Unbeatable Rates - Always Compare Before Signing
We're known for securing the cheapest mobile crane finance rates, consistently beating quotes from banks, dealerships, and other brokers. Through our free machinery loan comparison service, we'll compare any quote against our panel to secure you a lower rate with reduced repayments. Never rely on a verbal interest rate. Many brokers and dealer quote rates over the phone without disclosing all fees and charges, making finance appear cheaper than it really is. That's why it's essential to get your quote in writing to compare actual repayments, as they reveal the true cost of the loan. If you've received a quote, send it through for a free review. We'll break down the interest rate, repayments, fees, loan structure, and total cost, identify any hidden charges, and let you know if a better deal is available. A few minutes spent comparing finance options could save your business thousands over the life of the loan.
Get Pre-Approved Before You Buy
A mobile crane finance pre-approval gives you a real advantage when buying from a dealership, auction, or private seller. With finance already in place, you'll know exactly what you can afford and have greater negotiating power as a serious buyer. We'll confirm your borrowing capacity, interest rate, loan term, and estimated repayments upfront. With decisions available in as little as 24 hours and approvals valid for up to 90 days, you'll be ready to act when the right mobile crane finance comes along. Simply send us the invoice and we'll arrange settlement and release the funds.

FAQ
Mobile Crane Finance — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this type of finance — answered.
What are current crane finance rates in Australia?
Crane finance rates currently range from around 7.20% to 10%+ per annum. New mobile cranes from major manufacturers for established operators attract the sharpest rates. Older, high-lift capacity and specialist crane types carry higher rates. We compare 80+ lenders to find the best available deal for your crane type and business profile.
What types of cranes can you finance?
We finance mobile cranes, crawler cranes, pick-and-carry cranes, franna cranes, knuckle boom cranes and all-terrain cranes across all lifting capacities -- new and used.
What crane brands do you finance?
We finance Liebherr, Tadano, Terex, Manitowoc, Grove, Franna, Kato, Kobelco, Link-Belt and Zoomlion -- from dealers, private sellers or auction.
Can I get crane finance with low documentation?
Yes. Low doc is available up to $500k with just your ABN, driver's licence and bank statements.
Can I finance a used or ex-hire crane?
Yes. We finance used cranes including ex-hire and ex-fleet units. No blanket age restrictions -- assessed based on condition, certification history and value.
Can I finance crane attachments?
In many cases, jib extensions, man cages and accessories can be bundled into the crane finance package.
What finance structure is best for crane finance?
Chattel mortgage is most common -- ownership from day one, GST claimed upfront, depreciated at tax time. Finance lease available for off-balance-sheet treatment.
Is a deposit required?
No deposit is required for eligible ABN holders with a strong credit and trading profile. A deposit can help improve your rate or secure approval if your credit profile is less straightforward.
Can I finance a used asset?
Yes. Finance is available for new and used assets. Age limits vary by lender and asset type. We identify the right lender for your specific asset.
How quickly can I get approved?
Most applications receive a decision within 24–48 hours. Once approved, your pre-approval is valid for 90 days.
Can I get low doc finance?
Yes. Low doc (no financial statements) finance is available up to $500,000 for eligible ABN holders. We typically need your ABN, driver's licence and bank statements.
Can I finance from a private seller?
Yes. We arrange finance for assets purchased from private sellers anywhere in Australia. The lender pays the seller directly on settlement.
Can I finance with bad credit?
Yes. Specialist lenders on our panel consider applicants with a range of credit profiles, including those who have been declined by banks.
What is the typical loan term?
Loan terms typically range from 2 to 7 years depending on the asset type, value and your cash flow requirements.
Can I refinance existing finance?
Yes. Refinancing can reduce your rate, lower repayments or release equity. We compare refinance options across 80+ lenders.
Are repayments tax-deductible?
Interest repayments under a chattel mortgage are tax-deductible. You can also claim depreciation on the asset and GST upfront. Speak with your accountant about your specific situation.
Is insurance required?
Yes. Most lenders require comprehensive insurance before settlement. We can assist with arranging cover.
Can I use a balloon payment?
Yes. A balloon payment reduces monthly repayments by deferring a lump sum to the end of the term. We size it to match the asset's expected resale value.
Does applying affect my credit score?
No. Submitting an enquiry with us doesn't affect your credit score. We only proceed to a formal credit application with your explicit approval.
What is the minimum loan amount?
Most lenders have a minimum of $10,000–$20,000 for asset finance. We'll confirm the minimum for your specific asset type.
