Mobile Porta Pros rents shower trailers across Mobile for storm cleanup, disaster relief crews, film shoots and multi-day events. A standard trailer rental runs from 150 to 1,650 dollars depending on the week you book and the unit size, and Mobile Porta Pros delivers within days of the call.
A shower trailer is a self-contained unit with private stalls, its own water supply and drainage, built for sites that have no working plumbing. Crews doing disaster relief sanitation after a storm use them the same way film crews do on a film set restroom rental job: nobody wants to drive home dirty. Compare that to a restroom trailer rental, which is built for toilets, not bathing, though many jobs need both side by side. If you are only weighing toilets, start with portable restroom rental instead.
Trailers come in a few configurations. A 2 stall restroom trailer or 4 stall restroom trailer footprint gets adapted for shower use on smaller jobs, while bigger crews lean toward an 8 stall restroom trailer layout or a dedicated shower unit. For events wanting a nicer finish, ask about the luxury restroom trailer option. Pricing follows the same bands as other trailer work, so check restroom trailer rental cost before you commit to a duration.
Day rates, week rates and month-long jobs price differently, and a longer rental should never cost less per day than a short one. Here is the range Mobile Porta Pros measured across trailer bookings.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | 175 | 800 | 2500 |
| weekend | 900 | 2000 | 3000 |
| week | 150 | 1397 | 1650 |
| event | 2499 | 3500 | 3899 |
A single-day rental sits at the wide end because it covers everything from a bare shower unit to a full luxury build. Weekend jobs, common for weddings and small festivals, run a flat premium instead of a day rate stacked three times. If you are still deciding between trailer types, the restroom trailer rental cost page breaks down toilets versus showers versus combo units. Ask Mobile Porta Pros for a firm quote once you know your headcount and how many days the crew needs water running.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery, since permit rules were not verified for this page. Mobile Porta Pros checks setback and access requirements with you before the truck rolls, the same way we do for a temporary fence rental or a roll-off dumpster rental placed on a job site. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and a shower trailer needs comparable clearance plus a level pad. If your site sits inside city limits, review porta potty permit requirements and dumpster permit requirements for the general pattern Mobile follows on placement, then confirm the specifics directly with the city before you lock in a date.
Access matters as much as permits. ADA Standards section 403.5.1 sets a 36 inch minimum clear width for an accessible route, and section 404.2.3 requires a 32 inch clear door opening, both worth checking if the trailer serves the public rather than a closed crew. Pair that with an ADA accessible porta potty nearby if your event needs both showers and standard restrooms covered under the same accessibility plan. For general guidance on layout, the porta potty placement guide covers ground surface and clearance the same principles apply to trailers.
Because your crew needs to bathe, not just use a toilet, and that changes the plumbing and water demand entirely. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at all places of employment, which is the baseline reason disaster response crews and remote construction sites bring in a shower trailer instead of relying on a jug and a tarp. Sites already running a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental for OSHA 1926.51(c) sanitation compliance often add showers once a job stretches past a few days.
If the work involves paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities beyond basic handwashing, and a shower trailer covers that need directly. Farm crews doing hand labor fall under OSHA 1928.110, which calls for potable water, toilets and handwashing within a quarter mile walk of the work; see farm and agricultural restrooms for how that plays out on agricultural sites near Mobile. Construction crews juggling toilet counts under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) can pair a shower trailer with standard units sized correctly using how many porta potties do I need.
Mobile sits close to several communities that call in the same equipment. Crews working storm cleanup near Tillmans Corner, 10.4 miles southwest of Mobile, or Prichard, 11.3 miles north, often need the same trailer setup delivered on short notice. Theodore, 12.8 miles southwest, and Daphne, 16.8 miles east, see similar demand during hurricane season. Mobile Porta Pros covers all of it from the same fleet, so distance rarely adds a day to delivery.
Setup depends on the trailer size and whether the site has a water hookup ready. Most units are on-site and running within the same visit, once the pad is level and access clearance is confirmed. Ask Mobile Porta Pros for a site check before delivery day if you are not sure your ground is ready.
Yes, and event-length trailer rentals price differently than a standard weekly job, running from around 2,499 to 3,899 dollars depending on unit count and stall configuration. Weddings, festivals and multi-day races are the most common single-event bookings Mobile Porta Pros handles.
It needs both. Most trailers run on a standard hose bib connection and either shore power or an onboard generator. Mobile Porta Pros confirms your site's water pressure and electrical access during the quote call so nothing gets held up on delivery day.
That depends on headcount and shift length, similar to sizing standard toilets under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) ratios. A small crew of 20 or fewer usually manages with a 2 stall unit, while larger disaster response teams often need a full 8 stall trailer running in shifts.
Yes, every unit gets serviced and sanitized before it leaves the yard and again during multi-week rentals. Handwashing stations tied to the trailer follow 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device, since sanitizer alone does not meet that standard.
Yes. Mobile Porta Pros delivers shower trailer rental across Mobile and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
