Comprehensive Excavator Financing Options

Our equipment financing helps business owners fund the purchase or lease of a new or used excavator, providing the capital they need to purchase these powerful machines. Understanding the different types of financing available to you is essential to choosing the right option for your operations. Our team will help you find a financing solution for your business goals.

EXCAVATOR LOAN OPTIONS

If you want ownership and equity in your excavator, an equipment loan from H.O. Penn Machinery may be your best financing option.

Equipment loans allow you to purchase your excavator without a lump sum payment. A loan spreads the full cost of your excavator out, allowing you to make monthly payments over a set time. Clients who qualify can choose flexible contract terms, allowing them to choose between different payment schedules or durations. 

The total cost includes the excavator’s price and the agreed-upon interest. When financed through Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (CFSC), there are no penalties for paying off your equipment early.

There are several major advantages to obtaining an equipment loan for one of our Cat excavators:

  • It’s the least expensive path to ownership, other than cash payments.
  • You own the excavator once payments are complete.
  • You build equity through ownership, maintaining it well and making upgrades when necessary.

EXCAVATOR LEASING

If you want access to the latest excavator technology and the most advanced features, equipment leasing may be the right option. You may not be able to purchase the newest model excavators outright. A standard or mini excavator lease means borrowing the machine for a set period through lower monthly payments. Your payment amount remains consistent throughout the lease term, and you are free to utilize the leased excavators until the termination of your lease.

Depending on the type of lease you choose, CFSC owns the equipment throughout your lease agreement. However, once your lease ends, you have several options — you can extend the lease on the excavator, return the machine, upgrade to a newer model or purchase it to add it to your fleet. 

Some of the benefits of excavator leasing include:

  • Excavator lease prices tend to be more affordable for budget-conscious businesses.
  • You keep the excavator temporarily, 24 months minimum.
  • You can turn in your excavator at the end of your term and lease another with the latest Cat technology.

EXCAVATOR RENT-TO-OWN

H.O. Penn Machinery is your go-to source for equipment rentals. Sometimes, during the rental agreement, businesses realize that they need to add a machine to their fleet.

If you have a rental agreement with us and would like to explore purchasing our excavator, contact our team. Rent-to-own financing allows you to rent our excavators for a set rental term with the option of buying them. 

Some of the benefits of this financing option include: 

  • You can test out the excavator before committing to buy.
  • A portion of your payments may be applied toward the machine’s purchase price.
  • You can change your mind about purchasing without impacting your credit.

Leasing vs. Loans: What’s the Best Excavator Financing for You?

Leasing and equipment loans are popular options for acquiring the excavators you need. While leasing involves temporarily borrowing the machine for a flat monthly fee within a specific period, taking out an equipment loan is a purchase option that spreads out payments over a set period.

Both options are excellent ways to finance your excavator purchase. If your business is deciding between leasing or an equipment loan to finance your excavator, there are a few factors to consider:

  • Your excavator needs: Some companies use excavators for every project, while others only need them for one-and-done jobs. A loan may be worth it if you know you’ll use the equipment regularly. 
  • Your budget: Loans may be a cost-effective way to purchase an excavator, but the monthly payments are typically higher than an equipment lease. However, leases can have a higher long-term cost since you’re not paying toward the excavator’s principal value.
  • Ownership and resell: Once a lease term is complete, the excavator returns to us. However, loans allow you to own the machine once it’s paid off. This gives you equity in your equipment, enabling you to resell later and recoup your initial investment.

How to Qualify for Excavator Financing

If you’re ready to finance your excavator, the team at H.O. Penn can walk you through every step of the process to help you determine if you qualify for an excavator loan or one of our leasing opportunities. Our clients are busy working some of the most challenging jobs in the region, so we make the application process as quick and convenient as possible.

There are several criteria we look at to determine your eligibility for financing, like:

  • Credit score: A good credit score can improve your chances of getting approved for excavator financing and securing favorable terms.
  • Business and financing history: We look at factors like time in business, cash flow and revenue stability to determine your loan or leasing terms.
  • Financial documents: To apply for financing, you must provide a valid ID, fill out a credit application and submit financial documentation that showcases your overall financial health.
  • Collateral: Whether you obtain a loan or pursue leasing, the excavator itself will act as collateral. If you default on payments, the equipment will be returned to us.

Businesses and individuals with a strong financial history and better cash flow are more likely to qualify for excavator equipment financing and better interest rates and terms.
