Podium Step Hire in Leeds

The Podium Step is a relatively new piece of non-powered access equipment that allows you to work safe at low level heights.

It is a proven statistic that a large number of accidents happen in the workplace when inspection, maintenance, and repair work is undertaken whilst personnel are working off a step ladder or extension ladder.

In years gone by it was common practice for builders, joiners, electricians, engineers, and other tradesman to work off a ladder. The design and introduction of the podium step to the tool hire market has now provided a safer alternative.

If you are looking around at low level non powered items of access equipment you will find there are several styles of podium steps available to hire, depending on the company you hire from as well as slight variations in brands that are freely available.

What they all have in common though is built in hand and guard rails, several platforms heights, and the ability to be easily moved / transported from one work area to another.

The City of Leeds in West Yorkshire is home to many businesses and companies that have a need for podium step hire. The same goes for educational establishments including colleges, schools, and universities. All of these sites require the use of non-powered access equipment at one time or another to carry our various types of maintenance or project work.

Pipe Pressing Tool Hire

Pipe Press Tool Hire for Heating and Plumbing applications 

The Rems Akku-Press Cordless Pipe Pressing Tool is a valuable piece of equipment to have in your tool kit.

Powered off a Li-Ion rechargeable battery pack this Rems tool allows fast repeat jointing to be made with a wide variety of pipe fittings including the popular Yorkshire Fittings (by Pegler) and Geberit Mapress Fittings. In addition to the tool you will need the correct tong to undertake connection joints on your heating or plumbing pipe fittings. 

As you would expect with Rems a comprehensive range are available to suit most pipe fittings for copper, steel, as well as various types of plastic piping.

In the UK there are countless numbers of press fittings on the market for press jointing of both gas and water pipes. These are for copper, steel, as well as several plastic types of piping.

What about traceability?

The REMS pressing tongs / pressing rings with a pressing contour M, V, SA, B, RN and UP, have worked a specific marking into the pressing contour which leaves a lasting impression on the pressed fitting after the pressing  process has been completed. This enables the user to check again whether the most suitable pressing tongs or the suitable pressing ring have been used to make the pressfit connection (even after the pressing process). With this traceability REMS fulfils the recommendations of the European standard EN 1775:2007 for the installation of press fitting systems for gas.

Buy or hire one of these tools?

If you are a full time gas or plumbing engineer you may choose to buy one of these pipe pressing tools, if you only need one on an occasional basis though it may be more cost effective to hire one instead.

This cordless pressing tool can usually be hired from a tool hire shop that supplies engineering and plumbing equipment as well as construction equipment. It is not a tool that can be found in a tool hire shop that focusses on products for DIY'ers. It is classed as a specialist and unique tool that is designed for the trade user that recognises the time saving benefit it offers over traditional compression and the various soldering methods of completing pipe fitting joints.

Marquee Furniture Hire in York

Hire Furniture for Marquee Events in York

If you have booked a marquee for your event, party, or wedding in York, do you now need to hire some suitable furniture?

If so you will not be disappointed with what is available when it comes to the choice of furniture hire for use in a marquee.

If the event is a private celebration party such as an anniversary celebration or wedding then we recommend you take a close look at the popular limewash banquet chairs.

This item of seating really looks great in a marquee with its soft colours and natural light wood finish. When fitted with a cream or ivory coloured seat pad this style of chair can really make a marquee event seem special.

York has some great venues where a marquee can be sited including some of its historic houses and halls, its luxury hotels, and of course in private gardens.

Marquees come in all different sizes from small through to large depending on your function or party size and also the space available at your chosen venue.

When choosing York marquee hire you will need to take into account not only the size of your chosen marquee to fit in with available outdoor space at your York venue, but also to suit the number of people and equipment within.

If possible choose a marquee that is slightly larger than your actual needs, this way you will be able to have a few more options as to where to site the chairs and tables that you will be using for catering and dinning purposes.

What you don't want is for the tables and chairs to be squashed together inside the marquee. Not only will this be unsightly it will also be uncomfortable for your guests.

Everyone needs to feel comfortable and this can be helped by choosing the right size of marquee, the prior planning of where equipment and furniture is to go, and awareness of entrances and exit points.

Should you choose round or rectangular tables?

This is down to the internal layout of the marquee as well as your catering or dinning plans.

If the event is quite formal then (such as for a wedding or private celebration party) round tables are more appropriate, especially when the tables are dressed with light coloured table cloths and linen. Think of cream or white coloured table cloths matched with the previously mentioned limewash chairs and you should get an idea of what we mean!

For informal and corporate events rectangular trestle style tables will probably be used with the 6' x 2' 6" size being the item of choice.

For club meetings and gatherings you can have plain wooden topped tables or again have them covered with table linen - it all depends on what the individual York event that you are hosting is!

Which types of chairs should be chosen?

We have already mentioned the limewash style banquet chair. This forms the backbone of seating when it comes to special occasions such as weddings, engagement parties, and similar events that are hosted in a marquee.

When choosing suitable chair hire for marquee use there is normally several deciding factors. (1) Suitability as regards appearance and comfortable seating. This dictates a chair which is upholstered or has an upholstered seat pad at the very least. (2) Practicality as regards usage.

Agricultural and country shows may require a quantity of chairs which are easy to wipe clean after use, such as a basic folding type of seat or patio type plastic chair. (3) Budget available to hire the chairs.

Depending on your available budget this could determine what type of marquee furniture you choose to hire. Basic folding seats will be cheaper to hire than wooden banqueting chairs for example.
