Algona, Iowa Crew Housing and Bunk Bed Trailer Leasing
Nolan's Workforce Housing & Trailer Rentals delivers bunk bed sleeper trailers and remote man camp housing to Algona and the towns around it. As Life Support Service, we pair the housing with shower trailers, shower-restroom combination trailers, standalone restroom trailers, laundry trailers, mobile kitchen trailers, dishwashing trailers, and emergency refrigeration for the day a walk-in cooler fails. Crews use them through drilling programs, mine expansions, and long builds, while agencies call after a wildfire or flood displaces responders and residents. Both short-term weekly rentals and long-term monthly leases are available. Energy companies, mines, contractors, agencies, and resorts rent from us; homeowners don't. We coordinate delivery, leveling, and water, power, and waste hookups with your site team. Call 24/7 or request availability and a quote.

Emergency and recovery needsGeneral guidance

A shower-restroom combo keeps people clean while the building is repaired.
Official hazard updates come from the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management.

On an Algona job site, size restroom and shower stalls to the peak shift, not the day's total.
Major renovationGeneral guidance
A hotel or care home between Irvington and Sexton that closes guest bathrooms for a remodel still has guests to serve.
A shower-restroom combo near the work zone lets the rest of the building run normally until the new rooms open.

Guides
Read before you book in Algona
- Sizing a Remote Workforce Housing Camp: OSHA 1910.142 OSHA's temporary labor camp standard turned into a rental order: square feet per bed, bunk spacing, shower heads, toilets, and laundry tubs per person. It is written for energy, mining, and construction contractors and for agencies planning a remote man camp, so the order for bunk bed sleeper trailers, shower trailers, and laundry trailers matches the headcount before the first shift arrives.
- Colorado Workforce Housing Trailer Rental Guide What changes when a remote crew camp goes in at Colorado elevations: cold nights, winter access over passes, and small towns where one project can fill every room. It walks through bunk bed sleeper trailers, shower and laundry trailers, and mobile kitchens for Western Slope energy work, high-country mining, ski-town seasonal staff, and eastern plains projects, with the National Weather Service offices that cover each part of the state.
- Emergency Workforce Housing After a Wildfire or Flood A checklist for agencies, utilities, and contractors who need to house responders and recovery crews after a wildfire or flood. It covers the headcount, the site, utilities, and the order of trailers for a temporary camp of bunk bed sleepers, shower trailers, laundry, and kitchens, with Ready.gov and OSHA guidance on working safely through response and recovery.

Questions
Questions we hear from Algona
Q1What utilities does a camp need?
Electricity, water, and wastewater handling. Sites without hookups can use water tanks and a generator; tell us what the site has.
Q2How do I size a remote crew camp?
OSHA's temporary labor camp rule (29 CFR 1910.142) is a useful baseline: at least 50 square feet of sleeping floor space per occupant, one shower head for every 10 persons, and one laundry tray or tub for every 30. Tell us the headcount and we size beds, showers, and laundry together.
Q3Do you deliver workforce housing trailers in Algona?
Yes. Delivery timing and cost depend on your exact address, the units, and site access, and both are confirmed in your quote. Trailers are delivered to your site.
Q4Can I get emergency housing for responders?
Yes, call any hour. We confirm which units can reach you, check utilities, and give a delivery time once availability is confirmed.
