The Benefits of Hiring Your Compressor
Hiring compressed air equipment offers significant flexibility and financial advantages over buying.
- Financial Flexibility: Avoid the large upfront capital cost of buying new machinery. Hiring moves your expense to a predictable operational cost (OPEX).
- 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 4-8 CFM, while industrial sandblasting can require 200 CFM or more. Contact our technical team, and we can calculate the exact flow (CFM) and pressure (PSI) you require.
An oil-injected air compressor (or oil-lubricated) uses oil in the compression chamber. This is the standard for most industrial and construction tools. An oil-free air compressor 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 air compressor or portable compressor to your site within hours. Call our 24/7 hotline for an immediate time estimate.
Our hire rate typically includes the equipment rental and all scheduled maintenance. Delivery, collection, and fuel (for diesel models) may be quoted separately. We provide a clear, affordable quote with no hidden fees, so you understand the total cost upfront.
