Excavator Financing

Excavator Financing

Fast, Flexible Loans for Contractors and Earthwork Professionals

Whether you're grading lots, digging foundations, or managing large-scale excavation projects, the right equipment is everything—and a dependable excavator can make or break your timeline. At TruckLenders USA, we make excavator financing fast, simple, and built for contractors, not paperwork.

We work with builders, grading companies, and site prep crews across the U.S., offering fast-track approvals and no-nonsense equipment loans up to $250,000. If you’ve got 650+ credit and a business generating revenue, we’ll help you get your next excavator on the job—fast.

What We Finance

No two job sites are the same—and neither are the excavators that power them. That’s why we offer flexible financing options for a wide range of equipment types and sellers:

  • New and used excavators

  • Dealer or private party purchases

  • Mini, mid-size, and full-size excavators

  • All major brands: CAT, Komatsu, John Deere, Kubota, Hitachi, Volvo, Takeuchi, Bobcat, and more

From a compact 6,000 lb. mini-ex for residential jobs to a 75,000 lb. machine built for commercial demo, we help you finance the exact equipment your business needs—no red tape, no hassle.

Why Contractors Finance Excavators

Buying an excavator outright is a major investment. For most construction businesses, financing makes more sense—especially when speed, cash flow, and flexibility matter.

Here’s why thousands of contractors choose to finance:

  • Preserve cash flow – Keep working capital available for payroll, materials, or fuel

  • Asset-backed – The equipment itself secures the loan, giving you better rates and terms

  • Tax benefits – Deduct interest and depreciation under Section 179

  • Start jobs faster – Get the machine you need now and pay over time

With a well-structured loan, your equipment can pay for itself as you use it on active jobs—without draining your reserves.

Excavator Loan Options

We’ve designed our loan programs to meet the real-world needs of construction professionals. Whether you’re financing a single mini-excavator or multiple full-size units, we’ll tailor a deal that fits your timeline and budget.

  • Loan amounts up to $250,000

  • Terms from 36 to 72 months

  • Soft credit pull to apply—no impact on your score

  • Same-day approvals available in many cases

  • No prepayment penalties on most loans

And yes—we finance attachments and transportation trailers as part of the package if needed.

Requirements to Qualify

We know you’re busy running a business, not a paperwork factory. That’s why we keep our qualification process lean and straightforward.

To qualify for excavator financing, you’ll typically need:

  • 650+ credit score

  • 2+ years in business (we also consider startups with strong credit)

  • $15,000+ in monthly business revenue

There’s no need for tax returns, business plans, or P&L statements. Just the essentials to get your deal approved and moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I finance a used excavator from an auction?
Yes. We finance used equipment from auctions (like Ritchie Bros., IronPlanet, etc.) and private sellers. We just need the sale details or invoice to get started.

Can I finance multiple machines at once?
Absolutely. We can bundle multiple excavators or other equipment into one loan or create a custom financing plan to match your fleet expansion needs.

Do I need a CDL or special license to qualify?
No commercial license is required. We focus on your business history, revenue, and credit—not your license type.

What if I’m just launching my business?
Startups with strong personal credit (typically 700+) and verifiable income may still qualify. Reach out—we’ll evaluate your situation individually.
