Sale and leaseback

Sale and leaseback can be worth exploring if capital is tied up in assets that could be working harder elsewhere. It allows you to unlock cash while keeping your trailers in operation under a predictable full service lease agreement.

A wide range of transportation equipment can be considered, including trucks and trailers, subject to condition and inspection. TIP will assess your fleet and identify the assets best suited for a sale and leaseback arrangement. 
Not every asset is suitable. Equipment condition and advance planning are key to achieving the best outcome.
 

The amount depends on factors such as:
•    Equipment age
•    Equipment condition
•    Equipment type and specification
•    Current market values
•    Total fleet size

Lease terms typically start from 12 months.

Full service lease with TIP includes services such as maintenance, repair management, roadside assistance, damage protection, tyres and telematics.

•    The equipment has very limited remaining useful life
•    The business does not require additional liquidity
•    Equipment no longer meet operational requirements
A fleet assessment should evaluate asset condition, business objectives, growth plans and total cost of ownership before deciding.

Depending on your contract and operational needs, TIP can help adapt your fleet as your business requirements evolve.

Yes. TIP can purchase your trailers, refurbish them to a near-new standard, and lease them back fully serviced, often helping reduce monthly fleet costs. For more information see our sale, refurbish and leaseback page.

When selling your equipment to TIP, this also shifts the reporting burden for Scope 3 lifecycle emissions off your carbon balance sheet and onto ours, which simplifies compliance under frameworks like CSRD.
