Spread the cost of a robot take-off from £8,000 to £120,000+ with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, robot take offs 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 £8,000 to £120,000, and most deals are written over 12–60 months with a deposit of around 0–15%. 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.

This equipment qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance, so a purchase or HP agreement can be deducted against taxable profit in the year of purchase. Finance lease payments are typically deductible in full from profit as they are paid, and refinancing an owned asset does not change its capital allowances position.
Robot take-off systems are bought by moulders removing labour from part extraction, degating or simple downstream assembly, and are usually specified alongside a new press for a job that is either high volume or needs consistent, repeatable handling that a manual operator cannot reliably match cycle after cycle. A pneumatic sprue-picker is typically bought as a direct add-on to a new press order, while a 6-axis articulated robot doing insert placement or assembly is more often justified against a specific, higher-value contract. Replacement or upgrade is usually driven by a new job needing a different reach, payload or degree of freedom than the existing robot offers, rather than the robot wearing out; robot mechanics are durable and well supported by the major automation builders.
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.
