About Kaeser
Carl Kaeser opened his machine shop in 1919, and today KAESER is a global supplier of compressors and compressed air systems, according to Kaeser Compressors.
Kaeser equipment
Kaeser rotary screw compressors, blowers and air treatment equipment are used by manufacturers, shops and industrial plants.
How lenders view this equipment
Compressors are plant infrastructure. Lenders review size, age, installation (piping, dryers, receivers) and the business's financials.
Financing Kaeser equipment
Installation can sometimes be included. Energy-efficiency upgrades may qualify for utility rebates.
How Kaeser equipment financing works
Most Kaeser purchases are financed with an equipment loan or a lease. A loan gives you ownership from day one, with the lender registering a security interest (PPSA in Canada, UCC in the USA). A lease keeps title with the lessor and can lower the monthly payment, with a buyout, renewal or return option at the end.
What lenders check on a Kaeser compressor
Lenders look at the machine type, installation and tooling costs, and the contracts or production the equipment supports. Soft costs such as rigging and installation may be included, subject to lender approval.
Expect to provide a credit application, recent business bank statements, the dealer quote or bill of sale with serial number and age and usage, and financial statements or tax returns for larger amounts.

Tax treatment of Kaeser equipment
In Canada, machinery used to manufacture or process goods has its own CCA classes (Class 43 and Class 53), and which one applies depends on the asset and purchase date. Confirm the class with your accountant. With a loan, you generally claim capital cost allowance and deduct interest. With a true operating lease, lease payments are generally deductible instead. See the CRA classes of depreciable property. In the USA, Section 179 and bonus depreciation may apply; see IRS Publication 946. Always confirm with your accountant.
End-of-term options on a Kaeser lease
A $1 buyout lease is built for ownership: you keep the machine for a nominal amount at the end. A fair market value lease usually has a lower payment, and at the end you can buy the equipment at its market value, return it or upgrade. Read the return conditions, such as hour limits and wear standards, before you sign.
Who finances Kaeser equipment
Manufacturing: fabricators, machine shops, plastics and packaging manufacturers, food processors and contract manufacturers finance Kaeser equipment to take on new work, replace aging units or add capacity.
The right structure depends on how the equipment earns money. A machine tied to a long contract can support a longer term, while seasonal work may call for skip or seasonal payments that some lenders offer.
Questions to ask the dealer or seller before you finance
- What is the exact model year, serial number and age and usage?
- Is there a service history or recent inspection report?
- Is any warranty or extended coverage included, and does it transfer?
- Are attachments, delivery, installation and taxes itemized on the quote?
- For a private sale, is the equipment free of liens, and who will provide the bill of sale?
Insurance on financed Kaeser equipment
Lenders and lessors require the equipment to be insured for its replacement or financed value, with the lender named as loss payee, before funding. Some also ask for liability coverage. Getting an insurance quote early avoids last-minute delays.
