Machinery Moving Equipment Hire Sheffield

Machinery Moving Equipment Hire

When it comes to the engineering task of machinery moving it is important to choose and use the right equipment and tools for the job. 

Whilst small items of equipment, plant, and machinery may only need some basis items and tools, large bulky items and heavy pieces of factory machinery will need specialist equipment such as machinery moving skates, heavy duty lifting jacks, maybe one or more cranes, hi-ab units, and so on. 

Even just the job of loading and unloading machinery can dictate that specialist equipment is needed, especially when loading on and off transportation vehicles. 

Preplanning is essential when carrying out this type of work and in choosing the right type and quantity of equipment needed. In nearly all cases it is best to have an excess quantity of equipment to-hand in case the need arises whilst the job is underway. 

Machinery Removals 

Machine removals, the transportation, and relocation is a skilled aspect of this type of engineering work. To remain efficient and work in a safe and productive way requires the use of skilled staff, the right equipment, and the right transportation vehicles and cranes. 

With factory machinery sometimes not having any lifting points it is important that only skilled operatives and related staff carry out this type of work. By related staff we are referring to industrial electricians and mechanical fitter. 

Factory Relocations

A great number of businesses and companies in all parts of the UK including those in Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield from time to time undergo a factory relocation. This could be involving a single item of machinery, several machines, up to a production line or a complete factory relocation.

Where this is required multiple items of equipment and plant is usually required including the likes of fork lift trucks, versa-lifts, tele-handlers, lorries, as well as several sets of moving skates etc. 

Factory relocation projects require careful management and planning to ensure the job goes ahead on time, and in a cost effective and safe way.

Pipe Freezer Hire

Pipe Freezer Tool Hire

A pipe freezer is the ideal tool for helping you with repairs and modification to your domestic or commercial plumbing system.

One of these items of plumbing equipment allows you to freeze a section of (cold water) pipe work to allow you to isolate the system for carrying out repairs, modifications, and any other necessary work that is needed.

Need to change a radiator valve or fix a leaking pipe? Instead of draining-down the complete central heating system just hire a pipe freezer and save hours of labour time!

A pipe freezer is really easy to set-up and use, once the clamps have been fitted to the flow and return pipes it just needs plugging into a nearby mains socket and you can take it from there. In a short time "plugs" of frozen water will develop in the pipes allowing you to get to work on the job in-hand!

Depending on the size of the water pipes and the temperature of the water (as well as conductivity) the time it takes to pipe freeze can be in the range of 5 minutes up to 60 minutes as a guide line. For most domestic systems as long as the water in the central heating system is cold in practice the pipes are frozen in around 15 to 20 minutes.

Pipe Freezing Kit Hire

This item of plumbing equipment is one that can save hours of time when carrying out all types of plumbing work, from the job of changing a simple tap washer, plumbing in a washing machine or a dishwasher through to changing components and items in your central heating system.

This could be the removal and re-fitting of a new central heating system radiator, the water pump, or even the main boiler, using pipe freezer kit hire really does transform the way you do plumbing and can transform the way you have worked before. 

Who uses pipe freezing kits?  

A freezing kit is commonly used by two types of users, these being professional plumbers and also DIY users that are confident in carrying out domestic plumbing jobs around their homes. 

For anyone that is contemplating working on the central heating system or water supply and drainage pipework in a property, a pipe freezer kit is one of the most useful tool items to have available. 

They can be used in commercial properties as well as domestic properties including apartments, flats, houses, out-buildings, offices, factories, warehouses, garages, shops and shopping centres, supermarkets, and every type of building or property where there is water pipework inplace.

Frequently asked questions

Are there different types of pipe freezers? 

There are three (3) different types of pipe freezers that can be found throughout the UK. These are bottled gas operated pipe freezers that use liquid gas to freeze pipes, pipe freezers that are in the form of a disposable can of pipe freezing spray (as can be purchased from plumbers merchants and DIY shops such as B and Q, Wickes, and the likes of Screwfix and Toolstation) and also the electric pipe freezer kits that are provided by most specialist tool hire shops (as being described in this feature). 

What is pipe freeze? 

Pipe freeze refers to the process in which a small ice plug is formed within a section of piping. The frozen plug can withstand the water pressure long enough to allow a plumber or DIY user enough time to carry out a repair, perform essential maintenance, fit a new component, or the installation of a service valve or pipe cap. 

What is the best type of pipe freezer to hire?

Most specialist tool hire shops only hire the electric type of pipe freezer, this is because it is the most popular and versatile type that is used throughout the UK. It is also the easiest to use on both commercial as well as domestic properties. 

What voltage do electric pipe freezer kits operate on? 

Although 240v units are available it is common practice for most tool hire shops to supply units that run off a 110v electric supply. This is because a lot of "trade users" and businesses dictate these models over 240v powered ones.  

Either way it is not an issue as both can be used in all types of properties where needed, your tool hire shop will also provide a suitable transformer to step-down the voltage from 240v to 110v when required in domestic properties. 

** Tip:- ensure you obtain an extension lead if you intend to site the transformer a distance away where you need to use and site the pipe freezer kit. 

Is a freezing jacket needed when using one of these plumbing tools? 

No, a pipe freezing jacket is not required, the unit is supplied with clamps that attach on to each section of the pipe that needs isolating. The unit is efficient and powerful so no insulating jacket is needed. 

How long does the freeze last?  

After disconnection of the tool (or when it is turned off) the ice plug will start to melt, this usually takes around 10 to 30 minutes depending on the diameter size of the pipe and the length of the ice plug that has formed within it. To keep the plugs frozen simply leave the freezer connected and switched on. 

Can this equipment freeze moving water? 

No, whilst one of these products will usually freeze water that is just a drip or a light trickle it is designed to be used with water that is not flowing. In commercial and industrial applications moving water can be frozen to a certain degree but only by the use of liquid nitrogen that is handled and processed by specialist cryogenic freezing contractors.    

Can warm or hot water be frozen? 

Pipe freezer kit hire is aimed at DIY users and plumbers for the freezing of cold water. Warm water can be frozen but the time taken for the ice plug to form will be far longer than if it was cold. Hot water should be left to cool down to a temperature where the freezemaster unit can be used. 

Can old lead pipes be frozen? 

Yes, lead plumbing pipes can be frozen but it may take a little longer than modern copper pipes. 

Will the ice plugs stand up to mains water pressure? 

Yes, the freezemaster unit can cope with the water pressure that the mains water supply delivers water to the property. 

  

Can the equipment be used on microbore copper pipes?

Yes, just ensure that when you arrange the hire of a pipe freezer that you specify you need to use it on microbore pipes. In this plumbing application you will need the smallest size of clamps and will usually need to wrap tissue around the clamp area too. 

Can a pipe freezer be used whilst a central heating pump is running? 

No, the pump needs to be switched off so the water in the system is not flowing. 

Should I turn off the boiler when using a freezer? 

Yes, the water in the pipe(s) needs to be as cold as possible so the boiler needs to be switched off. 

Can I use a blowlamp or a heatgun near to where the ice plug has been formed?

No, any heat source in the area needs to be avoided unless you temporarily cap-off the pipe(s). If heat is applied near to the plugged area the ice plug will melt allowing free flowing of the water within the pipes.

Is there a way of insulating the water plug from defrosting? 

If you leave the electric pipe freezer connected and switched-on this won't be needed, if you have removed the clamps then you can insulate the plugged area by wrapping dry towels around the frozen pipe, this will slow down the thawing action.

Can this equipment be used if the pipes are situated close to a wall? 

Yes, if tissue paper is wrapped around the pipe(s) and saturated with water the clamps can be freeze-welded to the pipe on the front side allowing the machine to do its work. 


How long does the pipe stay frozen? 

The pipe will stay frozen all the time that the machine is connected and switched-on.

As long as the electric power supply is not turned-off the section of pipe chosen will remain frozen.

This allows you or your plumbing contractor the required time to carry out a repair, remove a fitting or appliance, nip to the van or down to the local plumbers merchant for a fitting or some spare parts, maybe match up a new trv valve or gate valve, then return back to the property or job site to finish the job with no drain down of the system needed.

Can the pipe be quickly defrosted when the necessary work is completed?

Yes, it can be quickly defrosted by using just a little warmth. Some plumbers and heating contractors use an old hair dryer on a low heat setting, or by directing some gentle heat from a blowlamp or a soldering torch.

Can the equipment be used on deformed pipes?

In most cases one of these items of plumbing equipment can be used on pipes that are misshaped or deformed, providing they are not extreme. The nearest size of clamps should be used with or without reducers and then the void packed with wet tissue paper. This will allow the pipe freezing process to take place.

Where to obtain mag drill hire from in Sheffield

Mag Drill Hire Sheffield

If you need to obtain the temporary hire of a mag drill in Sheffield we can help you by steering you in the right direction to a local tool hire shop that provides the hire of these types of engineering tools.

You can hire a mag drill in Sheffield from Turner Hire

Telephone: 0114 2581682

One of these electric operated drills is used in several industries including those involved with steel fabrication, steel component assembly and steel erection, and in tasks associated with engineering maintenance and engineering repair work. 

A mag drill is basically an electric power tool that comprises of an electric metal drilling pillar drill that is mounted on a heavy duty and strong electromagnetic base assembly. 

The magnetic base allows the mag drill to be attached to steel components that requires one or more holes drilling through them. By holding the drill using magnetism to the steel it allows holes of varing sizes to be drilled in a really accurate way.

Mag Drills can be commonly seen in the workplace being used by steel erectors, engineers, mechanical fitters, and staff including metal fabricators drilling into steel rsj's, steel box sections, thick steel bars, pipes, beams, and other metal components. 

A portable mag drill is also used in the UK automotive industries for drilling holes in vehicle and trailer chassis sections, especially by companies that manufacture custom trailer units, horse boxes, catering trailers, and commercial vehicles. 

Mag Drills provide a solution to drilling steel on the work site

If you can't take the steel work to the fabrication shop - take the drill to the site instead! 

One of the main advantages in using a portable mag drill is the ability to take it to the work site for onsite drilling when the need arises. If the steel item that need drilling cannot be moved the only option is to drill it whilst it is in situ. The hire and use of a mag drill allows you to do this. 

Cutters used in magnetic drills

 

Mag drills can commonly use several types of cutters and drill bits depending on their design and whether fitted with a traditional chuck or spindle arbor. For the drilling of "traditional" holes in steel a mag drill with a conventional chuck can use standard hss or cobalt drill bits, alike to being used in a pistol type electric drill. 

For large diameter holes the mag drill may be one that uses "morse taper" bits. Most mag drills however use cutters that are called "annular cutters" - these are cutters that are also sometimes referred to as being core bits.

An annular cutter is a hollow type of drill bit that cuts metal by way of an annular groove at the periphery of the hole, leaving a solid core (or slug) of metal that is ejected from the bit afterwards.

This type of cutter drills holes faster, easier, and in a more accurate way than conventional twist drill bits. 

Annular mag drill cutters work in the same way as concrete drilling core bits, but of course are used for metal drilling. These types of cutters are usually manufactured from either high speed steel or feature a high speed steel body manufactured with strong tungsten carbide tips.  

Another point worthy of a mention is that these mag drill cutters are designed to be used at a far lower drilling speed than a traditional twist drilling bit, hence the reason why mag drills rotate at a lower rpm than a portable pistol type drilling tool.

Weldon shank type cutters are the most popular type of drill cutters that are used in a mag drill. This type of annular cutter has two shanks (flats) on the bit on which grub screws tighten up on to fasten securely into a mag drills spindle.

Choosing the right mag drill

It is important to choose a mag drill that suits your needs when it comes to you hiring one of these power tools, the same applies if alternatively you are looking to buy a mag drill. 

For purely drilling holes there are two main considerations; being the diameter size of the holes that you wish to drill as well as the budget that you are prepared to spend. Most mag drills that you can obtain from a tool hire shop will usually handle boring a hole size in metal of up to around 30 / 32mm in diameter.

A few tool hire shops that specialise in a range of engineering related tools should also be able to supply mag drills that can cope with much larger sizes, usually in the range of around 75mm to 100mm capacity. 

It therefore makes a lot of sense when searching for mag drill hire sheffield to know exactly what size diameter holes you will be drilling, in order to obtain the right tool for the job. 

Electrical supply needed

With most portable magnetic drilling tools being used on construction and fabrication sites it is no surprise to see that the majority of units hired and used in Sheffield are of the 110v type. Although 240v models are available 99.9% of mag drills used in Sheffield as well as throughout the rest of the UK are 110 volt. 

Because of this a mains transformer is needed to provide the electric supply whilst being used on-site. A suitable transformer would be one that is usually around a rating of 3.0kva or 3.3kva such as those distributed in the UK by Birchwood Price Tool Sales and carrying the brand name of "Defender". 

If using one of these tools on a site that has no power supply you could also use a suitable portable generator along the likes of a medium sized one from brands like "Harringtons" "Honda" "Pramac" or "Stephill". 

A suitable extension cable / lead will also be required when using a transformer to power a mag drill, with most fabrication and construction workers favouring a 14m loose extension lead.

Need one delivering to site or your workshop in Sheffield, or possibly in nearby Chesterfield, Dronfield, Dinnington or Rotherham? Your local tool hire company can help you with that as well!

Prefer to buy a magnetic drilling machine?

Not every user wishes to hire mag drills, some opt to buy a mag drill as opposed to renting one. This could be because you use them on a regular basis and it is more cost effective over the long run for your own circumstances, or it could be because you just prefer to buy tools rather than hire them.

Is this you? If it is then you can buy a mag drill in Sheffield (as well as all other areas and locations in the UK) from this independent distributor and stockist or alternatively from an online mag drill supplier.

In the UK a large range of portable magnetic drilling machines can be bought including the ones carrying the brand names of Alfra UK, Fein, Jancy, JEI, Powerbor, Rotabroach, and Unibor.
