Estimate repayments on forklifts and warehouse equipment. The forklift class is preloaded with a realistic rate. Adjust price, term and balloon. Your numbers update live.
Select an asset class above to load the estimated market rate.
The calculator applies an indicative rate for the asset class you pick, then amortises it over the term and repayment frequency you choose. It is a model, not a quote, and it does not run a credit check or touch your file.
A balloon or residual lowers the repayment now and leaves a lump sum at the end, so use it deliberately rather than to make a number look better. Whatever you leave at the end still has to be paid or refinanced.
Deposit or full invoice. You can put money down or fund the whole invoice. A deposit is a cashflow decision here, not a condition of approval.
The single biggest lever is security. As a general rule, where the facility is backed by property you should expect 6% to 9% p.a. Without property security, expect 9% to 13% p.a. If you own property and are willing to use it, the same purchase gets materially cheaper.
After that: how long the ABN has been trading, whether the asset is bought from a dealer or privately, and the asset itself. New and used are both funded, so used equipment is not the obstacle people expect.
These are indicative ranges for business finance, not an offer. Your rate depends on the deal and is subject to credit approval.
Forklifts are financed as chattel mortgages over two to five years for most operators, new and used both funded. Buying several units, or a forklift alongside racking and other warehouse equipment, is usually better arranged as a single facility with one repayment.
Security sets the band: roughly 6% to 9% p.a. property-backed, 9% to 13% without. The preloaded forklift rate is a ballpark inside those bands.
Rental suits short or uncertain workloads. Once a forklift is on site most days, finance is usually cheaper over the life of the machine, and you own it at the end. Run the repayment here and compare it to your monthly rental.
Yes. Electric units, chargers and replacement batteries are all financeable, together or separately.
No. It is an estimate so you can sanity check a purchase before you commit. A real quote comes back from the lender panel once we know the asset, the deposit and how long you have been trading.
No. Nothing here runs a credit check. Your file is only touched once you apply and give us permission.
Approvals come back as fast as 24 hours on straightforward deals. The things that slow it down are missing paperwork and private sales that need extra verification.
Yes. New and used are both funded, from dealers or private sellers. On used machinery, service history and hours matter more than age.
