Equipment Financing for Forestry & Logging
Skidders, feller bunchers, harvesters, and processors financed by people who understand stumpage, mill quotas, and seasonal shutdowns.
How Elevex works
Forty seconds, start to funded.
The Reality
Mill quotas, stumpage prices, and mud seasons dictate production — not your loan schedule. Equipment is extreme-duty, high-ticket, and works in places lenders never visit. Most credit committees see nothing but risk.
Production-Season Structures
Payments matched to hauling seasons and quota cycles, with shutdown-month flexibility.
Extreme-Duty Asset Expertise
We know what a 6,000-hour feller buncher is worth and how it holds value — and we price structures accordingly.
New, Used & Rebuilt
Auction buys, dealer rebuilds, and new iron are all financeable — the acquisition path that fits your operation.
What You Get
- Application-only to $1,000,000 with decisions in minutes
- Structures designed around your actual business model
- $50,000 to $5,000,000+ transaction capability
- Direct relationship with seasoned finance professionals

Harvesting
Feller buncher financing, harvesters, and processors — high-hour extreme-duty machines valued by people who know what they're worth working.

Log truck and trailer financing, whole-tree chippers, and portable mills — getting wood to the mill on quota schedules.

Equipment Financing Guides
Deep dives on the specific equipment this industry runs — rates, structures, and what we finance.
Feller Buncher Financing
Finance tracked and wheeled feller bunchers with terms set inside undercarriage and saw-head life — new, used, rebuilt, and repowered.
Skidder Financing
Finance grapple and cable skidders with payments sized to mill quota rather than best-case production — new, used, and auction machines.
Forwarder Financing
Finance forwarders on their own or paired with a harvester as one cut-to-length system — the two machines only earn together.
Harvester Financing
Finance harvesters with the head and boom underwritten on their own hours — including standalone head replacements and rebuilds.
Delimber Financing
Finance pull-through and stroke delimbers, slasher saws, and excavator-mounted processing heads, sized to what the trucks can actually clear.
Log Loader Financing
Finance knuckleboom and track log loaders on near-continuous duty cycles — the machine that sets the pace at the landing.
Chipper & Grinder Financing
Finance horizontal grinders and whole-tree chippers at mill and land-clearing scale — 700 hp and up, financed against a fiber contract.
Sawmill Equipment Financing
Finance sawmill lines, edgers, kilns, and material handling as fixed plant — underwritten on throughput, with staged installs during shutdown.
Log Truck Financing
Finance log trucks with the trailer, self-loader, and scales on one schedule — priced by haul distance, permit weights, and off-road duty.
