Louisiana is in the middle of the largest industrial construction wave in its history: a $50 billion data center in Richland Parish, a $5.8 billion steel mill in Ascension Parish, a new Calcasieu River bridge, and LNG projects along the coast on top of 150 plants and 15 refineries that never stop turning around. That work runs on cranes, excavators, telehandlers, and heavy haul, and the contractors doing it need equipment on short notice.
We place Louisiana files with equipment lenders that fund in the state without friction, from a Baton Rouge industrial contractor to a Lafayette oilfield service company to a sugarcane operation near Houma. Options in 24 to 48 hours on a soft inquiry.

About financing in Louisiana
Equipment financing in Louisiana is arranged through Land Tech Capital's network of third-party lenders and lessors. Land Tech Capital is a New York based commercial finance broker, not a lender, and does not hold a Louisiana license. Your financing agreement will be with the lender or lessor, who provides any disclosures Louisiana law requires. No fee is charged to you before funding, and we are paid by the lender when a deal closes.
Questions we get
Can a crane company finance a used all-terrain crane for plant work?
Yes. Cranes are a specialized program with inspection and age requirements, and used units are financed regularly. Bring the annual inspection certificate and hour meter reading with the application.
Is a cane harvester exempt from Louisiana sales tax?
Certified commercial farmers pay no sales tax on the first $150,000 of each qualifying farm machine. Above that, tax applies to the excess.
Do you finance oilfield trucks for a new service company?
Yes. Start-up programs count oilfield experience even when the company is new. Expect 10 to 20 percent down and a personal guarantee on the first unit.
