The Benefits of Hiring Your Equipment
Hiring compressed air equipment offers significant flexibility and financial advantages over buying.

- Full Maintenance Included: Our hire service includes all standard maintenance and repairs, giving you peace of mind and no surprise bills.
- Try Before You Buy: Consider leasing or long-term rental as a cost-effective option to test a specific model before committing to a purchase.
- Scalability: Quickly add or remove capacity to match your production demands without being tied to a permanent asset.

Frequently Asked Questions
The size you need depends on the tools or machinery you’re powering. A simple tool like a nail gun might only need low flow, while heavy sandblasting can require 200 cfm or more. Contact our technical team, and we can calculate the exact flow and pressure you require.
An oil-injected system (or oil-lubricated) uses oil in the compression chamber. This is the standard for most industrial and construction tools. An oil-free version uses no oil in the chamber, making it essential for sensitive applications like food, medicine, and electronics where air purity is critical.
We pride ourselves on our rapid response service across Scotland. For emergency breakdowns, our goal is to get a replacement or portable unit to your site within hours. Call our 24/7 hotline for an immediate time estimate.
