Welding Hire Has Technical Complexity That Generic Tool Hire Software Ignores
A welding set hire involves the machine, gas cylinder logistics, appropriate consumables for the job, and customer technical guidance on duty cycle and output settings. Generic tool hire software has no awareness of gas coordination, no duty cycle records, and no way to track consumables accurately — leaving welding hire depots losing margin on every gas and consumable transaction.
Welding Equipment Hire Built for the Technical Demands of the Trade
Duty Cycle and Output Records
Log machine duty cycle rating and recommended output settings per hire so customers are briefed correctly before use.
Gas Cylinder Coordination
Hire welding sets alongside the appropriate shielding gas cylinders — tracked as separate assets returned per hire.
Consumable Sales Tracking
Add wire, rods, tips, and nozzles to each hire agreement at point of booking — stock adjusts and revenue is tracked.
Trade Account Speed
Trade customers process a welder hire at the counter in under two minutes — account on file, consumables added, agreement signed.
For Welding Hire Depots Serving Industrial and Construction Customers
Torch and Cable Condition Logging
Inspect and log torch, lead, and earth clamp condition on return — worn consumables replaced before the next hire.
Calibration and Service Records
Log service intervals and output calibration checks per machine — essential for precision TIG welding applications.
Gas Safety Compliance
Store cylinder inspection records and regulator test dates per cylinder type — compliant with HSE gas safety requirements.
Fabricator and Contractor Accounts
Steel fabricators and construction firms get credit accounts with monthly consolidated invoices covering machines, gas, and consumables.

Welding Equipment Hire Software — Common Questions
Cylinders are configured as separate inventory items linked to the welder hire. Each cylinder has its own tracking record — dispatched with the machine and returned independently. Missing or damaged cylinders trigger replacement charges.
Yes — wire spools, electrode rods, contact tips, and nozzles are configured as consumable items. Staff add them to the hire at the counter, stock adjusts automatically, and consumable revenue is tracked separately from machine hire.
A return inspection checklist covers torch condition, lead integrity, and earth clamp function. Worn or damaged components are logged and replaced before the machine goes back into available inventory.
Trade customers have accounts on file. Staff select the welder, add gas and consumables, and the agreement is signed digitally at the counter — the full transaction takes under two minutes for a regular customer.
