Six Reasons To Use GenAir
1. Specialists in Compressed Air – Nothing Else
At GenAir, we do one thing, and we do it exceptionally well: compressed air rental solutions. Unlike generalist plant hire companies, compressors are not just a product line for us—they’re our sole focus. This is our differentiator and makes us one of the only dedicated compressor rental specialists in the UK.
2. Expert People, Exceptional Service
Every GenAir driver is also a trained compressor technician. This means your delivery is more than just drop-off—it’s installation, commissioning, and expert advice from the moment we arrive. No need to co-ordinate multiple teams or wait for backup. We bring the knowledge straight to your site.
3. Rapid Response When You Need It Most
We understand how costly downtime can be. That’s why we commit to breakdown response within 4 hours and offer same-day delivery for emergencies. With depots in the West Midlands, Slough, and Motherwell, our nationwide coverage ensures you get what you need, fast.
4. The Largest Compressor Rental Fleet, for Every Application
With over 1000 compressors, GenAir operates the UK’s largest dedicated compressor & dryer rental fleet. We support virtually every industrial sector—from aerospace and oil & gas to rail, highways, manufacturing, and water utilities. Whatever the application, we have the right air solution.
5. Diesel, Electric and Hybrid Compressors – All Ready for Hire
Our hire fleet includes both diesel and electric rental compressors, ranging from 120 to 1600 cfm and pressures up to 155 bar. All electric units are weatherised and built for tough rental conditions. We also offer oil-flooded and oil-free rental solutions, plus a unique hybrid Oil-Free hire compressor that can switch seamlessly between diesel and mains power—ideal for emergency situations and remote sites.
6. Sustainable & Environmentally Friendly Rental Solutions
All of our diesel compressors can be run on HVO fuel, however we also have the largest hire fleet & range of electric rental compressors which if you can run off the mains power (or another sustainable energy source) offer significant reductions in carbon and diesel costs.
