The QAS line is Atlas Copco's portable diesel generator range, and it earns its place on jobsites, event stages, film shoots, and disaster response staging areas because it is built to work outside, move fast, and start in conditions that would strand a lesser machine. QAS units run from 14 kVA on the compact end up to 1,000 kVA on the larger trailer-mounted configurations, with the sweet spot for most commercial buyers in the 100-400 kVA range. These machines are not data center standby iron. They are prime power for locations without grid access, temporary power for events and construction, and first-response generation for utilities and municipalities clearing storm damage. We fund Atlas Copco generator sets from $50k, new or used, B/C credit fine, and we close in one to two weeks so the machine is on the trailer before the next deadline hits.
QAS transactions typically run $50,000 to $300,000 depending on kVA class and whether the purchase is new, used, or from a rental fleet disposal. The full range falls within our application-only program, which means no financial statements below $400k. For rental fleet operators purchasing multiple units, we structure the deal as a single transaction and size it off three months of bank statements regardless of the total.
Atlas Copco powers the QAS series with a rotating roster of diesel engines depending on the model and the emissions tier required. Deutz, Cummins, John Deere, and MTU engines have all appeared in QAS configurations at various production runs. That engine diversity is worth understanding when financing a used machine because service parts availability, oil specifications, and service intervals vary by the installed engine, not just the QAS frame number.
The QAS enclosure design is specifically an outdoor-duty weatherproof cabinet with sound attenuation rated to IP23 or better on most models. That weatherproofing is why the units get deployed to hurricane response staging, outdoor events in coastal markets like New Orleans and Miami, and remote off-grid construction sites without shelter. The canopy design also includes fuel tank integration on most models, eliminating the need for a separate sub-base tank on short-term deployments.
Trailer-mounted QAS units include the road-legal axle and lighting configuration required for over-the-road towing, which matters for rental fleet operators who need to dispatch quickly. The tow-ready configuration adds to the purchase price but also expands the machine's usable scenarios compared to skid-mounted-only alternatives. For financing purposes, trailer-mounted units are treated as a complete package and the trailer does not require separate documentation.
Three buyer profiles dominate QAS financing. First are rental fleet companies adding portable generation capacity. Atlas Copco's dealer and rental network uses QAS units as a primary portable fleet, and independent rental operators buying off that network or acquiring retired fleet units run a significant share of QAS transactions. We have funded rental operators buying anywhere from two to fifteen units in a single transaction.
Second are construction and utility contractors who need jobsite prime power for projects ranging from road construction in remote terrain to utility and power infrastructure work at substations and transmission sites where grid power is unavailable during construction. These buyers often need the unit delivered before the first pour and want funding to close before the mobilization date, not after it.
Third are event and entertainment production companies that run outdoor festivals, concerts, and film shoots that require portable generation. Events power buyers sometimes have irregular credit histories due to the seasonal and project-based nature of their revenue, which is exactly the kind of profile our B/C credit program handles. We look at cash flow across the prior 12 months and the event calendar going forward, not just a point-in-time credit score.
New QAS units in the 100-250 kVA range list between $40,000 and $130,000 depending on the specific model and configuration. Used units from retired rental fleets are often available at 40-60% of new list price for 2,000-5,000 hour machines with service records. We finance both, and the used market on QAS equipment is liquid enough that we can support strong loan-to-value ratios on documented machines.
Term lengths typically run 24 to 60 months on portable generators. Shorter terms on higher-utilization rental fleet units keep the debt paid off before the machine reaches the back end of its useful life. Longer terms on newer units reduce monthly cost for buyers who want to preserve cash flow. We also offer seasonal or deferred payment structures for buyers whose revenue patterns are event-driven or storm-season-dependent. Paying less in February and more in July aligns the cash flow with the revenue, which is the whole point of a payment structure calibrated to the actual business.
For buyers interested in short-term ownership, a TRAC lease structure on a QAS unit gives you a defined buyout or turn-in at term end, which suits buyers who might upgrade to a newer model every three or four years as Atlas Copco releases updated configurations. We write both purchase and lease structures on QAS transactions.
Tell us the QAS model, kVA rating, year, and whether it is new, used, or a fleet purchase. Same-day structure. For rental fleet acquisitions of multiple units, tell us how many and we will size the deal as a single transaction. The machine does its job in the field. Let us get the money done before you need it there.
Questions About Atlas Copco QAS Portable Generator Financing
Straight answers before you send the generator file.
Can I finance a QAS unit that was previously in a rental fleet with high hours?
Yes, with conditions. High-hour rental fleet machines are financeable when service records are available and the machine has been inspected or load-tested recently. Atlas Copco and major rental companies maintain good maintenance documentation, which supports the underwriting. We will tell you exactly what hours and condition threshold works for a specific deal.
I need three QAS 250 units for a hurricane restoration contract that starts in six weeks. Can that timeline work?
Six weeks is very workable. Our target close is one to two weeks from application, which gives you four or more weeks of buffer. For a three-unit purchase in the $300k-$400k range we will likely work application-only, which means we can move even faster if the deal is clean.
The QAS I want is owned by a private seller who used it at a mine site. No formal service records. What happens?
Missing service records increase the documentation we need on the machine's condition. We would want a third-party inspection or load bank test result to establish current condition. Private seller mine-site iron is not unusual for us, but we need something that establishes the machine is in working order.
My events company had a bankruptcy discharge four years ago. Can I still qualify for QAS financing?
A four-year-old discharge is not an automatic decline. We look at what has happened since: has the business rebuilt its banking relationships, does the cash flow show healthy event revenue, and is there a pattern of paid obligations post-discharge? Many B/C credit deals in the events space have exactly that history. Apply and we will give you a straight answer.
Can I add a QAS unit to an existing loan on other Atlas Copco equipment I already have financed?
You can open a new transaction on the QAS unit; we do not add collateral to existing loans. But a second transaction on a buyer with a clean first deal typically moves faster than the first one did.
