Road Cleaning in Sheffield

Street Cleaning Services in Sheffield 

Sheffield is a busy City in South Yorkshire that requires regular cleaning of its roads and streets. This is a task that is carried out by the local council along with its appointed sub contractors where necessary.

The roads are cleaned using different methods and also items of equipment, depending on the scope of works and where the actual street cleaning is needed.

Small areas may be cleaned by manual workers using just brooms and handtools, larger areas and highways will usually be cleaned by specialist road sweeper trucks and compact precinct type sweepers.

This is especially the case in Autumn months when the many trees start to drop their leafs, in what is commonly known as the leafing season. In Autumn the thousands of roads in Sheffield can become a hazard and also unsightly if the leaves are not swept and sucked up, and this is just one job that a road sweeper vehicle can handle.

A road sweeping truck can carry out road cleaning by spraying large volumes of water onto the highways surface, this is then scrubbed by the sweeper trucks several brushes in readiness for sucking up afterwards.

A powerful vacuum suction box fitted to the road sweeper truck sucks up the dirty water and any solid waste items, depositing it in the trucks hopper unit for later disposal of.

Often certain roads can be soiled heavily after ground works has taken place such as when utility companies dig the road up to carry out essential repairs and maintenance. This includes the water mains, gas supply pipes, and electrical service cables.

If the roads are very dirty and soiled one option is to jet wash the particular area, another would be to use a Beam Sweeper. This is a specialist vehicle that uses high pressure jets of water to blast the roads surface removing stubborn dirt and grime.

The beam sweeper is a specialist vehicle that is usually obtained as and when from companies that provide the rental of gully tankers and road sweepers.

Cleaning Spillages Up 

Spillages can occur on the streets in Sheffield because of several reasons, it could be because of a delivery lorry that has shed some of its load, because a car, van or lorry has suffered a leak, or because of a road traffic accident.

When this happens the local authorities and their contracts come into play cleaning up the spillage with all the resources that they have available including sand, oil spillage kits, street cleaners, and road sweeping vehicles.

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. 

Pipe Freezing Clamps on a Pipe Freezer Kit

  

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.

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.

Portable Welder Hire in Sheffield

Hire a Portable Welder in Sheffield

A portable welder is an item of welding equipment that is designed for and capable of joining metals such as brass, aluminium, steel, stainless steel and similar metals etc.

Popular areas of industry where a welder is often used is in the industrial sectors around building and construction work, engineering and metal fabrication, general metal component manufacturing and assembly work, machinery maintenance and repairs, aerospace, the construction, assembly, and manufacturing of pipelines and pressure vessels, and in shipbuilding. 
   

Electric powered welding equipment 

There are a wide range of different types of electric welding equipment that you can hire, these are chosen to suit the type of welding work that is needed as well as the site environment. Types of electric welders that are freely available to hire include arc, mig, tig, and mma welders to name a few.

Mig welders   

An electric mig welder can really make those difficult metal repair jobs that much easier. They are regularly used by engineering staff and vehicle mechanics whether being put to use in a workshop, in a garage, in a factory environment, or on the farm.

An electric powered mig welder works by using an arc of electricity to create a short-circuit between the metal that is being welded and a continuously fed length of welding wire. The heat that is produced by the short-circuit melts the metal allowing them to mix together, once the heat source is removed the result is a new piece of fused metal.

The use of gas when mig welding

When welding with a mig welder you need to shield the "weld pool" with a gas, the "weld pool" needs to be protected from oxygen - hence the need to replace this air with gas!

With a mig welder you have 2 options when it comes to this task; one option is to use a "gas" mig welder with an appropriate bottle of welding gas, the second option is to use what is commonly referred to as a "gasless" mig welder. These "shield" the weld pool in a different way, a gasless mig welder uses a spool of welding wire that incorporates a flux core, as you use the welder and carry out the welding process the arc melts the wire and at the same time burns the flux core within, this produces a gas shield around the welding process and on the area of the metal item that is being welded.  

Arc welding

Arc welding is also commonly referred to as stick welding, it is one of the oldest forms of electric welding as far as the history of welding goes! An electric arc welder uses a welding rod (the stick) that is coated with flux, when the arc is struck between the work piece and the welding rod the rod and flux melt, the flux creates a gas shield around the weld-pool preventing oxidisation occurring, and the two metals are then joined by the filler rod.

The "arc" that is created with a portable welder of this type is quite fierce and is more suited for thicker gauge steels. Arc welding is commonly used in commercial applications such as the repairing of agricultural machinery, heavy steel engineering and fabrication, and the assembly of steel structures and items such as heavy duty metal fencing and entrance gates.

Tig welding

Tig welding is another form of welding that uses an arc. This type of welding is one that can produce a very high quality weld compared to other methods.

The process of tig welding is one that requires the welder to use both hands, one hand is used for holding the tig welders torch (this produces the arc), the other hand is used to hold the filler rod to add the filler metal to the weld joint. Because two hands are needed to carry out this welding process it can be very time consuming, but at the same time it is a very versatile way of welding. It can be used to weld a wide choice of different metals.

An electric powered tig welder is commonly used for the welding onsite (and also in the fabrication shop) of critical weld joints, welding metal other than just mild steel. It is also a great way of welding where precise and small welds are needed.

Pallet Truck Hire Sheffield

Hire a Pallet Truck in Sheffield

A pallet truck is an item of lifting equipment that is designed for the lifting and moving of pallets. 

It can be classed as one of the most basic forms of a "fork lift" and is predominantly used for the moving of heavy or lightweight pallets within a warehouse or storeroom type environment.   

A pallet truck allows you to effectively lift and move pallets without having to go to the expense of buying or renting a fork lift truck too.  


Hire a Pallet Truck in Sheffield

Contact: Tedbar Tinker Hire - Tel: (0114) 2444238

About pallet trucks:

A pallet truck is a manually operated item of lifting equipment. 

A pallet truck is made up of several key components including the lifting jack (often referred to as a pump), the steerable wheels, the fork assembly, front fork rollers, and several other components including the pump handle. It is completely controlled and powered by the user. Pallets can be raised off the ground ready for moving by simply pumping the handle of the pallet truck up-and-down, just as with a car jack or hydraulic bottle jack. 

Once the pallet is lifted off the ground, the truck can be maneouvered to wherever in your warehouse or storeroom it is needed to be transported too.  

Pallet trucks come in a wide range of different sizes, configurations, and lifting capacities. 1.5t and 2t are really common specifications when it comes to choosing to buy or hire a pallet truck. 

Choosing a good pallet truck:

A good pallet truck can be identified by having several key features.

Amongst these are:-

* The hydraulic pump should be of a good quality, with a slow lowering control on the main handle.

* The front rollers should be of a strong construction, and be large enough to spread the weight load.

* Grease points on the pallet truck will make general maintenance easier, allowing fast servicing when required. Some cheap priced units have no grease points at all, because of their budget construction.

* A good paint finish with a high quality tough paint coating. A quality paint finish will keep the elements at bay when using a pallet truck indoors as well as outside, protecting your investment and hopefully extending the service life of any pallet truck.

Pallet truck rental:

The temporary rental of a manually operated pallet truck is cost effective for those one off jobs when you need to move a pallet of goods or components in your warehouse or storeroom. Pallet truck hire is also a good idea if your own pallet truck is broken or in the workshop awaiting a service.

Having a pallet truck "on call" can keep your warehouse operations moving, keeping productivity going as usual.

To obtain the hire of a pallet truck just contact your local lifting products supplier. Usually as well as this type of equipment you will find a large range of other lifting products is available - including products such as chain blocks, d shackles, hoists, lifting gantry units, web slings, genie material lifts, tirfor machines, and much more.
