Storm damage, leaf fall, surface detritus and post-weather debris pose serious risks to UK racecourses. From washed-out walkways to slippery paths, blocked drains, damaged turf and hazardous build-ups of organic material, debris must be removed quickly, safely and professionally.
Gable Business Finance specialises in funding storm-response machinery and debris-clearance equipment for the UK horseracing sector. Our knowledge of racecourse operations, safety requirements, and turf-care machinery enables us to provide tailored finance for all equipment used in leaf clearance, storm recovery, detritus removal and large-area clean-ups.
Whether you require tractor-mounted blowers, ride-on sweepers, vacuum nozzles, collector boxes, tow-behind debris collectors or high-capacity storm-management units, Gable can fund both new and used machines from any supplier, with flexible options designed for racecourse cash flow.
Slippery leaves, wet detritus, storm debris and surface build-up pose a direct threat to horse traction and jockey safety. Leaves that decompose on hard surfaces turn into slick, hazardous detritus, increasing the chance of slips and injuries.
After storms, racecourses must respond rapidly to restore access, clear walkways and stabilise the racing surface.
Without rapid debris removal, leaves and storm detritus can clog drains, rot into the surface layer, encourage algae, damage pathways and degrade turf.
Correct machinery prevents:
Blowers are indispensable for moving high volumes of leaves and light debris quickly across large racecourse estates. They are used on pathways, parade areas, car parks, service lanes, horsewalks and turf surfaces.
Modern blowers offer:
Sweepers provide rapid, large-area cleaning following storms or heavy leaf fall.
Vacuum nozzles are used for heavy detritus removal after storms, especially in large areas such as car parks, verges or maintenance roads.
Gable Business Finance provides flexible funding for both new and used blowers, sweepers, vacuum systems and debris collectors. We finance equipment from dealers, private sellers and specialist manufacturers with no age restrictions.

24–48 hour approvals are common for racecourse equipment purchases.
A major flat racecourse needed a high-volume tractor-mounted blower to manage wet leaves and storm debris across several miles of internal roadways. Gable structured a 5-year Hire Purchase, and included additional vacuum hoses and a collector box in the same facility.
A regional racecourse struggled with decomposing leaves forming hazardous sludge on concrete areas. Gable financed a tractor-mounted sweeper with collector box under a Finance Lease, enabling the course to upgrade brushes annually.
A jumps course required compact equipment to clear narrow walkways, tunnel entrances and stable-yard pathways after storms. Gable provided a low-deposit Hire Purchase agreement covering pedestrian blowers and a trailer-mounted vacuum nozzle.
To tackle rapid leaf buildup during autumn fixtures, a racecourse added a ride-on mower blower attachment. Gable funded the equipment with a 3-year lease allowing for replacement after seasonal wear.
Following severe storms, a large racecourse invested in a sweeper, collector box, tractor-mounted blower and vacuum trailer. Gable created a multi-asset structured finance plan, spreading costs over 6 years with optional early settlement.
Whether you need a single pedestrian blower or an entire debris-clearance fleet, Gable Business Finance provides tailored, flexible funding to protect your racecourse from the challenges of storms, debris and seasonal leaf fall.
