About Manitou
Manitou is a French equipment maker headquartered in Ancenis, France. Its group brands include Manitou and Gehl. Manitou is known for rough-terrain telehandlers, a category it helped popularize, along with aerial work platforms, forklifts and compact equipment.
Manitou equipment
Manitou telehandlers are used in construction, agriculture and industry. The Gehl brand covers skid steers, compact track loaders and other compact equipment common in North America.
How lenders view Manitou equipment
Telehandlers and compact loaders have a broad resale market. Lenders review lift height and capacity, hours, boom and hydraulic condition, and attachments. Farm buyers may get payments matched to their income cycle.
Financing Manitou equipment
Manitou and Gehl dealers may offer programs on new machines. Independent lenders and farm lenders can be compared, especially for used units and attachment packages.
How Manitou equipment financing works
Most Manitou 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.
Manitou equipment we help finance
Financing Manitou telehandlers
Telehandlers are financed by contractors, farms and rental fleets. Lenders look at lift height, capacity, hours and attachment packages. Their wide use across industries gives them a healthy resale market.
Manitou telehandlers on our eligible equipment list include Manitou MRT 2150 Telehandler.
What lenders check on a Manitou telehandler
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 Manitou 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.
