Can I finance a bucket, boom, service or vacuum truck?
Yes. Avanti finances vocational and work-built trucks (specialty vehicles), including bucket trucks, boom trucks, service and utility trucks, and vacuum and septic trucks, new or used and across every credit profile.

Why finance with Avanti
A vocational truck is a tool built for a job, and financing it should be just as purpose-built. We help finance the full range of work trucks, what some lenders file under specialty vehicles, new or used, from dealers, upfitters or private sellers, across every credit profile: bucket and aerial-lift trucks, boom trucks and truck-mounted cranes, service and mechanic's trucks, utility bodies, vacuum, septic and hydro-excavation trucks, water and fuel trucks, sweepers, and chassis with an upfit. App-only programs skip the tax returns on many deals, and the term is set from the truck's age and the amount rather than a blanket rule, so a used unit with plenty of working life left is financed on its merits. The body and the boom are part of the truck's value, not an afterthought, and a current inspection or certification on an aerial device strengthens the file. Decisions come back in as little as 24 hours, and we coordinate direct payment to the seller.

Vocational truck financing at a glance
The program, stated plainly: what qualifies, what it takes, and what to expect.
| Equipment financed | New, used and higher-mileage bucket, boom, service and utility trucks and upfitted chassis. 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. |
