About this template
What is this template?
This document is a formal deed that pledges movable machinery as collateral for a loan while leaving the equipment in the borrower's hands. It is not a mortgage of real property or a simple unsecured promissory note. It contains specific schedules for asset description and repayment installments.
When should you use it?
Use this when a creditor is paying a manufacturer directly for equipment that the borrower will use and eventually own. Use a Chattel Mortgage if the jurisdiction does not recognize hypothecation of movable assets.
