Tasmania's truck market is shaped by the state's geography — a compact road network where almost all freight moves between Hobart, Launceston, Burnie, and Devonport. The Spirit of Tasmania ferry operations keep a steady rotation of prime movers running B-doubles off the boat at Devonport, and TAS's forestry, dairy, and fruit industries drive continuous demand for rigids, stock crates, and refrigerated trucks.
The Tasmanian truck market is smaller than mainland states but that means dealers genuinely know their stock and customers. Most used stock comes from local fleet turnover or ex-Victorian trucks arriving via the ferry. Asset Scanner lists every TAS dealer we partner with, so you can see the full Tasmanian truck market in one place. Equifund finance is available for TAS operators with fast approval.

How do I know if a truck is priced fairly?
Asset Scanner lets you compare prices across 55+ verified dealers for similar trucks. Search by make, model, year, and truck type to see what other dealers are asking. This helps you identify fair pricing and negotiate with confidence.
What is the difference between a prime mover and a rigid truck?
A prime mover (or truck tractor) is designed to tow trailers and has no cargo body of its own. A rigid truck has a fixed body — such as a tipper, pantech, or tray — mounted on the chassis. Prime movers suit long-haul and heavy freight; rigids suit local deliveries and construction.
Should I buy a used or new truck?
Used trucks offer significant savings — often 30-50% less than new. For many operators, a well-maintained used truck with 300,000-500,000 km is an excellent investment. New trucks offer warranty and the latest technology but at a premium. Consider your budget, operating requirements, and finance options.
What should I check before buying a used truck?
Key items to inspect: service history and logbook, engine hours and odometer, tyre condition, brake wear, chassis and body condition, any visible leaks, cabin condition, and compliance with ADRs. Always arrange an independent inspection or use a trusted mechanic.
How does truck finance work in Australia?
The most common options are chattel mortgage (you own from day one, claim GST upfront), finance lease (lender owns, you use), and operating lease (off balance sheet). Equifund Financial Group can provide free quotes across all structures — apply from any listing page on Asset Scanner.

Where can I buy a used truck in Tasmania?
Tasmania's truck dealers are concentrated in Hobart, Launceston, Burnie, and Devonport. Most used stock comes from local fleet turnover or ex-Victorian trucks arriving via the Spirit of Tasmania. Asset Scanner aggregates every TAS dealer's inventory in one place.
What's the typical TAS truck setup?
TAS favours shorter prime movers and rigid combinations suited to the state's compact road network. The ferry task keeps B-double-capable prime movers busy, while forestry and dairy drive demand for stock crates, log trucks, and refrigerated rigids.
