A portable light tower rental in Lexington runs a diesel unit with four 1,000-watt metal halide heads on a telescoping mast, tall enough to light a full acre of laydown yard or parking area. A solar light tower rental is the quieter alternative for sites that don't want a generator running all night. Lexington Porta Pros pairs mobile light tower rental units with the rest of a jobsite setup, from fencing to sanitation, so one call covers the lot.
Portable light tower rental cost depends on run time, fuel type and how long you need the unit on site. Light tower rental rates track closely with other equipment rentals on the same job. Most jobsites budget it alongside other equipment rentals, the same way they'd price a temporary power pole or a stretch of chain link temporary fence for the same perimeter. Diesel towers cost more upfront than solar but run longer between refuels, which matters on a Lexington site working past dusk through winter. Ask about delivery when you request a quote, since drop-off and pickup get billed separately from the unit itself, similar to how dumpster rental cost works with its own delivery line.
| service | typical range |
|---|---|
| delivery fee, day rate | $100 to $500 |
| delivery fee, weekly rate | $50 to $150 |
| delivery fee, monthly rate | $120 to $420 |
Longer terms bring the per-day cost down, the same pattern you'll see on our porta potty monthly rental page. A four-week highway project and a three-day concert setup get billed on completely different schedules, so tell us the job length up front.
A diesel light tower rental gives you more lumens and longer unattended run time, which is why most construction site services crews default to them for night pours, paving and earthwork. A solar light tower rental works well for quieter sites like film set restroom rental locations or a county fair restrooms footprint where noise and fuel storage are a concern. A generator-powered diesel tower also needs GFCI protection on its circuits under OSHA 1926.404(b)(1)(ii), the same standard that governs temporary power hookups on any active jobsite. If your site already runs a light tower generator rental for other equipment, ask whether one unit can share load with your light tower rental instead of running two separate generators.
Lexington Porta Pros delivers light towers across Lexington and out to the towns we already serve regularly, including Nicholasville 15.3 miles southwest, Versailles 15.7 miles west, Paris 17.0 miles northeast and Winchester 18.0 miles east. Delivery clearance matters here too. A roll-off truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it, and a light tower delivery on the same trailer setup benefits from that same open approach. Good illumination levels matter for safety under OSHA 1926.56(a), which sets minimum lighting intensities by area type on construction sites, so placement isn't just about reach, it's about coverage across the whole active zone. Check our service areas page for the full list of towns we cover from Lexington.
Day, week and month terms all work. Short jobs like a weekend wedding restroom rental setup or a multi-week roll-off dumpster rental project both get quoted on the schedule that fits, with per-day pricing dropping as the term stretches out.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. Check our porta potty permit requirements page for how we walk through that process on similar equipment, and ask us directly if your site touches a sidewalk or street.
An acre-plus site working overnight usually needs two or more towers for even coverage. Pair that with a headcount check against OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) for toilet ratios, since a bigger crew working longer hours needs both more light and more facilities.
Yes. Most Lexington sites run a tower next to a construction dumpster rental, a storage container rental for tools, and a standard porta potty rental or two for the crew, all on one delivery schedule.
Shorter daylight hours in winter cut into a solar tower's recharge window, so diesel is the steadier choice for that season. See porta potty in winter for how cold weather affects other rental equipment on site.
