We’re thrilled to announce that The Hireman has been selected by Murphy for a long-term hire agreement featuring the latest in portable high performance cleaning equipment – The Battery Powered 940L Bowser Pressure Washer.

This innovative machine represents a significant step forward for environmentally conscious site operations. Designed for powerful performance with minimal noise and emissions, the battery-powered bowser washer delivers extended run times and efficient cleaning without the reliance on traditional fossil fuels.

For Murphy, whose climate action plan aims for net zero direct emissions by 2030 and has already achieved significant reductions through greener plant and equipment investments, this hire agreement aligns perfectly with its long-term sustainability ambitions.
