Heavy Equipment Asset and Collateral Based Loans

Commercial Heavy Equipment Financing Options for Your Business

Your bulldozers, excavators, and loaders do more than move dirt. If you own them, they hold real value, and that value can be put to work for your business. First Capital Business Finance offers heavy equipment asset- and collateral-based loans that let you borrow against the equipment you already own, so you can access working capital without selling a single machine.

Unlock growth opportunities with Heavy Equipment Asset Loans

What Are Heavy Equipment Asset- and Collateral-Based Loans?

An asset-based loan is secured by something your business owns. With a heavy equipment collateral loan, that asset is your construction or heavy equipment. You pledge one or more machines as collateral, and the loan amount is based on the wholesale value of that equipment rather than on your credit score alone.

Because the loan is backed by a hard asset, approval focuses on what the equipment is worth and whether you own it. That makes this a strong option for owners who have built up equity in their fleet but may not fit the strict credit requirements of a traditional bank loan.

What is an Equipment Backed Loan

How Heavy Equipment Collateral Loans Work

Loan Amounts

Funding ranges from $20,000 to $2,000,000, depending on the wholesale value of the equipment you pledge.

Repayment Terms

Terms run from 12 to 60 months with fixed monthly payments. There are no daily or weekly payments and no merchant statements required. That is a major difference from merchant cash advances and other short-term products that pull money from your account every day.

Use of Funds

There are no restrictions on how you use the money. Common uses include:

  • Buying additional equipment
  • Covering payroll during slow seasons or between projects
  • Paying off higher-cost financing, such as daily-pay advances
  • Purchasing real estate
  • General working capital for materials, fuel, bids, and growth

Requirements to Qualify

To qualify for a heavy equipment asset- and collateral-based loan, you will need:

  • A minimum of two pieces of equipment
  • Each piece valued at $20,000 or more wholesale
  • Equipment manufactured in 2004 or newer
  • Proof of ownership

Benefits of Asset-Based Loans for Heavy Equipment Owners

Monthly Payments Instead of Daily Withdrawals

Predictable monthly payments over 12 to 60 months make it easier to plan cash flow around job schedules and progress payments.

No Credit Score Requirement

Approval is driven by your equipment, not your credit score. Past bankruptcy, repossession, or foreclosure does not automatically disqualify you.

Unlock Equity You Already Have

Paid-off machines sitting on your books represent cash you can access. A collateral loan converts that equity into working capital while the equipment stays in your business.

Keep Your Projects Moving

Instead of turning down work or waiting on receivables, you can fund the next job, cover payroll, or bid on larger contracts with confidence.

What Heavy Equipment Qualifies as Collateral?

Most heavy equipment with a minimum auction value of $20,000 can be used as collateral, including:

What If You Do Not Own Heavy Equipment?

If your equipment does not meet the requirements, you still have options. Real estate you own can be used as collateral instead of equipment, or you can explore our working capital business loans and business loans for bad credit.

What Our Customers Say

Should you finance or lease construction equipment?

Borrowing against equipment you own is different from financing new equipment. If you need to add machines to your fleet, a general rule is that buying or lease-to-own makes more sense for equipment you use about 60% of the time or more. Leasing can be a better fit for equipment you only need occasionally or for a specific project.
