LEASING
Use trucks instead of buying them – and at low costs too
Do you need to use forklifts or warehouse technology trucks in the medium or long term? Then we recommend a leasing agreement with individual terms for fixed monthly installments – protecting you against depreciation and interest. This does not tie up capital, and keeps you flexible on your balance sheet.
Advantages
- Low financial burden, thanks to a calculation of residual value based on use
- Conservation of banking credit lines for other investment purposes
- Reduction in corporate taxes thanks to leasing rates as business expenses
RENTAL
For use with service included
Do you need a forklift in the medium to long-term, and simultaneously value the continuous availability of your fleet, with no risk? The Linde Rental Package offers you the advantages of a leased forklift, plus a complete maintenance and repair service at a fixed monthly rate. You have the certainty that your vehicles are ready to go at all times, and are able to foresee the costs in the long term.
Advantages
- Guaranteed operational readiness thanks to monthly installments
- All servicing and repair costs covered from the start
- Affordable monthly installments through cost-effective preventative maintenance
RENT-TO-OWN
From using a truck to purchasing one
Hire purchase is the appropriate choice if you ultimately want to own the vehicle, and thus would like your use of it to be combined with a purchase. With individually arranged payment plans and fixed hire purchase rates, this model functions similarly to purchase on credit, with flexible balance sheet organization.
Advantages
- Buying on credit, thus none of your own capital is used in the purchase
- Accounting as a rent-to-own opens up options for subsidies
- Discretionary agreement of terms allows installments to be optimized cost-effectively
SHORT TERM RENTAL
For short-term use
Do you only need a forklift now and then, or only for one single use? Logistics vehicles can be hired from Linde for hours, days, or weeks. With or without a driver, at fixed or variable prices. With more than 40,000 vehicles, Linde offers the largest short term rental fleet in Europe – and the greatest variety in choice.
Advantages
- Flexible coverage for every type of logistical need
- No investment of capital necessary, protecting your balance sheet
- Reduced taxes thanks to deductible monthly installments
