Specialist finance for new and used Hitachi machinery, from Zaxis mini excavators through to construction-class and ultra-class mining excavators, plus ZW wheel loaders, EH rigid dump trucks and material handlers. Equifund matches your application to the lender that scores machinery on business cashflow, contracts and asset value, not a one-size-fits-all credit template. Hitachi's excavator engineering, ConSite support and strong resale across the civil and resources sectors protect your investment, and we use that strength to push for sharper terms across our panel of 80+ lenders.
Choose the category that best describes your finance requirement.
No obligation. Soft credit check only.
Established civil contractors, earthmovers, quarry operators and mining-services subcontractors are often knocked back by banks, stalled in single-lender queues, or locked into one product by dealer finance. Usually it comes down to the same things: invoice-based or progress-claim income, no residential property to offer as security, or a credit file marked from rate shopping. Whether you are adding a Zaxis excavator for a new contract, replacing a wheel loader, or putting a dump trucks on the books, the standard bank template rarely fits the job.
Your application goes to specialist equipment lenders who assess business income, asset value and trading history directly, in one structured submission with no multi-lender credit hits.
From mini Zaxis excavators to wheel loaders, mining excavators and rigid dump trucks.
Construction-class Zaxis excavators from around 5 to 50 tonne for civil, trenching, bulk earthworks and general site work, the machine Hitachi is built on.
Compact and mini Zaxis excavators for landscaping, civil, drainage and tight-access work, popular with owner-operators and hire fleets.
Hitachi ZW wheel loaders, compact through to large, for quarries, aggregates, material handling and load-and-carry.
EH rigid dump trucks for mine-site and large civil haul, from compact units through to ultra-class mining machines.
Ultra-class EX mining excavators for overburden, bulk earthworks and resources work, matched to contract and mine-life cycles.
How Hitachi finance for ABN holders compares across your three funding options.
| Equifund, Commercial Finance Specialist | Major Bank | Dealer Finance | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who They Lend To | Established ABN holders, sole traders to hire fleets, assessed on the business and the asset. | Prefers strong financials or PAYG strength, often backed by property. | Whoever is buying that brand at the desk, on a take-it-or-leave-it offer. |
| Income Assessed | Progress-claim, contract and BAS income. Low-doc for established ABNs, no full tax returns. | Full financials and tax returns usually required. | Limited, tied to the sale, not your wider business. |
| Lender Choice | 80+ Australian lenders matched to your deal. | One bank, one credit template. | One or two aligned financiers only. |
| Rate & Structure | Market-tested rate, with balloon, progress-based repayments and 3 to 7 year terms. | Standard products with limited flexibility. | Rate loaded with dealer margin, and high balloons that flatter the monthly but cost more. |
| Used, Ex-Mine & Auction | New, used, ex-hire, ex-mine, private-sale and auction machines all financed. | Restrictive on used, private and auction buys. | Usually the dealer's own stock only. |
| Deposit & Security | $0 deposit for prime applications, secured on the machine, not your home. | Deposit and often property security required. | Varies, frequently bundled with add-ons. |
| Pre-Approval Speed | Typically inside 24 to 48 hours. | 5 to 10 business days on average. | Fast at the desk, but the offer is fixed. |

"Civil contractor doing subdivision bulk earthworks. Needed another Zaxis excavator for a new stage and the work pays on progress claims, not flat months. The bank wouldn't match the cycle. The lender structured repayments to the claims and we tendered for the next stage knowing the cashflow worked."
"Quarry and aggregates supply. The loader keeping the crusher fed was tired and we needed a bigger ZW. The bank wanted property security for one machine. The lender that took the supply contracts didn't, and the loader's been earning since day one."
"Landscaping and small civil, and a Hitachi mini excavator does the bulk of the work in tight access. The bank treated the ABN like a personal loan and capped us low. A low-doc lender took the BAS and the asset and had it sorted in two days."
"Mining-services subbie running gear on a remote site. Wanted a couple of EH dump trucks to take on more haul. The bank didn't understand the contract structure. A specialist lender did, set repayments to the contract cycle, and we picked up the extra scope."
"Demolition and recycling business. Needed a high-flow Zaxis excavator with the right attachments for bigger strip-outs. Dealer finance only had the one structure. Equifund found a lender that read the work and set repayments around the jobs."

"Plant-hire yard with a mix of excavators and loaders on different finance from different years. Refinanced the lot into one facility so the books make sense, freed up a bit of room, and we've ordered two more machines for the busy season."
"Bulk earthworks on a new estate, and we needed a couple of Zaxis excavators on site fast to hit the program. The lender pre-approved on the BAS and the assets, both machines were on the dirt the next week, and we held the program."
"Contract haulage on a mine site, and a couple of ex-mine EH dump trucks came up at the right price. You've got a narrow window to bid. The lender pre-approved fast, we secured them, and they were earning on the haul road inside the month."
"Civil and pipeline work, and we needed a wider fleet to win the next package, a Zaxis excavator and a ZW wheel loader. Equifund structured the lot in one facility around the contract, and we mobilised on time with the right gear."
"Drainage and trenching across council jobs, and the old excavator was costing more in downtime than repayments. Moved on a low-hour used Zaxis. The lender pre-approved on the BAS and the asset, and the machine's been booked solid since."

Straight answers to the questions Hitachi buyers ask most.
The full Hitachi range, new or used: Zaxis excavators from mini and compact to construction-class, ultra-class EX mining excavators, ZW wheel loaders, EH rigid dump trucks and material handlers. Buckets, rippers, hammers, augers, grapples and other attachments can be financed in the same facility.
Yes. Used, ex-hire, ex-mine, dealer, private-sale and auction Hitachi machinery is all financeable through specialist lenders on our panel. Hitachi's strong resale and nationwide parts and service support help these deals, because lenders weigh the asset's residual value and serviceability in the approval.
Often, yes. For civil, earthmoving and mining contractors paid on progress claims or against a contract rather than flat months, lenders on our panel can structure progress-based or seasonal repayments, so the machine is paid down when the work actually pays.
Yes. A mixed order, say a Zaxis excavator and a ZW wheel loader, or a couple of mini excavators and a dump trucks, can be structured in a single submission to specialist lenders, rather than separate dealer-finance contracts for each machine.
Not always. Many established operators finance Hitachi machinery with no deposit, securing the loan against the machine itself. A deposit or trade-in can lower repayments if you prefer, and we structure it around your cashflow either way.
Often, yes. For established ABN holders with a clean recent history, low-doc Hitachi finance is available without full financials, assessed on bank statements, BAS and the asset. It suits contractors with invoice-based or progress-claim income who do not fit a bank's standard template.
With a chattel mortgage you own the machine from day one and the lender holds security over it, which suits most operators and can carry GST and depreciation benefits. With a finance lease the lender owns the machine and you lease it for a set term. Your specialist will explain which fits your structure, and your accountant can confirm the tax treatment.
Usually within 24 to 48 hours of a complete application, compared with the 5 to 10 business days a major bank often takes. Pre-approval lets you walk onto the dealer lot or bid at auction knowing your number, which matters when a machine has to be on site for a contract start.
Yes. You can refinance existing machinery to lower repayments, restructure a balloon before it falls due, or consolidate several machine loans into one facility, which frees up room for the next purchase.
Usually, yes. Buckets, rippers, hammers, augers, grapples, tilt-hitches and other attachments can be financed together with the Hitachi machine in one facility, so the whole working setup sits under a single repayment.
Equifund finances every major asset class for Australian ABN holders, from excavators and loaders to trucks, trailers, tractors and farm machinery, backed by 80+ lenders.
