Some portable equipment is kept in stock and is ready for shipment upon receiving your order, however, the majority of our quality testing equipment from NextGen Material Testing, Inc. is manufactured-to-order. For this reason, we provide approximate lead times based on the ordered equipment and the current levels of production. Occasionally, there are exceptions to the rule where orders can be expedited. This is by special request and must be discussed with our Product Consultants prior to ordering. There can be an expediting fee which will be detailed case by case.
