Financing for Crane Hire Operators
Crane finance is at the heavy end. A mobile or franna crane, a new truck or a fleet addition can run to ~$120,000 or well beyond, and that capital is committed for years. On top of the machines, you carry crew wages, maintenance, ticketing and compliance while clients pay slowly on progress claims.
Equipment finance for the cranes themselves, paired with a working-capital line for wages and the gap between lift and payment, lets you grow the fleet and take bigger jobs without overstretching. Cockatoo helps match you to a lender that understands heavy plant and the cash cycle of crane hire.
Common questions
Crane Hire Operators — business loan questions
Can I finance a crane or truck on the equipment itself?
Usually yes. Cranes and trucks are well suited to equipment finance, with the machine typically supporting the loan. Cockatoo helps match you to a lender comfortable with high-value plant in the ~$120,000-plus range.
How do I cover crew wages between progress payments?
A working-capital line bridges the gap between completing lifts and a builder paying the progress claim. That keeps crews paid and machines moving rather than waiting on slow accounts.
