Contractors book them ahead for shutdowns and remote projects, while response teams call in emergencies when local lodging is gone. 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.

Questions
Questions we hear from Melcher-Dallas
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.
Q2Can you track the trailers while they're on my site?
GPS tracking is possible on request. Ask for it when you request your quote.
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.
Q4How many beds does a sleeper trailer hold?
Our 20 ft units come as shared labor rooms with bunk beds, contractor rooms, private VIP rooms, and one- and two-bedroom sleeper containers. The exact bed layout is confirmed with your quote.
Guides
Guides for planning in Melcher-Dallas
- 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.
