About Clark
Clark is one of the pioneers of the forklift. In 1917, Clark Equipment invented the Tructractor, an internal combustion shop truck, and in 1924 introduced the first forklift, according to its company history. Clark also notes firsts such as standard overhead guards and load backrests in 1964, and it marked 100 years in 2017.
Clark forklifts
Clark builds internal-combustion and electric forklifts used in warehouses, manufacturing, lumber yards and distribution.
How lenders view forklifts
Forklifts are common, widely resold assets. Lenders review capacity, power type, hours, mast and battery condition, and the business's financials.
Financing Clark forklifts
Forklifts are often financed in fleets or with planned replacement leases. Dealer programs and independent lenders can be compared.
How Clark equipment financing works
Most Clark purchases are financed with an equipment loan or a lease. A loan gives you ownership from day one, with the lender registering a security interest (PPSA in Canada, UCC in the USA). A lease keeps title with the lessor and can lower the monthly payment, with a buyout, renewal or return option at the end.
Clark equipment we help finance
Financing Clark forklifts
Forklifts are financed by warehouses, manufacturers and distributors. Lenders look at capacity, power type (electric, propane or diesel), hours and battery condition for electric units. Forklifts are often financed in fleets, and some lenders offer structures that include service.
Clark forklifts on our eligible equipment list include Clark (forklifts).
What lenders check on a Clark forklift
Lenders look at machine hours, service records, undercarriage or tire condition, and whether the unit is tied to contracts or a steady work program. Used machines with strong resale demand are usually easier to finance than specialized units.
Expect to provide a credit application, recent business bank statements, the dealer quote or bill of sale with serial number and hours, and financial statements or tax returns for larger amounts.

Tax treatment of Clark equipment
In Canada, power-operated movable equipment used to excavate, move, place or compact earth, rock, concrete or asphalt generally falls in CCA Class 38. Confirm the class for your exact asset with your accountant. With a loan, you generally claim capital cost allowance and deduct interest. With a true operating lease, lease payments are generally deductible instead. See the CRA classes of depreciable property. In the USA, Section 179 and bonus depreciation may apply; see IRS Publication 946. Always confirm with your accountant.
