Vibration instrument rental

Hello everyone.
I need to collect a set of online vibration data from screw compressor during a shut down.
At this moment I am looking for the company which can rent out a multichannel data acquisition system, similar to ADRE, ZonicBook, Data Physics, etc. together with Software here in Canada, Alberta
It should be system with 8 up to 16 channels plus tach channel.
Really appreciate if somebody can give me a hint or link to the right guys.
Many thanks in advance.

RE: Vibration instrument rental

Have you considered talking to someone like NTS: http://www.nts.com/services/dynamics/vibration

While getting a recorder, sensors, and software results in something that resembles the stuff that a vibe test lab has, what's lacking is the calibration and expertise. Seems to me there is some risk of burning a truckload of calories and dollars chasing down gremlins and problems that a known, dedicated, hardware system might have already solved.

Thanks for reply. I used to work for a long time as a Fiels Service Engineer hense, there will not be lack of experience , I guess. I need just a proper instrument to do it.
It would be simple shutdown of the big compressor with possible issues. The recorded data interpretation will help to discover them.
Regards!

I checked the Google for Techrentals, thank you very much. What I found so far:
http://techrentals.com.au/Info_AboutUs.html
It looks like they serve only three regions: Australia, New Zealand, Malasia.
I am in Canada. Plus, they do not have what I am looking for.
Thanks for assistance!

I recommend www.modalshop.com
If they have what you need, then they are very good at providing it.
