High-value machines, remote operations, and capital tied up in iron — Northgate helps forestry contractors free up cash and keep cutting.
Forestry equipment is expensive, works hard, and depreciates fast. A skidder fleet or processor line represents serious capital — and for contractors running on contract revenue, that capital needs to work efficiently. Northgate has deep experience financing forestry equipment across Western Canada and northern B.C., working with logging contractors, timber companies, and independent operators.
Sale-leaseback is particularly common in forestry — it lets you pull equity from machinery you already own without selling it. If you have a fleet with clean titles and residual value, we can structure a sale-leaseback to put cash back in your hands while you continue operating the equipment under a lease.
We understand the forestry business — contract timelines, seasonal access, and the capital-intensive nature of maintaining a productive fleet. Sale-leaseback, refinance, and working capital solutions are all available depending on where your operation is at. If you're consolidating multiple equipment loans or looking to free up cash for a new contract, we'll find the structure that works.
