Industrial Vacuum Cleaner Hire

Here at Cleanhire, we give you the option to hire our range of industrial vacuum cleaners which include mobile systems provided as an electrical single or three phase motors, or compressed-air powered allowing safe usage in explosive atmospheres, or where hazardous materials are being used.

The reason behind this is that this sort of product is mainly used in big industrial warehouses where hazardous materials can be a problem for the floor cleaning machines. These are very powerful machines and are able to hoover big surfaces without a problem.

Our ranges of industrial vacuum cleaners for hire include both lightweight and heavy duty machines as well as cordless and bagless features.

Industrial Hoovers We Hire

Nilfisk S2B Single Phase Industrial Vaccum Cleaner

Built for everyday workshop use. Two independent motors deliver 5400 litres per minute airflow, handling wet or dry spillages without hassle. It has a large filter area, which means you don’t have to stop constantly to clean it, and noise levels remain low enough for occupied spaces. A common choice in engineering where you need something reliable that just gets on with the job.

Nilfisk CFM 137 Industrial Vacuum

Compact industrial vacuum that punches above its weight. The suction power is comparable to much larger machines, but the footprint fits into tight spaces easily. Multi-stage filtration system works efficiently, sound suppressor keeps it quiet. It comes in 60 or 100 litre tank capacities. Handles solids and liquids across food processing, metalworking, and ceramics. Anywhere space is tight, but the work still needs doing properly.

Nilfisk CFM 3508W Heavy-Duty Vacuum Cleaner

Three-phase industrial vacuum that’s built to last. Strong suction, 100-litre capacity, and you can fit HEPA or ULPA filters if compliance standards require it. Collects oil, emulsions, swarf, heavy solids, and fine dust. Works well for industrial maintenance and plant operations where material recovery matters and durability counts.

Nilfisk CFM 3707/10 Three Phrase Vacuum Cleaner

 High-capacity vacuum with serious filtering capability. You’re looking at 45,000 cm² filter area, 3600 daPa depression, 8100 litres per minute airflow. The 175-litre container saves time on emptying. Moves around easier than you’d expect for something this size. Suits large sites where continuous operation is normal and smaller machines would slow things down.

Nilfisk 3907/18 Industrial Vacuum

 This one’s built for non-stop use in tough conditions. Delivers 5200 daPa suction, 8100 litres per minute airflow, 175-litre container. Three-phase power gives you what’s needed for constant running. It can be adapted for hazardous environments if you’re working with hot or toxic dust. Favoured on sites where downtime costs money and conditions don’t do equipment any favours.

Nilfisk VHS 120 Wet & Dry Vac

Surprisingly powerful for something this compact. Twin bypass motors pack serious suction into a small frame. Capacity goes up to 37 litres, with absolute filtration available for hazardous waste. Makes sense where space is limited or you need to move it around constantly. Handles general and hazardous materials safely.

Nilfisk VHC 200 Industrial Vacuum

Runs on compressed air rather than electricity, which matters on sites where power’s restricted or banned outright. Wet and dry materials, optional HEPA filtration, stainless steel build available. Comes in ATEX and non-ATEX versions depending on your environment. Manual filter shaker’s straightforward. Containers come in 50 or 100 litres, both quick to empty when you need to.

Nilfisk S3B Industrial Vacuum Cleaner

 Similar spec to the S2B. Single-phase, wet and dry, reliable. Gets used in engineering and general industrial settings for routine cleaning. Straightforward to operate, built to last, and performs well for daily workshop tasks without adding features you won’t use.

An industrial vacuum cleaner is an indispensable addition to any large premises as it is essential to adhere to health and safety regulations. Cleanliness can help protect your workforce from accidents, and it gives a much better impression to prospective customers and visitors.

All our industrial hoover for hire are excellent at collecting loose particles of dust or debris to keep your floors clear and clean. If your premises contain hazardous dusts or are in an area with restrictions on the use of electricity, then we can also supply vacuums that can accommodate these requirements too, with many variations of containment sizes and capacity.

Alternative Services

Depending on your requirements, you may prefer to look at some of our other machines. We sell, hire, and service a huge number of alternatives, so we can accommodate a number of different needs. If you are looking for a cleaner for a smaller space, have a look at our scrubber dryers, or conversely if you require something larger, one of our scrubber sweepers may be of more use.

Every site’s a bit different, so it helps to have a quick chat before you commit. We’ll cover things like delivery, what accessories are included/not included, and whether you’ll need someone to show you how it works.

If something goes wrong during the hire, we’ll talk through what happens.

Same with any safety docs or compliance paperwork you might need.

Give us a ring on 01744 882332 and we’ll work out the details based on what actually makes sense for your setup.

Industrial Vacuum Cleaner FAQs

The right machine comes down to three things: what you’re picking up, how big the area is, and what power you have on site. For fine dust and general workshop mess, a single-phase unit like the S2B or S3B is usually enough. For heavy solids, swarf, oil or constant use, a three-phase machine such as the CFM 3508W or 3707 works better. If you’re dealing with hazardous dust or can’t use mains power, we offer ATEX and compressed-air models. Not sure? Call us, describe your site, and we’ll match you to the right unit.

Pick your capacity by how much you’re collecting and how often you want to stop and empty. Smaller tanks of around 37 to 60 litres, like the VHS 120 or CFM 137, suit tight spaces and stop-start work. Bigger 100 to 175 litre machines, such as the CFM 3707 and 3907, are built for large sites and constant use, where frequent emptying would slow you down. A bigger container saves time but takes up more space, so weigh up both.

Single-phase units run on a standard supply and suit occasional, day-to-day use in workshops and smaller premises. Three-phase machines cost less to run over long stretches and are better for constant, round-the-clock use, such as in production plants. Not sure which supply you have on site? We can help you check before you hire.

Yes. Most of our range are wet and dry machines, so they handle liquid spills, emulsions and oil as well as dry dust and debris. Models like the S2B, VHS 120 and CFM 3508W switch between wet and dry pickup without fuss, which makes them a good fit for engineering, food processing and plant maintenance, where you’ll meet both.

Filters trap fine particles from the air and protect the parts inside the machine. HEPA filters catch the vast majority of fine airborne dust and suit most industrial jobs. ULPA (Ultra-Low Particulate Air) filters go further and trap even smaller particles, so they’re used where air standards are stricter, such as in pharmaceutical or high-spec work. The right choice depends on what you’re collecting, and we can advise on your job.

ATEX vacuums are built for areas where flammable dust, gases or vapours may be present, and they’re designed to take away the risk of a spark setting them off. Some sites ban electrical equipment altogether. For these, we supply compressed-air models such as the VHC 200, in both ATEX and non-ATEX versions. If you’re working with hazardous or combustible materials, tell us about the site and we’ll point you to a machine that meets the rules.

Ride-on models work best in large, open spaces such as warehouses and big commercial sites. They cover ground fast and take far less effort than walk-behind machines, so they make sense where the floor area is large and cleaning time counts. For smaller or tighter sites, a mobile unit is usually the better pick.

Yes. When we deliver, we can show you how to run the machine safely and get the most from it, so you’re not left to work it out on your own. If you need any safety or compliance paperwork for the equipment, tell us when you book and we’ll sort that too.

If something goes wrong during your hire, get in touch and we’ll talk through what happens next. We provide technical support, so you’re not left without a working machine on site. We’ll always aim to get you up and running as fast as possible.

The cost comes down to which machine you need, how long you need it, and delivery to your site, so we price each hire on its own rather than using set rates. That way you only pay for what the job needs. Give us a call on 01744 882332, tell us what you’re after, and we’ll give you a firm quote.

What’s included depends on the machine and your site, so we go over it with you upfront. When you get in touch, we’ll cover delivery, which accessories come with the unit, filters, and what happens if it breaks down, so nothing catches you out when the machine turns up.

Hire periods are flexible. Whether it’s a week-long job or several months of steady use, we can handle it. Not sure how long you’ll need the machine? We’ll talk it through and keep the terms flexible around your project.

Yes, we deliver. We’re based in St Helens and supply industrial sites nationwide. When you get in touch, tell us where you are and we’ll confirm delivery to your site as part of the quote.

Get in touch and let us know what you’re dealing with. We’ll ask about your site, what you need to pick up, and how long you’ll need the machine. From there, we can recommend which machine suits your needs and sort out the details. Give us a call on 01744 882332 or drop us an email and we’ll take it from there.
