Why Edmonton Contractors Lease Telehandlers

Telehandlers are essential across Edmonton’s booming construction and oilfield industries. Whether it’s moving heavy pallets, lifting steel, or handling rough terrain, telehandlers combine the reach of a crane with the mobility of a forklift.

Buying one outright often costs $80,000–$200,000+, which ties up working capital. Leasing solves that by:

  • Reducing upfront costs

  • Aligning payments with project cash flow

  • Offering upgrade flexibility

  • Covering both dealer and private sale units

At Mehmi Financial Group, we offer fast 24–48 hour approvals on telehandler leases — even for private sales between contractors.

Private Sale Telehandler Leasing: How It Works

Most banks and dealers avoid financing private sales. But in Edmonton, contractors often buy used telehandlers directly from other businesses or auctions.

We make private-sale leasing straightforward:

  1. Invoice or bill of sale from the seller.

  2. Inspection and verification of the telehandler.

  3. Lease agreement structured through Mehmi.

  4. Seller gets paid directly and you take possession.

This gives Edmonton contractors more flexibility, especially when used equipment is priced competitively in the private market.
