Barrier Systems

We have a range of over 18 different barrier and demarcation types such as crowd control and pedestrian barriers for creating boundaries at field events, heavy-duty barriers for demonstrations, football matches and concerts, and front of stage barriers for indoor and outdoor use.

Fencing Systems

Keep your outdoor event safe and secure with our range of temporary fencing products. You can hire mesh fence panels which create secure boundaries for outdoor events, steel shield systems which are used to create perimeter fencing and picket fences which allow you to add the finishing touches to your VIP area or exclusive marquee.

Trackway & Flooring

From temporary roadways, pedestrian walkways and stage pads to indoor and outdoor flooring, our trackway systems are suited to a number of different applications. Aluminium trackway is available in either panels or rolls and offers maximum grip for pedestrians and vehicles whilst our plastic vehicular trackway can be installed quickly.

Power & Lighting

We have the perfect equipment to light up and power any event from mobile lighting towers and floodlights to super-silenced generators that comply with local and European noise regulations. Our Events team works closely with you to advise on the number of generators or lighting towers required to achieve any level of power or site illumination. We also offer a 24-hour back up service for complete peace of mind.

Plant & Equipment

GAP has been a market leading supplier in the plant hire industry for over 45 years. We take pride in working together with our customers to ensure they get the right equipment to make their event run smoothly. So whether you need a scissor lift or cherry picker to put the finishing touches on some staging or a heavy duty excavator to navigate those muddy festival fields, leave it to us and you can get on with the show.

We have brand new products which are ready and waiting for hire including portable chemical toilets, ADA approved wheelchair access toilets, urinals, shower blocks and self contained mobile eco welfare units.
