Your Guide to Crane Finance in Melbourne

Acquiring a crane is a significant capital investment. The right finance solution preserves your cash flow and supports your business growth. Here’s how we help Melbourne businesses navigate the process.

1. Understanding Your Crane Finance Options

The best finance structure for you depends on your cash flow, tax position, and long-term plans. We specialise in two of the most popular and effective options for crane purchases:

  • Chattel Mortgage: This is a secured loan where your business owns the crane from the start, using the equipment itself as security for the loan. It often features lower interest rates and can offer potential GST benefits. It’s an excellent choice for businesses that want full ownership and plan to use the crane long-term.

  • Finance Lease: With this option, you lease the crane for a fixed term, making regular payments. At the end of the term, you can often choose to purchase the crane for a residual value, upgrade to a new model, or simply return it. This provides flexibility and can help with budgeting and technology updates.

2. What Types of Cranes Can You Finance?

Our panel of specialist lenders can finance a wide range of new and used cranes critical to Melbourne’s development, including:

  • Mobile Cranes: Truck-mounted, all-terrain, and rough-terrain cranes.

  • Tower Cranes: Hammerhead and self-erecting models for major city projects.

  • Specialist Cranes: Crawler cranes, gantry cranes, and access equipment like knucklebooms and cherry pickers.

3. The LoanBrix Process: Simple and Supportive

  1. Consultation: We start with an obligation-free discussion to understand your project needs and financial goals.

  2. Solution & Quote: We present tailored finance options with a clear, detailed quote outlining all costs.
