Piston compressor hire in Birmingham

Birmingham is full of metalworking shops, and many of them only need extra air for a while. A press shop in Tyseley sets up a temporary cell, a jeweller in the Jewellery Quarter runs a busy season, a body shop in Small Heath waits for its own compressor to be repaired. A hired piston compressor answers these needs without buying a machine.

Who is it for?

Piston compressor hire in Birmingham is aimed at:

• machine shops and fabricators in Tyseley, Hay Mills and Aston for a temporary extra station;
• workshops in the Jewellery Quarter for polishing and blowing off;
• garages, body shops and truck workshops along the M6 and M42 corridors;
• building contractors on regeneration sites around Digbeth;
• companies that want to test a model before buying.

Piston or screw: which to hire?

A piston compressor is the right choice when air is needed now and then: air tools, inflation, blowing off, a few hours a day. For air that must flow all day or over several shifts, hire a screw compressor instead: see screw compressor hire in Birmingham. Our article piston vs screw compressor compares the two.

The E series for hire

Our hire fleet uses the E series piston compressors, from 4 to 11 kW with 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.
