What Is a Machinery Pawn Loan?
A machinery pawn loan is a secured short-term loan against your plant equipment's market value. Bobcats, mini excavators, skid steers and other machinery are valuable collateral — especially late-model units with low hours. Don't Sell It assesses your equipment, agrees on terms and holds it securely while you receive cash.
Adelaide tradies and contractors use machinery pawn when a job needs funding, equipment needs repair or cash flow tightens between invoices. With no credit checks, approval is driven by what your machine is worth — not your business credit file. Loans range from $2,000 to $50,000 based on type, hours and condition.
You retain ownership and collect your machinery when the loan is repaid. Visit our car pawn loans page for the full process or request a free assessment today.
