The short answer
Ask for three separate answers before ordering an examination couch: where delivery ends, who completes any required assembly, and what documents and checks form the handover. DW-EC104 catalogue dimensions do not establish its delivery configuration or an included assembly service. Record the responsible party, included work and any extra charges in the accepted quotation.
A clinic can receive the correct couch and still have unfinished work before its responsible team accepts the equipment. The earlier DW-EC104 guide explains backrest and working-height specifications. This Oman guide focuses on the commercial scope between delivery and handover, so “supply” does not leave assembly, missing components or responsibility unanswered.
Define the endpoint of delivery
Ask whether the offer ends at the building entrance, a receiving store or the intended examination room. Provide the facility, city, floor and any access or unloading constraints. If unpacking, moving the couch within the facility or removing packaging matters to your order, list each task explicitly and ask whether it is included.
For DW-EC104, the catalogue lists product dimensions of 180 × 60 × 65 cm, packing dimensions of 182 × 65 × 17 cm and gross weight of 19 kg. These are useful enquiry references, but they do not define the final shipment or the service provided at its destination. Confirm the offered package and actual receiving arrangements.

Confirm the delivered condition before assigning assembly
Request a written answer: does this exact offer arrive assembled, partly assembled or as components? Ask what remains to be done at the facility and who is responsible. A shallow package dimension is not an assembly instruction, and the product name does not answer whether labour is included.
GIMA’s April 2025 manual for its 27401 / 27402 / 27444 couches explicitly identifies a disassembled supply condition, lists components and provides an assembly drawing. This is a different manufacturer’s example of useful documentation. Its parts, tools and procedure are not instructions for DW-EC104.
For DW-EC104, request the applicable manufacturer instructions and component list for the supplied version. The responsible facility team should review them before agreeing how any assembly will be performed. This guide does not specify tools, tightening values, staffing or an assembly sequence.

Compare responsibilities on separate quotation lines
Use a short scope table alongside the equipment specification. A supplier can mark a task included, separately priced, customer responsibility or not offered. Keep unanswered tasks visible rather than assuming a general delivery charge covers them.
| Stage | Question to resolve | Record in the order |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery | Where does the supplier leave the equipment? | Named receiving location and access conditions |
| Unpacking and components | Who checks the package against the supplied list? | Responsible party and discrepancy contact |
| Assembly | Who performs any required work? | Applicable instructions, scope and charges |
| Handover | What records and checks are provided? | Documents, outstanding items and facility acceptance process |

Reconcile accessories and documents before closing the handover
The DW-EC104 catalogue has conflicting descriptions of frame material, foam thickness and included paper-roll holders. Keep the confirmed configuration with the order, then compare the supplied components against that record. Do not close an accessory question simply because the main couch has arrived.
Ask for the instructions, identification information and any agreed assembly or inspection record. Note missing components, damage or differences from the accepted specification and identify the contact responsible for resolving them. The facility’s authorised team should decide when its acceptance process is complete.
Delivery receipt, completion of assembly and acceptance for use are different records. A signed delivery note is not a substitute for manufacturer instructions or the facility’s equipment checks. If demonstration or training is required, request it as an explicit item with its proposed scope; it is not established as an included GCC Stretchers service.

Send an Oman enquiry that identifies the unfinished work
Include DW-EC104, quantity, actual facility and city, receiving floor or access restrictions, and the intended room. For example: “Please quote [quantity] DW-EC104 couches for [facility, city]. Confirm the delivered condition and final package contents. State where delivery ends, who performs any required assembly, the applicable instructions, additional charges and the documents supplied at handover.”
Add any required paper-roll accessories, demonstration or packaging removal as separate questions. Request a proposed delivery and assembly schedule without treating either as guaranteed until agreed. Use the Oman enquiry route and place these details in the quote requirements field.
If assembly or another service is unavailable, have the responsible facility team resolve that gap before relying on an operational date. The purpose of the checklist is to make the offer reviewable, not to add services to the catalogue.

Buyer questions, answered
Does GCC Stretchers confirm assembly is included with DW-EC104?
The available catalogue does not establish an included assembly service. Ask for the delivered condition, responsible party, applicable instructions and any labour or other charges in the quotation.
Do the 17 cm packing dimensions prove that the couch is supplied as a kit?
No. The catalogue packing field is 182 × 65 × 17 cm, but it does not define the exact delivery configuration or assembly procedure. Request confirmation for the offered version.
Can another manufacturer’s couch instructions be used for DW-EC104?
Do not substitute them. Request the instructions and component list applicable to the exact supplied model. The GIMA manual cited here illustrates documentation detail, not DW-EC104 assembly.
Is a delivery signature the same as equipment acceptance?
Keep receipt, any assembly completion and facility acceptance separate. Record discrepancies and the agreed handover documents so the responsible team can apply its own acceptance process.
