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 EligibilityPipe fusion machines generally qualify for the Annual Investment Allowance, so the cost can typically be set against taxable profits in the year of purchase. As portable welding equipment rather than anything fixed into a site, fusion machines are straightforward moveable plant for capital allowance purposes, whether bought new or used.
Pipe fusion machines are bought by water, gas and utility contractors joining polyethylene pipe on site, and by civil engineering contractors laying pressure pipe for new developments. Machine size is matched to the largest pipe diameter a contractor regularly works on, from a manual welder for smaller diameter connections through to a hydraulic machine capable of fusing large diameter mains. Where a machine is bought specifically to service a fixed-term pipe-laying contract, contractors often match the finance term to that contract length rather than the equipment's full working life. Replacement is generally driven by the hydraulic system, heater plate or clamps wearing beyond calibration tolerance, since a fusion machine's welds are typically subject to independent testing and a worn machine cannot reliably pass. A working used market exists for standard butt fusion machines, supporting refinance of existing kit.
