Forklift Finance Structures Available in Australia

Chattel Mortgages for Forklifts

Chattel mortgages are commonly used for forklift finance in Australia where ownership is required upfront. These structures are assessed based on asset value, usage intensity, operating environment, and lender policy, and may offer tax efficiencies where applicable.

Forklift Equipment Loans

Forklift equipment loans provide straightforward finance structures with loan terms aligned to the expected working life of the forklift and daily usage requirements.

Forklift Finance Leases

Finance leases may be suitable for businesses prioritising cash-flow management or accounting treatment, subject to Australian lender approval and asset suitability.

Hire Purchase for Forklifts

Hire purchase arrangements allow structured ownership over time and may be appropriate for certain forklift finance scenarios.

Each forklift finance structure is assessed individually to ensure compliance, affordability, and lender alignment.

New and Used Forklift Finance Australia

New Forklift Finance

Asset Finance Australia arranges finance for new forklifts through authorised dealers and manufacturers across Australia, with terms aligned to equipment lifecycle and lender risk criteria.

Used Forklift Finance

Used forklift finance is available for equipment purchased through dealers or private sellers. Lenders assess forklift age, condition, hours, battery life (for electric forklifts), and remaining economic life when determining finance terms.

We also arrange forklift finance for interstate purchases and regional businesses across Australia.

Why Forklift Finance Requires Specialist Structuring

The Importance of Correct Forklift Finance Structuring

Poorly structured forklift finance can restrict cash flow and limit operational flexibility. Without specialist structuring, businesses may face:

Declined forklift finance applications
Restricted lender options
Higher interest rates
Misaligned loan terms
Issues relating to usage intensity or operating environment

Correct forklift finance structuring ensures lender policy alignment, realistic serviceability assessment, and long-term business sustainability.
