• What Do We Use Cookies For?

  Adam Equipment websites use first-party cookies (created by our site) to store your preferences and help maintain your visit. In instances where log-in facilities are provided, cookies will also be used to maintain your logged-in status. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. There is no personal data stored in any of the website cookies.

Browsers

With the advancement of web technology over recent years we have made the decision to focus less on historical browsers and put more effort into using HTML 5 and CSS3. To this end some older browsers, including Internet Explorer less than version 9 may not function fully or display as expected. We do make efforts to make this website functional in Internet Explorer 8 for legacy Windows XP users but it may be that not all features are available. We recommend using a self-updating browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Safari.

We also endeavour to make our websites suitable for viewing on smaller screens and mobile devices. However, if you do experience any display problems or other technical issues please let us know so we can fix the problem quickly to improve the experience for everyone.

Manuals and Brochures Format

Most of our product manuals and brochures are available as downloads from this website. The publicly distributed format is .pdf . There are a number of free pdf file readers available for most operating systems, including Android and iOS for mobile.

Languages

For the benefit of our users whose first language is not English we are aiming to provide our information in a number of different languages, appropriate for the geographic region of the site. We do try hard to make sure that the translations, grammar, syntax and contexts are correct but we may make some mistakes. If you spot an error in translation please let us know so that we may correct the mistake for the benefit of our users around the globe.
