Piston compressor hire in London

Name: Piston compressor hire in London
Brand: AIRSTAHL

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

London runs on small workshops as much as on offices. Garages in every borough, body shops along the North Circular, joinery firms in Brimsdown and Edmonton, and building contractors on sites from Stratford to Battersea often need compressed air for a limited time: a refurbishment, a busy month, a compressor that has failed. A hired piston compressor covers that need without a purchase.

Who is it for?

Piston compressor hire in London is aimed at:

garages, MOT centres and tyre fitters across the capital;
joinery and shopfitting workshops in Park Royal, Brimsdown or Purley Way that need extra air for a big order;
building and refurbishment contractors on sites in central and east London;
facilities and maintenance teams on industrial estates around Barking and Dagenham;
businesses that want to try a model before buying it.

See also our page on compressors for joinery workshops.

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 London. 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 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 — London

Which piston compressor should I hire for a London garage?

For tyre changers, impact wrenches and blow guns, the E 75 (7.5 kW, 180 L, 8 or 12.5 bar) suits most garages. A smaller workshop can manage with the E 40 (4 kW, 100 L), and the E 110 (11 kW, 320 L, 8 bar) feeds several bays at once.

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

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 London, from 5.5 to 132 kW.

How much does it cost to hire a piston compressor in London?

Piston compressor hire is on quote, depending on the model, the hire period and the installation site in London or the surrounding counties. Send your request through the quote form and we reply quickly with a firm figure.
