Equipment Financing for Manufacturing

Manufacturers acquire equipment for contracts, efficiency, or capability. Elevex aligns payment structures to customer contracts, production milestones, and outcomes.

CNC machining center on a production floor — manufacturing equipment financing

How Elevex works

Forty seconds, start to funded.

The Reality

Equipment investment links directly to business outcomes — but traditional financing views it as generic acquisition. We align payments to contracts, milestones, and the outcomes the equipment creates.

Contract-Aligned Terms

Your customer signs a three-year contract; your equipment payments shouldn't run seven. Terms matched to contract duration with extend/upgrade/return options.

Milestone-Based Structures

Funding costs aligned to customer payment receipts across production ramp.

CapEx-to-OpEx Conversion

Structures that let your CFO expense rather than capitalize while keeping ownership benefits.

What You Get

  • Application-only to $1,000,000 with decisions in minutes
  • Structures designed around your actual business model
  • $50,000 to $5,000,000+ transaction capability
  • Direct relationship with seasoned finance professionals
  • New and used CNC machine financing — dealer, auction, or private-party
  • Contract-matched terms so equipment payments never outlive the revenue they serve

Equipment We Finance

New, used, dealer, or auction — application-only to $1,000,000, terms from 36 to 84 months.

Machining & Machine Tools

CNC machine financing for mills, lathes, and multi-axis centers — new and used machine tool financing including auction and dealer-rebuilt iron.

Fabrication & Forming

Press brakes, fiber lasers, plasma and waterjet cutting, stamping presses, and robotic welding cells with technology-cycle terms.

Plant & Material Handling

Forklift financing, air compressors, industrial automation and robotics, inspection and metrology — the whole production floor under one relationship.

Common Questions

Can I finance a used CNC machine?
Yes — used CNC machine financing is a core strength, whether the machine comes from a dealer, an auction, or another shop. We understand spindle-hour economics and machine-tool resale values, so good used iron gets priced fairly.
How do contract-aligned payment terms work?
If a customer contract runs three years, we can structure equipment payments over the same window — with extend, upgrade, or return options at the end instead of payments that outlive the revenue. See how the structures compare.
What size manufacturing deals do you handle?
From a $60K used lathe to a $5MM+ production line: application-only decisions to $1,000,000, and structured underwriting above it. Apply online with your equipment quote to start.
Does manufacturing equipment qualify for Section 179?
Most machinery and equipment placed in service this tax year qualifies for Section 179 expensing, financed or purchased outright — often a six-figure first-year deduction on one machine. Model it with our Section 179 calculator.

Equipment Financing Guides

Deep dives on the specific equipment this industry runs — rates, structures, and what we finance.

CNC Machine Financing

CNC machine financing for mills, lathes, and multi-axis centers — new and used machine tools with contract-aligned terms.

Robotics & Automation Financing

Finance robotic cells, cobots, and full integration — engineering and installation included — with payments sized against the labor the automation replaces.

Injection Molding Machine Financing

Finance injection molding presses from 50 to 3,000 tons with tooling, robots, and auxiliaries on one schedule — terms matched to the part program.

Press Brake & Fabrication Financing

Finance press brakes, shears, and plate rolls — machines with decades of service life and deep resale — on longer terms than most fab shops are offered.

Laser Cutter Financing

Finance fiber and CO2 laser cutting systems with end-of-term flexibility, so a 4kW machine today is not a stranded asset in a 12kW market.

Production Line Financing

Finance complete production lines with progress payments through installation and the first payment at commissioning — nothing earns until the whole line runs.

Assembly System Financing

Finance assembly cells, fixtures, and end-of-line test with terms that end when the contract does — and a written answer for what happens after.

Quality Control & Inspection Financing

Finance CMMs, scanners, and gauging with metrology software and calibration included — inspection equipment underwritten on the work it qualifies you for.

Welding Equipment Financing

Finance robotic welding cells, positioners, and fleets of small units as one schedule — the packages most credit boxes call too small to bother with.
