Mobile Porta Pros rents diesel and solar light towers for job sites, roll-off dumpster staging areas and night events across Mobile, with delivery reaching Tillmans Corner 10.4 miles southwest and Prichard 11.3 miles north. Towers arrive fueled and tested before drop-off.
Light tower pricing runs alongside our other construction site services, and it depends on fuel type, run time and how long you need it on site. A diesel unit typically costs more per day than solar because of fuel delivery and refueling visits, while solar towers cost more up front but need no fuel stops at all. Most contractors pairing a light tower with a roll-off dumpster rental or a construction dumpster rental book both for the same delivery window to save a trip charge. If your site already has a temporary power pole or 200 amp service running, ask about running smaller task lighting off that circuit instead. OSHA 1926.56(a) sets minimum illumination intensities for construction areas by task type, and that standard is often what drives whether a site needs one tower or several. We size towers the same way we size standard porta potty rental counts, based on crew footprint and hours worked, not guesswork.
| unit | duration | typical range |
|---|---|---|
| standard porta potty | day | $100 to $350 |
| standard porta potty | week | $130 to $500 |
| dumpster | week | $426 to $778 |
| delivery fee | day | $100 to $500 |
Delivery fees for site equipment in Mobile generally fall in that same band shown above, whether it is a light tower, a fence panel drop, or a handwashing station rental arriving with it.
Diesel towers put out more consistent light over longer stretches and work well on active construction site services jobs running nights and early mornings. Solar towers make sense on sites near residential areas in Mobile where noise matters, or on longer-duration jobs where you would rather skip the weekly fuel run. Either option pairs with temporary fence rental around the perimeter, since OSHA 1926.202 requires barricades protecting employees to conform to ANSI D6.1, and good lighting plus a fenced boundary covers both the visibility and the containment side of a night job. If your crew works around chemicals, coatings or pesticides after dark, remember OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities specifically for paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, not just general cleanup. A portable sink rental or handwashing station rental covers that requirement without slowing the crew down.
Placement matters more than most crews expect. A light tower needs stable, level ground the same way a storage container rental or 20ft storage container does, and it should sit clear of the roll-off delivery lane. Roll-off trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to place or pull a container, so keep the tower out of that path. Housekeeping matters too. OSHA 1926.25 requires scrap and debris cleared from work areas, which keeps cords and fuel lines from becoming a trip hazard near the tower base. Many Mobile contractors run a light tower alongside a portable restroom rental cluster and a temporary fence rental line, treating the three as one lighted, contained, serviced zone rather than scattered equipment. Check our porta potty placement guide for the same logic applied to restroom siting.
Book as soon as your schedule firms up, especially for weekend or event work when demand for event restroom rental equipment and lighting overlaps. Standard construction jobs in Mobile can often get next-day delivery, but tight timelines limit fuel and unit choices.
Yes. We deliver both on one trip when scheduled together, which is common on construction dumpster rental jobs. Combining deliveries usually keeps the delivery fee lower than two separate trips would.
Solar towers store charge and can run through a stretch of cloudy weather, though heavy overcast for several days in a row will draw down reserves faster. Diesel remains the safer choice for critical overnight lighting.
It depends on site layout more than headcount. A single tower covers roughly one active work zone; sites spanning several zones, like large roll-off dumpster rental staging areas, usually need two or more towers positioned at each zone.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. On private job sites this typically is not an issue, but check our porta potty permit requirements page for how we handle permit questions on similar equipment.
Yes. Mobile Porta Pros delivers light tower rental across Mobile and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
