Piston compressor hire in Inverness

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

Across Inverness and the Highlands, many jobs need compressed air for a few weeks only: a building site in a village on the Black Isle, a farm workshop during the busy season, a garage at Longman taking on extra work, a maintenance job at a distillery. A hired piston compressor gives you the air for the job without buying a machine.

Who is it for?

Piston compressor hire in Inverness is aimed at:

  • construction, joinery and building contractors across the Highlands;
  • garages, tyre centres and plant workshops on the Longman estate and around the city;
  • farms and agricultural contractors;
  • maintenance teams at distilleries and at the Inverness Airport Business Park;
  • businesses that want to test a model before buying.

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 Inverness. 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.
  • 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 tractor and truck tyre inflation and demanding tools.
  • E 110: 11 kW, 320 L receiver, 8 bar, 1.6 m³/min, for several workstations at once.

We help you choose according to your tools and the pressure they need.

Frequently asked questions — Inverness

Which piston compressor should I hire for a farm or a site in the Highlands?

For tractor and truck tyre inflation and demanding tools, the two-stage E 75 HP (7.5 kW, 12.5 bar, 300 L) is well suited. For hand tools in a workshop, the E 40 (4 kW, 100 L) is ready to plug in.

When is a screw compressor better than a piston in Inverness?

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 Inverness, from 5.5 to 132 kW.
