Libra Utility Services is a family‑run, utility services provider delivering specialist drainage, pumping, tankering and groundworks solutions across London, the South East and beyond. With over 40 years of industry experience, Libra operates and maintains a modern fleet of specialist vehicles and equipment to support commercial, municipal and development projects.

The opportunity

As part of its ongoing growth strategy, Libra Utility Services continues to invest in high‑quality, reliable equipment to meet increasing demand and maintain the high standards expected by its clients.

Their latest investment — a Bucher Municipal Superflex tanker mounted on a Scania chassis, complete with a night heater and safety barrier holder — was selected to enhance operational efficiency, improve operator welfare and support safer working environments on-site.
With a strong, established relationship with Bucher Municipal, Libra knew the asset would deliver the performance and reliability required — the next step was securing funding that aligned with their business needs.
