"To complement the air range we offer air tools, breakers, compaction and shot blasting equipment. As we focus into the energy sector Byrne has expanded the quantity and size range of compressors to fulfil our client’s requirements in this expanding market," she says.

Byrne’s specification of units available include industrial, rigsafe/safe area and Zone 2, with options of either a DNV 2.7-1 certified container of frame, skid mount, wheeled or stand-alone with noise attenuated enclosure and base.

The range offers excellent space efficiency for on deck and confined space application with stacking ability offered where deck space is limited, she says.
