Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Rentals

NIOSH approved SCBA systems from Drager and MSA, for crews working in atmospheres where the air cannot be trusted.

The problems we solve

What operators call us for

Most calls come down to one of these situations. Every SCBA that leaves our yard is NIOSH approved, inspected, and configured for the atmosphere your crew is entering.

IDLH Entry

Air you can't trust for long duration work

IDLH atmospheres like sour gas work, confined space entry, and rescue standby leave no margin for trial and error. A crew needs a continuous source of clean air for the length of the task.

Our answer

30 and 60 minute NIOSH approved SCBA units from Drager and MSA, built to support OSHA 1910.134 and 1910.146 compliance, with lightweight composite cylinders and full face mask options sized for the job.

Emergency Egress

Getting out fast when things go wrong

When an atmosphere turns toxic or oxygen deficient without warning, workers need a way out that does not depend on the primary system holding.

Our answer

Escape packs with 5 and 15 minute cylinders and high visibility polyurethane hoods, compact enough to keep on hand for rapid evacuation.

Extended Confined Space Work

Work that outlasts a single cylinder

Confined space operations that run long cannot be sustained on a self-contained cylinder alone, and swapping bottles mid-entry is not always practical.

Our answer

Cylinder-with-airline configurations that pair escape capability with quick connect fittings for external breathing air cascade systems, so a supplied air setup can take over for the duration.

Fit, Seal & Fatigue

Gear that has to hold up through a full shift

A poor seal or an uncomfortable harness undermines protection and wears a crew down during rescue standby or a long turnaround.

Our answer

Drager Panorama Nova and Ultra Elite facepieces for a secure seal and wide field of vision, on lightweight nonconductive backplates and ergonomic harnesses built to reduce fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What SCBA durations does Tiger rent?

30 minute and 60 minute units, plus escape pack configurations for emergency evacuation.

Which manufacturers are in the fleet?

NIOSH approved systems from Drager and MSA.

When is SCBA required rather than an air-supplied respirator?

SCBA gives a self-contained, continuous source of clean breathing air, which is what IDLH atmospheres call for. For sustained work in confined spaces and tank entries, a supplied air breathing apparatus (SABA) from our breathing air category is often the better fit. Our team can help match the setup to the entry plan.

What hazards does this protect against?

Hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and oxygen deficiency concerns on drilling, completions, well control, vessel entry, and emergency response work.
