Frequently Asked Compressor Hire Questions
What size air compressor do I need for my project?
Choosing an air compressor will depend on the tools that you need to operate, and the amount of compressed air that they need. Smaller compressors are suitable for lighter-duty applications, while larger machines are better suited to demanding pneumatic tools and continuous use.
You should always check the required airflow of the tool, as well as the pressure, and how many tools you need to run at the same time.
What does CFM mean on an air compressor?
CFM stands for cubic feet per minute, and is used to measure the volume of air an air compressor can deliver. The compressor that you choose should provide enough CFM for the tool, or tools that you are going to use.
What air compressor do I need to run pneumatic tools?
It will depend on the tools that you are using and the airflow requirements. Heavy duty equipment needs significantly more airflow than smaller pneumatic tools. The best way to know which air compressor you need for your pneumatic tool is to look at the manufacturer's requirements and find out what the CFM needed is.
What is the difference between petrol, diesel and electric air compressors?
Petrol and diesel compressors are powered by internal combustion engines. This means that they are useful when electricity is not available or when it's needed to operate outside away from an electrical supply.
Electric compressors need a steady electric supply and therefore are more suitable when this is available.
Can I hire a compressor for breakers and demolition tools?
Yes. As long as the compressor has the right airflow and pressure for the particular tool that you're going to be using, then you can hire a compressor for breakers and demolition tools.
Can one compressor power more than one air tool?
Potentially. Whether one compressor can power more than one air tool heavily depends on the available airflow of the compressor and the combined requirements of the tools you want to use. Talk to us here at Wildes about your requirements, how many tools you need to operate and what they are so that we can help advise.
