Yes, hangar equipments 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 £12,000 to £450,000, and most deals are written over 12-84 months with a deposit of around 10-20%. Decisions typically take 24–72 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 EligibilityHangar equipment qualifies for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the qualifying cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to the current annual limit. HP allows capital allowances on jacks, hoists and doors alike. Lease payments are fully deductible from profits.
Hangar equipment, jacks, hoists, tooling and hangar doors, is bought mainly by MRO providers, hangar operators and engineering contractors fitting out or renewing hangar space under agreements with airports and airlines, rather than by the airport itself owning the internal equipment. Replacement is generally driven by an MRO widening the aircraft types it is approved to work on, since jacks and tooling have to be rated for the specific type, or by hangar refurbishment and lease renewal. What actually gates entry to hangar-based maintenance work is the operator's engineering and airworthiness approvals, not simply owning jacks and hoists, and a lender will treat an approved MRO with an established customer base very differently to a start-up applying for the same tooling. A modest used market exists for jacks and hoists, mainly through specialist GSE and MRO equipment dealers.
Several of our 200+ lenders specialise in businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options exist. Checking your options here does not affect your credit score, because we do not run a credit search to match you. A lender will run their own checks only if you decide to apply.
