Piston compressor hire in Edinburgh

In Edinburgh, from Sighthill and South Gyle to Leith and Loanhead, small and medium-sized sites often need compressed air for a short period: a festival build, a refurbishment, a busy season at a brewery, a compressor in for repair. A hired piston compressor covers the need without buying a machine.

Who is it for?

Piston compressor hire in Edinburgh is aimed at:

• garages and tyre centres across the city and the Lothians;
• joinery workshops and stage builders preparing for the festival season;
• breweries and distilleries for a temporary extra air point;
• building and refurbishment contractors on New Town and Leith sites;
• businesses 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 Edinburgh. 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.
• E 75: 7.5 kW, 180 L receiver on wheels, 8 or 12.5 bar, 0.9 m³/min.
• E 75 HP: two-stage, 7.5 kW, 12.5 bar, 300 L receiver, 1.05 m³/min, for truck tyre inflation and demanding tools.
• E 110: 11 kW, 320 L receiver, 8 bar, 1.6 m³/min, for several workstations at once.
