Air Handling Units
Air handling unit hire supports temporary heating, cooling and air distribution for commercial and industrial sites. Cross Rental Services supplies standard AHUs, fan coil units (FCUs), low-temperature AHUs and DX packaged units for different temporary HVAC applications.
Compatible air handling units and fan coils can work with chillers, boilers or existing water circuits to form a temporary heating or cooling system. Low-temperature units support specialist cooling applications, while DX packaged equipment provides an alternative configuration. Equipment can be selected and configured to suit the heating or cooling duty, airflow, site connections and available space.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often. If yours is not here, get in touch and we will be happy to help.
Can an AHU be connected to a temporary chiller or boiler?
Yes. Compatible AHUs and fan coils can connect to temporary chillers, boilers or existing water circuits to provide heating or cooling through an air distribution system. The configuration depends on the unit, fluid temperatures, flow and available site connections.
What is the difference between an AHU and a fan coil unit?
Both can be used to distribute conditioned air, but their configuration and application differ by model. Fan coil units are often used for localised or zoned heating and cooling, while larger AHUs can support greater airflow duties. Product outputs and connection details help determine the appropriate unit for each application.
Do you hire low-temperature and DX air handling units?
Yes. The listed range includes low-temperature AHUs and DX packaged air handling units alongside standard AHUs and fan coils. Low-temperature AHUs suit applications requiring lower supply-air temperatures, while DX packaged units offer direct expansion cooling without a chilled-water circuit.
