Prime movers are the backbone of Australia’s freight and logistics network. Used across linehaul transport, interstate freight, container movements, mining, ports, construction and heavy haulage, prime movers play a critical role in moving goods efficiently, reliably and at scale.
Asset Finance Partners provides specialist prime mover finance in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, helping transport operators purchase new or used prime movers without large upfront capital costs. Our tailored asset-finance solutions allow businesses to deploy compliant, revenue-generating vehicles while preserving cash flow and supporting long-term growth.
Why Finance a Prime Mover?
Prime movers are high-value assets with long service lives and strict compliance requirements. Purchase prices typically range from $150,000 to $500,000+, depending on brand, specification, drivetrain and application.
Financing a prime mover instead of paying cash allows businesses to:
Preserve working capital for fuel, drivers and operations
Match repayments to freight contracts and linehaul revenue
Upgrade older trucks to meet safety and emissions standards
Expand fleet capacity to secure larger transport contracts
Reduce downtime with newer, more reliable vehicles
Manage replacement cycles across multi-vehicle fleets
Access potential tax benefits (where eligible)
For most operators, prime mover asset finance is the most practical way to scale a transport business.
