El Monte’s 5-Star Rated Temporary Multi-Station Shower Trailer Rentals

Yes, as long as the job is sized right, and since each room is metered the water lasts longer than most people expect. With a water hookup the supply never runs short, and when the 8-Station is self-contained it holds 200 gallons that we refill on your service schedule. If one trailer cannot cover your quitting-time rush, we will tell you up front and add a second unit.

Your quote depends on room count, rental length, service frequency, whether the site has water and power hookups, and how far we haul to the site. The rental covers the delivery truck, setup, stocking, service visits and the pickup at the end.

They come from us, since we deliver the trailer stocked with towels and soap and our crew returns on a set schedule to clean the rooms, restock supplies and pump the waste tank. On long jobs we plan visits around your shift times so the trailer is ready when people need it. Large camps can get more frequent visits, and you can always call our dispatch line if the schedule needs to change.

Wash water leaves the trailer through a sanitary sewer hookup or sits in the waste tank until our truck comes to pump it, and not a drop of it goes down a storm drain. How often we pump the 8-Station’s 950 gallon waste tank comes down to your head count and how long people stay in the shower. If the site has a septic connection, we tie into it, and the waste tank needs pumping less often.

A combo makes sense when your people need a toilet right next to the shower, or when work clothes get muddy, smoky or dusty on a multi-week job. The 4-Station Shower, Restroom and Laundry Combo has four private bathrooms, each with a toilet, sink, shower and outlet, plus a washer and dryer in a separate room. A small group that needs a toilet beside the shower can use the 2-Station, which fits two private bathrooms into an 11 foot trailer. The 8-Station is all showers with no toilets, so a large crew working in El Monte should have restroom trailers parked close by to serve everyone on site.

We line up 8-Station trailers side by side, each serving about 200 people a day on a hookup or refill schedule. We add accessible units for shelters and mixed groups, and we plan pumping, refills and cleaning as one schedule for the whole camp.

Park it on ground that is hard and flat, with a clear lane for our truck to reach the spot. Plan for 29 feet of box and 35 feet with the tongue, which is far more space than our smaller combos take. Look out for low branches, overhead lines, tight alleys and dirt that turns soft after winter rain, and know that we do a free site check before delivery and bring planks to level the trailer if needed.

Our 8-Station Private Shower Trailer is CAL FIRE approved, and we have worked with Cal Fire and the U.S. Forest Service. We are also a FEMA partner, which helps when an agency wants a vendor it already knows. Fire-camp contracts usually ask for clean units, soap and towels, hot and cold water, setup on the camp’s schedule and daily service, and we plan every camp that way.

It depends on the trailer. Crews working around El Monte can pick any of the 2-Station, 4-Station or Single-Station ADA combos and get a full private bathroom, with toilet, sink and shower behind one locking door. The 8-Station and the ADA + 2 Private Shower Trailer hold showers only, so if a big El Monte camp uses either of those two, parking restroom trailers right beside them saves everyone a long walk across the site.

Our smallest trailer is the Single-Station ADA Shower and Restroom Combo, and its roll-in shower comes with a seat and a wand for easy use. The 2-Station combo is the next size up, in an 11 foot box with 105 gallons of fresh water.

Often it can, but it depends on the spot, because placement on a public street usually needs a city permit and tight lots need careful measuring. Photos of the spot plus the address are enough for us to pick the right trailer and list what must be ready first.

Sizing goes wrong most often because of the figure people start with. A crew that finishes at the same moment lines up at the door, so the number that sets your room count is how many workers want a shower right then, not how many are on the payroll. A crew of 60 that quits all at once puts more load on a trailer than 120 people spread over three shifts, and once you start there the rest gets easy.

Write down your shift plan first, listing each shift, how many people are on it and when it ends. On a film shoot that is the wrap time, and on a construction job it is the end of each shift. At a fire camp or shelter it is the morning and evening waves, which can be two big spikes a day, and if shifts overlap you should count the overlap as one wave.

Next, set your floor. When a job requires showers, California’s ratio in Title 8 sets the minimum number of shower heads per shift, and we never plan below it. Most jobs that do not require showers still use the same math, since it keeps lines short. Then look at how dirty the work is, because concrete dust, smoke and asbestos cleanup mean longer showers, so add a room or two above the floor.

Now match rooms to trailers. For a handful of people, the Single-Station ADA Shower and Restroom Combo or the 2-Station combo covers it, and for crews up to about 30, the 4-Station Shower, Restroom and Laundry Combo has four private bathrooms, each with its own toilet. For bigger groups, the 8-Station Private Shower Trailer gives eight rooms and serves about 200 people a day on a hookup or refill schedule. Past that point we bring a second 8-Station and add more as the camp grows.

Plan for access from day one. If the job is public, mixed or includes anyone with limited mobility, include at least one accessible room. The ADA + 2 Private Shower Trailer has two standard rooms and one ADA room with a self-contained ramp, so one trailer covers both needs.

Do not forget toilets. Before you lock in a count, look at how long people will be staying, because a camp that lasts a few weeks needs a steadier plan for hot water than a one-night job. If your crew is large, we can quote the restroom trailers and the showers together, so one delivery covers both and nobody waits on a second truck.

Think about water and power while you size. When you supply the power for an 8-Station, plan on one 50 amp, 220 volt circuit to feed the whole trailer, while smaller units use 120 volt, 20 amp circuits. If your site has a water hookup and a sewer cleanout, the trailer can run all day without refills, and if not, we plan refill and pumping visits around your waves.

Once you have your shift list, call us, and we will check your math, suggest the trailer mix and tell you how we would schedule service. A quick call usually takes a few minutes and spares you problems on the first day.

Cal/OSHA Title 8, section 3366

El Monte packs about 109,000 people into less than 10 square miles, which means most job sites, shoot locations and outreach spots are paved lots, side streets and small pads, not open fields.

Start by measuring the spot, and leave extra room on the door side of the 8-Station so people can step in and out without crowding. Our 2-Station combo is an 11 foot box, which fits many corners where the larger trailer will not, so measure the open space and send us the numbers.

Check the path in, since the driver needs to pull in or back in with a truck and trailer. Look at gate widths, parked cars, tight turns, curbs and alleys. On older blocks near downtown and the Santa Fe Trail area, low tree limbs and overhead lines are the most common problem, and a photo of the path from the street helps us plan.

Look at the ground next, since a paved lot is the easiest place to set a heavy trailer. Dirt lots near the San Gabriel River and the Rio Hondo can turn soft after winter rain, and a heavy trailer sinks in soft ground. We bring planks and level the unit, but firm, flat ground is always better, so if you have a choice between two spots, pick the flatter one.

Find your hookups by noting where the nearest water spigot and sewer cleanout are, and whether you have a 50 amp, 220 volt circuit or standard 120 volt, 20 amp outlets. Hookups mean fewer service visits and no generator noise. If there is nothing on site, the trailer runs self-contained and we plan refills and pumping.

Think about the neighbors, because many jobs in El Monte sit right next to homes and people will notice a trailer. Face the doors away from the street when you can, keep the trailer off sidewalks, and plan service visits for reasonable hours. If the trailer has to sit on a public street, ask the city about a permit before the delivery date.

Plan where people will walk, keeping a clear, well-lit path between the work area and the trailer, away from forklifts, trucks and equipment. At night, a little lighting near the steps or ramp goes a long way.

Send it all to us. A few photos, the address and your measurements let our team do a free site check from the office, or in person when the site is tricky, and once we see the site we pick the trailer, mark where it goes and list what must be ready before we arrive.

When a crew comes in for a multi-week job, someone always asks whether it would be easier to book motel rooms and let people shower there. Sometimes it is, but more often showers on site save time and spare the crew a drive to a motel and back. Here is how to think it through without guessing.

Start with travel time. The 10, the 605 and the 60 all meet near El Monte, and traffic on them can be heavy at shift change. If people have to drive to a motel to clean up and then drive back, you lose time on both ends, while on-site showers let them clean up before they get in the car at all.

Look at the shift schedule, because night crews and split shifts do not line up with motel housekeeping or check-in times. A trailer on site is ready at three in the morning the same as at three in the afternoon, and for fire camps and around-the-clock warehouse work, that alone usually settles it.

Consider how dirty the work is, since crews coming off concrete, demolition, abatement or a smoky fire line should not carry that residue into their cars or rooms. Washing on site keeps it at the job.

Count the rooms you would need, since a motel room usually gives one shower to only one or two people. One 8-Station gives a whole crew eight private rooms in a single spot, which for a large crew is often simpler to manage than dozens of room keys.

Watch the calendar, because hotel rooms in the San Gabriel Valley fill up fast around big events, holidays and fire evacuations, when displaced families and responders take every room. A trailer you have already booked does not get bumped.

Some jobs use both, with out-of-town crews sleeping in motels while showering on site after work, which keeps cars and rooms clean. If your people also need a place to sleep on site, ask us about pairing showers with other trailers from our fleet.

Tell us your crew size, shift times and how long the job runs, and we will lay out what on-site showers would look like for you. You can compare it side by side with what you have now and pick what works.

Not every shower rental is the same, and the differences show up on day three, not day one. Seven plain questions will show you the difference between companies, so put them to each one, us included, before any paperwork is signed, and expect a good company to answer them in plain words right away.

Do you own the trailers?

Who services the trailer, and how often? Ask who comes out to clean, restock and pump, how the schedule is set and what happens if you need an extra visit.

What does the site need to provide? Ask about power, water and sewer, and what happens if you have none of them. A clear answer names the circuit, such as one 50 amp, 220 volt line for our 8-Station or 120 volt, 20 amp circuits for smaller units, and explains how self-contained operation works.

Is there an accessible option with a ramp? If the public, a shelter or a mixed group will use the showers, you need at least one ADA room. Every ADA unit in our fleet has a self-contained ramp, and our accessible units meet federal ADA requirements and California’s code.

Where does the greywater go? The right answer is a sanitary sewer connection or the waste tank, pumped by the rental company, and if anyone suggests a storm drain, you should walk away, because that is a violation and a mess you do not want on your job.

Is there a dry place to change inside each room? People want somewhere to set down clean clothes and a towel without them getting soaked, so ask what is in each room, not just how many shower heads there are.

Can you give me a certificate of insurance? Film permits in El Monte and many agency jobs require one, and we are licensed and insured and can provide paperwork for your permit. Call us with these questions, or any others, and get the answers before you commit.

Anyone who wants to read the federal accessibility guidance for themselves can find it published on ADA.gov, the website of the Department of Justice.

Showers are a year-round need around El Monte, but the calendar still shapes how a rental goes, since ground conditions, fire risk and big regional events all change from month to month. Planning around them makes setup easier and helps every service visit go smoothly.

Start with rain. El Monte gets about 18 inches of rain a year, and almost all of it falls in winter, roughly November through March. A paved lot does not care, but a dirt lot near the San Gabriel River, the Rio Hondo or the Whittier Narrows area can turn soft after a storm, and a heavy trailer needs firm, level ground. For winter jobs on dirt, plan a gravel pad or pick a paved spot.

Rain also affects service, because storms slow traffic on the 10 and the 605 and wet sites can be hard for a service truck to reach. If your site floods easily, tell us, and we will plan placement and visit times so pumping and refills keep going in bad weather.

Summer brings heat, not rain, and August highs in El Monte average about 87 degrees, with hotter spells inland.

Fire season does not follow one calendar anymore, and the Eaton Fire started in January, which most people would not call fire season. When a major fire breaks out in the San Gabriel Mountains, demand for shower trailers across the region jumps overnight, so if your project depends on showers, lock in your dates as soon as your schedule is firm.

Watch the event calendar too. The 2028 Olympic Games will bring venue work to the east valley in 2027 and 2028, with fencing, power and setup crews working long hours, and big events also fill local hotels, which pushes more crews toward on-site showers.

Film and construction work runs all year, but both have busy stretches, since film schedules shift with studio plans and construction often speeds up in dry months. If your project could slide, ask about flexible start dates when you book.

The simplest plan is to call when you know your dates, even if the details are still moving. We can hold a plan, adjust the trailer mix as your head count firms up and set placement around the season you are working in.
