Facilities management teams and industrial sites across the UK rely on a diverse fleet of specialised groundcare vehicles to maintain operations, transport staff, ensure site safety, and manage large outdoor or mixed-use environments. As operational expectations rise and sustainability targets tighten, modern organisations increasingly require efficient, low-emission machinery. Gable Asset Finance supports these sectors by offering fast, flexible finance for utility vehicles, compact tractors, ride-on mowers, electric UTVs, ATVs, trailers and other essential groundcare assets.
Facilities management (FM) covers a vast range of environments — corporate campuses, distribution centres, factories, public buildings, universities, hospitals, retail parks and multi-acre industrial premises. Each site presents unique operational challenges, requiring machines that can handle transportation, waste movement, landscaping, inspections, safety operations and general upkeep.
Industrial sites, meanwhile, often combine heavy machinery, mixed-terrain environments, high traffic, and stringent compliance requirements. Groundcare vehicles become essential for:
From distribution hubs to science parks, universities to manufacturing plants, the demand for robust groundcare vehicles is higher than ever — and Gable Asset Finance provides the funding solutions that make modernisation achievable without affecting capital reserves.
Utility vehicles are the backbone of many FM operations, offering versatility, reliability, and the capacity to move tools, waste, and people efficiently.
Popular models include:
UTVs are widely used in FM for inspections, security rounds, grounds maintenance, waste transport and event support. Their compact size allows them to operate safely in pedestrian-heavy areas while still providing powerful performance.
Compact tractors are essential for larger industrial estates, logistics parks, science campuses, and FM contractors with substantial green areas or mixed terrain. They are capable of pulling trailers, running attachments, clearing snow, operating loaders and managing landscaping tasks.
Popular compact tractor brands:
Loaders provide additional lifting capability, enabling FM teams to handle pallets, waste containers, bulk materials and landscaping supplies without requiring full-scale plant machinery.
Mowing machinery is a necessity for FM teams managing expansive green spaces, verges, sports pitches, business parks, landscaped corporate head offices or industrial perimeter land.
Common machinery types:
With staffing pressures across FM, automated mowing solutions are seeing rapid adoption, reducing labour demands while maintaining consistent standards.
All-terrain vehicles provide rapid mobility across large industrial sites, including landfill areas, boundary zones, warehouses with external perimeters, and remote inspection points.
Key uses include:
ATVs are particularly valued in environments with uneven ground, extensive perimeters or remote operational zones.
FM teams frequently rely on trailers for transporting tools, landscaping materials, waste, grit, parts, event assets or maintenance equipment.
Common trailer types:
Depending on the operational environment, FM teams may also require:
These machines ensure that FM departments can maintain site safety, landscape quality and operational efficiency year-round.
Gable provides the UK’s most flexible funding options for FM and industrial sites, enabling organisations to upgrade fleets, transition to electric vehicles, improve sustainability performance and reduce downtime caused by ageing machinery.
Gable works with manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, FM providers and industrial estates to ensure the right finance package supports operational goals and budget requirements.
A major logistics hub needed reliable vehicles for transporting equipment and maintenance staff across a 90-acre site. Gable financed six Club Car Carryall electric UTVs through a Finance Lease, enabling the company to reduce fuel costs and meet sustainability objectives while replacing outdated diesel buggies.
An industrial manufacturing plant required a robust utility vehicle for towing heavy trailers and transporting engineering tools. Gable arranged Hire Purchase finance for a Toro Workman vehicle, helping the plant significantly speed up internal logistics operations.
A facilities management contractor responsible for several business parks needed a compact tractor to support mowing, towing and winter maintenance. Gable financed the tractor and multiple attachments under a single multi-asset agreement.
A UK university with extensive landscaped grounds required high-output mowers to replace ageing equipment. Gable structured a Finance Lease with low initial outlay, enabling the FM team to acquire two Ferris commercial mowers and reduce mowing time by 40%.
A renewable energy facility operating over several remote fields and service tracks required ATVs for fast inspections. Gable financed four quad bikes under Hire Purchase, improving safety response times and operational monitoring.
A UK corporate HQ with sustainability objectives wanted to reduce emissions and labour costs. Gable financed a fleet of robotic mowers through an Operating Lease, allowing the FM team to redeploy personnel to more skilled tasks while maintaining immaculate lawns.
A multi-unit industrial estate required equipment for waste movement, grounds repairs and landscaping. Gable financed several trailers and mini-dumpers under a combined asset finance agreement, simplifying the acquisition process.
A science research campus needed zero-emission transport capable of operating quietly around laboratories and office buildings. Gable arranged a long-term operating lease for electric UTVs and platform trucks.
A large NHS facility required modern grounds equipment to keep outdoor areas safe and presentable. Gable financed ride-on mowers, hedgecutters and blowers, allowing the hospital to modernise without capital disruption.
A food production site needed additional groundcare vehicles but had limited capital after operational expansion. Gable refinanced the company’s existing machinery, unlocking funds that enabled them to acquire new ATVs and UTVs without increasing financial strain.
Gable finances UTVs, compact tractors, ride-on mowers, electric carts, ATVs, trailers, robotic mowers, loaders and more.
