Crane Finance from Lorry Loaders to Crawler Cranes
Cranes are some of the most valuable machines in construction and haulage. A mobile or crawler crane can cost hundreds of thousands, or millions, of pounds, and only a handful of lenders understand them. Boost Finance arranges crane finance for crane hire companies, hauliers, builders’ merchants and contractors, from a single lorry-mounted crane (often called a HIAB) to large mobile and crawler cranes.

Financing big-ticket cranes
Specialist lenders
Large mobile and crawler cranes need lenders who know their values. We match the crane to the right lender.
Records matter
Lenders look at hours, maintenance and LOLER thorough examination records, and the crane’s age at the end of the agreement.
Structured payments
Balloons, seasonal or stepped payments can be available on larger deals to match hire income.
We arrange finance on cranes and lorry loaders from Liebherr, Tadano, Grove, Terex, Palfinger, Hiab, Fassi, Atlas and others. Boost Finance is an independent credit broker and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any manufacturer.

Crane & HIAB Finance FAQs
Can I finance a used mobile crane?
Yes. Specialist lenders fund used mobile and crawler cranes, depending on age, hours, condition and records.
Can I finance an imported crane?
Often, yes. Many cranes are bought from European dealers. Lenders will check the supplier, the crane and its paperwork.

It’s a lorry fitted with a knuckle-boom crane, also called a lorry loader. HIAB is a brand name that’s often used for all of them. We finance crane lorries from every manufacturer.
Can I fit a crane to a truck I already own?
Yes. The crane and fitting can be financed on their own, and the truck can sometimes be refinanced alongside them.
