Book your fire extinguisher - multi purpose hire online today. This 6kg dry powder unit tackles Class A, B, C and electrical fires at commercial events.

Event organisers face strict safety regulations when setting up temporary venues. Booking your fire extinguisher - multi purpose hire covers multiple hazard types in a single 6kg unit. This dry powder equipment tackles ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, gases, and live electrical faults. You gain immediate protection for marquees, exhibition halls, and outdoor festival sites.
Every commercial gathering requires specific safety provisions. This 3.00kg unit measures 340mm x 120mm x 120mm, making it compact enough to position discreetly near high-risk zones. Food stalls using catering equipment hire need immediate response options for cooking oil or propane gas flare-ups. Stages with heavy lighting rigs present distinct electrical risks. The dry powder agent knocks down flames rapidly, stopping small incidents before they escalate into major emergencies.
Organisers must address different hazard categories when planning site layouts. Class A risks involve solid materials like wood, paper, and textiles found around stage props or seating areas. Class B hazards include flammable liquids such as petrol and paint, often present near generator stations. Class C covers flammable gases, while electrical faults remain a constant threat near power distribution boards. Placing these multi-purpose units at strategic intervals helps you meet strict health and safety obligations.

Unless the two person carriage charge has been paid for, deliveries and collections are made by a single driver, who has 15 minutes to deliver or collect your order.
Our drivers are not allowed to take items up or down stairs or into lifts, and all deliveries need to be made within 50 metres of the vehicle. Any delays beyond the standard delivery time caused by access issues or items not being ready will be charged at £120 per hour or part thereof.
If a driver arrives and delivery or collection is impossible then unfortunately a wasted journey charge will apply. You will be sent a live tracking link so you can monitor your delivery in real time — our drivers do not make phone calls to notify of arrival times.
If access to collecting the hired equipment is denied, blocked, or impassable, a wasted collection journey will be automatically charged. Any parking tickets issued to vehicles whilst executing a delivery or collection will be charged for whilst we appeal.
