What to send us
- Site location, and how a truck can reach it
- What the air is for, and the tool or process
- Flow (CFM or m3/min) and pressure (bar or psi) needed at the tool
- Diesel or electric, and whether grid power exists on site
- Hire period and start date, and hours per day or per month
- Air quality: ordinary, dry, filtered or oil-free
- Hoses, couplings or accessories needed
- Who will refuel and operate, or whether you want an operator
- Site contact and any safety or access rules
The more complete the brief, the faster the quote. If the figures are not known, give the tools and hose lengths and we will work them out; see site survey and hire or buy. Short and long hire both depend on scope: see scope and exclusions.
Field guide
The five-minute brief that gets the right rental machine
Most delays in hiring a compressor come from missing information. A short, complete brief lets us size the machine, quote correctly and dispatch the first time. Use the checklist below, even if some answers are "not sure".
The brief
| Question | Example answer |
|---|---|
| What will the air run? | Two jackhammers and a chipping hammer; or a 150 mm DTH hammer; or a factory line while our compressor is repaired |
| Pressure needed at the tool or process | 7 bar; or "the hammer maker says 17 bar" |
| Air demand | Tool data, nozzle sizes, or the size of the compressor being replaced |
| Air quality | Ordinary site air; dry air for painting; oil-free for a process |
| Site location and access | Town, distance from road, any height or weight limits |
| Power | Diesel needed, or electrical supply available (voltage and capacity) |
| Hose length and connection | 60 m to the blast pot; connect to our 2-inch header |
| Start date, duration and hours per day | From Monday, 3 weeks, two shifts |
| Who refuels and who operates | Our staff, or yours |
Typical rental situations and what we ask
- Compressor breakdown in a factory: make, model and pressure of the failed machine, the connection point, and whether a dryer must be included.
- Planned shutdown: date, duration and what must keep running during the shutdown.
- Borewell or DTH drilling: hole size, depth, hammer and expected water.
- Sandblasting: number and size of nozzles, hose length, and whether air must be dried. See sandblasting compressor hire.
- Construction: tools, how many work at once and how far they are from the compressor.
What happens next
- We confirm the machine size and accessories, and tell you if anything in the brief needs checking.
- You receive a rental proposal with rate, period, delivery and responsibilities.
- The machine is delivered, connected and started, and the handover is recorded.
- During the hire, service support is available; at the end, the machine is collected and checked.
What to send for a quotation
- The brief above, as complete as you can make it.
- Photos of the site access and connection point.
- Nameplate photo of the compressor being replaced, for breakdown hires.
