Equipment Rental Brothers offers arc welder rental for the London, ON area for structural steel repair, heavy fabrication, outdoor welding, and jobs involving rusty, dirty, or painted steel where MIG welding is less practical. Arc welding is a strong option when shielding gas is not desirable or outdoor conditions make gas shielding unreliable. Rentals are available from our Otterville, ON yard for half-day, full-day, multi-day, and weekly use.
When to Choose Arc Welding
Arc welding, also known as stick welding or SMAW, is often the better choice when the work involves:
- thicker steel sections where deeper penetration is helpful
- outdoor welding where wind would disrupt MIG shielding gas
- rusty, dirty, or painted steel where stick electrodes tolerate surface contamination better
- remote locations where shielding gas is not available or practical
- heavier industrial, structural, or agricultural repair work
Rural and Agricultural Heavy Repair
A common use case for arc welder rentals is farm and rural equipment repair. That includes cracked frames, broken implement components, heavier repair work on agricultural equipment, and other jobs where thicker steel and outdoor conditions make stick welding the better option.
- Process: Arc / stick welding (SMAW)
- Materials: Mild steel, cast iron with correct electrode, stainless with correct electrode

Choose arc welding for outdoor welding, thicker steel, dirtier material, and situations where shielding gas is not practical or would be disrupted by wind.
No. Stick welding uses a flux-coated electrode that creates its own shielding during the weld, which is one of the main reasons it works well outdoors.
Most arc welders require 240V, though some smaller units may operate on 120V. Confirm your available power source and intended material thickness at booking.
