49 HIRE AND RENTAL NEWS • EVENTS in FOCUS • FEBRUARY 2018 The Commonwealth Games includes over 400 structures, across 42 competition and non-competition venues. To cater for the demanding Australian weather, 260 of the marquee and temporary structures will be fitted with premium air conditioning systems. The new HVAC systems (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) have been procured fromActronAir, also a family-owned business. Moreton Hire Managing Director, Peter Morahan said the launch of the new products and ancillary items are a first for the event hire industry in Australia. “The Commonwealth Games require the highest level of mechanical engineering in HVAC. We have never seen this before in the Australian event market; it has completely redefined our ability to offer niche, bespoke packages for our clients,” Peter said. The entry level system is a 4.5kW portable unit, with the premium offering a 96kW tri-capacity packaged unit. Moreton Hire’s range is supported with in-house electrical engineers for safe and reliable installation. Available for both short-term or long-term hire, the systems can be hired individually or with a marquee designed to cater for the HVAC equipment. Commonwealth Games leads to air conditioning systems' availability Following its appointment as the official marquee and temporary structure provider for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, Moreton Hire has introduced air conditioning and heating systems to its service offering across Australia. The introduction of the new commercial machines further cements Moreton Hire’s capacity to deliver Australia’s largest events and will open new markets for the business, Peter said. “The systems can be installed in data centres, commercial offices, retail spaces, disaster recovery situations, projects facilities and of course, exhibitions and events.” “Moreton Hire is driven by offering unparalleled services for our clients. By doing so, not only do we simplify the execution of business events, but consequently generate internal efficiencies and maximise customer rewards.” Moreton Hire announced its partnership with Qantas Business Rewards in May last year, rewarding customers with one Qantas Point for every $1 spent on its products and services, including the new air conditioning systems.
