Council Equipment
Practical Solutions for Real Council Needs
Managing community infrastructure and services means councils need reliable equipment on time, on budget, without tying up vital capital. That’s where Yellowgate’s Rent Now, Buy Later solution comes in.
Using Yellowgate’s Rent to Own plan, you can access the equipment your council needs without blowing your budget or locking into long-term commitments.
From excavators, graders and dozers, to mowers, sweepers, generators, and water pumps, our flexible Rent to Own model gives you access to equipment, when you need it most. Our flexible end of rental options allow you total control – continue renting, purchase at a reduced rate or return your equipment. Easy.
It’s cost-effective, scalable, and designed to support councils to deliver to their communities regardless of CapEx budgets and time of year.
TOTAL CONTROL
Why Rent to Own
Sensible + flexible
Our Rent Now, Buy Later product offers manageable monthly rental payments, and the flexibility to purchase or return the equipment at the end of the term.
A Stake In Ownership Over Time
Your rental payments can be accruing towards a reduction in the cost of ownership, if you choose to purchase your equipment.
Operational efficiency
Boost productivity with access to quality, late-model machinery equipped with the most innovative technology from your local dealer network.
CapEx Friendly
Avoid the CapEx and budget pressures that come with purchasing equipment outright. Like dry hire, rental is considered an operational expense, helping you stay within procurement limits without sacrificing access to equipment essential to operations
Stay Compliant and Keep Moving
Meets procurement compliance requirements while ensuring uninterrupted service delivery, so critical projects and community services are delivered on time, without the hit to your budget.
Scalability
The Rent Now, Buy Later model allows you to adjust fleet requirements easily as your needs grow and change. The option to return the equipment at the end of the agreement makes asset disposal easy.
