We have outfitted two labs with repurposed equipment that we purchased from Rankin. When there has been a problem with any of the equipment, it has been taken care of quickly. I'm not familiar with the other companies mentioned, but would recommend Rankin for your equipment needs. Perhaps you could even work out a deal on the shipping all the way North to Alaska?? Happy hunting.
