Refurbish and lease

Typically from 7-10 years of age, it becomes valuable to consider refurbishment of trailers. The economic lifetime extension ranges between 4-8 years.

New assets come with a higher price tag today, plus interest and depreciation that add up on your books. Refurbishment lets you extend the life of your current assets at a lower cost, so you get better value from your budget.

Refurbishing brings your trailers back up to top condition, so extending your lease doesn't mean compromising on performance. We refurbish the trailer and lease it back to you at a lower price, giving you more time on the road without the downsides.

Extending your lease with refurbished trailers can help you maintain reliable equipment in your fleet while avoiding the higher cost of buying new assets. Depending on the condition of the trailers and your operational requirements, refurbishment lowers the monthly lease costs, reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), extends asset lifespan by up to 8 years, and get equipment back into operation quickly. The result is a cost-effective way to keep your fleet performing reliably while supporting your operational and sustainability goals.

The upfront cost might look bigger than expected, but refurbishment significantly reduces maintenance costs and downtime down the line, so it pays for itself. We're also fully transparent on pricing, so you'll always know exactly what you're paying for.

A scheduled refurbishment plan helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and keeps performance consistent, so there are fewer surprises along the way. Assets left much beyond 5 to 6 years without attention tend to perform less reliably and can bring unplanned costs, so getting ahead of it works in your favour.

We keep downtime to a minimum with efficient refurbishment services, and replacement vehicles are available if you need them. We'll also agree the plan with you upfront, so it fits around your operations rather than the other way round.

It's great  your fleet is in good condition. Regular maintainance helps maintain that quality and performance and as your assets age, you can consider refurbishment to keep them running at their best for longer.

Assets running well past the typical lifespan can start needing more lead time for repairs and carry more risk of the unexpected. Refurbishment can extend your equipment's lifespan beyond the typical 10 years, helping you keep that reliability going for longer.

If your company owns the trailers, a different refurbishment solution may be more appropriate. TIP also offers Sale, refurbish and leaseback, which allows customers to sell their trailers to TIP, refurbish them and continue operating them under a lease agreement. Our team can help determine which option best fits your fleet strategy. Learn more here.

Refurbishment naturally supports sustainability by extending asset life and reducing waste, so it can quietly move you toward future goals even before they're a priority. It's also worth knowing that many larger customers increasingly look for sustainable partners when choosing who to work with.
