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.
