FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What is the most commonly financed vehicle for scaffolding firms?
The flatbed rigid with HIAB (crane arm) is the most common - typically a 7.5t-18t DAF, MAN or Mercedes chassis. The crane arm value is included in the financed amount.
Can I finance a HIAB lorry for scaffolding use?
Yes. HIAB-equipped flatbeds and crane lorries are readily financeable. Lenders understand the crane arm as an integral part of the asset.
Do I need a CPCS card to finance a scaffolding lorry?
No licence or certification is required to finance the vehicle. However, operators must hold appropriate scaffolding contractor insurance and the driver must hold a relevant HGV licence.
Can a new scaffolding business access vehicle finance?
Yes. Start-ups with contracts in place and a sufficient deposit (typically 20-25%) can access finance. We work with lenders who specialise in new construction sector businesses.
How many vehicles do scaffolding firms typically finance at once?
Most enquiries are for 1-5 vehicles. We can arrange individual deals or block facilities for larger scaffolding contractors.
