Second Hand Flatbed Truck Finance

Flatbed truck finance rates typically start from around 6.55% and can range to 15%, depending on your credit profile, business history, financials, the age and value of the flatbed truck, loan amount and preferred loan terms. Eligible applicants financing newer flatbed trucks may qualify for rates at the lower end of this range. We compare options across 80+ lenders to find competitive rates and repayments suited to your circumstances, and negotiate directly with lenders for a better deal where possible. Rates are indicative only and subject to lender criteria, credit assessment, fees, terms and approval.

Not with an ABN alone. If you’re a new business or don’t have full financials, there are lenders that may still consider your application, but they’ll generally want to see a registered business, a confirmed source of work with a reputable company, and usually a deposit. The work doesn’t necessarily need to be under a formal contract, but the lender will typically want to verify the work details verbally. The deposit required will vary depending on your overall credit profile, business experience and the flatbed truck you’re purchasing. We can assess your situation and determine which lenders and finance options are available without putting you through unnecessary applications.
