Heavy Equipment & Yellow Iron

Financing for excavators, skid-steers, and the rest of your iron.

Yellow iron is the bulk of what JCF funds. Lenders that know essential equipment when they see it, dealers that trust our pipeline, and structures built for operators rather than bank credit boxes.

  • Excavators
  • Dozers
  • Skid-steers
  • Wheel loaders
  • Backhoes

Why JCF for heavy equipment

Three things that matter on yellow iron deals.

  • Lenders that understand essential equipment.

    A skid-steer is essential. Banks don't always see it that way. JCF works with lenders that get the difference between a piece of iron you need to make payroll and a nice-to-have add-on.

  • Challenged credit programs.

    B, C, and D paper. A bankruptcy from three years ago. A startup with industry experience. There's a lender for most situations; we know which doors to knock on.

  • Fast turnaround on dealer deals.

    When a dealer needs the deal moved this week, we can usually get terms back same-day and fund within a few business days of complete docs.

How financing works

EFA, loan, or lease — depends on your goal.

Most heavy-equipment deals are structured as Equipment Finance Agreements (EFAs) or installment loans. Typical down payment is 10-20%. Terms run 12-60 months depending on age, type, and credit profile.

Heavy equipment customers

Deals that closed, in their words.

  • Tim found a lender that understood my need for the skid-steer and got me rates and terms far below the larger lenders. Very nice and helpful guy.

    Eric GuillenGuillen Truck Lines, LLC, Fort Hancock, TX
  • Tim went above and beyond. I had never purchased commercial equipment before and we were in desperate need of a flat-bed truck. He explained the process in detail and was clear about how my loan worked. I'll be using Tim again for my next truck.

    Marvin HenryH&H Wood Products, Oregon City, OR
  • I was referred by the dealer I was buying the skid-steer from. I'd been turned down by other lenders. Tim got financing in a day and the terms were great. Closed within days, back to work right away.
