Leasing & Rent-to-Own

We offer leasing and rent-to-own financing options exclusively to business owners, tradespeople, and the self-employed for selected products with a net merchandise value of €1,000 or more. Below you will find the key differences between these two financing options.

Leasing

In a lease, the product is made available to the lessee for use in exchange for regular lease payments. The lessor is responsible for accounting for the lease. The lease payments can generally be claimed as business expenses for tax purposes. These are gross payments, and value-added tax is charged throughout the entire term. At the end of the agreed-upon basic lease term, it is generally possible to purchase the product.

Hire Purchase

Hire purchase is economically equivalent to installment purchase. The product is capitalized on the hire purchaser’s balance sheet and depreciated in accordance with the official depreciation tables. Upon payment of the final hire purchase installment, ownership of the item is transferred to the hire purchaser. Value-added tax must be paid in full with the first hire purchase installment (transitory item).

Shipping & Delivery

Depending on the size, weight, and nature of our goods, they are shipped either via parcel service or freight carrier. We select the shipping method at our reasonable discretion.

The delivery times listed in the online store are non-binding estimates, unless a binding delivery date has been expressly confirmed in writing. They are based on the information available from our manufacturers, suppliers, and logistics partners at the time the order is placed.

Most of the products offered are shipped directly from the manufacturer or from external central warehouses (direct shipping). As a result, delivery times may differ from the estimated times provided. Delivery delays may occur, particularly in the event of material shortages, production delays, supply bottlenecks, force majeure, or other circumstances beyond our control.

Disclaimer:

We assume no liability for delivery delays resulting from circumstances beyond our control. This applies in particular to delays caused by manufacturers, suppliers, shipping companies, or other third parties. Liability for any resulting damages—in particular for indirect damages, consequential damages, or lost profits—is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

Partial deliveries are permitted, provided they are reasonable for the customer. This does not result in additional shipping costs, unless otherwise agreed.

The exact delivery time for an item can be provided on an individual basis upon request, either before or after the order is placed.

Please contact us by phone at +49 (0)2551 5030 or by email at shipping@strahltechnik-express.de.

In the event of significant delivery delays, we will inform the customer immediately. The customer’s mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected by this.

RPB Safety C40 – Breathing-air climate control unit for cooling and heating the supplied breathing air

The rpb Safety C40 is a compact climate control unit for compressed-air-powered respiratory protection systems. It allows the user to adjust the temperature of the supplied breathing air directly from the belt, making it more comfortable to work in hot or cold conditions.

A lever can be used to switch between cooling and heating modes. The C40 can cool the incoming breathing air by up to 29 °C or heat it by up to 18 °C. The airflow can also be adjusted using a separate control.

How It Works

The C40 operates on the vortex tube principle. A portion of the supplied compressed air is used for temperature separation, while the required breathing air flow is directed to the helmet. Therefore, the compressed air supply must cover not only the air requirements of the respiratory protection system but also the additional consumption of the air conditioning unit.

📌 Important:
The C40 may only be operated as part of a respiratory protection configuration approved by the manufacturer. A compressed air supply that is too small may fail to deliver the required airflow to the helmet.

Maintenance and Care

✔ Clean the silencer regularly and replace it as needed
✔ Keep the air intake and connections clean
✔ Check the function of the temperature lever and air regulator
✔ Protect the equipment from abrasive media and paint mist
✔ Use only approved breathing-air hoses
