How much does light tower rental cost in Burbank?
Pricing depends on fuel type, run time and how long you need the unit. Diesel towers cost more upfront but run longer between refuels; solar towers cost less to operate and suit sites near homes where noise matters. Portable light tower rental cost also depends on whether you need a light tower generator rental bundled in for sites with no other power source on the lot. Most contractors renting for a multi-week job pair a tower with a standard porta potty rental and a roll-off dumpster rental on the same delivery to save a trip. If you are budgeting a full site setup, our construction site services page breaks down what typically gets rented together, and the dumpster rental cost and porta potty rental cost pages show where a light tower fits into a weekly spend. Delivery for a tower runs alongside other equipment delivery fees, and OSHA 1926.56(a) sets minimum illumination levels for construction areas, which is the standard we size towers against when a foreman asks how many units a lot needs.
| item | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| delivery fee | 100-500 | 50-150 | 120-420 |
Why rent a light tower instead of running site lighting off a generator?
A dedicated tower is built for outdoor use, throws light in every direction, and does not tie up your main power source. Most towers mount on a trailer, tow behind a pickup, and set up in minutes on compacted ground. If your site already runs a generator for tools, a separate tower keeps lighting independent so a tripped breaker on the saw table does not kill your work lights. Sites running both power tools and lighting off one circuit risk overload; OSHA 1926.404(b)(1)(ii) requires ground fault circuit interrupter protection on construction sites, and keeping lighting on its own circuit makes that easier to manage. Night pours, overnight security on a storage container rental yard, and film production lots all lean on towers for this reason. Burbank hosts a fair number of film set restroom rental jobs, and lighting crews on those sets often rent towers from us the same week they book restrooms and temporary fence rental to secure the perimeter.
Where can I get a light tower delivered near me in Burbank?
We deliver towers throughout Burbank and into nearby cities on the same routes we run for portable restrooms and dumpsters. West Hollywood sits about 10.2 miles south, Beverly Hills about 12.0 miles southwest, and Culver City about 23.1 miles south, so a single delivery day often covers a Burbank site plus a stop in one of those cities. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and the same clearance guideline applies when a tower rides in on a similar trailer, so clear the drop zone before the driver arrives. If you are running a longer job, check our service areas page to confirm we cover your site, and see porta potty rental in Burbank for how we handle multi-unit deliveries in the city. Event organizers booking a festival restroom rental or concert restroom rental package for an evening event usually add a tower or two once they realize load-in runs past sunset.
Do I need a permit for a light tower on a Burbank job site?
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. If your tower sits on private property or an active construction lot, that is usually straightforward, but curb, sidewalk or street placement is a separate question. Check with the city and see our porta potty permit requirements page for how we handle similar placement questions on other equipment.
How long can I rent a light tower for?
As long as your job runs. Day rentals suit a single night shoot or emergency callout; week and month terms suit ongoing construction. Renters combining a tower with a 10 yard dumpster rental or 20 yard dumpster rental usually match the rental terms so everything picks up on the same day.
Solar or diesel, which should I pick?
Solar suits quieter sites and shorter nights; diesel runs longer and works in low-sun weeks. Both mount the same way and need the same clear, level ground. Ask us which fits your site when you call, since job length and noise limits usually decide it.
Can a light tower run off the same power as my tools?
It can, but a separate circuit is safer. OSHA 1926.404(b)(1)(ii) requires GFCI protection on construction circuits, and splitting lighting from tools reduces the chance one overloaded circuit cuts your light.
What else do Burbank job sites usually rent with a light tower?
Most sites pair it with standard porta potty rental, a dumpster, and sometimes temporary fence rental for perimeter security overnight. Bundling delivery saves a trip and keeps one point of contact for the whole site.
