Updated
Priced at $48,000, the Crown RC 5500 competes in the reach trucks segment and carries a 8,700 lb operating weight — full financing math is below.
The numbers below assume a 60-month $1-buyout capital lease on the $48,000 RC 5500: $1,000/mo at an estimated 8.5% APR, ending in full ownership rather than a residual payoff. For financing at this level, this is a common "app-only" financing range for lenders serving small and mid-size contractors. Across the full 60-month term, total payments come to $60,011 — about $12,011 above the $48,000 cash price, which is the real cost of financing instead of paying up front.
At an estimated $1,000/month, this ranks #4 of 6 by estimated payment among currently priced reach trucks models — 2% above the reach trucks average of $983/mo.
