Crane Financing
“Do You Need To Finance a New Or Used Crane?”
Crane financing and Crane equipment financing can be secured on both new and used equipment from both Canadian and U.S. lending sources.
This type of construction equipment financing is provided either in the form of an equipment loan or equipment lease.
Equipment loans for the most part are only provided through banks or institutional lenders, and are only available to applications that have an “A” credit profile.
While equipment leases are also available to “A” credit business, the spectrum of leasing companies in total tends to cover off a much broader spectrum of credit backgrounds including those with poor to bad credit.
For used crane financing, the key to getting financed with the best rates and terms is going to hinge on the age of the asset, its condition, and its estimated remaining useful life. The more heavy duty the crane or related crane equipment, the more likely it can be financed. Rates and terms for used equipment can vary considerably and will depend to large degree on the amount of used crane equipment that is available in the market now and projected into the near future when a loan or lease would be in effect. Especially with weaker credit profiles, the asset as security is going to be more important to the lender or leasing company, so the less amount of available supply of used equipment, the higher the confidence level the equipment financing company will have in being able to predictably be able to liquidate the asset in future if required.
Get Crane Equipment Financing That Meets Your Needs

In these situations, either an equipment loan or lease could be explored, depending on the financial and credit profile of the applicant.
