Compare rates, structures and lenders in our full guide to the best truck finance options in Australia.
| Equifund, commercial finance specialist | Major bank | Dealer finance | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who they lend to | Established ABN holders, sole traders to 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 | Freight, 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 | Indicative rates from 6.99% p.a. Market-tested structure with balloon, 3 to 7 year terms and extra repayments. | Standard products with limited flexibility. | Rate loaded with dealer margin, and high balloons that flatter the monthly but cost more. |
| Used, private & auction | New, used, ex-fleet, private-sale and auction 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 truck, 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. |

Truck deals settled across 80+ Australian specialist lenders. ACL 389328.
"First prime mover as an owner-driver running interstate linehaul. Bank wanted two years of trading. The specialist lender read the head-contract and BAS, approved that week and I was on the road for the next run."
"Tipper for a civil contractor. We needed the truck on site before the project kicked off. Pre-approval was locked in before tender, so we quoted with confidence and settled inside the week."
"Refrigerated rigid for a cold-chain run. Cashflow stacks against produce season, not month to month, so the lender structured repayments around the busy months. The major bank had said no."
"Used Kenworth at auction. Auction terms meant settle in five business days or lose the deposit. The specialist lender paid the seller direct on day four."
"Refinanced four prime movers into one facility. Cut the monthly outgoing, restructured a balloon that was coming due, and freed up cashflow for the next unit."
"Tow-truck operator with a short trading history. The lender assessed on the asset and the contract pipeline rather than years of books, and we settled the following week."
"Curtainsider and trailer combo for a general-freight run. Funded as a package under one application instead of two separate loans."
"Crane truck for a hire business. A vocational asset the bank did not want to touch, assessed on the forward work and settled cleanly."
"Light rigid for a courier business scaling up. $0 deposit on a prime application and the keys within the fortnight."
"Ex-fleet prime mover, private sale. Read on the asset and the operator's history rather than the seller's paperwork, settled direct that week."
Specialist truck finance across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin, Canberra and Hobart.
Straight answers to the questions Australian truck operators ask most.
Prime movers, rigids, tippers, refrigerated trucks, curtainsiders, tow trucks, crane trucks, tilt trays and trailers, new or used, dealer, private sale or auction.
Pre-approval typically comes back inside a business day. Settlement happens once you have signed contracts and any final lender conditions are met. Specialist transport lenders read freight income and contracts directly, so they move faster than major banks.
$0 deposit is available for prime applications, especially established operators with active contracts. New ABNs may need a contribution, but $0 deposit on the right deal is common for operators with verifiable income.
Yes. Specialist lenders can assess on your head-contract, the asset and your industry experience rather than requiring years of trading, which is how many first-truck owner-drivers get approved.
Yes. Used, ex-fleet, dealer demo and private-sale trucks are all financeable. Major banks apply age cut-offs; specialist lenders look at condition, kilometres and service history.
A chattel mortgage gives you ownership from day one and the GST benefit upfront. Hire purchase spreads ownership over the term. A lease keeps the truck on the lender's books with set payments and an optional residual. We match the structure to your tax position and cashflow.
Yes. Seasonal and skip-month structures are common for operators whose income runs against harvest, produce or project cycles. The lender panel includes options that build repayments around how your freight actually flows.
Yes. A conditional pre-approval lets you quote the work and commit to the truck knowing the finance is in place, then settle once the contract is signed.
Yes. Multi-truck and fleet deals are common, funded as a package under a master facility rather than separate loans, which simplifies your repayments and reporting.
Yes. Refinance can lower your rate or restructure a balloon, and sale-and-leaseback frees up equity in trucks you own outright to fund the next unit.
Yes. A balloon or residual lowers your monthly repayment by deferring part of the value to the end of the term. We will structure it to suit your replacement cycle so it does not catch you out.
Trucks over one tonne payload are exempt from the ATO car limit, so the full value can generally be depreciated, and a chattel mortgage lets you claim the GST upfront. Confirm your position with your accountant.
An active ABN, recent BAS or bank statements, the truck details, and any freight or head-contract agreement. We will tell you exactly what your lender match needs after a quick call.
Yes. We are an Australian truck finance team funding operators in every state and territory, from metro linehaul to regional and remote runs.
