Before COVID-19 blew up everyone’s supply chain, built-to-order training systems from nearly everyone had lead times of 10-12 WEEKS. In the aftermath of the pandemic, we saw that balloon to 10-12 MONTHS. Over the past year, our partners have gone to great lengths to reduce lead times, and most of our products are back down to around 14-16 weeks. But some products include parts that are still very hard to get – some of ConsuLab’s engine trainers still have 10+ month lead times, for example.

While an influx of orders may increase lead times across the board, here’s a sampling of systems that currently have the best lead times:
