When safety is on the line, timing is everything. You can’t afford to wait for equipment or scramble to piece together what’s on hand. Whether you're planning a large-scale turnaround or responding to an emergency, renting gas detection equipment gives you fast access to the right tools, without the long-term burden of ownership.
Industrial Scientific’s rental program is built to deliver exactly what you need—when and where you need it. Our team understands the urgency of industrial safety and is equipped to help you scale up, fill in, or pivot on short notice. From personal gas detectors to area monitoring systems and connected safety infrastructure, everything arrives calibrated, configured, and ready to protect.
Why Rent Gas Detection Equipment for Turnarounds and Short-Term Projects
Projects like shutdowns and outages often require more workers and devices on-site to keep them safe. But investing in a fleet of monitors that may only get used a few weeks a year isn’t always practical. Renting helps meet project demands without breaking the budget. In the case of one Gulf Coast plant, a shutdown revealed a toluene leak their standard monitors couldn’t detect. With a single call to our Houston service center, they received the right mix of Radius® BZ1 Area Monitors with LEL and PID sensors in under 24 hours, allowing them to detect the hazard, establish a perimeter, and get back on track.
Emergency Gas Monitor Rentals When Timing Is Critical
Emergencies create an even greater need for speed. One customer contacted us after an explosion at a handling facility on New Year’s Eve. Despite the holiday, our team prepped and delivered the necessary equipment in less than 12 hours, allowing the customer to respond safely without delay. In many situations like this, customers simply don’t have the bandwidth, inventory, or time to troubleshoot. Our gas monitor rental program removes those barriers.
Connected Safety Rentals: Real-Time Protection, Zero Setup Delay
Rental is about more than availability — it’s about access to the best technology, even for short-term needs. Our rental inventory includes Industrial Scientific’s full portfolio of personal and area monitors, including the Ventis® Pro5, Radius BZ1, and RGX® Gateway.
These connected devices use LENS® Wireless peer-to-peer communication to share alarms in real time across teams and work zones, making it easier to monitor confined spaces, track mobile workers, and respond to hazards without relying on manual intervention. And because we pre-configure devices before shipping, you don’t need IT support or extra setup time on site. They’re ready to use right out of the box.
Renting also helps reduce the burden on your internal teams. Every unit is cleaned, calibrated, and shipped with the correct sensors and accessories. If anything fails or gets damaged, we’ll replace it. No service calls, no downtime, and no delays. For safety teams focused on minimizing risk, this is one less variable to manage.
