Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Check EligibilityCompressors, blowing heads and cable blowing trailers qualify for the Annual Investment Allowance, letting the cost be deducted from taxable profit in the year of purchase on a cash or HP deal. Lease payments are deductible in full as they're paid. Hose, ducting and lubricant consumed on each job are running costs and aren't usually part of the equipment finance agreement.
Cable and fibre blowing equipment is bought mainly by civils and telecoms installation contractors delivering duct and microduct builds for network operators, utility companies and altnets under fixed-term framework agreements. Because the contract that generates the work has a defined end date, many contractors match the finance term to that framework rather than to the working life of a compressor or blowing head, which typically runs for many years of continuous site use. A well-maintained blowing rig retains its value between frameworks, and there is a steady trade in used compressors and blowing heads as contractors' fleets expand and contract with the size of the current build programme.
