The equipment need

A public works company had to strengthen its earthworks park to honour already committed construction projects.

The choice was for a second-hand hydraulic excavator, less expensive than new equipment and immediately available.

The amount of the investment was between $57,300–$115,000.

The manager wanted a rapid depreciation of the financing, aligned with the duration of the current contracts.

  • Used track hydraulics
  • Associated earth-moving equipment

The support described in the project

We have structured a leasing porant on used equipment, with prior expertise in the value of the equipment.

The duration of the contract was set at 36 months, in accordance with the company's request and the age of the equipment.

The financing covered the entire purchase price without taxes, without an upfront contribution.

A low-value option was provided at the end of the contract to allow for the retention of the equipment.

The reported operational outcome

The excavator was put into production on the existing yards as soon as the financing was lifted.

The company's earth-moving capacity was increased without draining on its liquidity.

The short period of 36 months allowed financing to be made available at the pace of the covered markets.
