Crawler Crane Finance
High-value crawler crane finance from specialist lenders who understand large lifting assets. Liebherr LTR, Manitowoc, and Demag crawler cranes funded on hire purchase or finance lease from £200k to £5m+.
The right structure for every crawler crane requirement
Liebherr Crawler Crane Finance
Finance for the full Liebherr LR and LTR crawler crane range - LR 1100 through to LR 13000. Specialist lenders familiar with Liebherr residual values and the major infrastructure projects these machines serve.
Manitowoc Crawler Crane Finance
Grove and Manitowoc crawler crane finance - Model 18000, 21000, and MLC series. Hire purchase and finance lease structured for the long working life of high-capacity Manitowoc crawlers.
Demag & Terex Crawler Finance
Demag CC and AC series and Terex crawler cranes. Finance structured around the asset's value and the operator's project pipeline - infrastructure, energy, petrochemical, and major construction.
Hire Purchase
Own the crawler crane at the end of the agreement. The most common structure for lifting contractors building long-term asset ownership. Capital allowances claimable. Fixed payments over 5-7 years.
Finance Lease
Lower monthly payments than hire purchase. The asset is retained by the finance company with flexible end-of-term options. Suited to operators with strong utilisation who want to preserve capital.
Refinance & Sale-Leaseback
Release capital from existing crawler cranes. Useful for growing lifting contractors who need capital for new project bonds, mobilisation costs, or acquiring additional equipment while retaining the cranes.
How it works
Crane specification
Crawler crane manufacturer, model, capacity, year, condition, and any existing finance. We assess lender appetite immediately - crawler cranes are assessed on asset value and sector track record.
Specialist lender sourcing
We approach lenders from our panel with crawler crane and heavy lift experience. These are not general equipment funders - they understand the asset and the infrastructure sectors that use them.
Structured approval
Crawler crane finance is assessed on asset value, operator experience, and project pipeline. We advise on structuring the application to present the strongest case.
Settlement
Direct settlement with the dealer, manufacturer, or seller. We manage the documentation for high-value transactions, ensuring clean title transfer and lender security registration.

Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum facility available for a crawler crane?
We have placed crawler crane finance up to £5m+ through our specialist lending panel. Very large transactions may require additional security or a structured approach - we advise on this before approaching lenders.
What crawler crane makes and models can be financed?
All major manufacturers - Liebherr, Manitowoc, Demag, Terex, Link-Belt, and Kobelco. New and used. Age and condition are assessed by the lender's specialist valuer.
Can a lifting contractor with limited company history get crawler crane finance?
Yes - specialist infrastructure lenders weight operator experience and project pipeline heavily. A company with experienced directors and contracted work is a strong application regardless of company age.
How is a used crawler crane valued for finance purposes?
By a specialist asset valuer familiar with the lifting sector. Open market value and forced sale value are both assessed. Strong residual value on major brands supports higher advance rates.
Can crawler cranes be used as security for other finance?
A free-and-clear crawler crane can be used as additional security for other borrowing, or sold and leased back to release capital. We structure both alongside the primary crane finance.
