Mobile crushers cost from around £200,000 for a wheeled crushing plant to £480,000 for a large impact crusher, and financing is standard practice across the sector.
Yes, crushers 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 £150,000 to £600,000, 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 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.
Mobile crushers are bought by demolition contractors, quarry operators and construction and demolition waste recyclers who process material in high enough volume to justify the investment, since a crusher's value comes from turning waste concrete, rock or rubble into saleable aggregate. Financing is close to standard in this sector given the cost involved, with repayments typically covered by the margin on processed aggregate sales. Replacement is driven by wear to the crushing chamber, jaw plates or blow bars, and the used market is strong because these wearing parts are simple to replace, meaning an older crusher chassis can remain productive for many years.
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.
