Free up capital from your trailer fleet, without replacing it.

Sale, refurbish and leaseback

Many fleet operators are facing the same challenge: ageing trailers, rising maintenance costs, long replacement lead times and limited investment budgets. TIP can purchase your trailers, refurbish them, and lease them back to you with full-service maintenance included. You continue using the equipment your business relies on, while releasing capital and spreading costs through predictable monthly payments.

The result: capital released, fleet modernised and predictable monthly costs - typically around 15% lower monthly rates compared to leasing new trailers.

A smarter and cost-efficient alternative to replacement

Owned assets tie up capital on the balance sheet, while carrying depreciation, maintenance exposure and residual value risk.
Rather than investing heavily in new trailers, operators can release cash from existing ones and spread refurbishment costs over the lease period.

Release capital

Turn owned trailers into available capital while continuing to use the equipment your operations depend on

Extend fleet life

Refurbish structurally sound trailers for additional working years while reporting your CO2 savings

Control monthly costs

Lease the refurbished trailers back with full-service maintenance and fixed monthly lease rates

A structured approach, from valuation to leaseback

Asset valuation

TIP evaluates the current market value of your trailers to determine their fair value and the potential business case for refurbishment and leaseback

Refurbishment

Each trailer is refurbished to near-new standard by TIP’s own workshops and trusted partners, with options ranging from cosmetic and technical refurbishment to a full overhaul

Leaseback

You lease the refurbished trailers back with full service maintenance included, typically at around 15% lower monthly cost than new

The outcome: a modernised fleet, with no upfront capital requirement and full operational continuity.

Build your business case

Is your fleet a good candidate?

The best candidates are trailers that remain structurally sound but are approaching replacement age.

This solution is often worth exploring if:

✓ You want to extend fleet life by several years

✓ Ageing trailers are becoming more expensive to maintain

✓ Pressure to modernise the fleet without major capital expenditure

✓ Difficult choices between refurbishment and replacement

✓ Long lead times for new equipment, not aligning with business needs

✓ Pressure to improve sustainability while controlling costs
