FAQ's
Crane finance is a type of equipment/asset finance that allows a business to purchase or use a crane without paying the full cost upfront. Instead, a lender funds the equipment and the business repays it over an agreed term, similar to a car or truck loan. Depending on the structure (chattel mortgage, finance lease, or hire purchase), the business may own the crane outright at the end of the term, claim tax benefits along the way, and preserve working capital for other parts of the business rather than tying up cash in a single asset.
A specialist broker understands the crane and construction industry including how the asset is used, its resale value, and the cash flow patterns of businesses that rely on it — so they can structure finance around the realities of the business, not just a generic lending checklist. Unlike a traditional bank, a broker like Tammy Haug can map out a client’s short, medium, and long-term goals, tailor repayments to project-based or seasonal cash flow, and work across multiple lenders to find the best fit rather than offering a single one-size-fits-all product..
