Financing Options for Soil Compactors / Wackers
Are you looking to possibly rent or try financing soil compactors for your business? The construction industry is such a large space, with a wide variety of niches and we’re finding it to be very common that different types of construction industries have used for this type of equipment. From land graders, driveway and masonry contractors, road and highway contractors, and even landscaping companies. If you’re in the market to finance a commercial compactor, you should know your options before you start shopping.
We First Capital Business Finance offers a wide selection of financing and leasing programs for both new and used equipment. Financing your equipment is an excellent solution to preserve your capital. Have you done your homework? Do you know if this equipment will be needed for a longer period of time? If the equipment is going to be used for a short term, it might be best to rent the equipment. Just remember, you need to have a better understanding of the amount of work that will be done with this compactor. Some of our previous clients have told us they have been renting their equipment for over a year! After adding up the rental payments and miscellaneous fees, they could have owned one outright if they had financed it! So, make sure you have a good understanding what you’ll be needing this equipment for, and approximately how often you’ll be needing to use it.
Knowing what type of Soil Compactors, you will need
At this point, you are most likely aware of the type of compactors you’re going to need. If you know the differences between the type of saws, you can skip this part. We are just going to list a few different types of concrete saws, and their purposes.
- Vibrating Plate Compactors are used for surface areas that might not
have the ability to use larger compactors, and these are typically used for packing down gravel or more coarse soil.
- Rammer Compactors are more handheld and can be operated with one operator. These are used for smaller surface areas as well, and look very similar to a jackhammer but with a flat plate on the bottom. Because of the small size, this is great for smaller and tight working conditions.
- Smooth Wheeled Rollers can come with a single front steel drum roller or tandem with rollers in the front and the back. These machines are larger and used for larger surface areas that need smoothing more than compacting. The soil type would typically be soils that don’t need much compaction.
- Vibratory Smooth Wheeled Rollers are operated with two smooth steel drum rollers which will vibrate to help compact the soils. These are known for having better performance which in the end will yield a better return on your investment.
I only listed a few examples of compactors, there are different variations and hopefully, by now you’ll know if you will be needing to purchase or rent one.

If you have come to the conclusion, you’ll need a longer-term solution for this equipment, now you’ll need to make the decision if you will be buying this outright or if you’ll need some help with financing it. Depending on the type you need, a compactor can range anywhere from $1,000 and can be upward to $500,000.
For the more costly compactors, you might want to consider financing as an option. This will allow you to preserve your cash and will allow you to make affordable monthly payments.
We offer both traditional and non-traditional financing programs for those who have good and bad credit. Our programs start with the minimum amount financed at $5,000 and the maximum going to $2,000,000. We also can finance new or used equipment. Depending on what type of compactor you’re in the market for, it’s a good idea to contact us first and get pre-approved prior to signing any agreements or putting any type of deposit down with the dealer or seller.

After you’ve called us, and spoke with one of our advisors these are the steps needed to get the ball moving in the right direction.
The process is fast and simple:
Step 1: Pick out your equipment: even if you have to shop for a few online, we’ll need to know approximately what your budget is. If you already have a quote or invoice from the dealer, that’ll work just as well. (Keep in mind, if you haven’t picked one out or if you don’t have the time to find one, get an idea on the price and we can work with that)
Step 2: Know your numbers, whether you’re looking for a used $5,000 Wacker Neuson walk-behind or a $350,000 brand new smooth drummed Cat, you’ll want to be sure to have a budget set for this added investment. Depending on the finance amount, typically you will not need to have a business plan, nor would you need financials or tax returns. But before making a purchase, it’s wise to run some numbers and projections on the benefits of adding this asset to your books.
Step 3: Get pre-approved for financing prior to signing any agreement or paying any deposit. The last thing you want to do is back yourself in the corner by paying a deposit for this equipment and not being able to find the financing. Of course, we’re able to secure financing for the majority of our clients, but there are still some instances a client might not be able to proceed with the financing terms that are presented to them. If you have a few minutes, you should call us at 888-565-6692 and speak to one of our advisors. They can walk you through the simple process and address any questions you might have. Our chat help desk is typically open from 5 am PST to 11 pm PST 7 days a week. Once you’ve found out what you are eligible for, now comes the fun part… Start shopping!
