Air Compressor Rental and Hire
An industrial air compressor is often integral to your operations, but you do not need to own it.
Air compressor hire is a flexible, cost-effective, and practical way to get your compressed air and associated equipment.
Why air compressor hire may be best
There are many reasons why hiring might be the best option for your business.
Flexibility
Hiring your air compressor gives you flexibility. We can provide short- and long-term agreements, so whether you want a compressor for a specific project, require mobile air for a temporary site, or seasonal demand or prefer a long-term lease to ownership, we have you covered.
Maintenance
Although the compressor is on your site, we take care of it. Your hire fee will include the servicing and maintenance it needs. And if it needs repair or replacement, that is included, too. It is a hassle-free way to get the benefits of compressed air.
Budgeting
Hiring means you do not have to fund the initial capital cost. Instead, you have the security of a fixed, monthly fee for your compressor. It makes your budgeting predictable and easy, freeing your capital for investment elsewhere.
What can you hire?
We can provide rotary screw air compressors for the majority of installations. Our fleet includes options for electric rental units as well as diesel-driven portable air compressors suitable for outdoor use. Plus, we can be flexible with hire periods. From a couple of days to open long-term contracts, we cater to your needs. You may not be able to predict what will happen in one, five, or ten years, but you can be confident that our hire service will give you the flexibility to adapt.

Air Compressor Hire Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I hire an air compressor rental near me?
Search Air has provided compressors in Yorkshire and the East Midlands since the 1950s. We have grown and opened new depots, so your compressor and the team who will support it are close by.
How much is an air compressor to hire?
Air compressor rental prices will vary depending on the type of compressor you are hiring (e.g., standard vs. oil-free) and the duration of the hire period. However, it is a cost-effective way to meet your compressed air needs and gives you budgeting certainty.
What happens if I have a problem?
We take care of it. It is as simple as that. When you hire from us, we provide the servicing and maintenance you need to ensure consistent and reliable compressed air.
What size air compressor do I need for air tools?
Selecting the right size depends on the specific tools you are using. A common question is, “Is a 20 gallon air compressor big enough for air tools?” For light tasks, this may suffice, but for continuous industrial use, you will likely need a larger rotary screw compressor. Our team can help calculate the exact CFM requirements for your equipment to ensure you have consistent power.
What is the difference between an air compressor and an air inflator?
While an inflator is generally for tires and sports equipment, an air compressor is designed to power pneumatic tools and machinery. Our air compressor rental fleet focuses on high-capacity units designed for construction, manufacturing, and industrial applications rather than simple inflation tasks.
