Renting a handwashing station in South Suffolk runs on a simple setup: a self-contained unit with a 5 gallon fresh water tank, foot pump, soap dispenser and paper towels, no plumbing hookup needed. South Suffolk Porta Pros delivers them same week for job sites, food vendors and events across the city, and the same trucks handle portable sink rental orders and handwashing station rental refills on repeat routes.
A standard handwash station is a freestanding unit with a fresh water reservoir, a foot-pump or hand-crank pump, a soap dispenser and a paper towel holder built into the frame. Most run on a 5 gallon handwash station tank, enough for a crew of five to eight through a workday before it needs a refill, similar in scale to what we quote on the porta potty rental per day page. Some jobs call for a larger industrial handwash station with a bigger reservoir and multiple basins, useful for food trucks or crews doing painting and coating work. Under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), washing facilities are required specifically where employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, so a jobsite spraying finish needs a station within reach, not just a jug of sanitizer. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), the unit has to supply soap and towels or a hand-drying device; sanitizer alone doesn't satisfy it. We pair these units with standard porta potty rental and deluxe flushable porta potty setups often, and they show up standalone at farmers markets and food stalls too. If you're weighing a bradley handwash station against our foot-pump models, ask when you request a quote and we will walk you through what fits the crew size.
Pricing depends on unit size and how long you need it. A basic portable sink hand wash unit rents by the day, week or month, similar to how we structure a monthly porta potty rental, and delivery is billed separately based on distance and load.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | 100 | 150 | 300 |
| week | 30 | 60 | 220 |
| month | 100 | 150 | 300 |
Delivery fees on their own run from 50 dollars for a short weekly hop up to 500 dollars for a same-day rush delivery further out. If your site sits near Carrsville, 16.1 miles west of South Suffolk, or out toward Franklin, 23.8 miles west, factor that drive into your delivery window when you book. Bundling a handwash station with a portable restroom rental order usually keeps the delivery trip to one stop instead of two, which is worth asking about on the porta potty rental cost page too, or when you check service areas for your site.
Yes, if your crew size and work triggers it. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet ratios for construction sites: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, scaling up from there. That standard covers toilets, but a lot of general contractors pair a handwash station with every restroom bank anyway, since OSHA 1926.51(a) requires an adequate supply of potable water at every place of employment, and a foot-pump sink is the easiest way to deliver it curbside. Farm operations have their own rule: OSHA 1928.110 requires potable water, toilets and handwashing within a quarter mile walk for hand-labor employees, at one facility per 20 workers. That standard shows up often on the agricultural jobs we serve outside South Suffolk proper, including sites closer to Camptown, 19.8 miles west. Pair your handwash order with a construction site services package, a construction dumpster rental, or a temporary fence rental around the perimeter, and you cut down on separate delivery trips. If you are still sizing your crew's needs, the how many porta potties do I need guide walks through ratios in plain language, and the porta potty rental checklist covers what else to line up before delivery.
Put the handwash station sign at eye level on the unit itself, facing the main foot traffic path, so nobody has to hunt for it during a shift change. On food vendor sites we've set up in South Suffolk, the sign usually pairs with a small placard about handwashing steps, required by most health department vendor permits even though the placement rule itself isn't something we can quote without checking with the city first. If you are staging a stall at an event, look at our festival restroom rental, county fair restrooms, or wedding restroom rental pages for how sanitation stations typically cluster near food rows. Accessibility matters too: ADA Standards 213.2 requires that where portable toilet units are clustered, at least 5 percent, and never fewer than one, be accessible, and a nearby handwash station should sit on stable, firm, slip-resistant ground under ADA Standards 302.1. We handle that layout question on every event restroom rental job and on restroom trailer rental setups alike, and the porta potty placement guide covers general spacing rules if you want more detail before your event date.
A single 5 gallon handwash station comfortably covers five to eight people across a workday before the tank needs refilling. Larger industrial handwash stations with bigger reservoirs handle bigger crews. For anything past 20 workers, plan on a second unit, and check the how many porta potties do I need guide for ratio math.
Yes. Plenty of food vendors and small crews rent just the handwash station on its own. It still gets billed with a separate delivery fee, so bundling it with a portable toilet rental order, or an ADA accessible porta potty if you need one on site, on a larger job often saves a trip.
No. Standard units are self-contained with a fresh water tank and no plumbing connection needed. That is what makes them useful on remote sites and farmland, including spots well outside South Suffolk near Benns Church, 19.7 miles north.
Depends on crew size and use. A 5 gallon tank serving five to eight people typically needs a refill or service visit within the workday to a few days, matching the baseline weekly service interval under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for light-use units.
A handwash station has running water, soap and towels, satisfying 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which specifically says sanitizer does not meet that standard. A hand sanitizer station rental is a lighter-duty supplement, not a substitute, for jobs already covered by handwash units.
