Can you finance a shot blasting cabinet?

Yes, shot blasting cabinets 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 £3,000 to £80,000, 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.

Representative example

On a purchase price of £18,000: a 10% deposit of £1,800, then 48 monthly payments of £380 at 5.9% APR representative (fixed). Total amount payable £20,040, including the deposit. The rate you are offered depends on your business and the asset.

What buyers actually specify

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.

Machine or specification Guide price Type

Rotary table blast cabinet with reclaim £20,000 – £45,000 Automated Blast Cabinet (capacity class)

Tax benefits

Shot blasting cabinets qualify for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) and full expensing, letting you deduct the full cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to £1,000,000 under AIA for qualifying plant and machinery. HP agreements let you claim capital allowances as the asset sits on your balance sheet. Lease payments are generally deducted as an operating expense, spread over the lease term.

Market context

Shot blasting cabinets are bought by fabricators, foundries, powder coaters and restoration businesses that need to clean or profile metal surfaces before welding, coating or finishing. Smaller manual cabinets are often bought outright, while automated rotary table cabinets and walk-in blast rooms with media reclaim systems are more commonly financed given their higher cost and their role as one stage in a wider finishing line. Replacement is usually driven by a need for better media recovery to cut abrasive costs, or a larger chamber for bigger parts, rather than the cabinet shell itself wearing out, since these are robust steel enclosures.

Bad credit?

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I finance a used shot blasting cabinet?
Yes. Cabinets are durable steel enclosures and lenders will finance used ones, though the dust extraction, media reclaim and glove/liner condition are worth checking, since these wear parts affect both usability and ongoing running cost. Ask your supplier for maintenance records and, where relevant, logged running hours before you apply; this speeds up the credit decision and can improve the rate you are offered on a shot blasting cabinet.
Does finance cover extraction and media reclaim systems?
Yes, if itemised on the supplier's invoice. Dust extraction, cyclone media reclaim, and blast gun or wheel systems can normally be included in the finance alongside the cabinet itself. It is worth agreeing the full list of extras with your supplier in advance and getting everything itemised on one invoice, since anything added after the agreement is signed usually has to be paid for separately.
What power and extraction requirements does shot blasting have?
A shot blasting cabinet needs a three-phase supply to run the extraction fan and, on automated cabinets, the turntable and blast wheel motors, plus a compressed air supply if it uses a pressure or suction blast gun rather than a wheel system. Confirm compressed air capacity with your supplier. Getting this confirmed with your supplier and, where needed, an electrician before you order avoids a costly mismatch or last-minute upgrade once the equipment has already arrived on site.
How long does a shot blasting cabinet last against the finance term?
A well-maintained cabinet typically lasts 15 to 20 years, with liners, gloves and reclaim components being routine replacement items. A typical 3 to 6 year finance term covers a fraction of that working life. That headroom is why many buyers choose a shorter finance term deliberately, so they can reassess or upgrade once the agreement ends rather than being tied to one specification for the machine's entire working life.
