Benefits of Financing

Acquire the equipment you need with virtually no cash outlay. In most cases, all you need is a small down payment, or in the case of a lease, one payment in advance.
Unlike traditional lending, Manitowoc Finance financial products don’t affect your bank lines of credit. Your other capital resources remain intact for times when you need ready access to cash to subsidize growth or meet operational needs.
From flexible payment schedules to add-on equipment requirements during the life of the equipment, our financial solutions are variable enough to adapt to just about any business situation.
Using the latest equipment technology can give you a decided edge in jobsite efficiencies, but today’s equipment can look obsolete when compared to tomorrow’s technology. Why settle for yesterday’s level of efficiency? Working through Manitowoc Finance lets you upgrade to new and better equipment anytime during or at the end of the equipment contract term.
Depending on the type of finance product you select, your payments may be treated as a fully deductible operating expense or you may depreciate the equipment. For a business needing to shelter income, this option can be a huge benefit.

Our flexible financing options let you schedule your payments to fit fluctuations in cash flow. For businesses tied to seasonal fluctuations, your equipment agreement can be structured to provide seasonal payments when you have income. And, for construction situations with fluctuating revenue streams, lower monthly payments when revenue drops and higher payments when business peaks, combined with skip payments during those really slow months, may be the best use of cash reserves. Manitowoc Finance can match cash flow to fit your income streams whether annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly.

We structure all our products to put you in control. At the end of your agreement, you may choose to continue to lease the same crane equipment, lease new Manitowoc equipment, or return the equipment. It’s up to you. You make the choice.

Finance Almost Any Piece of Manitowoc or Manitowoc-Related Equipment

Just about any piece of Manitowoc equipment that produces income or saves time and labor can be financed, including crawler cranes, mobile hydraulic cranes, tower cranes, and boom trucks.

It’s Quick and Easy!

In most cases, just one phone call is all it takes to get the process started. Depending on the transaction size, credit approval can take place in the same day. If you have an existing line of credit, it’s even faster.

Lease vs. Buy

Which is right for your business, a flexible financing structure or outright purchase? The right option for you depends on several questions and considerations revolving around your business, equipment needs, and budget requirements.

For example, what will happen to the equipment’s value? Will it appreciate or depreciate over time? What will the value be at the end of the economic lifecycle? Will the crane technology you purchase today remain functional or become obsolete before the end of its useful life? Will the crane you need now satisfy your capacity and worksite requirements 2 years in the future? What about 4 or 6 years in the future? Can your capital or credit line be better used to leverage your financial returns? Which option provides the best tax advantage to you now and in the future?

If it’s equipment that will increase in value and can be acquired without impacting your capital, consider buying it. But, most equipment needs are not so easily met, and that’s where Manitowoc Finance can help.
