How a Contractor Financed $800K to Expand Their Heavy Equipment Fleet

Discover how a rapidly growing construction contractor secured $800,000 in equipment financing—no upfront cash required—to acquire new trucks, trailers, and support equipment, enabling them to meet demand and take on larger contracts.

With multiple infrastructure and transport projects ramping up, this contractor turned to Lion Tech Finance for fast, flexible capital. We structured a 100% equipment financing package—no money down—covering $800,000 worth of heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and hauling equipment. The financing preserved working capital while allowing the company to expand its fleet and keep operations running at full speed.


Key Highlights

Pain Point: Lack of available fleet was limiting capacity to take on new project contracts and increasing downtime due to overused equipment.

Our Move: Structured a 100% equipment finance package with fast approvals, minimal paperwork, and flexible terms to match seasonal cash flow.

Outcome:

  • $800,000 in critical fleet equipment deployed

  • Zero upfront capital required, preserving cash flow
