The week your own detectors come due
Detectors that were bought in one order come due in the same month, because the interval starts the day they go into service. That is the week a supervisor discovers that the tank entry planned for Tuesday has a permit, a gas tester and no detector to give him. A shutdown does the same thing from the other side: more crews go into confined spaces than the site owns units for.
Rental answers both. TopBorneo calibrates your own detectors in its workshop, and rented units carry the permit work in the meantime. How the calibration itself is done is set out on the portable gas detector calibration page, and the MSA models are covered under ALTAIR 4XR and 5X servicing.
What is on the rental list
TopBorneo is an official distributor of MSA, and the rental fleet holds portable multi-gas detectors from the MSA ALTAIR line, the ALTAIR 5X and the ALTAIR 4XR. A multi-gas detector watches several gases at once, which is what most people mean when they ask for a four gas detector.
| Where | Rented from Kota Kinabalu, for jobs across Malaysia |
| You send | The gases to be covered, the number of units, the dates and the site |
| You get back | Confirmation of which units suit the job, and a quotation |
Name the gases rather than the model. A supervisor who asks for "a four gas" and gets a unit without the gas his tank actually holds has a detector he cannot use.
The work a rented detector is used for
Rental covers Malaysia, and the jobs that call for a detector are spread across both. A palm oil mill has sterilisers, storage tanks and effluent pits. A building site has manholes, sumps and fresh concrete tanks. A harbour job has ballast tanks and voids. All of those count as confined spaces, and Malaysia's Industry Code of Practice for Safe Working in a Confined Space 2010 asks for an Authorised Gas Tester and Entry Supervisor with a detector that is in calibration. What that entry has to have in place is set out under confined space entry requirements.

Common questions
Where can I rent a gas detector in Kota Kinabalu?
At TopBorneo, Lot No 8, Lean Seng Industrial, Jln Undan, 88450 Kota Kinabalu, telephone 088-422 259. Portable multi-gas detectors are rented from the same address that holds the calibration bench. Send the gases you need covered, the number of units and the dates, and TopBorneo confirms what suits the job.
Can I rent a detector while my own unit is being calibrated?
Yes, and that is what this rental is built for. TopBorneo calibrates detectors in its workshop and rents units out as well, so a rented unit keeps the permit work moving. Say in the same enquiry that the two belong together, and TopBorneo comes back on both at once.
How is a rented detector treated on site?
Like any other detector: MSA recommends a bump test before each day's use, and a unit that alarms but reads below the gas it was given has failed and does not go into a confined space.
Can a rented detector be used at a site outside Kota Kinabalu?
Yes. Rental covers Malaysia. Put the site in the enquiry along with the gases, the number of units and the dates, because where the unit is used decides which gases it has to cover.

Email crm@topborneo.com with the gases to be covered, the number of units, the dates and the site. WhatsApp works too, on the Kota Kinabalu number +60 16 775 0259. Add the model and serial numbers of your own detectors if they are due for calibration, so both jobs go on one quotation.
