Leasing

lift truck collage Discover the advantage of leasing Raymond® equipment.

Your Raymond Dealer and Raymond Leasing Corporation can provide you with a convenient, flexible Raymond equipment solution.

According to the Equipment Lessors Association, 8 out of 10 businesses use lease financing to acquire the capital equipment they need to grow. Over $130 billion of equipment a year is acquired through lease financing. Over 65 percent of Fortune 1000 companies lease. Large and small businesses use leasing as an alternative to equipment acquisition.

Why Lease?

  • Fix your equipment costs. You obtain the use of the equipment for an agreed-upon (monthly or quarterly) payment.
  • Avoid operational obsolescence. At the end of the lease term, you can return equipment that no longer fits your operational needs. And, your Raymond Dealer handles disposition of the returned trucks.
  • Tax advantages. Depending on lease terms lease payments may be fully deductible as a business expense. Talk to your accountant.
  • Minimized balance sheet liabilities. Lease payments may be eligible for “off-balance sheet” treatment.
  • Finance soft costs. You may be able to include expenses associated with equipment use—such as shipping, installation and sales tax—in the lease agreement.
  • Preservation of bank credit lines. Leasing won’t tie up your existing lines of credit—so they remain intact to fuel growth or meet expenses.
  • Flexibility. You can structure payment terms to meet cash flow or budgetary requirements. Lease terms can range from 12 to 84 months and may be extended with flexible renewal options. At lease end, you can purchase the equipment, upgrade to new equipment or continue the lease.
  • Master Lease offers flexibility with an open-ended approach allowing for addition of future equipment and terms, payment plans and tax treatment all tailored to your specific needs.
  • True Lease is fully deductible and available on new or used equipment, with or without options to purchase, terms up to 7 years with fixed monthly payments allowing for the lowest monthly payments.
  • True Lease with Guaranteed Residual provides our lowest cost-of-equipment-use and is available on new or rebuilt equipment, with options to return, to purchase or to lease again, with terms up to 7 years and fixed monthly payments.
  • Capital Lease provides benefits of ownership without large cash for new or used equipment, with a nominal $1 purchase option, terms up to 7 years with fixed monthly payments.
  • Full Maintenance Lease assures service at a known cost with a maintenance support feature that may be incorporated into any Raymond leasing plan. This plan includes full maintenance by your Raymond Dealer for peace of mind at a predictable, predetermined price.
