Crusher Cone Finance

Mobile cone crushers cost from around £165,000 for an entry-level unit such as a Powerscreen Metrotrak to £420,000 for a high-output production cone crusher, typically bought as a secondary stage after a jaw crusher.

Can you finance a crusher cone?

Yes, crusher cones 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 £165,000 to £420,000, 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.

What buyers actually specify

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.

Tax benefits

A cone crusher 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 crusher 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.

Market context

Cone crushers are usually the second stage in a quarry's crushing train, taking output already reduced by a jaw crusher and producing a finer, more consistent product for sale as graded aggregate. Because they typically sit downstream of a jaw crusher, buyers are established quarry and recycling operators expanding or upgrading an existing line rather than a business buying its first crusher. Financing is standard given the values involved, and replacement is driven by wear to the crushing chamber liners and the setting adjustment system rather than the chassis, with a strong international used market supporting resale.

Bad credit?

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.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a jaw crusher before financing a cone crusher?
Not strictly for the finance itself, a lender will assess a cone crusher as a standalone asset, but in practice cone crushers are almost always bought by operators who already run a jaw crusher or another primary breaker upstream, since a cone crusher isn't designed to take large, unreduced feed material. If you're building a crushing train from scratch, it's worth planning the whole line, and how you'll finance it, together with your supplier.
Can I finance a used cone crusher?
Yes. Lenders will check the condition of the crushing chamber liners and the setting adjustment system, since these wear fastest under sustained secondary crushing. A clean service history helps secure better terms, and because cone crushers are traded internationally, a well-maintained used machine retains strong resale value. Ask for evidence of servicing and, where one exists, any dealer or manufacturer warranty that transfers with the sale, since this can materially affect both the valuation a lender puts on the equipment and the rate you're offered.
What term suits a cone crusher's working life?
5 to 7 years is common, matched to how long the chassis and crushing head stay reliable under continuous secondary crushing. Getting the term broadly right matters more than chasing the lowest possible monthly payment, since a mismatch either strains cashflow early on or leaves you paying for a machine that has already become expensive to keep running. Your broker can talk this through against your own trading history and site circumstances before you commit to a particular structure.
Is a cone crusher eligible for Annual Investment Allowance?
Yes, a cone crusher qualifies as plant and machinery, so it's eligible for AIA up to the current annual limit under Hire Purchase, which matters given the scale of a typical cone crusher purchase. Leased crushers don't attract AIA, but the rental is usually deductible as a business expense instead. It's worth confirming treatment with your accountant at the point of purchase.
