Explanation:
that they are tendering the equipment as collateral for the loan?

Just a thought!

to secure equipment


Explanation:
this seems a little bit muddled, but as I mentioned it is definitely a performance bond.

for the signing of an € 2.5 Million loan to secure equipment, to secure the proper performance of the contract

the other possibility is that the <equipos> are <teams>, meaning staff... look some more at the context....

to acquire equipment as collateral?


Explanation:
check your context if this is indeed the arrangement, it seems deceptively easy but if Pat and Marian can have different readings, we may all be completely off. If it appears on a CV and not a contract, it is possible the writer had his objects (what was being guaranteed) mixed up. It's a common native error.

Maria, no, but in the event of default, the equipment would pay part of the loan.

still doesn't make sense


Explanation:
See my comments re question 2, which I got to before this one.

Could it be as simple as an error in the Spanish? E.g. "con" rather than "en"? Then the equipment would serve as collateral for the loan.

with equipment as guarantee


Explanation:
This is my guess. There is need for more contextual information to be sure, but you could place equipment as collateral for a loan.

Still another twist: as guarantee for the equipment. Let\'s suppose the money is for guaranteeing and not for buying the equipment. Equipment could be on loan or lease for a particular project. Good luck!
