Forklift & Telehandler Financing Options

Forklift Financing Options
If you’re in the need of forklift financing, whether your purchase is a mast forklift, telehandler / telescopic forklift, we offer a variety of financing and leasing programs for both new and used forklifts. We have both traditional and non-traditional forklift financing programs for those who have good and bad credit. Our financing programs will work with new or used forklifts, with the minimum purchase price starting at $5,000 and the maximum going to $250,000. Depending on what type of forklift you’re in the market for, it’s a good idea to contact us first and get pre-approved prior to signing any agreements or putting any type of deposit down. The process is fast and simple;
  1. Pick out your forklift: Even if you have to shop for a few online, we’ll need to know approximately what your budget is. If you already have a quote or invoice from the Vendor, that’ll work even better.
  2. Know your numbers, whether you’re looking for a used $10,0000 mast forklift or a $250,000 telescopic forklift, you’ll want to be sure to have a budget set for this added investment. Depending on the finance amount, typically you will not need to have a business plan, nor would you need financials or tax returns. But before making a purchase, it’s wise to run some numbers and projections on the benefits of adding a new forklift to your list of assets.
  3. Get pre-approved for financing prior to signing any agreement or paying any deposit. The last thing you want to do is back yourself in the corner by paying a deposit for a forklift and not being able to find the financing. Of course, we’re able to secure financing for the majority of our clients, but there are still some instances a client might not be able to proceed with the financing terms that are presented to them. If you have a few minutes, you should call us at 888-565-6692 and speak to one of our advisors. They can walk you through the simple process and address any questions you might have. Our help desk is typically open from 5 am PST to 11 pm PST 7 days a week. Once you’ve found out what you are eligible for, now comes the fun part… Start shopping!
