Second Hand Flatbed Truck Finance Australia
Need second hand flatbed truck finance for used trucks and trailers? Overdrive Funding compares 80+ lenders on one application so you can buy from a dealer, private seller or auction without paying cash up front.
We arrange used-asset finance for Australian ABN holders — sole traders, companies, trusts and contractors — across freight, logistics, waste, construction, mining and agriculture.
Second hand does not mean second-rate finance
Lenders price used trucks and trailers on age, brand, condition and resale — not only on your credit file.
A specialist broker puts the file with funders who actually buy used and auction risk. That is how you get a workable rate and term on a truck a major bank may decline.
Where the second hand truck can come from
- Truck dealerships
- Private sellers
- Auctions
Eligible applicants may access no-deposit finance, terms up to 7 years and balloon options. In many cases the used truck is the security. Extra property is often not required, subject to lender criteria.
Used trucks and trailers we finance
Second hand prime movers, tippers, tow trucks, refrigerated trucks, crane trucks, curtainsiders, flatbeds and other used commercial trucks.
No age restriction on many assets, subject to the lender and the condition of the truck.

No current financials? For eligible ABN holders, low-doc, lite-doc and no-doc finance up to $500,000 may be available on used trucks and trailers. Full-doc remains available for larger amounts and sharper pricing.
Fast approvals on used and auction buys
Same-day pre-approval and decisions within 24 to 48 hours may be available on eligible files — including auction pickup deadlines. Pre-approvals can be valid for 90 days while you inspect or bid.

| Businesses with bank statements and BAS available | Light Doc |

Low Doc Truck Finance
Low Doc finance is designed for borrowers who want a simple, streamlined approval process. In most cases, no financial statements or BAS statements are required. Approval is generally based on your ABN history, credit profile, and the asset being financed.
Light Doc Truck Finance
Light Doc finance provides a middle ground between Low Doc and Full Doc lending. Borrowers can often qualify using recent business bank statements and limited supporting documentation, without the need for full financial accounts.
Full Doc Truck Finance
Full Doc finance is suitable for borrowers who can provide complete financial records and supporting documentation. This option typically offers the most competitive rates and highest borrowing capacity.
Second Hand Flatbed Truck Finance — frequently asked questions
What are flatbed truck finance rates in Australia?
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.
Can I get flatbed truck finance with just an ABN?
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.
Can I finance a new or used flatbed truck?
Yes. We arrange finance for new, used and older flatbed trucks, whether you’re buying from a dealer, private seller or auction. The age, value and condition of a used flatbed truck can influence which lenders and finance options are available. We can compare options from lenders that finance a wide range of used and older trucks to find a suitable deal for your circumstances.
Can I get flatbed truck finance with no deposit?
Yes. No deposit flatbed truck finance may allow eligible ABN holders to finance up to 100% of the purchase price with no upfront deposit. Eligibility depends on your business history, credit profile, financial position and the flatbed truck being purchased.
Can I get low doc flatbed truck finance?
Yes. Low doc flatbed truck finance up to $500,000 may be available to eligible ABN holders without providing a full set of financial statements and tax returns. Depending on the lender, BAS statements, business bank statements, an accountant declaration or other supporting documents may be accepted.
Can I get flatbed truck finance without financials?
Yes. Eligible ABN holders may qualify for no financials flatbed truck finance without providing full financial statements or tax returns. Lenders may instead consider your ABN and GST history, credit profile, business history and the flatbed truck being financed.
How much can I borrow for a flatbed truck?
Depending on your circumstances, low-doc flatbed truck finance may be available up to $500,000, while full-doc finance can extend to $5–10 million+ for larger purchases or fleets. Your borrowing capacity will depend on your business financials, trading history, the flatbed truck being financed and the lender’s criteria.
What loan terms are available for flatbed truck finance?
Flatbed truck finance terms are generally available from 1 to 7 years, depending on the lender, the age of the flatbed truck and your circumstances. We can structure the term and repayments around your business cash flow and how long you plan to keep the truck.
Can I get flatbed truck finance with bad credit?
Yes. Having bad credit doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t get flatbed truck finance. We work with a range of lenders and can explore options based on your individual circumstances, business history and the flatbed truck you’re looking to finance. Every application is different, so approval isn’t guaranteed, but we’ll work to find the most suitable finance option available for your situation.
Can I finance a flatbed truck from a private seller or auction?
Yes. Flatbed truck finance can be arranged for dealer purchases, private sales and auction purchases. Private and auction purchases can have different lender, valuation and documentation requirements, so getting the finance organised before committing to the purchase can make the process easier.
What finance options are available for flatbed trucks?
Flatbed trucks can be financed using a chattel mortgage, commercial hire purchase, finance lease and other truck finance structures. The right option depends on your business, cash flow, ownership requirements and tax position.
How does a balloon payment work on flatbed truck finance?
A balloon is a lump sum left owing at the end of the finance term. Including a balloon can reduce your regular repayments, but it leaves a larger amount to pay or refinance at the end. The right balloon depends on your flatbed truck, finance structure and business cash flow.
How quickly can flatbed truck finance be approved?
Most of the time, we can get same-day approval. Some applications may take 24 to 48 hours, depending on the flatbed truck you’re purchasing, your business background, the complexity of the application, and whether the lender requires any additional information or documentation. We work to match your application with the most suitable lender from the outset, helping keep the approval process as quick and straightforward as possible.
Does getting a flatbed truck finance quote affect my credit score?
Getting a flatbed truck finance quote with Overdrive has zero impact on your credit score. We don’t require any upfront credit checks to provide you with a quote. A formal credit enquiry is only made once you give us the go-ahead to proceed with your application and we submit it to the most suitable lender.
Can I finance multiple flatbed trucks or an entire fleet?
Yes. Flatbed truck fleet finance is available for businesses purchasing multiple trucks or expanding an existing fleet. Eligible businesses may access low doc finance up to $500,000, or full doc finance from smaller purchases through to $10 million+ for larger fleet transactions. Finance can be structured around your business cash flow, existing commitments and fleet requirements, with lender pricing negotiated based on the strength and size of the transaction.
