Airport-Grade Compliance Without The Capital Cost
Refurbished equipment upgraded to the latest aviation security standards, leased at a fraction of the price of buying new. That's how smaller airports and private jet centres meet regulatory standards, and how venues meet Martyn's Law obligations without breaking the budget.
- Full service & maintenance included in monthly rental fees
- Stay current: swap or upgrade technology as requirements evolve
- Budget-friendly: a predictable monthly cost instead of capital expenditure
- Cabin baggage screening systems: Smiths Detection HI-SCAN 6040aTiX and 7555aTiX dual-view systems with automatic explosives detection, for C1 and C2 cabin baggage regimes at airports and business aviation — available on long-term hire rather than purchase
Prop hire for TV & film
Real Screening Equipment, Ready For Its Close-Up
Art departments and prop masters come to us because the equipment is the real thing — genuine conveyor X-rays, walk-through metal detectors and checkpoint furniture, from airport scenes to security at building entrances. We've supplied productions many times, most recently the G-Shock advert featuring Central Cee.
Our engineers are smart enough to "rig" the systems for the script: detectors that alarm exactly on cue, and X-ray-safe X-rays — belts running, red warning lights on, but no radiation whatsoever. All controlled, all safe, all convincing on camera.
- Airport & checkpoint scenes: full lanes with trays, tables and barriers, styled to match the era or setting
- Rigged on cue: alarms, lights and belts triggered exactly when the director wants them
- Delivered & operated: installed by the same engineers who build real checkpoints, on set for as long as you need
