Why do some companies keep mobile welding fume extraction units on hire for years?

It’s more common than you think.

What starts as a short-term rental often becomes a long-term solution. Here's why:

- Renting is quicker and easier than approving a capital purchase
- Units can be moved between locations as projects and layouts change
- Hassle-free maintenance because the supplier handles servicing and filters
- If production changes, just return the unit

Another bonus of renting, is that you actually get to see what works before committing to a permanent system.

Have you ever extended a hire because it was just too useful to give back?

Good fume extraction doesn’t have to be complicated.

Like many things, simple is often better.

The Plymovent UK PHV is a great example of how portable extraction can deliver effective fume control without getting in the way.

Easy to move and quick to set up, it's ideal for:

- Confined areas
- Smaller workshops
- Temporary or changing workspaces
- Locations where fixed extraction isn’t practical

In a busy welding environment, having that flexibility means fume extraction can go wherever the work goes.

Keep it simple. Put extraction where it’s needed. Get on with the job.

Getting your welding gear into position is sometimes half the battle.

What’s the most awkward, unusual, or completely impractical place you’ve ever had to get welding equipment into? 😂

We’ll start with this one… 👀👇

Tell us your best “how did we even get that in there?” story?

You need a welding machine for a specific job.
But the job only lasts three weeks 🤔

What makes more sense?

💸 Buy one?
You’ve got the cost.
You’ve got the storage.
You’ve got the maintenance.
And you’ve got a machine to look after once the job is finished.

📦 Hire one?
You get the machine delivered.
You get flexible hire to suit your job.
You get expert support when you need it.
And when you’re finished, we’ll pick it up 👍

Three weeks. One job. Then it’s back to us.

Sometimes hiring just makes sense 😉

Our welding equipment is used for all sorts of work, from large-scale industrial projects to smaller jobs for tradespeople and individuals.

Here’s our van at Southampton Docks, alongside some very impressive wind turbine blades. It’s a good example of the industries we work with and the equipment we supply to support the work being carried out.

But it’s not just about supplying the machine. From choosing the right equipment and getting it to site, through to ongoing support as the project evolves, we’re there from start to finish.

What makes a good welder?

It’s more than technical ability.

The best welders bring a combination of:

🔹 Focus
🔹 Resilience
🔹 Attention to detail
🔹 Adaptability
🔹 Pride in their work
🔹 Discipline
🔹 Teamwork

Technical skills can be tested and taught, but character and attitude are harder to measure.

And these qualities can have a huge impact on the quality, safety and consistency of the work.

So, what characteristics do you think make a really good welder?

Preheating on site can take a bit of management.

You need to bring the material up to the required temperature and maintain consistent heat across the area you’re going to weld.

For many applications, that’s essential, but it can also add time and complexity to the job.

The Miller Welders ArcReach® Induction Heater package offers a straightforward way to handle preheating.

Connected directly to a compatible on-site welding power source, it uses induction to heat the material quickly and evenly, without the need for a separate heating setup.

The system can also be used with the power source positioned up to 60m away from the work area, giving you more flexibility when setting up on site.

There’s no open flame or gas involved, and the system can be adapted to suit different pipe sizes and plate lengths.

When there’s a lot of preheating to get through, having a method that’s quick to set up, safe to operate and easy to manage can simplify the process.

Available for hire from RentArc.

After many years in welding hire, we’ve seen both sides of the job…

Helping projects run smoothly from day one, and stepping in when things haven’t quite gone to plan.

The same things come up every time:

- Most breakdowns are preventable (if maintenance is taken seriously)
- On site, speed matters more than price - delays cost far more than savings
- The 'cheapest' machine usually isn’t the cheapest option
- The right machine keeps everything moving, and that’s where the real value is
- Strong relationships will always get things sorted faster

It’s easy to think this industry is just about supplying equipment.

It’s not.

For us, it’s about partnerships, keeping projects moving, and making sure teams can get on with the job without interruption.

Whether you’re planning a project or need support quickly, feel free to get in touch.

When the same equipment keeps going back out on hire, there's usually a reason.

The Kemppi UK MasterTig 335 is a popular piece of kit in our hire fleet, and the feedback from customers has been pretty consistent.

It's straightforward to use. Weld Assist gives you a great starting point, and once you've selected your settings you can save them for the next job instead of starting from scratch.

If you're TIG welding pipe, or carrying out repetitive welds, being able to recall those settings quickly saves time and helps keep everything consistent.

Another feature customers often mention is the Bluetooth wireless foot pedal. It might seem like a small thing, but having one less lead around your feet makes life that bit easier.

The Kemppi MasterTig 335 is available for both short and long term hire from the Rentarc fleet.

Got an upcoming TIG welding project? Get in touch with the team – we're happy to help you find the right equipment.
