Lease the pavers, rollers and repair rigs that win you more jobs
Asphalt pavers, rollers, tar kettles and crack-seal melters, hot boxes, sealcoat rigs and concrete mixers. New or used, from a dealer or an auction, with payments that follow your paving season.
Paving, asphalt repair and concrete equipment
Whether you lay new lots and roads or run a repair crew fixing potholes and cracks, the equipment is the business. These are the machines paving contractors finance with us most.
Payments that follow the paving season
Asphalt plants shut down and paving slows when it gets cold, but a standard loan still wants the same payment every month. A seasonal lease can put the bigger payments in the months you're paving.
Full payments in paving season Skipped or reduced payments in the off-season
Example only. We set the months to match your market; southern contractors often pave year-round, northern crews may skip three to five months.

Start with repair, grow into paving
Many owners start with lower-cost repair and maintenance equipment (a crack-seal melter, hot box, sealcoat unit and a truck) and add a paver and roller once they have steady commercial customers. Repair work also fills the shoulder months when big paving jobs slow down. Line up your contractor's license, insurance and bonding early, since many commercial and municipal jobs require them before you can bid.

Paving equipment leasing questions
Can I skip payments in the winter?
Yes. A skip-payment or seasonal lease can remove or reduce payments during your slow months. The schedule is set when you sign, based on your paving season.
Can I lease used pavers and rollers?
Yes. Used equipment from dealers, private sellers and auctions can be financed, as long as the machine and seller can be verified.
Do you finance crack-seal melters and hot boxes?
Yes. Tar kettles, crack-seal melters, hot boxes, asphalt recyclers, infrared repair units and sealcoat rigs can all be leased or financed, alone or bundled with a truck.
Can a new paving company get approved?
Yes. Startups are considered with strong personal credit, usually with a down payment. Many new companies start with repair and sealcoating equipment before adding a paver.
Should I choose a $1 buyout or an FMV lease?
Choose a $1 buyout if you plan to keep the machine for years; it also qualifies for Section 179. An FMV lease gives the lowest payment and lets you upgrade or return the equipment at the end.
How much can I finance on the application alone?
Up to about $250,000 with a one-page application, depending on credit and time in business. Larger fleets can be financed up to $5,000,000 with financial statements.
