About Kawasaki wheel loaders
Kawasaki Construction Machinery (KCM) released its first wheel loader to the North American market in 1978 and in 2010 formed a joint venture with Hitachi, according to equipment records. In 2018, Hitachi announced it would add KCM loaders to its offerings after more than 35 years of Kawasaki wheel loaders in North America.
Kawasaki equipment
Kawasaki wheel loaders are used in aggregates, quarries, waste and recycling, snow removal and general construction. Many are now sold under the Hitachi or KCM names.
How lenders view Kawasaki loaders
Wheel loaders have a broad resale market. Lenders review hours, tires, bucket, transmission and axle condition, and the work behind the loader. Because the brand's sales channel changed, confirming dealer and parts support helps on older units.
Financing Kawasaki loaders
Quarries and recycling yards often finance loaders with other equipment. Banks and independent lenders finance used Kawasaki loaders, and service records strengthen the file.
How Kawasaki equipment financing works
Most Kawasaki 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.
What lenders check on a Kawasaki construction equipment
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 Kawasaki 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.
