When safety, compliance and reliable monitoring matter, you need more than just equipment—you need the right equipment, correctly configured and backed by experienced technical support.
Control Equipment provides one of Australia’s most comprehensive ranges of gas detection equipment, environmental monitoring instruments and occupational hygiene equipment for hire. From a single portable gas detector for a one-day confined-space entry to a complete fleet of monitoring instruments for major shutdowns, construction projects, or environmental assessments, we deliver calibrated, ready-to-use equipment nationwide.
Every instrument is professionally inspected, calibrated, and function-tested before dispatch to ensure accurate performance from the moment it arrives on site. Our experienced team works closely with safety professionals, industrial hygienists, environmental consultants, engineers and maintenance teams to recommend the most suitable equipment for each application.
Whether you’re monitoring oxygen deficiency, combustible gases, toxic gases, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), dust, noise, heat stress or specialist fumigation gases, Control Equipment has the expertise and equipment to support your project.
With almost 50 years of experience in gas detection and environmental monitoring, we don’t simply hire instruments—we help businesses protect their people, meet compliance obligations and make confident safety decisions.
Flexible daily, weekly and long-term hire options are available, with fast Australia-wide delivery and expert technical support.

WHY HIRE FROM CONTROL EQUIPMENT
Not all equipment hire companies are the same.
Many hire businesses simply rent instruments from a warehouse. At Control Equipment, every hire is supported by specialists who understand gas detection, environmental monitoring and occupational hygiene. Our team takes the time to understand your application, ensuring the equipment supplied is appropriate for the gases, hazards and conditions you’ll be working in.
That technical expertise can make a significant difference. Selecting the wrong sensor technology, sampling method or alarm configuration can lead to inaccurate readings, unnecessary downtime or increased safety risks. Our specialists help eliminate that uncertainty by recommending the right instrument for your application—not simply the one that’s available.
Every hire instrument is professionally prepared before dispatch and includes:
- Current calibration and functional testing
- Fully charged batteries or power supplies
- Required sampling accessories
- User guidance and operating support
- Flexible hire periods from daily to long-term projects
- Australia-wide freight
- Ongoing technical assistance throughout the hire period
Unlike many hire providers, Control Equipment also supports customers before, during and after the hire. If your project changes, additional equipment is required or you need advice on monitoring techniques, our technical team is only a phone call away.
For organisations that value reliable equipment, expert advice and responsive service, Control Equipment provides far more than equipment hire—we provide confidence.
