Yes, high reach demolitions 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 £550,000, and most deals are written over 36-84 months with a deposit of around 15-20%. Decisions typically take 3–5 working days. 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 EligibilityHigh reach demolition excavators are plant and machinery and qualify for capital allowances in the ordinary way. UK specialists such as Kocurek typically convert an existing base excavator with a telescopic or fixed high reach boom rather than building a bespoke machine from scratch, and suppliers will often value and quote the base machine and the boom conversion separately. It is worth asking your accountant whether itemising the base machine and conversion separately on your finance agreement makes a practical difference to how the allowances are tracked, particularly if you might later separate the two, for example replacing the base machine while reusing a boom conversion.
High reach demolition excavators are bought by demolition contractors working on tall structures where a ground-level excavator or a demolition robot cannot reach the top, such as multi-storey buildings, chimneys, and industrial structures being taken down in a controlled, top-down sequence. The safety driver is similar to demolition robots and shotcrete robotic sprayers: keeping the operator and the point of demolition contact well clear of a falling or unstable structure, using boom reach rather than proximity to do the work, which is a working practice change rather than a claim about cost. Because UK specialists like Kocurek generally convert an existing large excavator base machine, working pin heights and reach vary considerably by base machine size, and the used market reflects both the base machine's own resale value and the specialist conversion work.
