X-ray & Metal Detector Hire in Ireland
We keep a large stock of screening systems in Ireland, ready to deploy, and our own engineers go out with them. Short-term and long-term hire of X-ray machines, walk-through metal detectors and complete checkpoints — from a single day to a full season, delivered with our Irish partner where local knowledge matters.
Proof, not promises
What We've Screened In Ireland
Ireland is not a map pin on this page. It is where one of our largest single deployments happened, and where the fleet has been back more than once.
- Stock held in Ireland: a large pool of screening systems kept on the island and ready to deploy, rather than everything waiting on a crossing
- Amgen Irish Open 2026, Doonbeg: more than 70 systems — over 35 X-rays and over 35 walk-through detectors — across park and ride sites, on-course search areas and offsite screening in County Clare, with engineers resident locally for the whole tournament — read the case study
- NFL international games at Croke Park, Dublin: checkpoint screening on gameday discipline, part of a run of NFL venues across Europe — read the case study
- Delivered with Pulse Security Management, our Irish partner, where an operation needs local knowledge of the ground and the agencies involved
Everything travels from a fleet of more than 300 systems we own outright, tested before it leaves and commissioned in position when it lands.
How it works here
Stock On The Ground In Ireland
Held in Ireland
We keep a large stock of screening systems in Ireland, ready to deploy. A normal Irish hire comes off Irish stock rather than waiting on a crossing.
Our engineers travel
The people who build the checkpoint come with it and stay for the duration. At Doonbeg they were resident locally all week.
Operators if you need them
Trained operators supplied with the equipment, or we set up and brief your own team and stay contactable throughout.
Hire runs from a single day to a full season. For a very large or multi-site deployment the UK fleet of more than 300 owned systems backs up what is already in Ireland — that is how Doonbeg was resourced. Either way, get us involved early: the design work is what makes a distributed checkpoint behave like one.
Typical hires in Ireland
Who Hires From Us In Ireland
Events & Festivals
Sporting events, festivals and one-off occasions, including distributed park and ride screening where the crowd arrives by bus rather than on foot.
Event screening →Stadiums & Arenas
Single fixtures or a season of lanes, calibrated for the realistic threat and the admission window rather than airport-style item screening.
Venue screening →Airports & Business Aviation
Cover during maintenance, upgrades or a seasonal peak, including cabin baggage systems available on long-term hire rather than purchase.
Aviation screening →Offices & Public Buildings
Reception search points for a defined period — a refurbishment, a hearing, a visit or a period of heightened threat.
Office screening →Manufacturing & Distribution
Exit screening for a defined loss-prevention push, or contamination and foreign-object checks on a production line.
Loss prevention →Ports & Cruise Terminals
Turnaround-day screening and cover during refits, from a team used to working inside a berth window.
Maritime screening →Ireland Hire Questions
Is your equipment already in Ireland, or does it ship from the UK?
Both, and the first matters more day to day. We keep a large stock of screening systems in Ireland, ready to deploy, so a normal Irish hire comes off Irish stock rather than waiting on a crossing.
Behind that sits a UK fleet of more than 300 owned systems for anything very large. For the 2026 Amgen Irish Open at Doonbeg, more than 70 systems were staged and shipped to the west coast of Ireland, distributed across park and ride sites and on-course search areas, with engineers resident locally for the whole tournament. Either way it is our equipment and our engineers, not a subcontractor — the Doonbeg case study sets out how that one was run.
Can you cover an event outside Dublin?
Yes — our largest Irish deployment to date was in County Clare, not Dublin. Screening was spread across park and ride sites, on-course search areas and offsite points for the Amgen Irish Open.
Rural and coastal sites bring their own problems: temporary power, marquee flooring, Atlantic weather and crowds arriving by bus rather than on foot. Those are design questions, and we work them through before anything ships.
Who do you work with in Ireland?
We deliver alongside Pulse Security Management, our Irish partner, on operations that need local knowledge of the ground, the suppliers and the agencies involved. RedteQ supplies the equipment and the technical cover; Pulse bring the operational knowledge on the ground.
For straightforward equipment hire you can also deal with us directly — tell us the dates and the location.
