Coating Line Finance: Making Capital Equipment Affordable

Graeme Thomas

Overcoming the Capital Barrier

For many timber processors, the decision to automate their coating line isn't about whether it makes sense — the throughput, quality, and labour savings are clear. The barrier is capital: committing a significant lump sum to a single piece of equipment.

Equipment finance removes this barrier by spreading the cost across manageable weekly or monthly payments, often from day one of ownership. The coating line starts generating return immediately, while the payments come from existing cash flow rather than reserves.
