WHO THIS IS FOR

For Operators Buying Komatsu Machinery

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 PC excavator for a new contract, replacing a dozer, 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.

  • Civil & earthmoving contractors PC excavators and D-series dozers for site prep, bulk earthworks, trenching and roadworks that pay on progress claims, not flat months. Assessed on the contracts and the machine.
  • Quarry, aggregates & material handling WA wheel loaders and excavators for quarries, recycling and material handling, financed on the business and the throughput, not a house.
  • Mining & resources Large excavators, dozers and HD dump trucks for resources work, haul roads and overburden, with repayments matched to the contract and mine-life cycle.
  • Plant-hire & equipment fleets Plant-hire fleets and operators buying new, used, ex-hire, ex-mine or at auction across the Komatsu range, or refinancing existing machines into one facility.

"Civil contractor doing subdivision bulk earthworks. Needed another PC 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."

Civil earthmoving

FAQ

Common Komatsu Equipment Finance Questions

Straight answers to the questions Komatsu buyers ask most.

Which Komatsu machinery can I finance?

The full Komatsu range, new or used: PC excavators from mini to mining-class, D-series dozers, WA wheel loaders, HD and HM dump trucks, and GD motor graders, plus compact and skid-steer machines. Buckets, rippers, hammers, augers and other attachments can be financed in the same facility.

Can I finance a used, ex-mine or ex-hire Komatsu?

Yes. Used, ex-hire, ex-mine, dealer, private-sale and auction Komatsu machinery is all financeable through specialist lenders on our panel. Komatsu'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.

Can I match repayments to progress claims or contract income?

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.

Can I finance several Komatsu machines in one application?

Yes. A mixed order, say an excavator and a dozer, or a wheel loader and a dump trucks, can be structured in a single submission to specialist lenders, rather than separate dealer-finance contracts for each machine.

Do I need a deposit?

Not always. Many established operators finance Komatsu 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.

Can I get finance on a low-doc or ABN-only basis?

Often, yes. For established ABN holders with a clean recent history, low-doc Komatsu 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.

What is the difference between a chattel mortgage and a finance lease on Komatsu machinery?

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.

How quickly can I get pre-approved?

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.

Can I refinance or consolidate my existing Komatsu loans?

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.

Can I include buckets, rippers and attachments in the finance?

Usually, yes. Buckets, rippers, hammers, augers, grapples, tilt-hitches and other attachments can be financed together with the Komatsu machine in one facility, so the whole working setup sits under a single repayment.
