Warehouse automation leasing and equipment financing
Automation you can put to work now, not in three budget cycles
Warehouse automation leasing from CHG-MERIDIAN funds the racking, conveyors, sortation, and automation your volumes require: any manufacturer, one agreement, no capital outlay.
- Deploy now, pay as it works. Spread the cost across the years the system is earning.
- Any manufacturer, one contract. Pick the equipment that fits your building. We finance all of it.
- No residual value risk. CHG-MERIDIAN carries it, not you.
- Room to upgrade. Move to newer technology as your throughput changes.
Warehouse automation leasing lets you scale capacity on your operation's timeline, not your capital budget's.
Why warehouse operators lease automation instead of buying it
Warehouse equipment is a long-term commitment made with short-term information. Leasing keeps you flexible while the operation changes around you.
Warehouse automation leasing across the whole building
Warehouse automation leasing covers the whole implementation process. CHG-MERIDIAN finances equipment across every major manufacturer, from a single racking system to a fully automated distribution center.
The bones of the building. Racking is a long-term asset that often outlives the layout around it, so leasing keeps you from owning a footprint you have already outgrown.
Conveyors and sorters scale with throughput, not with the calendar. We finance the system you need for current volumes and structure the agreement so it can grow when they climb.
An AS/RS is one of the largest capital lines a warehouse will ever face. Leasing spreads that cost across the years the system is actually earning, so the payback and the payment move together.
Picking technology moves fast, and today's best system rarely stays best for long. A lease lets you deploy now and upgrade later, without owning obsolete hardware.
The dock is where throughput is won or lost. We finance levelers, restraints, and loading systems as part of the same agreement, rather than as a separate purchase.
The software and control systems that run the equipment can be financed alongside the hardware, so the whole operation sits under one contract.
Mixed brands and phased rollouts are normal for CHG-MERIDIAN. You build the warehouse the operation needs, and we structure one agreement around it.
Warehouse equipment financing is more than a line of credit
A lender funds the purchase and moves on. We stay with the equipment. CHG-MERIDIAN manages the financing around all needed assets across their usage cycles, and tracks every asset and cost in one place through our tesma platform.
That matters most at the end of the term. When a system reaches the end of its useful life, we manage the return, the remarketing, and the recycling. You are not left trying to sell a decade-old conveyor line yourself.
What comes with a warehouse automation lease?
We review what the building needs before anything is ordered, so the specification fits the throughput rather than the sales pitch.
We finance racking, conveyors, and automation from any maker and bring it under one contract, instead of one agreement per vendor.
Large fit-outs rarely land in one delivery. We structure agreements that follow the build, so you pay as the warehouse comes online.
Every system, contract, and cost sits in one platform, so you know what you run, what it costs, and when it is due for replacement.
When equipment retires, we manage the return and remarket or recycle it, so value is recovered and disposal is handled responsibly.
Most warehouse projects hand you off. One vendor sells the racking, another finances it, a third hauls it away years later. We stay with the equipment from the first specification to the final return, so there is one team accountable for how it performs and what it costs.
Frequently asked questions: warehouse automation
Yes. CHG-MERIDIAN specializes in financing warehouse automation. We fund automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), goods-to-person systems, and automated picking technology — so you deploy the system now and pay for it as it earns revenue.
Pallet racking, shelving, and mezzanines, conveyor and sortation systems, automated storage and retrieval systems, goods to person and picking technology, dock equipment, and the control technology that runs it all.
Buying commits capital up front for a system that pays back over years and dates as technology moves. Leasing lines the cost up with the return and lets you upgrade as your throughput and technology change, because we carry the residual value risk.
Yes. CHG-MERIDIAN is independent of every equipment maker, so you choose the racking, conveyors, and automation that fit the building, and CHG-MERIDIAN finances all of it under one agreement.
Yes. Large fit-outs rarely land in one delivery, so CHG-MERIDIAN structures leasing agreements that follow the build — you pay as the warehouse comes online rather than all at once.
At the end of a CHG-MERIDIAN lease term, you can return the equipment, extend the agreement, or purchase it. When a system reaches end of life, CHG-MERIDIAN manages the return, remarketing, or recycling — so you are not selling a used conveyor line yourself.
Yes. CHG-MERIDIAN runs standardized warehouse automation leasing and contract management across 35 countries, so a company opening distribution centers in several markets follows one process instead of starting over each time.
