Temporary Compressed Air When You Need It Most
Planned shutdowns, factory moves, capacity testing, or peak demand. The right machine, delivered, installed, and connected.
Production Cannot Wait for Your Compressor
A compressor breakdown does not pause your production schedule. Neither does a planned shutdown, a factory move, or a peak demand period that pushes your existing system beyond capacity. Every hour without compressed air is an hour of lost output, missed deadlines, and frustrated customers.
Buying a spare compressor to cover these situations ties up capital in a machine that sits idle 95% of the time. Relying on a single compressor with no backup is a risk most operations accept until the day it actually fails.
What you need is the right machine, at the right pressure and flow rate, delivered and connected before the gap in supply becomes a gap in production.
The Right Machine, Ready When You Need It
Our hire fleet covers 5.5kW to 250kW, electric and diesel, oil lubricated and oil free. Every hire machine is fully serviced, PAT tested, and delivered with hoses, fittings, and a commissioning check. We do not drop a compressor at your gate and leave. Our engineers connect, commission, and verify output pressure and flow before signing off.
Planned hire for shutdowns, moves, and projects is scheduled in advance with guaranteed availability. We match the hire machine to your actual demand so you are not paying for capacity you do not need. For longer hire periods, we include scheduled service visits to keep the machine running reliably throughout.
Short notice hire for breakdowns and urgent situations follows the same standard. We aim to have a machine on site within 4 to 24 hours depending on your location and the machine specification required. Our national contract customers receive priority allocation from the hire fleet as part of their SLA.
Requirement Assessment
We confirm your pressure, flow rate, air quality, and power supply requirements. For planned hire, this happens during the booking process. For urgent hire, we do it by phone and match from available stock.
Delivery and Installation
The hire machine is delivered to site, positioned, connected to your distribution system, and commissioned by our engineers. Hoses, fittings, and any necessary adaptors are included.
Commissioning Check
Output pressure, flow rate, and air quality are verified before handover. We confirm the machine meets your operational requirements and brief your on-site team on basic daily checks.
Collection and Debrief
When the hire period ends, we collect the machine and debrief with your team. If the hire was covering a breakdown, we provide a condition report on your permanent machine with repair or replacement recommendations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size compressors are available for hire?
Our hire fleet ranges from 5.5kW to 250kW, covering most industrial compressed air applications. Electric and diesel options are available. Oil free machines are available for food, pharmaceutical, and clean manufacturing applications. If your requirement falls outside our standard fleet, we can source specialist machines from partner hire companies at short notice.
How quickly can you deliver a hire compressor?
For UK mainland locations, we aim to deliver within 4 to 24 hours depending on your location and the machine specification required. National contract customers receive priority allocation. Planned hire for shutdowns and projects should be booked at least 2 weeks in advance to guarantee availability of the specific machine you need.
Is installation included in the hire price?
Yes. Delivery, positioning, connection to your distribution system, commissioning, and collection are all included in the hire price. You do not need to arrange separate installation. Our engineers handle everything from delivery to handover.
What does compressor hire cost?
Hire rates depend on machine size, type (electric or diesel, oil lubricated or oil free), and hire duration. Weekly rates are lower than daily rates, and long term hire (over 4 weeks) benefits from further discounts. We provide a fixed quote before any hire begins. There are no hidden charges for delivery, installation, or collection on UK mainland sites.
