A Painless Process For Construction Trailer Rental in Polk County

If you manage a growing job site then a construction trailer rental in Polk County is the ideal way to manage the temporary need for managers, architects and planners to convene. Aptera knows that when overseeing a construction site, there is real value in being just steps away from the work being done so you can manage any unexpected problems to avoid delays. In just three easy steps you will be ready to have your portable office trailer delivered the next day:

• Define your space needs - How many employees will need desks? Do you need an office/storage combo trailer? Do you need a conference table? These questions will help you choose between office trailer sizes that start at 20 ft (ground level container offices) up to construction trailers over 60 ft. and extra wide units. As your needs expand, you will enjoy comfort in knowing that a solution is just a phone call away when you need an another unit.
• Compare pricing - Comparing prices for office trailers in Des Moines is not as straightforward as you would think. Make sure that pickup/delivery fees are included. Does the cost include desks and furniture? Or taxes? Always look at the cost per square foot and how many amenities it includes even if you don’t think that you will need them.
• Prep for delivery - We recommend having the unit delivered at least one day prior to when you will start using it. This provides a cushion in case there is not enough space for the delivery truck, there are problems with electricity or it just takes more time than anticipated. Remember, it can take up to 3 hours to deliver, position, level and anchor a construction trailer upon delivery. Also make sure there is enough space for workers and equipment to pass by without interference and (most importantly) damaging the mobile office. A flat surface is ideal, but placement on graded surfaces is possible. Note: if you do not have a flat area large enough to place the trailer let the driver know at least one day in advance in case any additional supplies are needed during delivery.

Questions Answered:

How big are the construction trailers?

Smaller construction trailers are 20 ft x 8 ft and 40 ft x 8 ft. Larger sizes range up to 64 ft x 12 ft. However, the most important thing to remember is that they can be stacked on top of each other or set side by side to accommodate any size requirements. Tip: We recommend getting a construction trailer with 20% more room than you initially need. Most clients end up using more room than they expect for storage.

Are there any additional costs?

Other than the cost of the unit, you will only be charged pick up and delivery fee which typically start at $100 each way but will depend on your exact location. If you want take a construction trailer from one job site to another but don’t have the equipment to do so, this will usually cost the same as the delivery fee.

How secure are the units?

All units come with standard locks on doors (and windows if applicable). Container office trailers in Des Moines will typically include bars on windows and all steel construction to further prevent break ins. Optional security features include GPS and complete alarm systems that work in sync with systems you may already have on your construction site.

Yes, when renting a construction trailer in Polk County you will always need insurance and you have the option of buying additional damage waiver protection in case minor damage occurs. If you plan on purchasing, we recommend that you get additional coverage in addition to your general program.
