Expanding a Crane Hire Fleet with a Prime Mover and Drop Deck Trailer

​

Client:
A Western Australian crane hire and rigging business expanding its transport fleet to support continued business growth.

Challenge:

The client required finance for a used Mercedes-Benz Prime Mover and Drop Deck Trailer to improve the transportation of cranes, access equipment and supporting plant between job sites. The solution needed to be structured around the business's cash flow while ensuring a quick settlement for a private sale.
 

Solution:

We arranged a tailored asset finance solution that aligned with the client's operational requirements and cash flow objectives. By managing the application efficiently and working closely with all parties, we achieved a smooth approval and settlement within seven days.
 

Outcome:

• Finance arranged for a Mercedes-Benz Prime Mover and Drop Deck Trailer

• Approval and settlement completed within 7 days

• Improved transport capability for cranes and access equipment

• Fifth successful finance transaction completed for the client

Creating a Smarter Import Finance Strategy

Client:

A Western Australian transport business importing two new 2025 Aotong three-axle trailers directly from China.
 

Challenge:

The client required funding before the trailers arrived in Australia. More importantly, they wanted a structure that preserved cash flow and could be replicated for future imports as the business continued to grow.
 

Solution:

We initially arranged an overdraft facility to fund the overseas purchase. Once the trailers arrived in Perth, we refinanced them through a chattel mortgage reimbursement. Because the trailers were worth more upon arrival than their original manufacturing cost, the client was able to release additional funds, repay the overdraft and retain the facility as an ongoing working capital buffer.
 

Outcome:

• Finance arranged for two imported trailers

• Overdraft fully repaid through reimbursement finance

• Additional working capital released back into the business

• Repeatable funding strategy established for future imports

Financing Fleet Expansion

 

Client: A Western Australian crane hire and rigging business required new truck fleet to transport scissor lifts.

Challenge:

A growing crane and rigging business required a larger truck to transport scissor lifts and equipment more efficiently between project sites.
 

Solution:

We arranged finance for a 2018 Isuzu NPR FSR 140/120-260 Auto LWB, ensuring the business could continue expanding its fleet while maintaining healthy cash flow.

Outcome:

• Isuzu truck financed

• Improved fleet logistics

• Tenth successful finance transaction for the client

• Ongoing trusted adviser relationship
