Can I finance a used press brake?

Used hydraulic and servo-electric press brakes are commonly financed. We request ram and cylinder condition, control generation, and tonnage so the machine can be valued, subject to underwriting.

Can tooling sets be included in the financing?

Punch and die tooling sets can usually be bundled when itemized on the same quote as the brake. Inclusion of tooling is determined during underwriting.

Can rigging and installation be financed?

Rigging, freight, foundation, and power hookup can often be bundled when itemized on the quote. Whether installation soft costs are included is reviewed during underwriting.

What term lengths are common for press brakes?

Terms are generally matched to the long useful life of a press brake, with newer machines supporting longer terms. Your specific term is determined during underwriting.

Financing press brakes: the basics

RCR International Finance LLC arranges press brakes financing for businesses acquiring manufacturing equipment. Because the asset secures the deal, press brakes is one of the more accessible commercial structures, and it keeps working capital free for payroll, materials, and growth. Subject to underwriting and approval.

New press brakes include current CNC controls, back gauges, and warranty, which suits fabricators running tight-tolerance bending. Used hydraulic and servo brakes are widely financed and are evaluated on ram and cylinder condition, control generation, and tonnage. Both new and used purchases are subject to underwriting and approval.

A loan builds ownership and equity in the press brake, fitting fabricators keeping the machine for many years. A lease can lower upfront cost and ease upgrades to higher tonnage or newer controls. The right structure depends on production volume, tax planning, and retention plans.

Loan vs lease: which fits this asset?

Both options finance press brakes, the right choice depends on how long you keep the asset and whether ownership or lower payments matters more.

Equipment Loan

Build ownership

You own the equipment outright at the end of the term
Builds equity in the asset as you pay it down
Best for equipment with a long, productive useful life
Payments are typically higher than a comparable lease

Equipment Lease

Lower payments, flexibility

Lower monthly payments to preserve cash flow
Flexibility to upgrade, renew, or return at term end
Best for assets you replace or upgrade often
End-of-term purchase options may be available

Soft costs you can often include

Financing frequently covers more than the sticker price, so the asset is working from day one.

Rigging, freight, and machine placement

Roll rigging, freight, and machine placement into the financed amount where the structure allows.

Foundation, leveling, and power hookup
