About Manac
Manac is a Canadian trailer manufacturer founded by Marcel Dutil in 1966 and headquartered in Saint-Georges, Quebec, according to Manac. In November 2020, Manac delivered its 200,000th trailer from its main plant in Saint-Georges.
Manac trailers on our list
Our eligible equipment list includes Manac 53-foot dry vans, flatbed trailers and grain hopper trailers. Manac builds a wide range of trailers for Canadian conditions, including specialized and heavy-haul trailers, and its products are common in Canadian carrier fleets.
How lenders view Manac trailers
Dry vans and flatbeds from a major Canadian manufacturer have a solid resale market, which helps lenders. They review model year, walls and floor (for vans), deck and frame (for flatbeds), axles, suspension, tires and, for grain hoppers, gates and tarps. Canadian-spec trailers built for winter roads and weight rules can be attractive to Canadian buyers.
Financing Manac trailers
Carriers often finance trailers in groups when they add freight, and owner-operators may finance a trailer with their tractor. Manac also offers maintenance, repair and inspection programs, and documented service history helps on used units.
How Manac equipment financing works
Most Manac 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.
Manac equipment we help finance
Financing Manac trailers
Trailers are financed alongside trucks or on their own. Lenders review trailer type (dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, lowboy, dump), model year, axle and suspension setup and, for reefers, the refrigeration unit's hours. Standard dry vans and flatbeds resell widely, while specialized trailers depend more on the buyer's contracts.
Manac trailers on our eligible equipment list include Manac 53 ft Dry Van Trailer, Manac Flatbed Trailer and Manac Grain Hopper Trailer.
What lenders check on a Manac trailer
Lenders look at model year, odometer reading, engine and emissions history, and your driving or operating experience. Long-haul use is often reviewed more closely than local or vocational work.
Expect to provide a credit application, recent business bank statements, the dealer quote or bill of sale with serial number and kilometres or miles, and financial statements or tax returns for larger amounts.

Tax treatment of Manac equipment
In Canada, trucks and tractors designed for hauling freight with a gross vehicle weight rating over 11,788 kg generally fall in CCA Class 16, while other trucks and vehicles generally fall in Class 10. Trailers have their own rules, so confirm the class 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.
