Palo, 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 Palo and the towns around it. Life Support Service rounds out the camp with shower trailer rentals, shower-restroom combos, restroom trailers, laundry, mobile kitchens, dishwashing trailers, and emergency refrigeration. 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.

Before delivery
Three things to settle for Palo
Water and wastewater
No water line or sewer at the Palo site? Fresh-water tanks and wastewater hauling can be quoted with the trailer.
Accessibility
For guests, patients, or staff who need an accessible stall in Palo, plan an ADA combo with a ramp; ramp setup takes 4 to 6 hours.
Site access
A photo of the pad and the road in helps most. Tight gates and soft ground around Palo are easier to solve before the truck arrives.
