Concrete pumps range from around £70,000 for a trailer-mounted pump to £450,000 for a large truck-mounted boom pump, almost always financed by concrete placement specialists.
Yes, concrete pumps are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £60,000 to £450,000, and most deals are written over 12-84 months with a deposit of around 10-20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

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 EligibilityA concrete pump is treated as plant and machinery for tax purposes, so it qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting a business deduct the full cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to the current £1,000,000 annual limit. Companies buying new, unused equipment may also qualify for full expensing, a 100% first-year deduction against Corporation Tax. These allowances apply where you own the asset, so they are available under a Hire Purchase agreement. Under a Finance Lease or Operating Lease you do not own the concrete pump outright, so allowances are not claimed directly; instead the payments are generally deducted as a business expense against profits. Always confirm treatment with your accountant before committing to a structure.
Concrete pumps are almost always bought by dedicated pumping contractors or large groundworks firms with enough recurring pour volume to keep a pump utilised, since the machine is only earning when it's on a job. Most contractors finance rather than buy outright given the cost, using the day-rate income from pumping jobs to cover repayments. Replacement is driven by wear on the boom, pipeline and wearing parts of the pumping unit, and truck-mounted boom pumps in particular hold their value well in the used market because certified boom inspections give buyers confidence in condition.
