They’re also expensive and specialist, which is why the right lender matters.

Why vac ex

Digging safely around live services

Vacuum excavation removes soil with high-powered suction instead of a bucket, so crews can expose gas mains, water pipes and cables with far less risk of a strike. That’s why more utility and civils contracts now call for it.

  • Safer digging around buried services
  • Smaller, neater excavations with less reinstatement
  • Spoil removed straight into the truck

Vacuum Excavator Finance FAQs

Can I finance a used vacuum excavator?

Yes. Lenders look at the age, hours and condition of the machine, and its value at the end of the agreement.

Can I finance an imported vac ex?

Often, yes. Many vacuum excavators are built in Europe. Lenders will check the supplier and the paperwork.

Can a contract help me get finance?

Yes. A framework or contract shows lenders where the machine’s income will come from.

Do you finance hire fleets?

Yes. We arrange finance for hire companies adding vacuum excavators to their fleet.

Can I raise cash against a vac ex I own?

Yes. Asset refinance releases cash from machines you already own.

Are you a lender?

No. Boost Finance is a credit broker, not a lender. Boost Asset Finance Ltd is an Appointed Representative of EFT Finance Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 667290). We work with a panel of lenders to find the right finance for you.
