Ely, Iowa Crew Housing and Bunk Bed Trailer Leasing
Need beds for a crew in Ely? We lease bunk bed sleeper containers and accommodation units for remote workforce housing. The rest of a remote basecamp comes from the same quote: separate shower trailers, shower and restroom combos, restroom trailers, laundry trailers, commercial kitchen and dishwashing trailers, and refrigeration trailers for emergency cold storage. Crews use them through drilling programs, mine expansions, and long builds, while agencies call after a wildfire or flood displaces responders and residents. 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.

Ely: emergencies, projects, access, and costs
We cover past emergencies, construction, renovation, emergency access, and costs. Where a topic has no local source, it says so.
Emergencies and repairsGeneral guidance
Facilities in a small town tend to discover their backup plan for showers the night a pipe bursts.
A shower-restroom combo keeps people clean while the building is repaired.
Check the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management for declared emergencies and recovery resources.
Construction crews and job sitesGeneral guidance
Contractors bidding work near Swisher tend to price sanitation late; it is easier to settle on day one.
On an Ely job site, size restroom and shower stalls to the peak shift, not the day's total.
Renovations that close restrooms in ElyGeneral guidance
A renovation that takes showers offline for weeks is the most predictable rental there is.
ADA combos cover the accessible stall the closed room had.
Emergency equipment accessGeneral guidance
We don't publish emergency routes into Ely; 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 by distance from Cedar Rapids, IA, about 10 straight-line miles to the north.
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.

Guides
Read before you book in Ely
- 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.

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.
