Blackline Safety invests $1M in rental program

Calgary —  Blackline Safety Corp. has announced a $1 million investment in the expansion of its product rental program.

The company reportedly launched its rental business in spring 2021 and says it’s preparing for rapid growth this year.

“Whether the driving factor is a turnaround, special project, outage or repair replacement, our customers have told us they are looking for a fast and flexible solution to keep workers and contractors safe,” said Sean Stinson, chief revenue officer, Blackline Safety in a statement.

“We are pleased to offer rentals as the most efficient way for customers to quickly obtain our personal protection wearables and area gas monitoring equipment to protect their people on site or in the field—or to try before they buy.”

As part of the expansion, the company says it has invested in approximately 1,500 pieces of equipment – including its fleet of cloud-enabled G7 wearable safety devices, EXO portable area gas monitors, docks, cartridges and accessories – for rental. All of the equipment is manufactured in-house.

Rentals for North American customers are dispatched from the company’s distribution partners or through their Calgary and Houston facilities.

Blackline Safety also announced plans to establish a facility in Dubai to distribute rentals in the United Arab Emirates.
