Local authorities across the UK are responsible for maintaining thousands of hectares of public land: parks,
sports grounds, cemeteries, playgrounds, allotments, roadside verges, nature reserves, and community green spaces.
The demand for well-maintained outdoor environments continues to grow as councils respond to environmental
targets, increased public usage, and rising expectations for accessible, attractive green spaces.
To meet these expectations, councils rely on fleets of specialised groundcare vehicles — from high-output mowers
to compact tractors, sweepers, refuse collectors, and winter maintenance equipment. But with shrinking public
budgets and procurement constraints, acquiring essential machinery can be challenging.
Gable Business Finance provides tailored asset finance solutions that allow local authorities to upgrade
their groundcare fleets, spread costs over predictable terms, and avoid large upfront capital outlay.
Public-sector grounds teams must keep outdoor areas safe, clean, and visually appealing. This requires multiple
machinery types, each suited for different environmental, seasonal, and operational challenges.
These spaces require reliable machinery capable of high-output performance, sustainable operation, and year-round
serviceability. Failure to maintain the required standards can lead to public complaints, increased safety risks,
and regulatory non-compliance — all of which place pressure on local authority teams.
Every item on this list can be financed through Gable, whether purchased from a licensed dealer,
direct manufacturer, or via private sale.
Public bodies benefit significantly from structured equipment finance, especially when budgeting across
multi-year cycles. Gable Business Finance provides access to competitive public-sector asset funding
for all forms of groundcare machinery.
Gable helps councils maintain essential operations, meet environmental obligations, and deliver
high-quality public spaces without straining annual budgets.
A metropolitan council sought to reduce emissions in line with their sustainability strategy. Gable financed
a new fleet of electric UTVs and battery-powered hand tools, spreading the cost over five years.
A rural county council required modern tractor-mounted verge flails to manage highways safely. Gable structured
a hire purchase plan enabling immediate deployment before the cutting season began.
A growing urban authority expanded its mowing fleet to manage newly created green spaces. A finance lease helped
them avoid capital expenditure while upgrading to commercial-grade triple-deck rotary mowers.
Following repeated public complaints about litter and leaves, a council invested in new sweepers and suction units.
Gable arranged an operating lease allowing annual equipment refreshes.
A coastal authority upgraded its gritters and snowplough attachments through an asset refinance agreement, funding
the new equipment ahead of a predicted severe winter.
Local authorities face increasing pressure to maintain safe, clean, and environmentally responsible public spaces.
Groundcare vehicles are essential to delivering these outcomes — but purchasing equipment outright can be
financially demanding. With flexible finance solutions from Gable Business Finance, councils can modernise fleets,
spread costs responsibly, and maintain operational continuity year-round.
