an extensive pool of testing equipment

[kvvic]

Dear all,

Could you please help me with the following sentence:

The organization maintains an extensive pool of testing equipment for various applications.

Does it sound natural to you?

Without context, I would interpret that to mean that the company maintains testing equipment which is held in a store and made available as required to those who need it.

Yes, as a sentence it makes sense.

I was trying to say that the organization (a research institution) owns a large number of various testing machines and experimental facilities (like a fleet of cars, but the word fleet seems to me unsuitable here) and is ready (that is why I used maintains) to conduct different types of testing with this equipment for those who are interested.
Does the word pool fit here?
Could you please suggest any better alternatives?

"Pool" works for me.

Thanks a lot for your help, Anglika and Raymott.
