Our Compressed Air Hire Fleet Expands Again With Two New Models

This 25 barg (262 psi) compressor fills a gap in our range of electric drive compressors with the first high pressure offering.  There has long been strong demand from industrial customers of for electric drive air compressors, they’re able to take advantage of the more efficient running costs because they have 3 phase power on site.

Increasingly we are seeing demand for electric drive compressors from construction customers who don’t have mains power on site but do have a single large generator providing power to the site reducing the number diesel engines in use. This reduces their emissions and is also more efficient – even the most advanced diesel engines are only around 55% efficient, losing almost half of the consumed energy to heat. An electric motor can be 90%+ efficient.
