the equipment in line with the OEMs’ guidelines.
