We enable industrial hygiene and safety professionals to successfully complete critical measurement projects by providing calibrated, reliable rental equipment backed by technical expertise and exceptional service.

About RAECO Rents

When you're conducting workplace noise assessments, gas detection monitoring, respirator fit testing, or air quality studies, you need equipment that works and you need a partner who understands what's at stake. That's where we come in. RAECO Rents specializes in industrial hygiene and environmental monitoring instrumentation for professionals like you: industrial hygienists, safety consultants, EHS managers, and compliance professionals who make difficult measurements in the field.

Here's what gives us an advantage: when you rent from us, we become part of your project team. You're not just getting equipment. You're getting access to technical staff who understand IH applications, OSHA regulations, NIOSH protocols, and the real-world challenges of your work. We know that failed calibrations, missing accessories, or unreliable equipment don't just cause delays. They can derail entire projects, put compliance at risk, and create liability issues you can't afford. So we've built our entire operation around one goal: ensuring your measurement projects succeed.

We know you care about accuracy, reliability, and data you can defend. That's why we maintain manufacturer-recommended calibration intervals, keep detailed service records, and invest in high-quality rental equipment with an average age of 2.1 years. You're renting from a company that understands the difference between a sound level meter for general use and one that meets ANSI Type 1 specifications for OSHA compliance. We speak your language, and we take your work seriously.

Since 2021, we've been independently owned and operated by people who have spent decades in the industrial hygiene equipment business. Our customers include firms like Tetra Tech, Bay Environmental, and UL, along with hundreds of consulting firms, corporate EHS departments, and government agencies across the United States. We've supported projects ranging from routine workplace monitoring to emergency response situations where equipment needed to ship the same day. Whether you're a solo consultant or part of a large organization, we're here to make your job easier.
