When Transport Assets Need Valuing

Transport fleets represent significant capital values and are commonly used as security for lending. Accurate, current market valuations are essential for lenders, insurers and operators alike.

  • Finance security and pre-lend valuations over truck and trailer fleets
  • Insurance valuations confirming agreed value or replacement cost coverage
  • Insolvency and receivership fleet valuations for transport businesses under administration
  • Fleet valuations for sale, merger, acquisition or management buyout purposes
  • Expert reports for disputes involving vehicle fleet values or ownership

  • Experience across prime movers, B-trains, refrigerated transport, tippers and tankers
  • Understanding of fleet age mix, warranty status and maintenance history impact on value
  • Track record with owner-operators through to large national logistics businesses
  • Accepted by major Australian banks and equipment financiers for fleet security
