An emergency generator during an overhaul, an additional compressor, a chiller for a few weeks: in industry there are many loud operations that are not permanent. For exactly these cases we hire out acoustic mats, mobile noise walls and enclosures. They screen the noise source from workplaces, neighbours and other parts of the plant.

- up to 23 dB, depending on the system
- flexible hire periods for conversions and maintenance
- installation optional by arrangement
- delivery across Europe
Temporary noise control for machines and equipment
Our mobile systems are made for conversions, overhauls, breakdowns or short-term additional plant capacity. They stand close to the noise source and can be adapted when processes change. You only hire as much area for as long as you really need.
- screening of individual machines or whole areas
- for indoor and outdoor use
- various lengths and heights, with a support frame if required
- delivery, collection and, on request, installation
Typical noise sources in industry
Mobile noise control pays off wherever a permanent solution would be too expensive or work areas change constantly – for example with:
- power generators, emergency generators and transformers
- compressors, pumps and hydraulic power units
- chillers, air-conditioning units and mobile ventilation
- production machines, test rigs and workshops
- loading zones with forklift and lorry traffic
- maintenance, overhaul and assembly work
Mobile wall or enclosure?
A mobile wall interrupts the direct sound path between the plant and the neighbouring area. If a compact machine runs continuously, a partial or complete enclosure is often the better choice. In both cases, openings, joints and open access points cost a lot of performance.
With engines, generators and chillers, air supply, waste heat, exhaust gases, fire protection and maintenance access must also be planned. The screening must not endanger safe operation. We therefore always plan it to suit the situation on site and the manufacturer’s specifications.
What we need for planning
For a first assessment: type and size of the noise source, location, operating hours, required screening area and hire period. Photos, a site plan and details of distances, access routes and fixing options help as well. Outdoors, ground conditions and wind matter – fences and support frames have to be erected so that they stand safely.
Why hire?
- no investment for a temporary need
- no storage after the project ends
- quantity and set-up to suit the project
- for planned measures and spontaneous additional demand
