CRANE FINANCE

Crane Finance for Australian Lifting Operators

Our brokers understand the crane industry. We work with lenders who value cranes correctly based on brand, capacity, configuration, and application. From 3t pick and carry cranes to 500t+ all terrain units, we have finance options for every lifting requirement.

Cranes are high value assets that demand specialist finance. Whether you are a crane hire company expanding your fleet, a construction contractor buying your first mobile crane, or a mining operation needing a crawler crane, we arrange finance with terms that reflect the earning capacity of these machines.

The right crane at the right time wins contracts.

Crane hire rates are strong and demand is consistent across construction, mining, and infrastructure. Getting the right finance on a crane quickly means you can take on work sooner and start earning return on your investment.
