Frequently asked questions
What is in the library?
Technical data and datasheets for marine and industrial equipment, organised by manufacturer, model and category, plus technical guides.
What if my model is missing?
Send manufacturer and model in the request form. We check whether we can locate or add the data. We cannot promise that every model can be documented.
How reliable are the data?
The library compiles data from manufacturer documentation and other sources. For safety-critical or contractual use, always confirm values against the current manufacturer document.
Can you send me the manual for my equipment?
We cannot promise manuals. Ask in the request and tell us the exact model; we check what is available.
How do I find a model from a nameplate?
Use the library search with manufacturer and model as shown on the nameplate. The technical guides explain how model codes are built for some manufacturers.
Can I get parts for the equipment I found?
Yes. See Spare parts sourcing or use the request form on the parts platform.
Is a request binding?
No. A request is not an order. We check it personally and come back by e-mail with an offer or with questions. Orders are subject to our General Terms of Business.
