More options. Less legwork.
A crane's lifting capacity, age, hours, mobility and configuration determine the jobs it can perform and the market likely to buy it later. Those details also influence lender security and valuation policy.
Supplier and valuation
Dealer, auction, private and imported purchases can require different evidence.
Utilisation history
Existing job records and forward work show how the crane earns revenue.
Why choose X Lend for crane finance?
We compare asset-finance structures for the supplied crane, approved attachments and eligible delivery costs. Imported or highly specialised equipment can require extra valuation, supplier and compliance evidence before settlement.
The repayment needs to work across productive days, mobilisation, maintenance and downtime. Contract pipeline and historic how much the asset will be used help show whether the asset can carry its complete operating cost.
Term and residual
The structure should reflect useful life, resale market and operating cashflow.
Model inspections, maintenance, transport, setup and weather delays. A repayment supported only by perfect how much the asset will be used leaves little room for normal crane operations.

Crane finance repayment calculator
Adjust the amount, term and rate to see an indicative repayment.
Estimate only. Calculations include an assumed $990 broker origination fee and $500 lender fee, both financed. Total repayable includes those fees, interest and any final balloon. Weekly and fortnightly figures are equivalents of the monthly estimate. Actual fees and repayment timing depend on your offer.
What rate could I get?
Your quote takes your circumstances and finance requirements into account. Compare your rate, fees and repayments together before choosing an offer.

The lender needs a verifiable crane and a credible repayment case.
What do I need to qualify for crane finance?
- Acceptable business and industry experience
- Cashflow supports finance and operating costs
- Asset has clear title and serial identification
- Supplier and purchase price are supportable
- Compliance and insurance requirements can be met
Who can crane finance help?

A specialised configuration may need an independent valuation or more buyer equity.
Cashflow assumes full utilisation
The forecast should allow for maintenance, mobilisation and ordinary downtime.
What do lenders look at for crane finance?
Crane finance depends on identifiable equipment, supportable value, realistic utilisation and business cashflow.

Find the finance that fits.
Know what you’re choosing.
Asset life and business ownership shape the finance structure.
Chattel mortgage
The business owns the crane and the lender registers security over it.
Hire purchase
The financier owns the equipment during the agreement under the specific contract terms.
Finance lease
The crane is leased for the term with agreed use and end-of-term obligations.
Verify before applying
A complete specification, serial record and invoice reduce valuation and settlement delays.
Check the repayment if the asset is used less
Model a lower productive-day count and higher maintenance spend before selecting the repayment.
What should I have ready before applying?
- Collect complete serial and service records.
- Document utilisation and forward work.
- Allow for maintenance and downtime.

Operational pressure can continue while the underlying business need remains unresolved.

Super helpful, friendly and fast. Secured a bank loan beyond expectations and did all the tricky leg work. Definitely be using their services again. Corey was a legend!
Review on Google
I can’t recommend Corey from X Lend highly enough. From the very first conversation, he was professional, transparent, and genuinely focused on finding the best outcome for me. Corey took the time to explain every step of the finance process in a way that was easy to understand, answered all my questions promptly, and never once made me feel rushed or pressured. I really appreciated how proactive he was, keeping me updated, following up with lenders, and making sure everything stayed on track. What really stood out was how hard he worked to secure a great deal. He compared multiple lenders, negotiated on my behalf, and ultimately achieved a rate and repayment structure that exceeded my expectations. The whole process of purchasing my car was smooth and stress‑free thanks to their expertise. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely in your corner, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. I’ll definitely be using their services again in the future :)
Review on Google
Corey helped me through the entire process of getting my dream family car! He was extremely prompt with his responses and had everything organised quickly and smoothly. I made a huge mistake by settling finance on the wrong car (a 5‑seater instead of a 7‑seater), but Corey was incredibly understanding and supportive. He contacted the dealership, lender, and even rearranged my insurance for me. He did all of this without ever making me feel like a hassle, even though I knew I was being a pain! Despite the setback, Corey stayed fast and efficient, kept me confident throughout the process, and managed to get everything cancelled and re‑approved for a higher amount so I could get my actual dream car. I highly recommend Corey. He speaks to you like a friend and genuinely has your best interests at heart. I already had quotes from Toyota Finance and Toyota Insurance, and Corey was able to get both significantly cheaper. Toyota Finance even reviewed Corey’s figures and confirmed they couldn’t beat them. I will never look to another finance company again.

Your crane finance questions.
Answered.
The details you want to know before taking the next step.
Can I finance a used crane?
Potentially. Age, hours, condition, service history, valuation and remaining useful life influence the structure.
Can attachments be financed too?
Eligible attachments may be included where they appear on the invoice and the lender accepts their value.
Can an imported crane be financed?
Some lenders may consider it with acceptable supplier, ownership, valuation, import and compliance evidence.
Can finance include a balloon?
A balloon may be available subject to asset, term and lender policy. It leaves a final amount to manage.
