Environmental Advantages:

Reduced Wastage:

By using our hotbox’s, you have the ability to reduce wastage by keeping material in a usable state for longer. This allows the same batch of material to be used for multiple jobs. Thus, less material disposed of as it cools below a workable state over conventional carrying methods.

One of our key sustainability targets is to reduce our carbon footprint through waste reduction within our own works and that of others.

Carbon Footprint reduction through methodology:

Our box’s are heated using the latest in burner technology. We have both Diesel and Gas burner units. The units are configured to the optimum diesel/air mixture and gas equivalent. A gas fired unit for example will use 0.2kg of gas per hour when in full burn.

All boxes are thermostatically controlled. This allows the units to switch onto pilot mode when the required internal temperature is achieved. The smart controller will then reactivate the burner when there is a drop of 5oC in temperature. This keeps an efficient heating cycle using less fuel of either source.

Our efficient heating systems in conjunction with reduced wastage aids the reduction in the users carbon footprint.

Flexible Hire Options

We understand every project is different. That’s why we offer:

Short-term hire for emergency repairs or short-duration works.

Long-term hire for ongoing maintenance or extended projects.

Custom arrangements tailored to your schedule, location, and material needs.
