How much does light tower rental cost?
Pricing depends on fuel type, run time and how long you need the unit on site. A diesel tower with standard delivery runs alongside our portable toilet rental and roll-off dumpster rental packages, since most night construction jobs in Tempe Junction order all three together. Delivery itself is billed separately from the light tower and follows the same fee structure used across our service areas footprint.
| item | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| delivery fee | 100-500 | 50-150 | 120-420 |
| service fee | 100-300 | 30-220 | 100-300 |
Ask about weekend jobs too: a weekend delivery fee typically lands near 200 dollars, separate from the tower rate itself. If you are budgeting a full project, our dumpster rental cost and porta potty rental cost pages break down the rest of a typical site package.
Do I need a diesel or a solar light tower?
Diesel towers run longer without a refuel and handle heavy nighttime paving or demolition work better than solar units. Solar towers work fine for lower-draw jobs like fenced storage yards or overnight security lighting, and they pair naturally with a temporary fence rental around a closed lot. OSHA 1926.56(a) sets minimum illumination intensities for construction areas, and that standard is one reason contractors size up rather than down when ordering a light tower for an active site. If your crew is also applying coatings or sealants under those lights, remember that washing facilities are required under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) whenever paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides are part of the work, not just as a general courtesy station.
A mobile light tower rental makes sense for a site that moves week to week, like a road crew working section by section through Tempe Junction. A stationary diesel unit fits better on a fixed footprint, like a construction site services package anchored at one address for months. Either way, GFCI protection under OSHA 1926.404(b)(1)(ii) still applies to any temporary power you're running off or near the tower, so check your cord runs before crews start each shift.
Where can I get a light tower delivered near me?
Delivery covers Tempe Junction and reaches out to Paradise Valley 15.8 miles north and Sun Lakes 16.9 miles south, which is typical range for a same-week job. If your site sits further out, toward Maricopa Colony 18.9 miles west or Goodyear Village 19.0 miles south, tell us up front so we can route the truck efficiently. Just like a roll-off dumpster rental delivery, a light tower delivery truck needs clear straight-line access, generally about 60 feet behind the unit, to place it without backing through a tight lot.
We also stock towers for special events. A festival restroom rental order or a concert restroom rental booking for an evening show often adds a tower or two for parking areas and walkways. Film crews doing night shoots use the same setup; check our film set restroom rental page for how those packages come together. For long-term jobs, a mobile office trailer rental or storage container rental on site usually gets its own tower for security lighting after crews leave.
How many light towers does a construction site need?
It depends on the site's layout and OSHA's illumination intensity requirements under 1926.56(a) for the specific area being lit. A single acre lot with one active work zone often needs just one tower; a multi-phase site spread across several zones needs more. Ask us for a walk-through estimate before ordering.
What fuel type is standard on a diesel light tower rental?
Most units run on diesel with an onboard tank sized for extended overnight runs without a refuel stop. Exact tank size varies by unit, so confirm run-time with our dispatch team when booking your construction light tower rental for a multi-night job.
Can I rent a light tower for just a weekend event?
Yes. Weekend rates apply for short events like a wedding restroom rental setup or a golf tournament restrooms package needing evening lighting. Delivery and pickup both happen within the event window, so there's no long-term commitment for a one-time event.
Does a solar light tower need a generator hookup?
No. Solar towers charge through daytime sun exposure and store power for nighttime use, so they need no diesel generator or external power hookup. They work well for lower-draw applications like lighting around a temporary fence rental perimeter.
How far in advance should I book a light tower?
Book as early as possible, especially for weekend events or multi-week construction jobs. Availability tightens during peak building season in Tempe Junction, so reach out through our request a quote page as soon as your site dates are set.
