Gable Asset Finance helps UK farmers, contractors, construction companies, and industrial operators acquire new and used Manitou machinery through tailored finance solutions. From telehandlers and articulated handlers to compact loaders and industrial forklifts, we provide the financial flexibility needed to invest in equipment that drives productivity.
Manitou is a global leader in handling, lifting, and earthmoving solutions, with a reputation for durability and versatility. In the UK, Manitou machinery is relied upon in agriculture, construction, warehousing, logistics, and heavy industry. These machines, however, represent a substantial capital outlay. Financing offers a strategic solution, spreading the cost and aligning repayments with income cycles.
Hire Purchase (HP) is a straightforward way to own Manitou machinery over time. Payments are fixed, and ownership transfers after the final instalment.
Finance Lease allows businesses to rent Manitou equipment for a fixed period. At the end, you can extend, return, or purchase it depending on terms.
Refinancing releases cash tied up in owned machinery by selling it to a finance provider and hiring or leasing it back.
Below is an overview of key Manitou equipment types available in the UK, and how Gable Asset Finance can support financing these machines.
Manitou telehandlers are designed for lifting, loading, and material handling across agriculture and construction. Popular models include:
These telehandlers combine reach, load capacity, and agility, making them indispensable in farming and building sites. Financing options allow for seasonal repayment profiles that align with income streams, such as harvest or contract cycles.
Articulated and compact loaders excel in tight environments, from barns to urban construction sites. Attachments add versatility. Finance spreads acquisition costs across multiple years while enabling businesses to equip fleets with the right tools.
Manitou industrial forklifts are trusted in warehouses, factories, and yards. Financing enables logistics operators to expand fleets or upgrade to newer models without tying up working capital.
New Manitou equipment offers the latest technology, energy efficiency, and warranty coverage. Financing makes these high-value machines affordable while protecting operational cashflow.
Quality used Manitou machines provide reliability at reduced cost. Financing allows businesses to acquire used assets quickly without heavy upfront expense, making it a cost-effective option for startups or businesses diversifying operations.
Manitou machinery supports a wide range of UK industries. Finance packages are tailored accordingly:
Telehandlers and compact loaders help with feeding, mucking out, bale handling, and general yard tasks. Seasonal finance schedules match farming cashflows.
High-capacity telehandlers and forklifts lift materials and support site logistics. Leasing allows contractors to renew machines regularly to meet health and safety requirements.
Fork trucks in the MI range are central to warehouse operations. Finance spreads costs and supports expansion as businesses grow.
Manitou equipment handles timber, fencing, and estate maintenance. Equity release can free funds for diversification projects.

A construction business opted for Finance Lease on rotating telehandlers. This allowed regular upgrades to meet safety standards while keeping rentals deductible against taxable profits.
A logistics company refinanced a fleet of Manitou MI forklifts, releasing cash to invest in a new storage facility while continuing to use existing equipment.
