Leasing & Rent-to-Own
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 ā¬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 purchaserās 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
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 damagesāin particular for indirect damages, consequential damages, or lost profitsāis 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 customerās mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected by this.

Calao 28 or Calao 58?
The Calao 28 is the more portable model and, with a 24-liter capacity, already offers good operating autonomy. It is suitable for regular use on construction sites, larger pieces of furniture, beams, facade areas, vehicle parts, and many traditional restoration projects.
The Calao 58 features a 50-liter hopper and allows for longer operating intervals without refilling. It is particularly well-suited for applications involving large areas, extended operating times, or higher volumes of abrasive.
Suitable Surfaces
ā Steel, cast iron, aluminum, and automotive body parts
ā Natural stone, brick, concrete, and facades
ā Glass and decorative surfaces
ā Polyester, fiberglass, and boat hulls
ā Machine and plant components
Choosing the Right Compressor
The required air flow rate depends primarily on the nozzle size and operating pressure. Larger nozzles increase the surface coverage rate but require significantly more compressed air. For the Calao 28, a usable air flow rate of approximately 1,200ā2,000 l/min is recommended, depending on the nozzle. For the Calao 58 and larger nozzles, plan for approximately 2,000ā3,000 l/min or more.
Suitable Abrasive Media
ā Garnet for controlled material removal and durable surfaces
ā Glass beads for gentle cleaning and finishing
ā Walnut shell abrasive for sensitive materials
ā Baking soda for special cleaning tasks
ā Use only dry media with sufficient flowability
Typical Applications
ā Facade and Natural Stone Cleaning
ā Derusting metal structures
ā Vehicle and classic car restoration
ā Boat Building and Antifouling Removal
ā Building renovation and historic preservation
ā Contract blasting and cleaning services
Maintenance and Care
ā Remove condensate from the compressed air supply
ā Check the nozzle regularly for wear
ā Check the blast hose and couplings
ā Keep the metering device clean and free-moving
ā Check the remote control and dead manās switch
ā Use only suitable, dry abrasive media
