What TopBorneo rents out
Equipment What it is
Rescue and evacuation kits A complete set for bringing a worker out of a space or down from height. Rope length is 40 or 50 metres, depending on what the job asks for.
Confined space tripods The frame that stands over a manhole or a tank opening. It takes a winch, and a fall arrest block with a retrieval function.
Breathing apparatus Complete sets. SCBA is worn to work in an atmosphere a person cannot breathe, EEBD carries only enough air to walk out of one.
Clean Air Box Air supply equipment, for work where clean air has to be fed to the worker.
Portable multi-gas detectors The MSA ALTAIR 5X or ALTAIR 4XR, subject to availability. Those two are also serviced on our own bench.

This equipment is available for short-term and long-term rental. Put the start and end date in the enquiry next to the item, and TopBorneo comes back on what fits those dates.

Why a shutdown empties your own store

Labuan lies in the South China Sea and works as the support base for the offshore fields around it. Work arrives in blocks. A shutdown stops a plant so it can be opened up and worked on, and in those same weeks more crews go into more confined spaces than in a normal month. A vessel alongside does the same thing on a shorter clock.

The sets in your own store are sized for a normal month. Renting covers the peak without leaving you with equipment that stands still, and on your own inspection register, for the rest of the year.

There is a second week when the store runs empty, and that one is on the calendar. Detectors and harnesses that go for calibration or inspection are off your site while the work is being done. TopBorneo calibrates detectors and inspects fall protection equipment in its own workshop, and a rented set keeps the permits moving in the meantime. See portable gas detector calibration and fall protection inspection.

The same office handles orders and quotations for equipment you would rather own. That range sits on the safety equipment supplier in Labuan page.

What to put in the enquiry
  • The equipment, in your own words. A description of the job works as well as a part number.
  • How many sets or units.
  • The start date and the end date.
  • The site where the equipment is used.
  • For detectors, the gases that have to be covered.

Send that and you get an answer about what fits the job, rather than a catalogue. Where a full entry set is involved, confined space equipment rental sets out what such a set is made up of. For detectors on their own, see gas detector rental.

Common questions

Can you rent safety equipment in Labuan?

Yes. TopBorneo rents safety equipment from its office at Labuan Times Square, Jln Merdeka, for jobs in Labuan and in Sabah. Rescue kits, confined space tripods, breathing apparatus, a Clean Air Box and portable multi-gas detectors are on the rental list. Availability is confirmed per enquiry.

How long can equipment be rented for?

TopBorneo rents this equipment on a short-term and a long-term basis. A single tank entry, a shutdown and a project on a platform each ask for a different span, so send the start date and the end date with the equipment you need and TopBorneo quotes against them.

Can I rent a gas detector while my own units are being calibrated?

Yes. Detectors bought in one order come due for calibration in the same week, which is exactly when the permits still have to be signed. TopBorneo calibrates portable gas detectors in its workshop and rents units out as well, so put both on one enquiry and TopBorneo comes back with what fits.

Does a rented breathing set come with an escape set?

Breathing apparatus is rented as a complete set, and both SCBA and EEBD are on the rental list. The two do different jobs, so say which one the work needs. SCBA is for working in an atmosphere a person cannot breathe. EEBD carries enough air to leave a space and no more.

Ask for a rental set

Email sales (at) topborneo.com with the equipment, the number of sets, the start and end date and the site. The Labuan WhatsApp number is +60 10 959 0259 and takes the same list. TopBorneo comes back with what fits the job, what is available for your dates and what it costs.


Your enquiry goes to the team in Labuan and Kota Kinabalu. Add the site, the dates and the quantities if you have them, and mention the serial numbers for servicing work.
