Machinery finance in Sydney, updated November 2026

What is machinery finance and who is it for?

Machinery finance is a business loan or lease for plant and equipment, with the machine itself as the security. You pay it off over a set term while the machine earns money, rather than tying up cash or an overdraft in one big purchase.

It suits earthmoving and civil contractors, landscapers, builders, manufacturers and anyone whose income depends on a machine. Across the Hills District and the north west growth corridor out to Box Hill and Marsden Park, that usually means excavators, skid steers and site gear. It is part of our wider asset finance broker service.

  • The machine is the security

    Lenders secure the loan against the asset, so a sound, resaleable machine opens more lenders.

  • Structure decides tax and cash flow

    Chattel mortgage, finance lease or hire purchase: who owns it, how GST works and what is owed at the end.

  • Lender policy varies widely

    Machine age, ABN history and credit rules differ between lenders, which is why a broker compares them.

Quick answer

How does machinery finance work?

You choose the machine, a lender pays the seller, and your business repays the lender over an agreed term, often with the machine as security. With a chattel mortgage your business owns the machine from day one; with a lease the lender owns it until the end.

What we finance

Excavator, earthmoving and construction equipment finance

If it earns income on a site, in a yard or on a factory floor, it can usually be financed. Yellow goods, heavy machinery and the trucks that move them all go through Rohan.

  • Excavator working on a site at sunset

    Earthmoving

    Excavator and earthmoving finance

    Excavators from mini to large, skid steers and bobcats, loaders, dozers, graders and rollers.

    What lenders think

    Mainstream earthmoving machines hold their value and are easy for a lender to resell, so they open the widest choice of lenders. Attachments bought with the machine (buckets, rippers, tilt hitches) can often go on the same loan.

  • Crane on a construction site against a blue sky

    Construction

    Construction equipment finance

    Cranes, elevated work platforms, compactors, concrete gear and site equipment for builders and civil crews.

    What lenders think

    Larger or more specialised construction equipment narrows the lender list, and some lenders ask for a deposit or a shorter term. Rohan checks which lenders take the asset before you commit to a quote.

  • Industrial machinery on a factory floor

    Factory and warehouse

    Plant and equipment finance

    CNC and manufacturing machines, forklifts, packaging lines, compressors and workshop plant.

    What lenders think

    Factory plant is often bought new from a supplier with installation costs. Ask early whether installation and freight can be included, because lenders treat them differently from the machine itself.

  • Blue tipper truck parked on a building site with excavators working behind itPhoto: Charles G / Unsplash

    Moving the gear

    Tippers, trailers and site trucks

    The truck that carries the machine, a plant trailer or a tipper for the spoil, financed alongside it.

    What lenders think

    Buying a machine and the truck or trailer to move it at the same time? They can be financed together or as separate loans; Rohan sets out both ways.

Farm machinery, attachments and other gear

Tractors and farm machinery, mowers and landscaping gear, generators, lighting towers, pressure cleaning rigs, attachments and tools bought with a machine can often be financed too. Ask Rohan about your asset: lender appetite depends on what it is, its age and how easily it resells.

Structure

Chattel mortgage vs finance lease vs hire purchase for machinery

All three let you put the machine to work now and pay over time. The difference is who owns it, how GST and depreciation are handled, and what happens at the end.

Before you apply

What lenders ask for on machinery finance

Every lender asks some version of the same five things. Knowing which ones are your strong points tells Rohan which lenders to go to first.

  • Your ABN and GST registration

    How long the ABN has been active and whether you are registered for GST. Two years or more opens the most lenders, but it is not the only path.

  • The machine itself

    Make, model, year, hours or kilometres, serial number and condition, plus the quote or tax invoice. Lenders want security they could resell.

  • How the business is going

    BAS statements and business bank statements, or tax returns and financials for larger loans. Low doc options can use BAS and bank statements instead.

  • Your credit file

    Business and personal credit history for the directors or owner. Past issues are not always the end of it on business finance.

  • Deposit, trade-in or other assets

    Not always needed. A deposit, trade-in or property in your name can widen the choice for a young ABN or an older machine.

Industrial machinery on a factory floor
Used or new, lenders want to know what the machine is worth and how long it will last.

New or used machinery

Used machines are financed every day. Expect lenders to look harder at age, hours and the seller, and to search the PPSR for any finance still owing on it. Short on financials? Our low doc loans page explains how BAS and bank statements can stand in.

Rohan sends one checklist for your lender.

Sound familiar?

Machinery finance situations we solve

Most operators come to Rohan with one of these. Here is what usually gets in the way, and what we do about it.

  • Crane on a construction site against a blue sky
    From one machine to a whole site.
  • Won a job that needs another machine

    The challenge: A new contract starts soon and you need a second excavator or loader on site before the first day.

    How we handle it

    We go to lenders that read the contract alongside your trading history and line up the paperwork early, so the finance is not the thing holding up the start date.

  • Buying used, privately or at auction

    The challenge: The right machine is a used one from a private seller or an auction, and the dealer finance option is gone.

    How we handle it

    Rohan finds lenders that finance private and auction sales, tells you what they need (invoice, proof of ownership, a PPSR search, maybe an inspection) and sets your limit before you bid.

  • New ABN after years on the tools

    The challenge: You have run machines for someone else for years, but your own business is months old and the bank wants two years of tax returns.

    How we handle it

    We look for lenders that weigh your time in the industry, a deposit or trade-in and the work you have lined up, not only ABN age. Low doc options are on the table too.

  • Past credit issues on the file

    The challenge: An old default or a rough patch in the business is on your credit file and the bank said no.

    How we handle it

    There are lenders who consider past credit issues for business equipment when the rest of the application is strong. Nothing is approved until the lender says so, and we tell you upfront what each one asks for.

These are common situations, not client stories. Every loan depends on your circumstances and the lender's policy, and no approval is assured.

    I engaged Ryro Finance to arrange finance for my vehicle, and the experience was excellent. They didn’t just compare car loan options—they took a holistic approach by considering my future financial goals and any upcoming asset purchases to ensure the finance structure suited my long-term plans. They provided valuable advice on the ideal deposit amount, explained the best approach to financing a vehicle, and secured one of the most competitive interest rates available to me. I would highly recommend Ryro Finance, not only for vehicle finance but for any financing requirements. Their personalised advice, professionalism, and long-term financial planning set them apart.

FAQs

Machinery finance FAQs

Have a question not covered here? Ask Rohan directly or book a free strategy call.

What is machinery finance?

+
Machinery finance is a business loan or lease used to buy plant and equipment such as excavators, skid steers, forklifts, cranes or factory machines. The machine is usually the security for the loan, so you pay for it over time while it earns income. The common structures are a chattel mortgage, a finance lease and hire purchase. Rohan compares lenders and structures for the machine you are buying and your business.

Can I finance a used excavator or machine?

+
Yes, many lenders finance used machinery, from dealers and often from private sellers. Lenders look at the age, hours and condition of the machine, how long it will last and how easily it could be resold. Older or highly specialised machines can mean fewer lenders, a shorter term or a deposit. Send Rohan the make, model, year and hours and he will tell you which lenders fit.

Do I need a deposit for machinery finance?

+
Not always. Some lenders finance the full price for an established business buying a mainstream machine. Others ask for a deposit or a trade-in, especially for a young ABN, an older machine or a file with past credit issues. A deposit can also widen your lender choice. Rohan tells you upfront what each lender asks for before anything is lodged.

Can I get machinery finance with a new ABN?

+
It is possible. Most lenders prefer two years or more of trading, but some weigh your time in the industry, a deposit or trade-in, the strength of the machine as security and the work you have lined up. If you have just started out after years on the tools for someone else, tell Rohan. He looks for lenders whose rules already fit a newer business.

Can I get equipment finance with bad credit?

+
For business equipment, there are lenders who consider past credit issues when the rest of the application is strong: steady trading, a sound machine as security and a clear explanation of what happened. Approval is never assured and terms can differ from a clean file. Rohan looks at your credit file first and only goes to lenders whose policy suits it, so you avoid extra enquiries.

Is a chattel mortgage or a finance lease better for machinery?

+
It depends on your tax position and what you want at the end of the term. With a chattel mortgage your business owns the machine from day one. With a finance lease the lender owns it and you pay to use it, with an option to buy at the end. Your accountant decides which suits your tax; Rohan arranges the finance for either. We recommend consulting your accountant for advice specific to your situation.

Can I claim GST and depreciation on financed machinery?

+
Often, depending on the structure and your business. Under a chattel mortgage a GST-registered business may be able to claim the GST in the price on its BAS, and generally claims depreciation or, if eligible, the instant asset write-off. Under a finance lease the lease payments are usually deducted instead. The write-off threshold and dates change, so check ato.gov.au. We recommend consulting your accountant for advice specific to your situation.

What is a balloon payment on machinery finance?

+
A balloon (or residual) is a lump sum left owing at the end of the term. It lowers your regular repayments, but you pay more interest overall and must pay, refinance or sell the machine to clear it at the end. How large a balloon a lender allows depends on the machine, its age and the term. Rohan shows the repayments and total cost with and without one.

Can I buy machinery from a private seller or at auction?

+
Some lenders finance private sales and auction purchases, usually with extra checks: a tax invoice or bill of sale, proof the seller owns the machine, a search of the Personal Property Securities Register for existing finance, and sometimes an inspection or valuation. Auctions move fast, so talk to Rohan before you bid so you know your limit and what the lender needs.

What documents do I need for machinery finance?

+
Usually your ABN and ID, the quote or tax invoice for the machine, and details of the asset. Depending on the loan size and lender, you may also need recent BAS statements, business bank statements, tax returns or financial statements, and a list of your assets and debts. Low doc options can use BAS and bank statements in place of full financials. Rohan sends you one checklist for the lender you choose.
