Spread the cost of timber trailers from £8,000 to £60,000+ with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, timber trailers 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 £60,000, and most deals are written over 12–60 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. 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.

Timber trailers qualify for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the full cost from taxable profits in year one, up to £1,000,000. HP gives access to capital allowances; lease payments are fully deductible from farming or forestry contracting profits.
Timber trailers, typically fitted with a mounted crane to both load and extract logs, are bought by farms managing their own woodland and by forestry and firewood contractors extracting timber for others across multiple sites. Capacity is matched to typical extraction distance and tractor power rather than farm size generally, and the chassis, axles, and bunk take the most abuse from heavy, uneven loads, which tends to drive replacement more than age. The established Scandinavian and European manufacturers supplying the UK forestry and farm woodland market provide strong dealer and parts support, which helps sustain a steady used trade.
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.
