How to Finance a Crane Truck

Fast, Simple Financing for Contractors and Equipment Operators

Need a crane truck now? Whether you’re expanding your fleet, taking on a new contract, or replacing an aging unit, the last thing you want is a drawn-out loan process. You need fast answers, flexible terms, and a lender that actually understands the equipment you rely on.

At TruckLenders USA, we specialize in crane truck financing—with no tax returns, no hard credit pull, and approvals in as little as 24 hours. We finance boom trucks, knuckle booms, telescopic cranes, and articulating models—new or used, from dealers or private sellers.

Below is exactly how to finance a crane truck in five clear steps.

Step 1 – Know If You Qualify

Before you apply, it’s smart to check that you meet the minimum qualifications. Our process is designed for contractors and operators with real businesses—not paperwork-heavy startups or personal-use buyers.

You likely qualify if you have:

  • 650+ credit score (FICO)

  • 2+ years in business

  • $15,000+ in monthly revenue

  • Business entity (LLC, Corp, or Sole Prop with EIN)

We don’t require tax returns or financial statements—just proof that your business is active and cash flowing.

Step 2 – Choose Your Equipment

Once you know you qualify, it’s time to decide what type of crane truck fits your business needs. The good news: we finance all major types, whether you’re buying new or used.

Common crane trucks we finance:

  • Boom Trucks – Great for lifting materials on job sites or multi-story construction.

  • Knuckle Boom Cranes – Folding, articulated arms ideal for tight urban or utility work.

  • Telescopic Cranes – Hydraulic reach cranes perfect for high or long-distance lifts.

  • Articulating Cranes – Versatile and compact, often used in telecom, landscaping, or fleet services.

We finance trucks from licensed dealers or private sellers, including those listed on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or direct-sale platforms.

Step 3 – Get a Listing or Quote

To move forward with your application, you’ll need to provide a clear quote or listing for the crane truck you want to finance.

That means:

  • Make, model, and year of the truck

  • Purchase price

  • Dealer invoice or link to private party listing

Don’t have the truck picked out yet? No problem—you can still get prequalified and shop with confidence knowing how much you’re approved for.

Step 4 – Apply Through TruckLenders USA
