Temporary and Short-term Cryogenic Tank Rental

Bulk tank failed. The supplier missed the delivery. Turnaround started, and the backup plan just fell apart. FireCryo has been providing temporary cryogenic tank rental to U.S. operators since 1974, fifty-plus years of answering the phone when something went wrong. Family-owned in Conroe, Texas, with a yard full of inspected, ready-to-ship equipment and a nationwide dealer network behind it. Tell us the gas, the volume, and the site. We’ll tell you, honestly, how quickly we can have a unit on the road.

WHEN PRODUCTION STOPS, EVERYTHING STOPS

WHEN PRODUCTION STOPS, EVERYTHING STOPS

A failed bulk tank is not a tomorrow problem. A missed LOX delivery to a hospital isn’t a next-week problem. A turnaround where the contingency gas supply didn’t arrive isn’t a problem anyone’s willing to pause for. Every hour without a cryogenic supply burns money, production crews idle, hospital protocols strain, and pipeline windows slip. The real killer is uncertainty: calling supplier after supplier, getting voicemail, waiting for callbacks that never come. Emergency gas supply systems are only useful if someone answers when you dial. That’s the actual differentiator here, not spec sheets, not fleet size. Response time.

TEMPORARY RENTAL SOLUTIONS WE DEPLOY

Emergencies don’t all look the same. Neither do our temporary rental solutions:

Bulk Cryogenic Tanks

1,500 to 15,000+ gallon stationary tanks for LOX, LIN, LAR, LCO2, and LNG when a site's permanent tank is down for repair or vacuum loss.

Portable and Bulk Transport Trailers

MC-338 rated mobile tankers with onboard vaporization, deployable to site as temporary production assets for turnarounds, pipeline work, and supply outages.

Temporary LNG Storage Solutions

LNG transport trailers and stationary units for virtual pipeline coverage, utility backup, and remote energy supply when primary infrastructure fails.

Micro Bulk & Liquid Cylinders

Quick-deploy onsite temporary gas systems for labs, hospitals, and small production cells that lose primary supply.

Vaporizer Skids

Ambient and dual-skid vaporizers to restore regasification capacity when a site's primary unit frosts out or fails.

Complete Package Deployment

Tank + vaporizer + delivery coordinated as a single integrated response when you need an entire supply chain rebuilt fast.

DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITIES

What makes temporary deployment actually work isn’t the equipment, it’s what surrounds it.

INDUSTRIES WE SUPPORT UNDER PRESSURE

We’ve deployed emergency and temporary gas supply across nearly every U.S. industry that depends on cryogenic gases:

Industrial Gas Distributors

Rental-only equipment with no gas supply strings attached. Keep your customers, protect your margins, scale fleet capacity on demand during outages or contract ramps.

Hospitals & Healthcare

Emergency LOX supply when primary bulk tanks fail, utility outages hit, or demand spikes during surge events.

Oil & Gas / Energy

Pipeline commissioning, pressure testing, and well-site nitrogen for time-critical project windows.

Food & Beverage

LCO2 supply during carbonation system failures or seasonal production peaks for bottlers, brewers, and food processors.

HOW EMERGENCY DEPLOYMENT WORKS

Speed matters. Here’s the actual sequence when an urgent request comes in:

1

Call or Request a Quote

Real person on the phone, usually within minutes. Gas, volume, site location, timeline we get the essentials first.

2

Inventory Match

Fast check against our pre-staged Conroe fleet. If the exact config isn't on our lot, Julie's dealer network will be worked on immediately, not after the first callback.

3

Honest Timeline

We give you a real ship date and a real arrival window. If we can't meet your deadline, you hear that up front so you can parallel-path another supplier if needed.

4

Inspection & Dispatch

Every unit is vacuum-checked, pressure-tested, and documentation-verified before release. No surprises at your receiving dock.

5

On-Site and Supported

Freight is coordinated nationwide. Our team stays available through the rental for swaps, field service, or follow-up configurations.

FLEXIBLE RENTAL TERMS

Short-term gas equipment rental should match the actual duration of the crisis, not a one-size-fits-all contract:

Tell us the timeline. We’ll build around it.

WHY OPERATIONS TEAMS CALL FIRECRYO FIRST

Emergency rentals are trust transactions. You’re deciding whether a supplier will actually pull through under pressure, and most buyers only find out during an emergency itself. FireCryo has been in cryogenic equipment since 1974. Founder Roy Plummer built the company; Julie McFarlane has run it since 1995 with 40 years of hands-on experience. Why operations heads and plant managers call us:

Real people on the phone

Honest timelines, we tell you when we can and can't meet your deadline

Half a century of relationships behind the freight and sourcing

Emergency gas supply systems are deployed across every industry we serve

CALL FIRECRYO NOW

Time is the whole story. Stop chasing callbacks from suppliers who aren’t answering. FireCryo is family-owned, Texas-based, and direct. Tell us the gas, the volume, the site, and the timeline  we’ll tell you honestly what we can do and how fast. A temporary cryogenic tank rental starts with one phone call.

COMMON SCENARIOS WE HANDLE

Temporary cryogenic rental earns its value in the scenarios operations teams never want to be in:

Unplanned Plant Shutdowns

Bulk tank vacuum loss, valve failures, or unexpected vessel requalification stop production. A temporary cryogenic tank rental restores supply while permanent equipment is repaired or replaced.

Backup Supply During Maintenance

Scheduled turnarounds, vessel recertifications, and planned maintenance windows where losing production isn't an option.

Seasonal Demand Spikes

Food, beverage, and HVAC operators are seeing 2–3x normal CO2 or nitrogen demand during peak months.

Infrastructure Gaps

New construction sites, remote work, or facilities without completed permanent gas supply infrastructure, needing temporary LNG storage solutions or nitrogen supply.

Utility and Supplier Failures

When a primary gas supplier contract gets disrupted, we keep your production running while the situation is resolved.
