A portable sink rental gets you a self-contained handwashing or hair-washing station with its own fresh water tank, no plumbing hookup needed. Mobile Porta Pros sets units up in about the same footprint as a standard unit, roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground, and most jobs need just one station per crew.
A portable sink is a standalone basin with a built-in fresh water tank and a wastewater holding tank underneath. No hose bib, no drain line, nothing tying it to a building. That is the whole point. Mobile Porta Pros delivers these as a companion to portable restroom rental setups or as a standalone unit for job sites, food booths and events across Mobile. Some crews pair a sink station with a handwashing station rental for a full washup zone, and others just need a single basin near a temporary fence rental perimeter for workers coming off a demo job. For construction crews, this matters under OSHA 1926.51(a)(1), which requires an adequate supply of potable water at all places of employment, and washing facilities are separately required under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) any time workers apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. If your site falls under that rule, a portable sink is not optional, it is the fix. Compare it against a portable sink rental alternative like a compact hand sanitizer station if you only need quick rinse access rather than full basin washing, covered on our hand sanitizer station rental page.
Yes, a portable sink built with a hair-washing basin works fine for that, and it is one of the more common uses we see for camping trips, disaster response deployments and film shoots around Mobile. The basin sits at a comfortable lean-back angle, and the water tank feeds it under pressure so you are not pumping by hand. Crews on film set restroom rental jobs often request this specifically for talent between takes. Campers renting for river trips near camping porta potty setups add a sink station to the order for the same reason. If you are running disaster relief sanitation services after a storm, a hair-washing sink is one of the first comfort items people ask for, right behind a working toilet and a shower. Hot water portable sink units are also available. These use a small heating element or a pre-heated tank fill, and they matter most in cooler months. For general handwashing at a food booth or fair, plain cold water is fine and meets 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device at any washing facility. Hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy that rule, so a proper sink beats a gel dispenser if health inspectors are checking your setup at a county fair restrooms event.
Water tank size varies by model, but most portable sink stations pair with a fresh water supply similar in scale to the 60 to 70 gallon holding tank used on a standard portable restroom unit. That is enough for a full day of intermittent handwashing for a small crew before a refill. Larger events need either a bigger tank or a scheduled top-off visit, which we coordinate the same way we handle service intervals for standard porta potty rental units. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a baseline service interval of one visit per week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and we use that same logic to plan refill schedules for sink stations on multi-day jobs. If you are running a booth at a festival, our festival restroom rental team can bundle a sink station with your toilet order so delivery happens in one trip. Weekend events, weddings and one-day markets around Mobile usually run in the 100 to 150 dollar range for delivery depending on distance and access, similar to the delivery fee band we quote for restroom trailers and standard units.
Choose a portable sink when you need a deep basin for washing hands, hair or light equipment, not just a quick rinse. A dedicated handwashing station, covered on our handwashing station rental page, is built for high-turnover foot traffic at events and construction gates. A portable sink works better for hair washing, food prep rinse-down, or any task needing more basin depth and water volume. Crews working under construction site services contracts often want both: a bank of handwashing stations at the gate for OSHA 1926.51(c) compliance, plus one or two portable sinks near a break trailer for deeper washing. If your project is agricultural, note that OSHA 1928.110 requires field sanitation with potable water, toilets and handwashing within a quarter mile walk for hand-labor employees, which our farm and agricultural restrooms page covers in more detail. For home projects, see home renovation porta potty for how a sink station fits alongside a single-unit rental.

Pricing depends on tank size, hot water option and rental length, and we quote it against delivery and service fees rather than a flat number. Expect delivery in the same 100 to 150 dollar range as our standard unit delivery. Ask for an exact quote through request a quote once we know your site and dates.
Not always, but pairing them makes service easier. One delivery run covers both, cutting your delivery fee to a single trip. See porta potty placement guide for spacing tips that apply to sink stations too.
Yes, hot water portable sink models use a heating element or pre-warmed tank fill. This matters most for winter jobs; check our porta potty in winter page for cold-weather service notes that apply to sink tanks as well.
