No, the word "equipment" is a noun. A noun is the head of a noun phrase and can ordinarily be used in a noun phrase as subject of a sentence. An adjective can ordinarily be used to modify a noun. "Equipment" is a complex form derived by adding the suffix "-ment" to the verb "equip". That particular suffix, "-ment", forms nouns.
