Finance Hitachi Equipment for Civil, Quarry, and Construction Work

Hitachi earthmoving equipment is a proven choice across Australian civil and infrastructure projects. We compare suitable options across chattel mortgage (also called a commercial goods loan by many banks), finance lease, operating lease, and rent to own.

Whether you are financing excavators, loaders, or specialist site machinery, we can help align repayments with utilisation and ownership goals.

Hitachi Finance FAQs

Can I finance used Hitachi equipment?

Yes. Many lenders finance used Hitachi assets, with terms based on age, condition, and business profile.

Is a balloon payment available?

Balloon options may be available on suitable structures, subject to lender policy and asset profile.

What is the difference between chattel mortgage and finance lease?

With chattel mortgage, the borrower owns the asset from settlement. With finance lease, the lender owns the asset and the borrower pays lease rentals during the term.

Can newer ABN businesses apply?

Newer businesses may be eligible depending on application strength, asset type, and lender criteria.

How quickly can approval be assessed?

Timeframes vary. Complete and well-documented applications are typically assessed faster than complex applications.
