Des Moines, Iowa Remote Workforce Housing and Bunk Bed Trailer Rentals
Remote workforce housing trailers with bunk bed rooms are available across Des Moines, delivered to your site. Life Support Service rounds out the camp with shower trailer rentals, shower-restroom combos, restroom trailers, laundry, mobile kitchens, dishwashing trailers, and emergency refrigeration. A remote build far from town, a season of resort staff, or a disaster recovery base: each is a reason to bring in temporary housing. Rent by the week for a short job or lease by the month for a long project. We work with contractors, oil, gas, and mining crews, ski-area and hospitality operators, healthcare and education facilities, and government sites. Delivery, setup, and pickup are planned with you before the trailers roll. Request availability or a quote, or call any time.

Local notes
What to know before renting in Des Moines
We cover past emergencies, construction, renovation, emergency access, and costs. Where a topic has no local source, it says so.
Recovery after an outage in Des MoinesGeneral guidance
When a storm or outage hits Des Moines, shelters and response crews need showers and restrooms before the building is back.
A combo trailer bridges the repair, quoted for your exact address.
For hazards and recovery news in Iowa, the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management is the official source.
Building projects in Des MoinesGeneral guidance
Road, utility, and plant projects between Windsor Heights and Pleasant Hill often put crews miles from a building.
A monthly lease on a combo trailer is usually simpler than daily portable service.
Major renovationGeneral guidance
Gyms, dorms, and correctional facilities around Des Moines can't skip showers during a remodel.
A shower-restroom combo near the work zone lets the rest of the building run normally until the new rooms open.
Emergency equipment accessGeneral guidance
We don't publish emergency routes into Des Moines; officials set those during an event.
Public emergency operations are run by the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management and local officials; our delivery is arranged separately with your site contact and quoted for your exact address in Des Moines.
Send a photo of the approach. In an emergency the fastest delivery is the one that doesn't get stuck at a soft shoulder or a locked gate.

Questions
Des Moines rental questions
Q1How 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.
Q2How fast can trailers be set up in Des Moines?
Most housing, shower, and restroom units are set up in about an hour once on site with utilities ready; kitchen and dish trailers take about 5 hours. Stairs add 5 to 15 minutes; a ramp takes 4 to 6 hours.
Q3What 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.
Q4Do you deliver workforce housing trailers in Des Moines?
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.

- 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.
