Radial stacking conveyors for quarry and recycling stockpiles cost from around £40,000 for a short static stacker to £140,000 for a long-reach mobile radial stacker, usually built to order by UK suppliers such as QMS or Parnaby Cyclones.
Yes, conveyor stackers 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 £40,000 to £140,000, 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.

A conveyor stacker 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 stacker 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.
Stacking conveyors are bought by quarries, sand and gravel operators and recycling yards that need to build stockpiles without repeatedly repositioning a wheel loader, and UK suppliers such as QMS and Parnaby Cyclones typically build each stacker to the site's reach, height and throughput requirements. Financing is common because a stacker directly reduces loader hours and site congestion, which is straightforward to set against the finance cost. Replacement is driven by wear to the belt, idlers and drive rather than the frame, and a steady used market exists since a stacker is simple to relocate and re-commission on a different site.
Some specialist lenders consider businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options may be available. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
