What Is a Shower Trailer Rental?
A shower trailer is a self-contained trailer with private stalls, running water and drainage, built for job sites, disaster response, camps and events where there is no working bathhouse. Eau Claire Porta Pros stocks units that pair with our restroom trailer rental line, so you can order showers and toilets together for one delivery. Most jobs pull from our 2 stall restroom trailer or 4 stall restroom trailer footprint when showers are added on, and bigger crews step up to the 8 stall restroom trailer if bathroom and shower demand overlap. Pricing sits in the trailer band of our restroom trailer rental cost guide: day rates start around $175, event flat rates run $2,499 to $3,899, and weekend bookings commonly land between $900 and $3,000. A grease interceptor pump-out schedule does not apply here, but if your site also runs a kitchen tent, that fats-oils-grease threshold matters for a separate grease trap pumping visit. We deliver into Eau Claire proper and out to Altoona, 5.1 miles southeast, and Chippewa Falls, 11.1 miles northeast, on the same routes we use for our porta potty rental fleet.
Why Rent a Portable Shower Trailer Instead of Standard Units?
Standard portable toilets, even our deluxe flushable porta potty line, do not include a shower stall. If your crew works multi-day outdoor jobs, or your event runs a full weekend, a mobile shower trailer keeps people clean without sending them home. Disaster response teams lean on shower trailers heavily too. Our disaster relief sanitation page covers how we stage units fast when a community needs water access restored. Construction crews on longer builds often combine a shower trailer with construction site services like a temporary power pole and a light tower rental so the trailer runs after dark. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at all places of employment, and a shower trailer with its own fill tank satisfies that standard even in a spot with no hookup. For toilet counts on the same site, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the ratio at one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer. Farms running seasonal labor crews have their own rule: OSHA 1928.110 calls for field sanitation, including potable water and handwashing, within a quarter mile walk of hand-labor employees, which our farm and agricultural restrooms service is built around.
How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Shower Trailer Near Me?
| Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day | $175 | $800 | $2,500 |
| Week | $150 | $1,397 | $1,650 |
| Weekend | $900 | $2,000 | $3,000 |
| Event flat rate | $2,499 | $3,500 | $3,899 |
Day rentals fit a single work shift or a quick event add-on. Week-long rentals suit a construction crew camped on-site through a full build phase, and the event flat rate covers festivals, weddings or multi-day races where guests need showers on hand the whole time. A delivery fee applies on top of the trailer rate, and that separate charge runs from $100 to $500 depending on distance and access, per our measured delivery data. If your event needs restrooms alongside the showers, check our event restroom rental page, and if it is specifically a wedding, our wedding restroom rental guide walks through pairing a shower trailer with a nicer restroom unit. Compare against straight toilet rental costs on our porta potty rental cost and porta potty rental per day pages before you decide what your site actually needs.
Where Can You Deliver a Shower Trailer in Eau Claire?
We deliver anywhere in Eau Claire and into the towns we already service regularly: Seymour, 3.5 miles east, Lake Hallie, 8.1 miles northeast, and Menomonie, 24.3 miles west. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city, so check with the City of Eau Claire before you plan curbside delivery for a street event. A roll-off delivery, by comparison, needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and shower trailers need similar clear approach and level ground to set up safely. If your site also needs debris hauled off during setup or teardown, pair the shower trailer order with a roll-off dumpster rental or check dumpster permit requirements first. Sites near Chippewa Falls or Altoona sometimes run trailer and fencing together, which is where our temporary fence rental page and crowd control barrier rental page come in handy for keeping foot traffic organized around the unit.
Do shower trailers need an accessible unit?
If you are running an event open to the public, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units be accessible, with a minimum of one. Pair your shower trailer order with our ADA accessible porta potty unit to stay compliant, and see ADA restroom requirements for the full standard.
How many shower stalls do we need for our crew?
It depends on crew size and shift length, but most short-term construction jobs do fine with a 2 to 4 stall trailer. Use our how many porta potties do i need guide as a starting point, then call to size the shower count separately.
Can a shower trailer run without a water hookup?
Yes. Our trailers carry a self-contained fresh water tank and holding tank, so they work on sites with no plumbing nearby. We fill and service the unit on our regular route the same way we handle septic pumping service stops.
Do you deliver shower trailers for weddings and events?
Yes, and weekend rates typically run in the $900 to $3,000 range depending on stall count and trailer finish. See luxury restroom trailer options if you want a nicer interior for a wedding venue.
What is the difference between a shower trailer and a shower station?
A shower trailer has enclosed private stalls with plumbing built in. A basic handwashing station rental or portable sink rental only handles hands, not full showers, so they serve a different need on the same site.
