Equipment Finance News Alta remarkets containers for Key Equipment Finance Published: 9th November 2015 Share The Alta Group has completed a comprehensive remarketing program for Key Equipment Finance, resulting in the sale of 3,051 off-lease domestic dry van containers to an undisclosed buyer. Commenting on the deal Carl Chrappa, senior managing director of asset management for Alta, noted that used domestic containers like those involved in the program are traditionally difficult to sell due to their limited useful life. The 53-foot domestic dry van containers, manufactured in 2004, had been leased by a US Class 1 railroad. Alta worked with senior officers in asset management and remarketing at Key Equipment Finance to facilitate the sale and manage related logistics. Logistics included managing three schedules of the containers coming off-lease in 2014 and 2015 and their return to 19 depots, storing them, and coordinating the buyer’s inspection. “Remarketing is an important component of the full lifecycle of leased equipment, and having remarketing partners we can rely on is a priority,” said Adam Warner, president of Key Equipment Finance. “Alta’s extensive knowledge of the industry, strategic advertising efforts, and comprehensive project management led to a very successful engagement with our team.” Pat Sweet Correspondent - Asset Finance Connect Sign up to our newsletter Featured Stories NewsTransport UK London Bus expands electric fleet NewsPACCAR reports strong Q3 revenues and profits Corporate Member NewsPropel Finance assists family-run business with green transition Equipment Finance
