Where the financed amount comes from on Mobile Impact Crushers
The funding statement on a Mobile Impact Crushers deal looks different from the dealer quote. The dealer quote highlights the equipment and configuration. The funding statement breaks out every dollar the lender is financing, in the order the lender lists them. Reading both side by side at signing is the discipline that prevents post-funding surprise.
Base equipment. The unit itself, in the configuration the seller is offering.
For Mobile Impact Crushers, base pricing typically runs $520K to $728K depending on configuration, year, hours, and condition.
Attachments, options, and add-ons.
Buyer-selected items show up on the invoice as separate lines. These are financeable in nearly every case. The decision is whether to roll them into the loan principal or pay them out of pocket at delivery.
Delivery, setup, and training.
For equipment that ships from a distant dealer to a remote job site, delivery and rigging can add 2 to 5 percent of base price. On Mobile Impact Crushers specifically, mobilization to the work site after delivery is the buyer responsibility unless negotiated otherwise.
Sales tax and use tax.
Sales or use tax is owed in most states and typically rolls into the financed amount; the lender remits it at closing. State conformity rules vary, and a few states offer manufacturing or production exemptions that change the math. Confirm the tax line with the seller before signing rather than discovering it at funding.
Extended warranty, service contract, and consumables.
Optional but common. Pricing typically runs $1,000 to $10,000 depending on equipment cost and coverage. Financeable. Decide whether to roll the warranty in before you sign the funding documents, not after.
Four Mobile Impact Crushers borrowers we approve every week
The profile of the buyer matters as much as the equipment when our teams price a Mobile Impact Crushers deal. The four profiles below cover roughly 80 percent of our applications. Each has a typical structure, a typical down payment expectation, and a typical program fit.
The post-restructure operator
A business that has been through a workout, settlement, or bankruptcy in the last 24 to 60 months. Our specialty programs handle this, usually at a higher rate, with larger down payment, and tied to a personal guarantee from a principal with current clean credit.
The contractor adding owned equipment
A business that has historically rented adding equipment to its own book to reduce rental spend. Lenders look favorably on this story because the rental cost is documented and the math is transparent. The conversion from rent to own is one of the cleanest financing applications.
The grant-leveraged buyer
A business with a grant award, set-aside, or rebate that covers part of the equipment cost. We fund the remainder. The grant documentation goes into the file at application; timing of the grant disbursement versus loan funding is the detail that determines structure.
The fleet adder
An operator adding the fifth, sixth, or twentieth unit to an existing fleet. Lenders look at portfolio concentration on their side, but if the borrower has been paying on prior units cleanly, the next deal is straightforward.
Inside our team view of a Mobile Impact Crushers deal
If you want to understand why two Mobile Impact Crushers deals at identical price land at different rates, the answer is in the five borrower factors below. Lender pricing on the equipment side is reasonably standardized. Lender pricing on the borrower side has real spread.
- Equipment as collateral. The equipment itself secures the loan. Asset class, age, condition, configuration, and resale market depth all factor into how lenders advance against the cost.
- Personal credit of principals. For owners with 20 percent or more equity, personal FICO drives both the available program and the rate. The pull is soft at prequalification, hard at formal application with the chosen lender.
- Industry sector. Some industries get standard pricing, some get a premium, some get a discount. Long-term stable sectors with low default rates (utility infrastructure, established medical, government contractors) typically price favorably.
- Existing debt service. Lenders look at total monthly debt obligations against cash flow. Adding a new payment that pushes the debt service coverage ratio below 1.20 typically requires additional support or a larger down payment.
- Use of equipment. Will the asset generate revenue immediately, will it replace an existing producing asset, or is it additive capacity. Revenue-replacement deals close most easily.
Diligence on Mobile Impact Crushers: the items that matter
Equipment financing on Mobile Impact Crushers closes cleanly when the pre-purchase walk catches the items below. When it does not, the issues surface post-funding, and the lender owns nothing of the resolution. Read the seller representation against the items below before signing.
- Software and license transfer. For equipment with embedded software (modern control systems, telematics, diagnostic), confirm the software licenses transfer to the new owner. Some manufacturer software is tied to original-purchaser-only; the second-hand owner can lose access to telematics, fault-code reading, or update streams.
- Engine and powertrain test. Cold start, warm operation, load test if applicable. Diesel equipment in particular masks issues at warm-running temperature that surface on cold start.
- Recall and campaign status. Manufacturer recalls and service campaigns sometimes go uncompleted on used equipment. Verify outstanding recalls before purchase; some are mandatory and prevent the equipment from being registered or operated in certain jurisdictions until completed.
- Pre-funding photo set. Take a complete photo set of the equipment at the time of purchase signing: serial number, hour meter, condition of major systems, attachments, and any documented damage. This photo set goes into your records and into the lender file if requested.
- Operator manuals and documentation. Get the operator manual, service manual, and any parts catalog at the time of purchase. Replacements are sometimes available from the manufacturer but slow and expensive. Documentation is part of the asset value.
- Title or MSO clean. Title for titled equipment, manufacturer statement of origin (MSO) for new equipment that has not been titled yet. Check for prior liens, salvage history, and that the seller is the title holder.
Common pitfalls on Mobile Impact Crushers financing
The pitfalls below come from real loan files where a buyer signed paper they did not fully understand. None of these are dealer or lender fraud. They are gaps between what was assumed and what was documented. Catching them at the application stage costs nothing; catching them after funding costs real money.
Title processing timeline
For titled equipment, we hold the original title and you operate under a temporary registration until the state DMV processes the title transfer. Timelines vary from two weeks to three months by state. If the equipment needs to be on the road immediately, ask us about expedited processing or temporary trip permits at the time of funding.
Co-borrower vs guarantor distinction
Some lenders require a co-borrower on the loan rather than a guarantor. The legal and tax implications differ materially. A co-borrower has direct payment obligation; a guarantor only steps in if the primary defaults. Make sure your funding documents reflect the role you intended to play, especially if multiple owners are involved.
Padded equipment invoice
Some dealers will list installation, delivery, or extended warranty as separate line items on the invoice and finance them into the loan. That is fine if you know it is happening and want those items rolled in. It becomes a problem when the borrower thinks they are financing the equipment at $100,000 and the actual loan principal is $112,500 because of soft-cost items added to the invoice.
Vendor financing disguised as direct
Some equipment dealers present vendor-arranged financing as the only path, when independent equipment lenders would beat the rate by 1 to 3 points for the same borrower. Always get at least one independent quote before accepting dealer financing on a transaction over $50,000.
Quick answer
Mobile Impact Crushers financing typically prices at 7-12% APR for prime credit (720+ FICO) and 11-17% for fair-to-challenged credit (600-679). Standard terms run 36-72 months with 0-15% down. Approvals close in 24-72 hours on app-only programs (typically under $150K) and 3-7 business days on full-financials deals. Required documents: driver license, voided business check, last 3 months bank statements, and the equipment quote.
Quick answers
Direct answers to the questions we hear most on mobile impact crushers applications. Each answer is one we have given to a real buyer in the last quarter.
What is a TRAC lease?
A Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause (TRAC) lease is a structure used primarily on titled vehicles (trucks, trailers, certain heavy equipment) where the lessee bears the residual risk at end of term. Common on commercial vehicles because it offers operating-lease tax treatment with the buyer keeping equipment-purchase economics.
What is an app-only program?
App-only means we approve the deal based on a credit application without requiring full business financials. Typically capped at $150,000 to $250,000 transaction size depending on the program tier. Decisions are faster (often same-day) and documentation is minimal. Above the app-only threshold, full financials are required.
What is an EFA loan?
An Equipment Finance Agreement (EFA) is a structured equipment loan with a $1 buyout at the end of term. Functionally identical to a loan for tax purposes (you depreciate and own the equipment), but documented as a finance agreement. Most common structure for buyers planning to keep equipment past the financing term.
EFA vs loan, which is better?
They function identically for tax and ownership purposes. EFA documentation is slightly simpler and faster to close on app-only programs. Loan documentation is more traditional. The rate and structure are typically equivalent. EFA is more common in modern equipment finance, loan structure is more common in bank-originated deals.
Can I add attachments to an existing equipment loan?
Sometimes, depending on the program tier and the original loan structure. Adding to an existing loan typically requires a loan modification or amendment. More commonly, attachments finance as a separate transaction at standard equipment terms, sometimes at a modest premium over the original equipment rate.
What is the minimum credit score for equipment financing?
There is no single minimum across the industry. Prime programs start at 720+. Mid-tier programs work down to 660. Specialty programs handle 580 to 640 with structured down payment and personal guarantee. Below 580 is rare but exists in narrow specialty programs.
How we structure financing
The financing structure that fits depends on the actual situation. Below are the most common decision branches we walk through with buyers, in plain "if X, then Y" form.
- If You plan to cycle equipment every 36 to 48 months
- Then A true operating lease with FMV residual often beats loan or EFA structures. The lower payment over a shorter term, with return option at the end, fits the use case.
- If Your equipment is part of a larger build-out project
- Then Get bundled financing across the full project (equipment + infrastructure + integration) on single paper when possible. Bundled programs typically beat piecemeal financing on rate and approval probability.
- If You are buying used equipment over 7 years old
- Then Plan for shorter financing terms (36 to 48 months instead of 60 to 72) and higher rates. Authorized refurbished equipment from OEM-direct programs sometimes qualifies for new-equivalent terms.
- If You plan to bundle attachments with the base equipment
- Then Get them all on a single bill of sale and single paper. Bundled financing typically costs 50 to 100 basis points less than financing the base unit and adding attachments separately.
- If Your equipment will be operated by a hired driver or operator
- Then Document the operator certification status in advance. Some lenders require proof of OSHA training, CDL, or industry-specific certification before funding on certain equipment categories.
What if something changes mid-term
Equipment loans run for 36 to 96 months. Things change. The patterns below cover the situations that come up most often during the loan term and how they typically resolve.
Equipment lease ending with no clear plan
Lease structures require purchase, return, or renewal at end of term, typically with 60-90 day notice. Missing the notice deadline can trigger automatic renewal or fair-market-value buyout. Decide and communicate before the deadline.
Equipment becomes obsolete or no longer useful
Sell the equipment with lender consent (UCC release coordination), apply proceeds to loan payoff. If sale proceeds are below payoff, the deficiency becomes owed. Voluntary surrender to lender is sometimes available as an alternative.
Business ownership change during loan term
Most equipment loans are personally guaranteed and assumable with our consent during ownership change. The new owner submits an application similar to the original; we review and either consent or require payoff.
Equipment used for something different from original purpose
Loan covenants sometimes restrict equipment use (no sub-rental, no out-of-state operation, etc.). Changing use materially without consent can trigger default. Request lender consent in writing before the change.
