Ventilation

Temporary industrial ventilation and high-capacity fan hire provide critical air movement, extraction and climate control to maintain safe, compliant work environments. Suitable for sites looking to improve airflow, extract stale air and manage heat, fumes and odours in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. At Cross Rental Services we deliver high-capacity radial fans, air movers and extraction equipment for factories, warehouses, workshops, construction sites and commercial buildings, across the UK.

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.

What is industrial ventilation hire used for?

Industrial ventilation hire provides high-capacity air movement and extraction in commercial and industrial environments, keeping your site safe, compliant and running smoothly. Common uses include improving airflow in warehouses and factories, clearing dust and fumes on construction sites, cooling hot warehouses and marquees, extracting stale air or fumes, supporting construction drying after concrete or screed pours and providing additional ventilation.

How do we choose the right equipment for our site? 

It comes down to two main things: the size of your space and what you are trying to achieve. Our team of specialised engineers discuss your project, whether your dealing with every day dust or specialised hazards to recommend the exact solution to suit your situation. We assess your facility or sites layout, required Air Changes per Hour (ACH), static pressure requirements, and electrical constraints—supplying equipment in 110V site power, 240V mains, or 415V three-phase configurations.

With strategic depots nationwide, we offer flexible short-term and contract hire packages with 24/7 technical backup.

Can this equipment be used during planned facility maintenance or refurbishments?

Yes. If your main ventilation system needs to be shut down for inspections, repairs, or upgrades, our temporary systems step in to mirror its performance. This ensures your staff and contractors can keep working safely, preventing costly project delays or facility closures.

Do you hire systems that can handle fumes, heavy dust and odours?

Yes. We provide heavy-duty extraction units designed to capture dust, welding fumes, and chemical odours right at the source, helping you meet health and safety regulations. If you operate in a high-risk environment (like a chemical plant or fuel storage zone), we also supply specialised, spark-proof ATEX and EX-rated equipment designed especially for explosive atmospheres.

What site information is needed before we hire?

Useful information includes the dimensions and layout of the space, the intended application, available electrical supply and any access restrictions. For extraction applications, details of the air being removed and suitable discharge locations are also important. This helps establish the equipment type, airflow capacity and any additional installation considerations.
