Why iLease Capital

A broker who actually
knows hard assets.

Deep industrial asset knowledge

We know what an Atlas Copco compressor, a Crown forklift, or a Lincoln welder actually does and what it's worth. Lenders care about collateral. We package deals around the asset.

Broad industrial coverage

Compressors and air systems, forklifts and material handling, welding equipment, generators, industrial automation, conveyor systems, and packaging lines. If it runs in an industrial operation, we've financed something like it.

Used and older equipment welcome

Many lenders cap financing at newer equipment. We have relationships with specialty lenders who go older and still structure competitive terms. What matters more than the calendar year is condition, service records, and remaining useful life.

Fleet and multi-unit deals

Need to finance 10 forklifts or a full materials handling system? We structure package deals across multiple units and match the depreciation schedule to your operations.

Auction and dealer financing

We're the preferred finance partner for Machinery Resources International. Pre-approval before you bid, 30-day rate hold. We move at auction speed.

No impact to your credit score during evaluation. We run soft pulls only until you're ready to move forward.

Common Questions

Industrial Financing,
Answered.

What types of industrial equipment does iLease Capital finance?

We finance the equipment that keeps facilities running: forklifts and material handling, overhead and jib cranes, industrial generators and UPS systems, commercial HVAC and chillers, industrial pumps and compressors, balers and compactors, welding equipment, storage and racking systems, and aerial work platforms. If it's a hard industrial asset supporting a business operation, we've structured something like it.

Can I finance a fleet of forklifts or multiple units in one transaction?

Yes. Fleet and multi-unit deals are common and often preferred by lenders. Larger deal sizes reduce per-unit costs and can yield better rates. We can structure a single master lease with individual per-unit schedules, a portfolio facility, or staggered terms that match how your fleet rotates. Whether 5 forklifts or 50, we structure around how the fleet actually gets used.

Can I finance used or older industrial equipment?

Yes. Most industrial capital sits in the used market: dealer-refurbished, private-seller, auction purchases, and rebuilds. Many lenders cap financing at newer equipment, but we have relationships with specialty lenders who go older and still structure competitive terms. What matters more than the calendar year is condition, service records, hours where applicable, and remaining useful life.

How fast can I get a decision on emergency replacement equipment?

Same-day decisions are possible on deals under $150K with complete documentation. When a generator fails or a forklift goes down, production stops and every hour costs money. We have lender relationships that prioritize speed for emergency replacements. Larger deals typically decide within 24 hours.

Does Section 179 apply to industrial equipment?

Yes. Qualified industrial equipment placed in service during the tax year can be fully expensed under Section 179, with current-year limits over $2.5 million for most operations. Equipment Finance Agreements (EFAs) and $1 buyout leases preserve the deduction. FMV leases do not. Ask us about which structure fits your tax situation and consult your CPA for the exact figure.

What about a newer business or operations under 2 years?

Newer operations can qualify with additional documentation: 3 months of business and personal bank statements, formation documents, and a personal guarantee from owners with 20%+ ownership. Existing customer contracts, an operating history at a prior business, or strong industry experience all meaningfully improve approval odds.
