The equipment need

The manufacturer wanted to lease all of the robots for its production stations.

The transaction covered several machines, a total investment of $229,000–$458,000.

Paying cash for the fleet would have tied up a large share of the company's investment capacity.

Management wanted one financing solution rather than separate financing machine by machine.

  • Multi-station production robots
  • PLCs and control cabinets
  • Cell safety guarding and signaling

The support described in the project

Leaseworld combined all of the robots in a single equipment lease with a purchase option and a clear payment schedule.

The 60-month term matched the operating cycle of the automated equipment.

PLCs, control cabinets and cell safety systems were included in the financed scope.

Machines could be added to the contract as the rollout progressed, without submitting a full new application.

Agreement in principle was obtained quickly after the financial documents were submitted.

The reported operational outcome

The robot fleet was deployed with no cash outlay, with the investment spread over the term.

The company has a single point of contact and one consolidated payment schedule for all its machines.

Its bank borrowing capacity remained available for other projects.

The program remains open to future fleet expansion without starting over for each new machine.

Applying the experience to a new project

Use this case to identify the equipment, timing and ownership questions relevant to your own investment. The historical scope and term are specific to the project described. For a new U.S. project, identify the contracting business, installation state, supplier quote and preferred use period; available structures require a separate assessment.
