Piling Rig Finance
Finance for CFA, rotary bored, and driven piling rigs. Bauer, Liebherr LB, Soilmec, and Casagrande rigs funded on hire purchase or finance lease from specialist lenders who understand geotechnical asset values.
The right structure for every piling rig requirement
CFA Piling Rig Finance
Continuous Flight Auger piling rigs from Bauer BG series, Liebherr LB series, and Soilmec SR series. The most common type in UK ground engineering. Finance for single rigs and fleet additions.
Rotary Bored Piling Finance
Large-diameter rotary bored piling rigs for major infrastructure projects. High-value assets requiring specialist lenders with ground engineering sector knowledge.
Driven Piling Equipment Finance
Sheet pile driving equipment, hydraulic hammers, and vibratory drivers. Finance for complete driven piling packages alongside the rig.
Hire Purchase
Own the piling rig at the end of the term. Capital allowances claimable. Fixed payments over 5-7 years - the standard structure for ground engineering contractors building their owned fleet.
Finance Lease
Lower monthly cost than hire purchase. Flexible end-of-term options. Well suited to piling contractors whose utilisation supports a lease structure over ownership.
Refinance & Working Capital
Release capital from piling rigs already owned. Sale and leaseback of existing rigs frees capital for working capital, bond requirements, or fleet expansion while retaining operational use.
How it works
Rig specification
Piling type (CFA, rotary, driven), manufacturer, model, year, maximum torque/depth, and current condition. We assess lender appetite immediately.
Specialist lender sourcing
Piling rigs require lenders with ground engineering sector knowledge. We approach the right panel members - not generic plant funders.
Application
Piling rig finance is assessed on asset value, operator contracts, and sector experience. Ground engineering contractors with project pipelines are strong applications.
Settlement
We settle directly with the dealer or manufacturer. Complex title documentation for high-value piling rigs managed as standard.

Frequently asked questions
What piling rig manufacturers can be financed?
Bauer, Liebherr, Soilmec, Casagrande, Junttan, ABI, and other major ground engineering equipment manufacturers. New and used rigs from established operators.
What is the typical advance rate on a piling rig?
Typically 80-85% of the open market value. A strong application with experienced operators and contracted work can access the higher end of the advance rate range.
Can new ground engineering companies get piling rig finance?
Yes - specialist lenders assess sector experience, operator background, and the project pipeline rather than just company age. A start-up with experienced directors and contracted projects is a viable application with a reasonable deposit.
Is ancillary equipment (leader, augers, tools) included in the facility?
In many cases yes - the full working package including leader systems, auger tooling, and ancillary plant can be included in the same facility as the base rig.
Can existing piling rigs be refinanced?
Yes - owned piling rigs with strong residual values can be sold and leased back or used as additional security. We arrange this for ground engineering contractors needing capital for growth.
