Benefits of Refrigerated Van Leasing & Finance
Asset finance is most commonly used to acquire hard assets. A hard asset is a tangible/physical asset with fundamental value that are normally held for the long term. Like recovery trucks they are often key to the businesses operations but are expensive in value. These are two of the key reasons why most businesses look to use a hard asset finance facility. There are also a range of benefits that come with this option:
Protect Cash Flow
Keep cash in the business and invest in areas that will produce a return on investment. Obtain the vehicle that is necessary for your business with little to no upfront cost.
Fixed Repayments
Perfect for financial planning and selecting a finance package that is affordable for your business.
No Large Upfront Cost
No need to invest large sums upfront, however this is an option if you wish to reduce monthly payments.
Quick Access
If you need a recovery truck urgently but don’t have the immediate cash available, finance allows you to obtain the asset immediately without having to wait for the cash reserves.
Access to Higher Spec Vehicles
No need to compromise on the vehicle you select. The difference in a newer or higher spec vehicle can often be a very small increase in monthly payments.
Different Types
There are four different types of refrigerated vans.
Types of Refrigerated Vans
Insulation-only Van
The insulation-only van contains a thick layer of insultation in the loading bay, usually made from around 50mm of Styrofoam and polystyrene. With no refrigeration, this type of van is most suited to businesses transporting non-perishable goods. Therefore, if you are transporting food items this van would not be advised. It is ideal for businesses wanting to maintain a consistent temperature inside the van.
Chiller Conversion Van
A chiller conversion van is an extremely popular choice due to its versatility and ability to achieve temperatures as low as 0°C, up to 8°C. It is ideal for pharmaceutical companies and those transporting chilled food to be stored at 0°C or above. Perfect conditions for transporting chilled meat and dairy products.
Semi-freezer Conversion Van
If you are wanting to transport frozen goods, then the semi-freezer conversion van is the ideal option. A thick layer of insulation around 75mm thick, the freezer unit will keep a constant temperature of around -10°C up to -15°C. Some of these semi-freezer vans also come with a defrost option which defrosts in seconds.
Full-freezer Conversion Van
This type of refrigerated van is similar to the semi-freezer but with reinforced side and rear doors it has the ability to keeps products frozen as low as -20°C. Our suppliers can also provide options that can maintain even lower temperatures, by simply adding further insulation. These vehicles also come with the ‘reverse cycle anti frost’ system, as with the semi-freezer vans this can defrost the goods in seconds.
HAF Finance
Here we have the four agreement types used for recovery truck finance and all hard assets. Here at HAF, we will guide you through all options and help you select the most suitable for your business.
Finance Options
Hire Purchase
Hire Purchase (HP) are monthly rental instalments where at the end of the term you have the option to purchase the asset outright or simply return it. Payments can be structured to align with your cash flow which could mean a small upfront payment or larger to reduce monthly payments.
Finance Lease
A finance lease is a leasing agreement which involves renting the asset over an agreed period of 1-5 years. A popular method due to the significant tax advantages. At the end of the agreement, you have four options: Hand the asset back to us at HAF, purchase the asset outright, continue paying the monthly payments or take out a new lease.
Operating Lease
An operating lease is an agreement to use and operate an asset without the transfer of ownership. Often used for high value assets, the rental is at an agreed rate and time period. The rental will not cover the full cost of the asset, therefore at the end of the agreement a residual value is offered by the funder which allows you to buy the asset minus the lease rentals paid so far.
Business Contract Hire
Business contract hire is a popular finance option used for company cars. The vehicle is leased over an agreed period from 2-5 years. At the end of the agreement, the vehicle is handed back to the finance company. A simple agreement often used for brand new vehicles, sometimes used with no upfront fee just monthly instalments.
