Spread the cost over different options
Compass Forklifts helps Perth businesses source finance for forklifts and warehouse equipment through a trusted finance partner, so the process is simpler and more practical from the start. If you need a new forklift, a used unit or warehouse equipment but do not want to tie up a large amount of cash in one hit, we can help point you towards a finance option that makes sense for the business.
The right finance structure depends on the equipment, the budget and how the machine will actually be used. Some businesses want ownership from day one. Some want to spread the cost. Some want a lower upfront spend and a clearer monthly figure. Options may include standard equipment finance, rent-to-own, leasing and other structured payment arrangements, depending on approval and business circumstances.
We are not a lender. Our role is to make the process easier and connect you with a finance partner that understands commercial equipment. That starts with the basics: what machine you need, whether it is new or used, how hard it will be worked, and whether ownership or cash flow is the bigger priority. The aim is not to push one option, but to help you find a finance structure that makes sense for the machine, the budget and the way it will actually be used.


Finance can support more than the base machine.
In some cases, finance may also be used for attachments, specialist configurations or wider warehouse equipment, depending on the equipment type and approval terms.
That can matter when the real requirement is not just the forklift itself, but the full setup needed to do the job properly. If the spec needs to be right from the start, finance can sometimes make that easier without forcing you to cut back on the equipment you actually need.
If you are not sure what route makes the most sense, that is fine. Start with the machine, the job and the budget, and Compass can help guide the next step.
If you want to discuss finance options, the quickest way to get started is to send:
The forklift or equipment type
Whether it is new or used
The expected usage or duty cycle
Whether you want ownership or a lower upfront cost
Your business name and Perth operating area

Compass can help customers explore finance options through a trusted partner, including standard equipment finance, rent-to-own, leasing and other structured payment options, depending on the business and the equipment.
In many cases, yes. Finance may be available for both new and used forklifts, depending on the machine, its age, its value and the lender’s approval criteria.
Rent-to-own is a structure where you make regular payments towards the equipment over time, with a path to ownership built into the agreement. It can suit businesses that want to avoid a large upfront spend but still want the machine to become an owned asset.
That depends on the business. Leasing can suit companies that want a predictable monthly cost and less pressure on cash flow. Buying outright can make more sense where capital is available and ownership from day one is the priority.
