Resource equipment financing for harsh operating environments

Merrit Capital finances commercial equipment used by Canadian resource contractors and support businesses. We review the asset, environment, contract or work program and deployment plan without assuming that every specialized machine or transaction will qualify.

Equipment commonly financed

Assets used in oil, gas & mining

Examples include the equipment below. Eligibility depends on commercial use, transaction size, condition, seller and lender requirements.

  • Heavy vocational and service trucks
  • Drilling and exploration support equipment
  • Compressors and generators
  • Pumps and fluid-handling systems
  • Excavators, loaders and dozers
  • Cranes and material-handling equipment
  • Fuel, water and support trailers
  • Harsh-environment camps and eligible support assets

Specialization increases the need for evidence

Remote and harsh-environment assets may have limited resale markets or intensive duty cycles. Detailed specifications, condition, maintenance, contract context and a reasonable purchase price help lenders understand the risk.

Project work can be cyclical. Lenders may review customer concentration, backlog, historical results, mobilization costs and the borrower’s experience with the equipment. A signed contract helps, but it does not replace a full credit review.

Qualification is transaction-specific. Merrit Capital does not promise approval, rates, down payment, term or funding time before a lender has reviewed the borrower, asset and documents.

Common financing scenarios

Where financing often fits

The business purpose should be specific enough to show how the equipment supports capacity, reliability or a defined service.

Mobilize for a defined program

Acquire support equipment tied to a credible contract, site or operating plan.

Replace unreliable remote assets

Reduce the exposure created when a failed pump, compressor or service truck stops a crew far from support.

Build a specialized package

Finance durable truck-mounted or trailer-mounted equipment when the build, supplier and end use are well documented.

Prepare the request

Information that helps a lender understand the deal

Not every item is required in every transaction, but these details frequently matter in oil, gas & mining.

  • Contract, site or work program
  • Duty cycle and operating environment
  • Specialized build and resale market
  • Mobilization and remote-service requirements
  • Maintenance and inspection records
  • Customer concentration and project timing

Industry questions

Oil and mining equipment financing FAQ

Can drilling support equipment be financed?

Commercial drilling and support assets may be considered when specifications, supplier, condition, intended use and credit information are complete.

Do you finance pumps, compressors and generators?

Industrial units may be eligible as stand-alone assets or part of a qualifying equipment package.

Can used resource equipment be financed?

Yes, subject to age, hours, condition, specialization, value, seller and lender requirements.

Does a contract guarantee approval?

No. Contracted work is useful context, but the lender also reviews the borrower, asset, price, cash flow and overall exposure.

Can equipment for a remote project be considered?

It may be. Deployment, serviceability, insurance, transportation and recovery considerations should be addressed clearly.
