Can you turn this into a clean, hierarchical e-commerce navigation taxonomy (L1, L2, L3) with filter recommendations for a tool and equipment site?
An e-commerce site dealing in heavy tools, plant, and groundwork machinery requires a structured hierarchy that balances user intent (contractors searching by task or material) with faceted search (power source, brand, blade size).

Global Facets to Implement Site-Wide
To prevent navigation fatigue in heavy equipment catalogs, these universal filters should persist across every Level 2 and Level 3 category:
- Power Type: Battery (Bare Tool), Battery (Kit with Charger/Batteries), Corded 110V (Site Safe), Corded 240V (Domestic/Workshop), Petrol (2-Stroke / 4-Stroke), Hydraulic, Pneumatic.
- Brand: Husqvarna, Stihl, Makita, Milwaukee, Belle Group, Norton Clipper, Husqvarna Construction, Pramac, DeWalt.
- Availability / Fulfillment: In Stock (Next-Day Delivery), Click & Collect, Special Order / Pallet Delivery (Oversized Goods).
- Price Bracket / VAT Toggle: Crucial for trade equipment sites—implement an instantaneous Inc. VAT / Ex. VAT switcher at the top of the category pages.
Key UX Recommendations for Equipment E-Commerce
- “Bare Unit” vs. “Kit” Badging: Clearly differentiate tools sold body-only versus complete packages (batteries, charger, case) via a prominent product-card toggle or badge.
- Compatibility / Fitment Finder: On “Parts & Consumables” (e.g., replacement blades or drive belts), place an interactive selector (Step 1: Select Brand → Step 2: Select Tool Model → Step 3: Show Matching Spares). Contractors prioritize zero-downtime over browsing.
- Direct Spec Badges on Grid Cards: Show critical operational specs directly on listing cards (e.g., Max Depth: 125mm, Weight: 9.4kg, Vibration Level: 2.5 m/s²) so trade buyers don’t have to open multiple tabs to verify site compliance.
