Heavy plant specialist lenders

Some of the strongest machinery finance pricing comes from lenders who specialise in construction, agricultural and industrial assets.

Asset-specific assessment

Lenders assess machinery differently from vehicles. We match you to those who understand the asset class.

New and used machinery covered

We arrange finance for new plant from dealers and quality used machinery from the secondary market.

Low doc options

Self-employed operators and small businesses with non-standard income can still access machinery finance.

Understand machinery finance

Machinery finance funds the plant a business works with, from excavators and loaders through to agricultural and workshop equipment, with the machine itself held as security.

The lender registers its interest on the PPSR. The assessment looks at the machine and the business together rather than at either on its own.

New, used, dealer, auction and private purchases can all be funded. Where you are buying shapes the shortlist as much as what you are buying.

Why choose machinery finance

A machine earns across years, and financing lines the cost up with the income it produces instead of taking the whole amount out of working capital at once.

Keeping that capital in the business is what pays for materials, wages and the next job. That is usually a better use of it than owning the machine outright a year sooner.

A structured term with a sensible balloon also makes replacement a planned event rather than something forced by a breakdown.

Deciding if machinery finance fits

Lenders classify plant by how readily it resells. Wheeled and tracked machines with active secondary markets are the most straightforward to place.

Specialised or fixed plant needs a lender who understands that industry, which is why a wide panel matters.

Hours matter the way kilometres do on a vehicle, and a high-hour machine with documented servicing often assesses better than a low-hour one without records.

How to apply for machinery finance

Start with the ABN, the trading history and the machine, including its make, model, year and hours. That combination sets the shortlist.

If you are buying at auction, bring your broker in before you bid, so the valuation and the settlement are arranged ahead of time.

One enquiry compares lenders, and pre-approval on a straightforward application is possible the same day.

Tips for machinery finance

Buy on what the machine earns each week against what it costs each week, with the repayment included in that sum.

Do not dismiss used plant with a solid service history. There are lenders who will fund it and the numbers frequently work out better than buying new.

Talk to your accountant early about how depreciation will be handled, and keep the business paperwork current so lenders are not ruled out unnecessarily.
