Local dealer, not a form farm
You work with a Carson-based team that already knows the truck, the application, and the service plan.
FINANCING
Financing that fits the fleet plan
Put the right walkies, stackers, forklifts, and warehouse systems to work without forcing every acquisition into a single cash decision. Big Joe California helps Southern California operations explore lease and finance paths — then a rep walks the application off this website with the right partner.
This page does not collect Social Security numbers, dates of birth, or bank or card details. Financing interest is a contact request only.
WHY FINANCE OR LEASE
Keep cash moving when the floor needs the truck.
Warehouse work does not pause for a capital budget cycle. When you need a walkie, stacker, or forklift to keep pallets moving, paying cash for every unit can freeze working capital you still need for payroll, inventory, and peak season. Financing or leasing is not “extra cost for its own sake” — it is a way to put productive equipment on the floor now while spreading the acquisition across the period the truck is earning its keep. Whether a finance-style or lease-style path fits better depends on your operation; we help you sort that with a partner — without quoting rates or sample payments on this website.
Cash flow stays in the business
A lump-sum purchase is simple, but it pulls cash out of operations the same week the truck arrives. Structured acquisition paths can leave more liquidity for inventory turns, labor, and unexpected downtime — while the equipment is already working.
Equipment when throughput needs it
Waiting to “save up” can cost more in idle labor, rental stretch, and missed outbound than a planned finance conversation. The goal is the right truck on site when the work is there.
Match the structure to how you use the asset
Loan-style paths often aim at ownership over time. Lease-style paths often emphasize use of the asset for a term with end-of-term options that depend on the partner and agreement. Neither is universally “best” — fit depends on how long you will run the unit, how fast your operation changes, and tax/accounting preferences you discuss with your advisors. We introduce options; we do not give tax advice on this page.
No rates, payment examples, or approval odds are published here. Every structure is quoted for your application after a conversation with our team and, when appropriate, a finance partner.
WHAT WE DISCUSS
What can (and cannot) go on a finance conversation.
We would rather be straight about scope than waste your time. Here is what a financing conversation usually covers — and what it does not.
- New material-handling equipment
- Yes — primary use case (walkies, stackers, forklifts, and related fleet units we sell).
- Used / pre-owned equipment
- It depends on the unit — age, hours, condition, and partner appetite. Ask us; we will be honest if a unit is a poor finance candidate.
- Racking / larger project packages
- Often discussable when the structure fits a partner program — not every small add-on.
- Rentals
- Not financed here. Rentals are a separate pay-as-you-go path — use them to bridge downtime or peaks while you buy or wait on lead time.
- Parts-only purchases
- Not a finance product on this site. Order parts through our parts desk.
On minimums
Most external finance partners set a minimum financed amount, so smaller purchases can still inquire but are less often approved. Our in-house EKM option is sometimes the better conversation for smaller needs, though EKM does not always take every risk either. Nothing on this page promises approval — and we do not publish specific minimums, rates, or payment examples on this website.
Final eligibility, structure, and any minimums are set by the partner and the specific deal — not by a web form.
Rentals bridge the gap
Need capacity while you decide or wait on equipment? Ask about rentals (separate from financing).
Four paths to discuss
EKM (in-house option) plus PNC, TriFin, and Verdant — contact-us only; no SSN or bank fields online.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps — and the application never lives on this site.
- 01
Tell us the equipment
Share the units, the timeline, and how you run — through the contact form below or a call.
- 02
We match a path
Your rep points you at the right lane — our in-house EKM option or a finance partner (PNC, TriFin, Verdant).
- 03
The application continues off-site
Any credit application, identity check, or financial-account step happens with the partner or through a controlled channel — never as open fields on this website.
FOUR PATHS
One in-house option and three finance partners.
Each path is a conversation, not a form. The website only captures your interest and contact details — never credit credentials.
EKM
In-house optionEKM is Big Joe’s in-house financing option — a path coordinated through our team when it fits your acquisition. Start with a conversation about the equipment and timeline; if EKM is the right lane, your rep will guide the next steps outside this website.
PNC
Finance partnerPNC is one of the external finance partners we can introduce when a customer wants a bank-affiliated equipment finance conversation. We do not take a full credit application on this site. Tell us about the fleet need; we route the introduction appropriately.
TriFin
Finance partnerTriFin is an external finance partner available through our financing conversations for material-handling acquisitions. Suitability depends on the equipment, structure, and underwriting — handled with a rep, not a self-serve form here.
Verdant
Finance partnerVerdant is an external finance partner we may introduce as part of matching a customer to a viable funding path. As with all partners on this page, the website only captures interest and contact details — not credit credentials.

HOW THIS WORKS
How financing requests work on this site
When you submit the form on this page, you are asking Big Joe Lift Trucks Inc. to contact you about equipment financing options. You are not submitting a consumer or commercial credit application through this website.
- We may share your contact details and a summary of your equipment interest with our team and, where appropriate, with a finance partner (PNC, TriFin, Verdant, or our in-house EKM option) so they can continue the conversation.
- We do not collect Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, bank account numbers, routing numbers, or payment-card data on this website.
- Any credit application, identity verification, or financial-account information happens later, through a partner’s process or a controlled channel your rep identifies — never as open fields on bigjoeca.com.
- Submitting this form is not a guarantee of approval, rates, or terms. Partners underwrite independently.
- See our Privacy Policy for how we use contact information, and our Terms for site use.
Credit-check note: Submitting this form is not a credit application and does not by itself run a finance-partner credit pull. If you later apply with a partner, they may pull credit and will disclose as their process requires.
Talk to us about financing
Requesting financing information sends a contact request to our team. We do not collect Social Security numbers or bank account details on this website. Any credit application is completed separately with a finance partner or with your rep.
Common questions
- Can I apply for credit on this website?
- No. This page only collects a financing interest contact request. Applications happen off-site with a partner or through a process your rep coordinates.
- Why don’t you show monthly payments or rates?
- Rates and payments depend on credit, structure, equipment, and partner programs. Publishing a teaser rate would be misleading. Ask for a conversation grounded in your deal.
- What is EKM?
- EKM is Big Joe’s in-house financing option, presented alongside external partners PNC, TriFin, and Verdant. Your rep helps determine which path fits.
- Will filling this form hurt my credit score?
- No — not by itself. Submitting this form is a contact request to Big Joe Lift Trucks Inc. It is not a credit application and does not by itself trigger a partner credit pull. If you later complete an application with a finance partner (or a controlled process your rep coordinates), that partner may evaluate credit and will provide the disclosures their process requires.
- Do you finance used equipment or racking?
- Used: it depends on the unit — ask us. Racking / packages: sometimes, when the structure fits. Rentals and parts-only: not financed through this page (rentals are separate; parts go through the parts desk).
- Is there a minimum amount?
- Most external partners set a minimum financed amount, so smaller purchases can still inquire but are less often approved. Our in-house EKM option is sometimes the better conversation for smaller needs, and still not guaranteed. We do not publish specific minimums on this website — your rep will tell you honestly if a purchase is too small to be a good finance candidate.
- Can I pay cash or use my own bank instead?
- Yes. Financing is optional. Request a standard equipment quote anytime.
