Truck Finance.

Prime movers, rigid trucks, tippers, refrigerated and tray trucks, light commercial, buses and coaches. TMF finances the cab, the body and the build-up across new, used and imported pathways.

7 asset types in truck.

Each asset has its own finance pathway, price range and typical deal size. Click through to see structures, lender appetite and FAQs for the specific machine you’re considering.

Financing truck.

Trucks are the single most financed asset in the TMF book. We structure around the work the truck will earn — contract length, kilometres and replacement cycle — not just the sticker price, so repayments sit comfortably against the revenue the truck generates.

Chattel mortgage

The most common structure. You own the truck from settlement and claim the GST on your next BAS. Best for operators wanting ownership and the depreciation benefits.

Finance lease & hire purchase

Use the truck while the lender holds title, with ownership passing at the end of the term. Useful where cashflow or balance-sheet treatment matters.

Balloon / residual

Defer a lump sum (commonly 15–20% on newer trucks) to the end of the term to keep monthly repayments lower and matched to a planned trade-in.

What shapes approval
  • Terms typically run 3–7 years depending on age and kilometres.
  • Used and private-sale trucks are core TMF work — not an exception many bank desks decline.
  • Well-maintained trucks finance older with verified service history and kilometres.
  • Established operators can often finance with little or no deposit.

Indicative structures and terms only — your actual options depend on the asset, your trading history and the lender. Confirm specifics with a TMF specialist.
