View Plugin Page | XtremePlugins.com
Overview
Xtreme Crane Calculator is a purpose-built financing tool for crane dealers, rental companies, and heavy equipment contractors. It ships with two shortcodes covering two distinct use cases — a full-featured calculator for detailed proposals and a lightweight version suited to landing pages and lead forms.
Features
Full Calculator — [xtreme_crane_loan_calculator]
- Five loan types: Equipment Loan, Equipment Finance Agreement, FMV Lease, $1 Buyout Lease, Balloon Loan
- Five crane presets with realistic financing defaults: Mobile, Tower, Crane Truck, Rough Terrain, Crawler
- Soft cost financing: sales tax, delivery, installation, inspection, registration, and other fees — each separately itemised and optionally financed
- Trade-in value input with automatic net equity calculation
- Four payment frequencies: monthly, quarterly, semiannual, annual
- Deferred first payment toggle (30-day deferral with accrued interest rolled into balance)
- Balloon / residual value support for balloon loans and FMV leases
- Full amortization schedule with CSV export and print layout
- Three Chart.js charts: donut (principal vs interest split), balance decline line, stacked payment composition over time
- Scenario comparison: save up to 5 configurations and compare side by side with a grouped bar chart
- PDF download via bundled jsPDF — full amortization table included in the export
- Shareable URL parameters — encode current inputs in the URL for bookmarking or sharing with colleagues
- New vs used equipment toggle
Lite Calculator — [xtreme_crane_calculator_lite]
- Streamlined 5-input layout: crane price, down payment, interest rate, term, and taxes/fees
- Three quick presets with SVG crane icons: Mobile Crane ($350K), Tower Crane ($850K), Used Crane Truck ($220K)
- Tabbed results panel: Payment Estimate, Loan Breakdown, Amortization
- Donut chart with principal/interest legend
- Expandable amortization table
- Mobile-first responsive design with 4 breakpoints
- Minimal asset footprint — loads independently of the full calculator
Both Versions
- CSS-isolated with scoped class namespaces (
.xclc,.xclcl) to prevent theme conflicts - Assets loaded only on pages that contain the shortcode
- No external API calls — Chart.js and jsPDF are bundled
- Works with any WordPress theme
