Forklift Finance FAQs

Common questions about forklift finance

Should I finance or lease my forklift?
It depends on your needs. Finance (chattel mortgage) is best if you want to own the asset and claim depreciation. Leasing suits businesses wanting lower payments and regular upgrades.
Can I include attachments in the finance?
Yes, you can bundle attachments like side shifters, rotators, and clamps into your forklift finance. We can also include delivery and installation costs.
What about electric forklifts?
Electric forklifts are popular and we have competitive rates. Some lenders offer green finance incentives for electric and low-emission equipment.
How old can a used forklift be?
Most lenders finance used forklifts up to 10 years old, though some specialist lenders will consider older equipment. Age affects the available term length.
