Construction Site Equipment Finance: Scaffolding, Fencing, Generators and Traffic Control
Quick answer: Scaffolding, temporary fencing, onsite generators, and portable traffic control equipment are all financeable as commercial asset finance through Equipment Finance Specialists. These are volume assets – operators typically need large quantities of each. Finance enables operators to scale their hire fleet or owned equipment inventory without drawing down working capital.
Queensland’s $116.8 billion statewide capital program (2025-26 Budget) and $38 billion construction activity in 2025-26 is creating sustained demand for exactly these four asset categories.
Scaffolding Finance
Scaffolding – frame-and-brace, modular ring system, and proprietary systems like Layher Allround – is a volume asset. Financed as commercial asset finance – typically chattel mortgage for established businesses. Lenders want a clear inventory specification, purchase invoices, and business revenue evidence.
Temporary Fencing Finance
Temporary fencing – panel fencing, shade cloth, crowd control barriers, and hoarding systems – is a hire business asset. This is a niche category that requires lenders familiar with the temporary infrastructure hire sector. Equipment Finance Specialists works with lenders who understand this market.
Onsite Generator Finance
Generators for construction sites – from 20kVA single-phase units to 250kVA+ three-phase units – are recognisable assets for lenders. Trailer-mounted generators are financed as equipment under chattel mortgage. Generators mounted on registered vehicles are financed as part of the vehicle finance. The distinction mainly affects how the lender classifies and secures the asset.
Portable Traffic Control Equipment Finance
Portable traffic lights, variable message signs (VMS), road delineation systems, and traffic management trailers are the traffic control hire operator’s core assets. Equipment Finance Specialists has lenders on our panel who understand traffic management equipment.
