Why Hire Safety Technology Instead of Buying It?

Buying safety technology outright ties up capital and leaves you responsible for sourcing, maintaining and replacing the equipment yourself. Hiring can be a practical and economical alternative when you need equipment for a single shutdown, a temporary increase in demand or an unplanned job. Our range across Gas DetectionRespiratory Protection and Alcohol Detection can help you identify the equipment suited to your application, and you return it when the hire period ends.


If a device requires maintenance, calibration or repair during a project, replacement options may be available depending on the equipment, availability and selected service package. Additional equipment can also be arranged for higher demand, subject to availability and the scope of the hire solution.


Hired equipment is supplied ready to use, with customer-specific preparation available where required. Depending on the selected hire and service package, equipment is inspected, maintained and repaired either at a service workshop or at your site. The applicable service scope and maintenance requirements are defined by the equipment and the hire agreement.

In many cases, yes. Hire solutions can be tailored to your project requirements and may combine equipment from different categories, such as gas detection, respiratory protection and alcohol testing, subject to availability and the applicable hire process.

The Dräger Rental Shop is dedicated to hiring equipment. If you would rather buy certain safety technology outright, a separate Dräger Safety Shop is available for purchasing selected products.

Hire charges depend on the equipment, hire period, service package and applicable hire terms. Rates may be calculated by day, month or year, depending on the agreement. The financial consequences of returning equipment early also depend on the applicable hire terms and should be confirmed before returning the equipment.

Yes. During checkout, you need to accept our hire terms and conditions, which forms your agreement with us. These terms define the conditions for matters such as delivery, use and return of the equipment.

Our hire service includes customer consultation to help identify the equipment suited to your individual requirements. The available equipment and service package can be selected according to your application, project duration and required scope of support.
