INTRODUCING OUR BRAND NEW TRACTOR FLEET

In July 2024, Dublin City Council launched a new fleet of tractors, rented from Holden Plant Rentals, to bolster park maintenance operations across the city. This fleet is a critical component in Dublin’s plan to enhance its extensive network of green spaces, which includes hundreds of parks, recreational areas, and tree-lined streets. The initiative reflects the Council’s commitment to fostering a greener urban environment, making these public areas more accessible and enjoyable for residents and visitors alike.

The tractors come equipped with various attachments tailored for specialized tasks, allowing them to handle diverse landscaping needs such as lawn mowing, tree trimming, and path maintenance. These machines will support year-round care, essential for sustaining the health and beauty of the city’s parks, especially during high-use seasons like summer. With this fleet, Dublin City Council can more efficiently address the maintenance needs of larger parks, including Phoenix Park and St. Stephen’s Green, as well as smaller neighborhood gardens that are vital to community life.

This equipment update is part of Dublin’s ongoing investment in sustainable and efficient urban maintenance. The Council chose Holden Plant Rentals as a trusted partner to supply modern, low-emission tractors that contribute to the city’s sustainability targets. By prioritizing advanced machinery, Dublin is aligning park management practices with its environmental policies, which include reducing emissions, increasing biodiversity, and creating resilient green infrastructure.

The new fleet also underscores Dublin City Council’s long-term strategy to ensure that all public green spaces remain safe, well-maintained, and equipped to support recreational activities. Initiatives like these reflect Dublin’s dedication to urban green spaces as essential assets that improve air quality, provide habitats for wildlife, and offer much-needed recreational space for the community​

This fleet launch reflects ongoing public investment in green infrastructure, a priority in Dublin’s urban planning to balance the city’s growth with accessible green areas for residents and visitors. The move also underscores the city’s commitment to reducing maintenance-related emissions by choosing efficient, modern equipment.
