English term or phrase: 1ea.
Please provide the estimated cost of the following Forklifts:

Equipment Nº 200-MM-001 1ea. Forklift, 2 ton capacity
Equipment Nº 300-MM-001/002/003 3ea. Forklifts, 6 ton capacity

"ea" significa each aquí también? Me suena raro "3 each Forklifts". Yo lo entiendo como "3 Montacargas, 6 toneladas de capacidad cada uno"

Gracias por su ayuda.
