What does a monthly payment actually look like?

Sample monthly payments on common Noblelift configurations at 8.5% APR (mid-range of typical 2026 equipment-financing approvals). Your actual rate depends on credit profile, term, and structure ($1 buyout vs FMV).

Frequently asked

Financing FAQ

Do I have to finance through PHS Lift?

No. You can pay by ACH, wire, or check at invoice. Financing exists for buyers who want to preserve working capital or spread the cost across multiple periods. About 60% of our orders use financing in some form; 40% pay cash.

What credit score do I need?

For Net-30: PHS Lift uses business credit (Paydex, Experian Intelliscore, D&B rating) plus trade references — personal FICO is not the primary factor. For equipment financing: lenders typically want 650+ personal FICO on principals AND 2+ years in business AND $250K+ annual revenue for streamlined approval. Below those thresholds, we can still find paths but expect a higher rate.

Can I use Section 179 for the full purchase?

Equipment financed via a $1-buyout structure is treated as owned for tax purposes — Section 179 applies. True-lease structures (fair market value buyout) are deductible as lease expense instead. The right structure depends on your tax position; talk to your CPA before signing. PHS Lift can structure either.

What's the difference between $1 buyout and FMV lease?

$1 buyout = you own the truck at end of term for $1. Higher monthly payment, but the truck is yours and Section 179 applies upfront. FMV (fair market value) lease = you can buy the truck for ~10–20% of original price at end of term, return it, or extend. Lower monthly payment, but you're renting the equipment over the term.

Are there prepayment penalties?

Net-30: no penalty (it's a 30-day term, not a loan). Affirm: no penalty — pay off any month without fee. Equipment financing: depends on the lender — some have early-payoff penalties for the first 12 months, some don't. We'll surface this in the term sheet before you sign.

Can I finance multiple trucks on one application?

Yes — and for fleet orders (3+ trucks) we generally recommend equipment financing because it spreads the total cost into one monthly payment. Net-30 also works for fleet orders if you have the credit line, but the equipment-finance route preserves Net-30 capacity for parts, accessories, and recurring needs.

What about used equipment?

Net-30 and Affirm work the same on used. Equipment financing on used trucks is available but lenders cap loan term at the truck's expected remaining useful life (typically 36–48 months for a used truck vs. 60–72 for new). Rates may be 0.5–1.5% higher on used.

Do I need to put money down?

Net-30: zero down. Affirm: depends on the buyer's pre-qualification — often zero down. Equipment financing: typically 10–20% down for new trucks, sometimes zero down for buyers with strong credit profiles or established trade history.

Do you accept Klarna or Afterpay?

Yes — both surface automatically at Stripe checkout. Klarna offers Pay-in-4 (interest-free over 6 weeks) plus longer-term monthly financing, with order limits up to ~$30K — comparable to Affirm. Afterpay is Pay-in-4 only and caps individual orders around $4K, so it's best for parts, accessories, attachments, or smaller pallet jacks. For full forklift purchases, Klarna and Affirm both work; for orders above $30K, use equipment financing or Net-30 on approved business credit.
