Why finance with Avanti

A crane truck is the piece that turns a crew into a contractor who can set the trusses, land the rooftop unit, hang the sign, or stock the second floor, and then drive to the next job. Roofing and drywall delivery, HVAC setting, sign installation, steel and precast erection, tree work: whatever the boom is for, we finance the full range of truck-mounted cranes, new or used, with app-only programs that skip the tax returns on many deals. The crane is most of the ticket on these trucks, so its make, capacity and inspection history matter as much as the chassis, and a larger crane truck is structured properly rather than squeezed into a small-ticket program. Every credit profile is considered, private-party purchases included, and you'll get a fast, straight answer on your terms before you commit to a unit.

Telescopic boom trucks and truck-mounted cranes

The straight-boom crane truck: a stiff telescoping boom on a commercial chassis, rated anywhere from a few tons to 40 tons and more. This is the truck for steel erection, precast, HVAC units, trusses and any lift that needs reach and capacity together.

Financing notes: the crane's rated capacity, boom length and hours drive the value more than the chassis miles. On larger units, plan on the bigger-ticket structure. Over $300k, a financial package (tax returns, balance sheet, P&L and bank statements) is typical.

Drywall, roofing and sign booms

Wallboard and roofing delivery booms with a conveyor or fork attachment, and the aerial sign trucks that combine a platform with a small crane. These are lower tickets than a heavy telescopic crane and usually fit the app-only program with no tax returns.

Buying a boom truck from a private seller

Knucklebooms, mobile cranes and bucket trucks have their own pages

The folding knuckleboom that unloads its own truck, the rough-terrain or all-terrain crane that isn't a truck at all, and the insulated bucket truck for line and tree work each finance a little differently, so each has its own page with the details that matter for that unit.

What to send us about a used crane truck

A listing or invoice lets us review the actual unit instead of a price alone. Have these details ready:

Year, make, model, VIN and mileage of the chassis
Crane make, model, rated capacity and boom length, plus crane hours if metered
Date of the most recent annual crane inspection and any load-test or certification paperwork
Dealer, upfitter or private seller's name and contact information
The down payment you have available and your business start date

You can start with a short application and the equipment details. We will let you know what supporting documents your profile requires. If bank statements are requested, provide:

Last 3 months of business bank statements: all pages, PDF downloads from online banking (no photos or partial pages)

The program, stated plainly: what qualifies, what it takes, and what to expect.

Boom & crane truck financing at a glance
Equipment financed	New, used and higher-mileage telescopic boom trucks and truck-mounted cranes, drywall, roofing and sign booms. The term is set by the unit's age and the amount, not a blanket cutoff.
Where you can buy	Dealers, auctions and private sellers. A private-party purchase gets the same terms as a dealer deal. The title, any lien payoff and direct payment to the seller are handled for you.
Credit profiles	Every profile, from A-paper to challenged credit, thin credit, past (discharged) bankruptcy, and startups under two years in business.
Amounts and terms	$20,000 to $500,000+ with terms up to 72 months.
Down payment	Strong credit and time in business can mean $0 down. Challenged credit (under 600) typically pairs with 30–40% down and 2017-or-newer equipment. Owned, titled equipment can be pledged to lower the cash at closing, and you'll know the number before you put a deposit on anything.
Paperwork	App-only programs with no tax returns on many deals under $300,000. Over $300,000, plan on a financial package: two years of tax returns, a balance sheet, a P&L and bank statements. Bank statements are asked for on smaller deals only when the credit profile calls for them.
Decision and funding	Decisions in as little as 24 hours from a short online application. Avanti coordinates funding through its lending partners, paid directly to the seller, usually within a few days, for businesses in 49 states, fully remote.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of boom and crane trucks do you finance?

Truck-mounted telescopic cranes (straight-boom crane trucks), drywall and roofing delivery booms, and sign trucks, new or used, from dealers, upfitters or private sellers. Knuckleboom cranes, mobile cranes and bucket trucks are financed too, each on its own page.

Is a crane truck financed differently from a boom truck?

They're the same program. The names overlap, and the truck is financed as one unit either way. What changes the structure is the ticket: a heavy telescopic crane over $300k is set up with a financial package, while a drywall boom or a small knuckleboom usually fits the app-only program.

Do you finance used crane trucks?

Yes. Used and higher-hour boom and crane trucks are financed regularly, with the term set by the unit's age, the amount financed, and your credit profile. A current annual crane inspection and any certification paperwork strengthen the file.

Can I finance a crane truck as a newer business?

Yes. Newer businesses and owner-operators are welcome. A down payment scaled to your credit is typical, and existing work under contract makes the file stronger.

Is there an app-only program for boom trucks?

Yes. App-only financing is available up to higher amounts with no tax returns required, starting with a quick credit-based pre-qualification.

Can I finance a boom truck with challenged credit?

Yes. We work across the full credit spectrum. Lower scores typically require a down payment and 2017-or-newer equipment, and you'll know the exact expectation before you commit to a truck.
