Finance for Every Type of Construction Equipment

Australia's construction industry relies on a vast range of specialised equipment. Whether you are a sole trader with a mini excavator or a civil contractor running a fleet of 50-tonne machines, having the right equipment is essential for winning contracts, meeting deadlines, and running a profitable operation.

We finance the full spectrum of construction equipment including excavators from 1.5 tonne mini machines to 50+ tonne units for major earthworks; wheel loaders and skid steer loaders for material handling; bulldozers and graders for site preparation; cranes including mobile, tower, and crawler configurations; concrete equipment including pumps, mixers, and batch plants; and specialised attachments including rock breakers, augers, and tilt buckets.

Our lender panel includes specialists who understand construction equipment values, depreciation rates, and the unique cash flow patterns of the building and civil contracting industries. This means faster approvals, better rates, and finance terms that align with how your business operates.

New vs Used Construction Equipment Finance

Both new and used construction equipment can be financed through our panel. New equipment from authorised dealers typically attracts the best rates and longest terms because the value is well-established and manufacturer warranties provide additional security for the lender.

Used construction equipment finance is where our broker expertise adds the most value. Not all lenders will finance used equipment, and those that do have varying age limits, condition requirements, and pricing policies. We know which lenders offer the best terms for used Cat excavators, which are most competitive for older Komatsu loaders, and which will finance private sale equipment without a dealer invoice.

For construction businesses, used equipment often represents the best value for money. A 3 to 5-year-old excavator may cost 40% to 60% less than new but still have decades of working life remaining. The finance savings on the lower purchase price can then fund additional equipment or working capital for your business.

Construction Industry Finance Considerations

Construction businesses have unique characteristics that affect equipment finance. Contract-based income means revenue can be lumpy, with significant payments followed by quiet periods between projects. Seasonal factors in some regions also affect work volumes and cash flow.

Our specialist construction equipment lenders understand these patterns and structure finance accordingly. Options include seasonal repayment schedules that align with your work patterns, balloon payments that match your equipment replacement cycle, and flexible terms that account for the construction industry's natural cash flow variations.

For builders and civil contractors tendering on new projects, having equipment finance pre-approved allows you to commit to contract timelines with confidence. We can provide pre-approval letters that demonstrate your capacity to acquire the required equipment, strengthening your tender submissions.

Financing Attachments and Accessories

Construction equipment often requires specialised attachments that can add significantly to the total cost. Buckets, rock breakers, augers, tilt hitches, and other accessories can be included in your equipment finance package rather than being a separate cash expense.

We can structure finance to include the base machine plus all required attachments in a single facility. This simplifies your administration, ensures consistent tax treatment, and allows you to spread the full setup cost over the finance term rather than requiring upfront cash for accessories.

Construction Equipment Finance FAQs

What construction equipment can I finance?
We finance virtually all construction equipment including excavators (mini to 50+ tonne), wheel loaders, skid steers, backhoes, bulldozers, cranes (mobile, tower, crawler), concrete pumps, concrete mixers, compactors, graders, dump trucks, and scaffolding. Both new and quality used equipment from all major brands.
Can I finance used construction equipment?
Yes. We finance quality used construction equipment from reputable dealers and private sellers. Most lenders accept equipment up to 15-20 years old at end of the finance term, provided it is in good working condition. Independent inspections may be required for older or higher-value assets.
How much deposit do I need for construction equipment finance?
Many lenders offer 100% finance for construction equipment, meaning no deposit is required. A deposit reduces your repayments and may improve your rate. For used equipment or applicants with limited credit history, a deposit of 10-20% may be requested.
What finance structure is best for construction equipment?
Chattel mortgage is the most popular choice for GST-registered construction businesses because it allows you to claim the full GST input credit upfront and claim depreciation. For equipment you plan to upgrade regularly, an operating lease may be more suitable. We can advise on the best structure.
Can new construction businesses get equipment finance?
Yes. While established businesses get the best rates, we have lenders who specialise in financing equipment for new construction operators. Your personal credit history, industry experience, and any existing equipment or contracts are assessed alongside the ABN trading period.
How quickly can I get approved for construction equipment finance?
Most construction equipment finance applications are approved within 24 hours. For straightforward applications with good credit and established businesses, same-day approval is possible. This allows you to secure equipment quickly when contracts demand it.
