Crushing and screening equipment finance covers jaw, cone and impact crushers, screening plants, conveyors and the loaders that feed them, financed as single machines or as a complete spread. Most purchases are written as a chattel mortgage with the term set against the plant's working life, and a crushing contract behind the purchase strengthens the case. We arrange it for WA operators and contractors Australia wide.
Crushing plant sits in a specific corner of the equipment market: the machines are expensive, they earn per tonne on contracts and campaigns, wear costs run constantly, and the businesses running them are paid on claims rather than at the gate. The finance should follow those facts. It is the same whole-of-job approach we take across mining and civil equipment finance.

Contract crushing, funded around the campaign
Contract crushing earns per tonne, in campaigns, against certified claims. That shape matters to the finance twice. First, a signed crushing contract is the strongest thing an application can carry, because it shows precisely how the plant earns its repayments. Second, the costs of the work arrive before the money does: mobilising a spread between jobs, establishing on site, and the constant burn of liners, medias and belts. Those costs are working capital, funded through a business overdraft or invoice finance against certified claims, sitting alongside the equipment facility rather than inside it.
The full contractor picture, mobilisation, claims and rental buyouts, lives on our mining services finance page.
Used plant and honest structuring
The used market is where much of the crushing fleet changes hands, and it is fundable with the right lender: hours, wear history and the machine's age at the end of the term shape the deal more than the build year alone. Auction purchases need the finance lined up before bidding, and private sales need ownership verified and encumbrances checked. Operators building a spread over time should ask about a master asset finance facility, an approved limit each machine draws against, and any repayment can be modelled with our equipment finance calculator.

Frequently asked questions
How does crushing and screening equipment finance work?
It is equipment finance secured against the plant itself, most often a chattel mortgage where you own the machine from day 1 and the lender registers a security interest over it. Lenders assess the machine's age, hours and resale market, the work behind the purchase, and the trading history of the business. Mobile crushers and screens hold recognised resale value, which keeps the lender field wide; highly customised fixed plant leans more on the strength of the business. Terms are set against the plant's working life, with a finance lease or hire purchase suiting some tax positions instead.
Can I finance a used crusher or screen?
Yes. Used crushing and screening plant changes hands constantly, through dealers, at auction and privately, and lenders that know the class fund it routinely. What moves the assessment is hours, wear history and the machine's age at the end of the term, so older plant wants a shorter term. Auction purchases need the finance arranged before bidding, and private sales add ownership and encumbrance checks. The work is matching the specific machine and purchase type to a lender actively writing it.
Can a whole crushing spread be financed together?
Yes. A working spread, the crusher, the screens, the conveyors and the loader that feeds them, can be funded as one position rather than a string of separate loans. That can mean one facility across the spread, or a master asset finance limit you draw against as each machine is added. Funding the spread as a system keeps the repayments aligned with how the spread earns and leaves borrowing capacity cleaner for the next contract.
Does a crushing contract strengthen the application?
Materially. Crushing work is usually contracted per tonne or per campaign, and a signed contract shows the lender exactly how the machine will earn its repayments. The counterparty's strength, the contract length and the rates all feed the case. Plant bought for a specific contract also raises the mobilisation question, moving the spread between jobs costs real money before the first invoice, and that is funded with working capital alongside the machine, not inside the equipment loan.
What about wear parts and running costs?
Liners, screens medias, belts and crusher wear parts are a constant cash cost that arrives whether or not the claims have been paid. They are working capital, not equipment finance: a business overdraft or invoice finance against certified claims carries them through the payment cycle. We design the equipment facility and the working capital together so the plant and the costs of running it are funded as one picture.
