Bismarck Porta Pros rents shower trailers for work camps, disaster response, farm crews and multi-day events across Bismarck, ND. Units run from a single 800 dollar day rate up to a 3,899 dollar full event package, and delivery is scheduled around your site access. Most jobs book 5 to 10 days out.
A shower trailer is a self-contained restroom unit on wheels with its own water supply, water heater and drainage tank, so crews or guests get a real hot shower without plumbing into a building. Bismarck Porta Pros hooks each trailer to a water source and power on delivery, and the unit holds its own wastewater until pump-out. Think of it as the step up from a portable restroom rental when people need more than a toilet. Some jobs pair a shower trailer with a restroom trailer rental so showers and toilets sit in separate units, which keeps lines moving on big crews. Others run a single combo trailer.
Door openings and interior clearance matter more than people expect. ADA Standards section 404.2.3 sets minimum clear door width at 32 inches, and any accessible unit needs a 60 inch turning circle under ADA Standards section 304.3.1. If your crew includes workers with mobility needs, ask about pairing a shower trailer with an ADA accessible porta potty nearby rather than assuming the shower unit itself meets every standard. Floor surfaces inside and on the approach ramp need to stay stable and slip resistant per ADA Standards section 302.1, which matters a lot once wet feet are involved.
Because a standard unit does not include a shower, full stop. A standard porta potty rental covers toilet needs at 100 to 350 dollars a day depending on term, but crews working multi-day outdoor jobs, disaster response teams, and wedding guests staying on-site all need to actually clean up. A deluxe flushable porta potty closes some of that gap with flush function and a sink, running 85 to 1,200 dollars a day, but it still is not a shower.
Shower trailers make sense for longer stays: farm labor housing, oil and gas camps outside Bismarck, disaster relief deployments, and multi-day festivals. If you are weighing options for a wedding, check wedding restroom rental guidance first, since many wedding sites only need showers if guests are camping overnight. For agricultural crews, see farm and agricultural restrooms for how shower needs stack up against basic field sanitation under OSHA 1928.110, which sets one field sanitation facility per 20 hand-labor employees within a quarter mile walk.

Day rate spans wide because a single-stall unit and a multi-stall luxury trailer both fall in that band; a luxury restroom trailer with more stalls sits at the top end. Weekly pricing beats a string of daily rentals if your job runs more than four or five days. Delivery is billed separately and typically falls between 50 and 540 dollars depending on distance and timing, so ask Bismarck Porta Pros for a delivery quote alongside the trailer rate. If your event runs multiple days with heavy use, compare against a 4 stall restroom trailer or 8 stall restroom trailer to see if splitting shower and toilet functions costs less than one combo unit. For a broader cost breakdown across all restroom trailer types, see restroom trailer rental cost.
Placement depends on ground access and hookups, not just square footage. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and shower trailers need similar approach room since they arrive on a trailer chassis too. Bismarck Porta Pros checks your driveway or lot before delivery day so nobody is improvising around a fence line. If your site also needs a temporary fence rental for crowd control or security, coordinate the fence layout with trailer placement first, since fence panels can block the clearance a trailer needs to back in.
Water supply and drainage both need planning. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at any place of employment, and washing facilities need soap and towels or a hand-drying device under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), not just hand sanitizer. If your crew is applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) specifically requires washing facilities for that contaminant exposure. Sites near Mandan, 7.4 miles west of Bismarck, or Lincoln, 7.7 miles southeast, fall well within normal delivery range, as do jobs out toward Apple Valley, 9.2 miles east. For general placement rules that apply to any portable unit, see the porta potty placement guide, and if you are unsure whether your site sits in the public right of way, that needs confirming directly with the city before delivery.
Permit rules depend on where the trailer sits and how long it stays, and this varies by property type and placement. Bismarck Porta Pros can flag likely permit needs based on the job, but final confirmation runs through the city. Check porta potty permit requirements for the general framework that applies to most portable sanitation placements, and loop in your site contact early since permit timelines can affect your delivery date.
Setup usually takes under an hour once the trailer is on site, covering water hookup, leveling and power connection. Bismarck Porta Pros handles the technical hookup during delivery. Site prep on your end, like clearing the pad and confirming water access, should happen before the truck arrives.
Some units carry an onboard freshwater tank for short jobs without a hookup, but most multi-day rentals need a connection to keep up with demand. Ask Bismarck Porta Pros which trailer models in their fleet carry standalone tanks versus requiring a hose bib nearby.
Capacity depends on stall count and tank size, and a single-stall unit serves far fewer people daily than an 8-stall trailer. For crew sizing across an entire job site, check how many porta potties do I need, which covers ratio planning that also applies to shower demand.
No. A restroom trailer focuses on toilets and sinks, while a shower trailer adds a full shower stall with hot water. Many jobs rent both types together, especially longer work camps, rather than trying to combine every function into one trailer.
Daily rates make sense for one-off events under three days. Weekly rates drop the per-day cost significantly for longer jobs, which is why a 5-day farm crew job or disaster relief deployment almost always books by the week instead of stacking daily rates.
