Fab and Site.
"If you want one or one hundred, we
have the package best suited to your requirements.
We are pleased to sell you containers directly from
the depot in our nationwide network which is closest
to you in order to minimize transport costs. We
happily arrange delivery at cost to you with one of
our wide range of haulage contractors. Vehicles will
always be equipped with HIAB lifting gear to place
each container where you designate on your site.
We rent our containers, but since they are new, we
usually require a minimum commitment period of one
year. We are pleased to agree a purchase price with
you so that you can buy the container at anytime
after delivery, if you so wish.
We offer lease purchase on our containers, normally
over a five year period after which you own the
container outright for a final payment of £1. We can
vary the period and the buyout price to best suit
your cash flow.
We aim to be highly flexible in our purchase offers
to you; so do not hesitate to discuss your specific
requirements"
Container leasing
involves entering into a working agreement with a
container supplier. The supplier agrees to deliver a
minimum number of containers to the client, with the
understanding that the containers will be used for a
specified time and at a rate documented within the
terms of the lease agreement. Both the supplier and
the customer will also agree to other terms and
conditions required by applicable laws, and any
other negotiations made between the two entities.
One of the main benefits to container leasing is the
flexibility that is often built into the lease
agreement. Often, the supplier and client agree upon
a minimum number of containers to be in the
possession of the client for the duration of the
lease. However, additional containers can be
requested and delivered for use when and as the
customer needs them. It is not unusual for discount
leasing fees to be applied to those extra
containers. As a result, the customer only keeps
what is needed on hand, but has immediate access to
additional containers with only minimal expense
involved.
Companies also find that a container leasing
arrangement helps to eliminate the need for upkeep
on the containers themselves. While customers are
expected to take reasonable care of the containers,
most container leasing companies realize that normal
use takes place. Customers can turn in older
containers for newer ones from time to time, often
without any changes to the terms of the leasing
agreement. Sell offs from leasing companies is a
great source of second hand containers. It is not
unusual for a container lease to provide customers
access to more than one type of container for
shipping purposes.
A given contract may
establish the ability of the client to enjoy tank
container leasing privileges along with the standard
storage container lease that is common for units
constructed for use with dry stuffs. This
arrangement tends to work well for companies that
import and export goods from various continents, or
that sell both solid and liquid goods.
Providers sometimes include provisions in their
container leasing agreements that make it possible
for customers to receive discounted pricing should
they choose to purchase a minimum number of units.
This provision is helpful for companies going
through an expansion that makes it more feasible for
the business to own and operate their own
transportation network rather than use sub contract.
Often, the cost per unit is significantly less than
purchasing containers from a new supplier.
Because there are advantages to container leasing as
well as container ownership, companies may require
some assistance in determining which option is in
the best interests of the company. A reputable
container sales and leasing company such as
www.fabandsite.co.uk can help business owners
evaluate their needs and decide if purchasing
containers would be a better approach than container
leasing.
