?Quick answer
Heavy equipment financing from RCR International Finance LLC funds large machinery such as excavators, loaders, cranes, dozers, and other heavy industrial assets, using the equipment as collateral. It supports construction, energy, and industrial operators acquiring durable machines that carry significant cost and long service lives, subject to underwriting and approval.
Heavy equipment financing is asset-backed funding for large, durable machinery used in construction, earthmoving, energy, and industrial work. Because these machines are expensive, long-lived, and hold resale value, the equipment itself secures the financing. Underwriting weighs the asset's hours, condition, and useful life alongside the business's cash flow.

Heavy Equipment Financing FAQs
- Can I finance high-hour used heavy equipment?
- Yes. Used machines are commonly financed, with hours, age, condition, and resale market weighed in underwriting. Terms are subject to underwriting and approval.
- Are attachments and freight financeable?
- Often soft costs such as attachments, freight, and setup can be included in the financed amount, depending on the equipment and structure.
- Should I lease or buy heavy machinery?
- Heavy machines typically hold long useful lives, so a loan that builds ownership is common, but a lease can suit equipment used on shorter project cycles. The right choice depends on how long you will run the machine.
- Does the machine serve as collateral?
- Yes. Heavy equipment financing is secured by the machine itself, which is one reason it is accessible to operators acquiring durable, resaleable assets.
