Ways to tell them apart:
- Equipment is a collective noun and does not have a plural form, so never add an s to it.
- Think of equipment like furniture or luggage—all are singular with no plural version.

- Equipments is incorrect in standard English usage.
- When in doubt, use equipment for both singular and plural contexts.
