Thornton Porta Pros rents shower trailers for job sites, disaster response and multi-day events, with private stalls, hot water and standard 120-volt hookups available on most units. Rates run from a per-day rate up to full week and event pricing depending on trailer size. Call ahead, because shower trailers move faster than restroom units during storm season.
A shower trailer is priced by the day for short jobs or by the week and event rate for anything longer, and the spread is wide because stall count and hookup type change the number fast. A small single-stall unit costs a lot less than an 8-stall trailer with a water heater and pump system built in. Multi-day festivals and disaster response contracts usually land in the event pricing tier, since crews need the trailer parked and running for a full week or more without a daily renewal. If you're comparing a restroom trailer rental against a shower unit, know that shower trailers carry their own separate pricing because of the water heating and pump load.
| duration | low | typical | high |

| week | 150 | 1397 | 1650 |

A weekend rental for a shower trailer typically runs between $900 and $3000 depending on trailer size and whether a generator is needed onsite. Thornton crews running a weekend build often pair a shower trailer with a 4 stall restroom trailer to keep water use and waste use separated.
Most shower trailers need a level pad, a water source and either shore power or a generator, and Thornton Porta Pros walks the site before delivery to confirm all three. Water can come from a hose bib or a filled tank, but a running water line makes multi-day use far easier than tank refills. Power matters most: a trailer with a full water heater and multiple stalls often calls for something closer to 200 amp service, while a smaller single-stall unit runs fine off a standard household circuit or small generator. If your site already runs a temporary power pole, tell the crew before delivery so cable runs get planned correctly.
Ground matters too. The trailer needs a flat, stable spot, similar to the leveling any 8 stall restroom trailer needs, and a gravel or paved pad works better than soft dirt after rain. Thornton sees enough spring runoff that a soft yard in April can bog down a delivery truck, so confirm ground condition ahead of the appointment. Access matters for delivery too: give the driver a clear path in, since a tight gate or narrow alley can turn a fifteen-minute drop into an hour.
A shower trailer solves a different problem than a standard porta potty rental: it gets workers or evacuees clean, not just relieved. Disaster relief crews, wildland fire camps and long-duration construction jobs all need actual bathing, not just toilet access, and a standard unit was never built for that. Film sets and multi-week events lean on shower trailers too, since cast and crew staying onsite for 10 to 14 hours a day need more than a portable toilet and a handwashing station rental can offer.
OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at all places of employment, and a shower trailer with a working water line satisfies that need better than jugs and coolers. Where paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides are part of the job, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for exposed workers, and a shower trailer covers that requirement more completely than a sink alone. For jobs where handwashing is enough on its own, a portable sink rental may cover the requirement at a lower cost, so match the unit to the actual exposure on your Thornton site.
Placement depends mostly on ground condition, access for the delivery truck and how far the trailer sits from your water and power source, and Thornton Porta Pros checks all three before confirming a delivery window. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and a shower trailer delivery needs a similar approach, so a blocked driveway or narrow alley can delay a job. If your event or job site sits near Northglenn, 3.0 miles west of central Thornton, or out toward Brighton, 11.3 miles east, tell dispatch the cross streets early so the route gets planned right.
Sites running multiple services at once, like a construction yard with a temporary fence rental around the perimeter and a light tower rental for early starts, should map out where the shower trailer sits relative to foot traffic and power runs. ADA Standards section 405.2 caps ramp slope at 1:12, which matters if your shower trailer includes an accessible stall with a ramp entry. Check the porta potty placement guide for general layout thinking, since the same access and drainage rules that apply to toilets apply here too.
Stall count depends on crew size and shift length, not just headcount. A small crew of ten working an eight-hour shift often does fine with a single or double stall unit, while a 40-person disaster relief camp or multi-day festival needs a larger trailer. Ask about your specific crew size before booking, since ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 service intervals change with heavier daily use.
Some do, some don't. Smaller single-stall trailers often run off standard household power, while larger multi-stall units with full water heaters draw closer to 200 amp service and need a generator or heavier shore power hookup. Confirm your trailer's draw before your Thornton site visit so power is ready on delivery day.
Anywhere from a single day to a multi-week event. Daily rates fit short jobs, weekly rates fit construction runs, and event pricing covers festivals, film sets or disaster response contracts that need the trailer parked and running continuously. Check monthly porta potty rental for how longer-term commitments get priced across unit types.
Cold matters. Water lines and tanks need protection once temperatures drop, similar to concerns covered in porta potty in winter. Ask about heated trailers or insulated tank options if your Thornton rental runs through the colder months, since a frozen line shuts the whole unit down.
A restroom trailer, like the 2 stall restroom trailer or luxury restroom trailer options, handles toilets and sinks. A shower trailer is built specifically for bathing, with stalls, drains and water heating sized for that use. Many sites rent both together to cover full hygiene needs during long jobs or events.
