Financing / Leasing Available

Welding Equipment And Industrial Supplies Financing

Welding Mart has partnered with Clicklease to provide industry-leading welding equipment for a low monthly payment customized to fit your budget. Our welder financing services allow professionals to outfit their shop with the right welding machines and systems to serve customers. Whether you need a new MIG welder, a rental TIG welder, a virtual welding training simulator or something else, rent-to-own welders from leading brands such as Lincoln Electric and Miller are a great solution.

It's never been easier to afford the equipment you need to grow your business.
Apply in just four minutes and get real approval in seconds - there's no hard credit pull and no documents are needed.

Benefits of Lease-to-Own Welders

A welding machine rental is great for short-term and long-term business needs. Welder leases and rentals let companies stay on top of the latest welding technology without draining their operating budget by paying upfront, in full for new machines. At the end of the lease period, you can either purchase the welding equipment outright or return it to WeldingMart. You can also buy the equipment anytime within the first year of your lease - see below for more details.

Welder rentals can also have tax benefits. In many cases, the payments you make when you lease or finance a welding machine for business or educational purposes are tax-deductible. This frees up even more resources to get the equipment, supplies and personnel that welding businesses need.

 

More Information

Welding machine financing is available 24/7 so you can apply whenever it's convenient for you. It will only take about four minutes of your time.

Once approved, you'll have the option to select the term that best fits your budget and, if approved for more than you request, our calculator makes it easy to see how your payments change for any additional items you add to your lease. eDocs are available immediately, allowing you to order your new gear within minutes.

Lincoln Ranger 305 LPG Engine Driven Welder Ready-Pak Kohler - K5168-1

Choose the Ranger 305 LPG welder/generator for those environments where gasoline and diesel emissions are not acceptable. Includes a liquid propane gas supply hose with coupler for easy connection to the liquid draw outlet of an LP-gas cylinder. The 10,000-watt peak single-phase AC generator powers motor starting, tools and inverter welders for extended range and process capability.

Experience environmentally-friendly welding power with the Lincoln Ranger 305 LPG, the industry-leading propane-powered welding generator designed specifically for applications where conventional fuel emissions are restricted or prohibited. This specialized multi-process welder delivers exceptional performance across stick, TIG, MIG, and flux-cored applications while producing significantly lower emissions than comparable gasoline or diesel units, making it ideal for indoor construction, sensitive environmental zones, and clean air requirement areas. The professional-grade system includes a complete ready-pak configuration with integrated liquid propane connection system for seamless integration with standard LP cylinders, providing contractors and maintenance teams with a turnkey solution for environmentally-conscious welding operations.

Engineered for superior welding performance in demanding applications, the Ranger 305 LPG incorporates Lincoln's exclusive Chopper Technology to deliver exceptional arc characteristics across all welding processes. The system provides precise 300-amp welding capability with 25V output—unique among compact LPG welders in North America—ensuring sufficient power for challenging pipe welding, structural fabrication, and repair operations. The digital weld meters display actual amperage and voltage values, allowing operators to precisely pre-set procedures and continuously monitor output parameters during operation. With CV wire capability supporting electrodes up to 5/64-inch (2.0 mm) diameter, the system handles demanding production requirements while maintaining excellent bead appearance and minimal spatter across diverse material thicknesses.

Beyond its impressive welding capabilities, the Ranger 305 LPG functions as a robust power generation system with 10,000 watts peak and 9,000 watts continuous output—sufficient for operating Lincoln Electric inverter welders, power tools, lighting systems, and emergency backup power scenarios. Powered by a high-performance 25 HP Kohler OHV Command LPG engine, the system delivers reliable operation with stable 120V and 240V output regardless of welding dial settings. The propane-based operation eliminates the need for gasoline storage and transportation while substantially reducing hydrocarbon emissions and environmental impact. Built to withstand extreme conditions with outputs rated at 104°F (40°C), this rugged welding generator provides consistent performance in challenging environments while meeting increasingly stringent emissions requirements for sensitive work locations. For contractors requiring environmentally responsible welding solutions without sacrificing capability or reliability, the Lincoln Ranger 305 LPG Ready-Pak represents the ultimate clean-energy portable welding and power generation system.
