Screeners are a vital component of modern construction, demolition, recycling, and aggregate processing operations. Used to separate materials by size and specification, screening equipment enables construction businesses to improve efficiency, control quality, reduce waste, and unlock additional revenue streams from recycled materials.
At Gable Business Finance, we understand that screeners are not optional extras – they are strategic assets that directly affect productivity, compliance, and profitability. From mobile screeners used on demolition and remediation sites to large static screening plants operating within quarries and recycling facilities, these machines require careful investment planning and specialist finance support.
The construction sector is one of the most diverse industries in the UK. Contractors, demolition specialists, recycling operators, quarry owners, and civil engineering firms all rely on screening equipment in different ways. Having worked within this sector for many years, Gable Business Finance understands the unique challenges construction businesses face when funding high-value plant. Our role is to provide flexible, competitive, and informed funding solutions that reflect real-world site conditions, project cycles, and cashflow pressures.
Screeners are used to separate materials into defined sizes, allowing businesses to reuse, resell, or further process materials efficiently. On construction and demolition sites, screening equipment is often used in conjunction with crushers to process waste materials on-site.
Key operational requirements of screeners include:
Screeners are frequently deployed in challenging environments, including demolition sites, brownfield redevelopment, infrastructure projects, and quarries. Downtime or poor performance can disrupt entire material processing workflows, increasing costs and delaying project completion.
From a commercial standpoint, screeners allow construction businesses to maximise the value of materials already on-site. Instead of paying for disposal and importing new aggregates, screened materials can often be reused for backfill, sub-base, or sold as recycled aggregate.
Screeners also play a critical role in environmental compliance. Many projects now require waste reduction targets and sustainable material management. Effective screening supports these objectives while improving margins.
Given their importance and cost, screening equipment must be financed in a way that supports cashflow and operational flexibility. Gable Business Finance works closely with construction businesses to ensure screener investments strengthen, rather than restrict, commercial performance.
Mobile screeners are widely used on construction, demolition, and recycling sites. Their mobility allows materials to be processed directly where they are generated, reducing transport and handling costs.
Tracked screeners are designed for rough terrain and demanding site conditions. They are commonly used alongside mobile crushers on demolition and infrastructure projects.
Wheeled screeners offer easier relocation between sites and are often used by contractors working across multiple locations.
Static screeners form part of fixed processing plants, typically used in quarries and recycling facilities. These installations often represent substantial long-term capital investment.
Scalpers are used for pre-screening large volumes of material, removing oversized or contaminated material before crushing.
Gable Business Finance provides a full range of finance solutions for screening equipment, designed specifically for construction, demolition, and aggregate businesses.
Hire Purchase allows construction businesses to acquire screeners while spreading the cost over a fixed term.
This option is ideal for businesses that rely on screening equipment daily and want to build asset ownership.
Finance Lease provides access to screening equipment without ownership, typically resulting in lower monthly payments compared to Hire Purchase.
This is often chosen by businesses that regularly upgrade equipment or want to minimise balance sheet exposure.
Many construction businesses own screeners outright or have equity in existing machines. Refinancing allows this value to be released as working capital.
This funding can be used to:
Mobile screeners with strong residual values can sometimes be financed using structured agreements that reduce monthly repayments.
Cashflow funding provides access to working capital based on business performance rather than specific assets. This is particularly useful for construction businesses managing large or complex projects.
Invoice finance allows businesses to unlock cash tied up in unpaid invoices, supporting ongoing operations alongside screener investment.
Contract Hire is ideal for short-term projects or specialist applications where long-term ownership is not required.
