Piston compressor hire in Manchester
Piston compressor hire in Manchester and Greater Manchester: E series from 4 to 11 kW, installed by our UK technicians and dealers, on quote, WhatsApp 24/7.
Across Greater Manchester, from Trafford Park to Openshaw, many firms need compressed air only for a set period: a maintenance contract, a temporary workshop, a busy quarter, a breakdown. A hired piston compressor provides the air without the cost of buying a machine.
Who is it for?
Piston compressor hire in Manchester is aimed at:
- garages and tyre centres across Greater Manchester;
- fabrication units in Openshaw, Ardwick and Newton Heath for a temporary extra station;
- maintenance teams on the Trafford Park and Roundthorn estates;
- building contractors on city centre and Salford sites;
- workshops that want to try a model before buying it.

Piston or screw: which to hire?
Hire a piston compressor when the demand is intermittent: hand tools, tyres, blow guns, a few hours a day. When the machine must run without a break, a screw compressor is better suited: see our offer of screw compressor hire in Manchester. For more detail, read our guide screw or piston compressor.
The E series for hire
The piston compressors we hire come from the E series: 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.
