Yakima Porta Pros runs a portable light tower rental fleet built around diesel light tower rental and solar light tower rental units, with delivery fees on our mobile light tower rental jobs starting around $100 a day. Diesel towers run brighter for longer stretches; solar units skip the fuel runs entirely. Most jobs pair a light tower generator rental with temporary power or fencing delivered the same trip.
Portable light tower rental cost depends on tower type, fuel, and how long you need it running. A diesel tower on a construction site for a week costs more than a weekend rental at a Yakima festival, but less per day than a one-off delivery. Ask about bundling with roll-off dumpster rental or storage container rental since most crews order both for the same site.
| item | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| delivery fee | 100-500 | 50-150 | 120-420 |
| service fee | 100-300 | 30-220 | 100-300 |
These are delivery and service bands from our pricing data, not the tower rate itself. A dispatcher can quote the tower line once they know diesel or solar, run time, and site access. If you are also planning portable restroom rental for the same job, ask for one combined quote so delivery fees do not stack twice.
OSHA 1926.56(a) sets minimum illumination levels for construction areas, and that standard is the reason most general contractors in Yakima order a tower before a night pour or an early winter shift. Low light also creates housekeeping hazards under OSHA 1926.25, since scrap and debris get missed in the dark. A tower solves both: it lights the work and it lights the walk path back to the porta john or handwashing station.
Sites running saws, generators or GFCI-protected circuits under OSHA 1926.404(b)(1)(ii) also want the tower positioned clear of cords and standing water. We walk the site with the crew lead before drop-off. A roll-off dumpster placement and a light tower placement often compete for the same flat pad near the trailer, so we plan both at once. Barricades around a tower footprint should meet ANSI D6.1 per OSHA 1926.202 if the unit sits near foot traffic or a public sidewalk.
Diesel towers push more lumens and run longer between refuels, which suits a multi-week Yakima construction job with night shifts. Solar towers work better for quieter sites, events, or locations where fuel delivery is a hassle. Both mount on the same trailer footprint, so site prep is nearly identical either way. A mobile office trailer or storage container nearby often shares the same generator run, so tell your dispatcher what else is drawing power on site.
Event organizers running a festival, a concert, or a wedding after dark usually pick solar for the quiet operation near guests. Farms and orchards outside town, from Ahtanum 5.4 miles southwest to Selah 7.5 miles north, often go diesel because the equipment already runs on fuel and there is no grid tie nearby. If the job includes farm and agricultural restrooms, we can drop both on one route.
Placement in a right-of-way or on a public street needs confirming with the City of Yakima before delivery; we have not verified a specific ordinance for towers and will not guess one. If the tower sits fully on private property, it is usually a non-issue. Ask us and we will help you check before the trailer rolls.
Day, week, and month terms are all available, and delivery and service fees scale with the term you pick, as shown in the table above. Weekend rates apply for short events like a golf tournament or a marathon. Longer jobs, like month-long builds, get a lower blended rate.
Diesel towers need periodic refueling depending on run hours and tank size; solar towers do not. We will size the tower and refuel schedule to your shift length during the walkthrough. Solar is the lower-maintenance pick for remote sites.
Yes. Most Yakima crews order a tower alongside temporary fencing, a dumpster, or a restroom trailer in one delivery run to save on separate delivery fees.
We deliver to Yakima and nearby towns including Gleed at 6.5 miles northwest, Terrace Heights at 6.7 miles east, and Summitview at 5.9 miles west. Check service areas or request a quote for your address.
