Why finance with Avanti

A lowboy is what turns a contractor's iron into a fleet that moves itself. The excavator that can only work where it's delivered becomes the excavator that's on the next site by seven, and the day rate you used to pay a heavy hauler stays in the business. It's also one of the higher-ticket trailers there is, and it should be financed like the tool it is. We finance lowboys and heavy-haul trailers of every configuration, new or used, from a dealer or a private seller: hydraulic and mechanical removable-gooseneck lowboys, fixed-neck and non-ground-bearing units, two- and three-axle trailers with flip axles, jeeps and boosters for the permit loads. A trailer bought with its tractor is financed as one deal; a trailer bought on its own is financed on its own. Used trailers are financed every day, with the term set by the trailer's age, condition and the amount financed. Strong credit and time in business can mean $0 down; challenged credit usually means a down payment and a newer trailer, and you'll know the number before you put a deposit on anything. Decisions come back in as little as 24 hours, and we coordinate direct payment to the seller.

Which lowboys and heavy-haul trailers we finance

Any trailer built to move machines and oversize loads, financed as one unit with its neck, decks and axle additions:

  • Hydraulic removable-gooseneck (RGN) lowboys: the standard for excavators, dozers and cranes that drive on and off the front
  • Mechanical RGN and fixed-neck lowboys for lighter machines and shorter money
  • Non-ground-bearing and folding-neck designs
  • Two-axle and three-axle lowboys, and the flip axle, jeep dolly and booster that turn a 3-axle into a permit-ready 3+1 or 3+2 configuration
  • Beam, blade-hauler and perimeter-frame heavy-haul trailers for the loads above 55 tons
  • Traveling-axle and hydraulic-tail trailers for equipment dealers and rental yards
  • New from a dealer, and used from a dealer or a private seller

Trailer alone, or trailer and tractor together

A lowboy and the tractor that pulls it are often bought at the same time, especially when a contractor stops paying a heavy hauler and starts moving its own iron. One application, one closing, one payment covers both, and the combined ticket usually clears the app-only program with no tax returns. A lowboy bought on its own is financed on its own, the same way.

Larger heavy-haul setups such as a multi-axle trailer plus jeep and booster, or a trailer-and-tractor package, can run past $300,000, where the deal is structured with a financial package and a term matched to the work the rig will run on.

Used-lowboy checklist

A lowboy carries the heaviest loads on the road, and the frame is the whole trailer. Before you agree on a price, check or have an inspector check:

  • Main beams and cross-members for cracks, previous weld repairs and any sag in the deck between the neck and the axles
  • The neck: hydraulic cylinders, hoses and the pump on an RGN; the pin and latch on a mechanical neck; kingpin wear
  • Suspension and axles: air-ride bags and leveling valves or spring hangers, axle alignment, bearing play
  • Brakes, drums and ABS; a current DOT annual inspection is worth asking for before anything else
  • Tires: matched and dated; eight or twelve tires is a real number on the price
  • Deck boards, tie-down points, ramps and outriggers
  • Flip axle, jeep or booster included in the price, and whether the wiring and air lines are complete

What to send us about the trailer

A listing or a dealer quote lets us review the actual trailer instead of a price alone. Have these ready:

  • Make, model, year, VIN and asking price
  • Capacity (tons), axle configuration and neck type
  • Any jeep, booster or flip axle included
  • Whether a tractor is part of the same purchase, and its details
  • Dealer or private seller's name and contact information
  • The down payment you have available and your business start date

Documents depend on your application

You can start with a short application and the trailer 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)

Frequently asked questions

What lowboy and heavy-haul trailers can I finance?

Hydraulic and mechanical removable-gooseneck lowboys, fixed-neck and non-ground-bearing units, two- and three-axle trailers with flip axles, jeeps and boosters, beam and perimeter-frame heavy-haul trailers, and traveling-axle and hydraulic-tail trailers, new or used, from a dealer or a private seller.

Can I finance the lowboy and the tractor together?

Yes. A trailer and tractor bought at the same time are financed as one deal: one application, one closing, one payment. A lowboy bought on its own is financed on its own.

Do you finance used lowboys?

Yes. Used lowboys are financed every day, with the term set by the trailer's age, condition and the amount financed. A current DOT inspection and clean frame strengthen the file.

How much down payment do I need for a lowboy?

Strong credit and a few years in business can mean $0 down. Challenged credit or a newer business typically means a down payment, often 20 to 40 percent, and owned equipment can be pledged to lower it. You'll know the exact number before you commit.

Can I buy a lowboy from a private seller?

Yes. Private-party purchases get the same terms as a dealer purchase. We verify the trailer and the seller, handle the title and any lien payoff, and coordinate direct payment to the seller.

Does the financing cover the jeep and booster?

Yes. A jeep dolly, booster or flip axle bought with the trailer is part of the unit and is financed with it, as long as it's on the invoice or bill of sale.

How fast can I get a decision on a lowboy?

Decisions come in as little as 24 hours on a short application. Larger heavy-haul packages that need a financial package can take a little longer once documents are in.
