We all know heavy loads are difficult loads. Especially up and down stairs. It really takes it out on your back and joints. There is an element of risk and accidents can occur. Sometimes you need two, three or even four people to get the job done.

But the Hercules stairclimbers eliminate these issues. Quite simply, you can transport heavy loads quickly and safely up and down stairs, saving time, manpower and money and enabling your business to comply with OH & S regulations, as well as taking the strain off those backs!

These ingenious lifting devices have a long life span and customers come back after 10 years or more wanting to upgrade their equipment or buy additional machines.

But there is an alternative to making such a substantial financial outlay up front.

The good news is that you can own one of these machines for as little as a few dollars a day!

Hercules Complete Lifting Solutions has a long, established association with an equipment finance company, Alliance Equipment Finance, who will set up financing catering to your specific needs, be it a rental, lease or hire purchase option.

No capital outlay

Why not spread the cost of the equipment over the term of the agreement. Let the equipment generate income today and preserve your cash flow!

The finance option requires no initial capital expenditure. By conserving your capital, you can use these funds for the running of your business or investment purposes.

Budgeting and Flexibility

Preparing accurate budgets becomes easier because of the fixed monthly payments. Knowing exactly how much you will be paying each month makes it easier to plan, something not guaranteed by loans with variable rates.

Payments are fixed through the term of the agreement and are not affected by interest rate increases.

Structured payments can be arranged, for example paying quarterly, half yearly annually or upfront payments.

You have the flexibility to upgrade, add or delete equipment during the term

Tax and Accounting Benefits

Payments are 100% Tax Deductible providing the equipment is for Business Use. Under a hire purchase, the depreciation of the equipment and the interest component of the agreement are tax deductible.

Under a rental or lease, the monthly instalments are tax deductible. As rentals are treated as an operating expense, they may qualify as off balance sheet financing. This results in avoiding the equity accounting calculations that is applicable to other forms of finance.

GST on monthly payments can be claimed through BAS statements.

End of Term Options

At the end of the agreement you will not risk being stuck with old technology as there are numerous options available:

  • Upgrade to New Technology and return the old equipment
  • Continue month to month payment

So why not consider financing for your Hercules Stairclimber!
