Piston compressor hire in Aberdeen
Piston compressor hire in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire: E series from 4 to 11 kW, installed by our UK technicians and dealers, on quote, WhatsApp 24/7.

Piston or screw: which to hire?
Choose a piston compressor if the air is used at intervals: hand tools, tyre inflation, blowing off, a few hours a day. If the compressor has to run continuously, a screw compressor is the better fit: see our screw compressor hire in Aberdeen. Our guide screw or piston compressor explains the difference.
The E series for hire
We hire out the piston compressors of the E series, from 4 to 11 kW, on receivers from 100 to 320 L:
- E 40: 4 kW on a 100 L receiver, ready to plug in, for the workshop and the garage.

Frequently asked questions — Aberdeen
Which piston compressor should I hire for an engineering job in Aberdeen?
For grinders and blow guns used through part of the day, the E 110 (11 kW, 320 L, 8 bar, 1.6 m³/min) feeds several workstations. For a smaller job, such as a valve overhaul, the E 75 (7.5 kW, 180 L) is enough.
When is a screw compressor better than a piston in Aberdeen?
A piston compressor suits intermittent use, a few hours a day. If your compressor must run continuously, over a full day or several shifts, a screw compressor is the better choice. We also hire screw compressors in Aberdeen, from 5.5 to 132 kW.
