  Take a look at the ROW_NUMBER() function

  WITH cteData AS (
    SELECT *, rn = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY {Fields to group by} ORDER BY {Fields that identify the order} DESC)
    FROM 
  )
  SELECT *
  FROM cteData
  where rn = 1;

  There is another common pattern to solving this question, to use a CROSS APPLY, e.g.

  ...
  FROM Items i
    CROSS APPLY (SELECT TOP 1 statuscode FROM ItemStatus s WHERE s.ItemCode = i.ItemCode ORDER BY StatusDate DESC)

  Which one works better will depend on your data, such as how many rows per Equipamento code you have in your table, and if there is an index on your table that matches the conditions you are grouping and sorting by.
