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 Nova 3 – professional blast helmet with high protection and exceptional comfort

The rpb Safety Nova 3 is a compressed-air-powered blast helmet designed for professional blasting applications. It was specifically developed for abrasive blasting processes and combines a robust helmet construction with a particularly comfortable interior, a wide field of view, and even airflow distribution.

The internal padding system distributes the weight across the entire head area, thereby reducing strain on the neck and shoulders. The supplied breathing air is directed specifically through the visor into the breathing zone. This reduces fogging of the visor while also preventing an unpleasant stream of cold air from hitting the head.

The rugged helmet shell is made of technical nylon. All essential wear and comfort parts can be replaced on-site. A small Allen wrench is integrated directly into the helmet design, allowing maintenance work to be performed without an extensive toolkit.

Nylon or leather cape?

The nylon apron is lighter and offers good freedom of movement. It is particularly suitable for general blasting work and applications where minimizing the total weight is a priority.

The leather coverall is more resistant to strongly rebounding abrasive media and intense mechanical stress. It is particularly suitable for demanding continuous use, steel construction, shipyards, and heavy-duty blasting work.

Panoramic view and cassette viewing windows

The large viewing window improves visibility downward and to the side. The cassette-style visor system allows for quick removal of soiled visors while working. The individually folded tabs are easy to grip, even when wearing gloves.

Comfort and Fit

The padding distributes the helmet’s weight evenly across the head. The helmet can be adjusted to fit different head shapes using the rear size adjustment and replaceable side pads. The pads are removable for hygienic cleaning.

Typical Applications

✔ Professional compressed-air blasting
✔ Blasting rooms and blasting halls
✔ Steel and Bridge Construction
✔ Shipyards and Shipbuilding
✔ Mechanical and Plant Engineering
✔ Corrosion Protection and Surface Preparation
✔ Industrial Maintenance
✔ Contract blasting services

breathing-air supply

The Nova 3 requires a suitable breathing-air supply with sufficient flow rate and correct operating pressure. The supplied air must meet the requirements of applicable regulations and the respiratory protection system being used. A breathing-air filter such as the RPB Radex can treat the compressed air, but it does not replace a suitable air source or the required monitoring for carbon monoxide.

📌 Safety Notice:
The helmet may only be used with approved breathing-air hoses, air control valves, and a suitable breathing-air supply. The configuration must comply with the manufacturer’s specifications and the workplace risk assessment.

Maintenance and Care

✔ Check and replace sight glasses regularly
✔ Clean the interior upholstery and check for wear
✔ Check bellows and skirt seals
✔ Keep the air ducts and breathing air connection clean
✔ Check the helmet shell for cracks and damage
✔ Use only approved spare parts
✔ Check the breathing air system for proper function before each use
