Hydraulic trailers โ like tippers, tilt decks, and lifting platforms โ are essential for many trades and transport businesses. But because theyโre specialised, many people think you need a full application pack to get financed.
The truth? You can finance a hydraulic trailer with just an ABN โ and in many cases, without full tax returns or financial statements.
โ What Is Low-Doc Hydraulic Trailer Finance?
Low-doc or ABN-only finance means you can apply using:
- โ๏ธ Your ABN (even under 12 months in some cases)
- โ๏ธ A driverโs licence
- โ๏ธ A quote or invoice for the trailer
- โ๏ธ Optional: bank statements (3โ6 months)
Thereโs no need for BAS, tax returns, or accountant-prepared reports โ making it ideal for new businesses or sole traders.
๐ง What Types of Hydraulic Trailers Can Be Financed?
Weโve seen approvals for:
- ๐ป Hydraulic tipper trailers
- ๐ง Tilt-deck trailers
- ๐ง Ramp and lifting trailers
- ๐๏ธ Custom-built hydraulic flatbeds
- ๐งฑ Heavy-duty dump trailers
As long as the trailer is for business use, finance is usually possible โ even for non-standard configurations.
๐ Whoโs Eligible?
Hydraulic trailer loans are common among:
- Earthmoving and civil contractors
- Landscapers and concreters
- Waste removal businesses
- Regional operators needing tilt beds or lifters
- Sole traders needing trailer-mounted gear movement
If your trailer helps your business operate, lenders are often happy to assess your deal โ even if youโre low doc.
๐ธ What About Used Hydraulic Trailers?
Used hydraulic trailers can still be financed, though some lenders may:
- Require a deposit (10โ20%)
- Ask for photos or inspection reports
- Cap the trailer's age at 10โ15 years
Buying new or from a dealer usually results in faster approvals and better terms.
๐ง Why Use a Broker?
Hydraulic trailer finance is more niche than your standard box or cage trailer. Brokers know which lenders:
- Accept low-doc profiles
- Understand equipment-based lending
- Can process applications fast without red tape
