Kirkland Porta Pros rents diesel and solar light towers for construction sites, night paving, and outdoor events, with delivery generally scheduled within a day or two depending on your site and access. Most jobs need one to four towers depending on the footprint, and a typical standard delivery fee runs 100 to 500 dollars depending on distance and timing. Call ahead for tight timelines, especially around evening events near downtown Kirkland.
Light tower rates depend on fuel type, run time, and how long you need the unit on site. A diesel light tower rental runs longer between refuels than a solar light tower rental, but solar units skip the fuel cost entirely and work well where noise matters, like a residential block near a home renovation porta potty job. Delivery is its own line item, separate from the unit rate, and it scales with distance and site access. If you are building a broader site budget, our construction site services page walks through how lighting, fencing, and sanitation costs stack together. For jobs already running a roll-off dumpster rental or temporary fence rental, bundling delivery trips with the light tower often saves a trip charge. Ask about weekly and monthly rates if the job runs past a few days, since per-day pricing adds up fast on longer projects.
Placement in the public right of way, or anywhere near a sidewalk or street, needs confirming with the city before delivery. We have not verified a specific Kirkland ordinance for light tower placement, so treat this like you would dumpster permit requirements or porta potty permit requirements: call the city first, then call us. Job sites already coordinating a temporary power pole or a storage container rental usually run all three approvals at once, which saves a second round of paperwork. If your site sits within Kirkland's core near retail or residential zoning, expect more scrutiny on noise and glare than a site out toward Bothell, 6.1 miles north, or Woodinville, 7.8 miles northeast.
Most construction light tower rental jobs use a standard diesel unit for general area lighting, sized to the work zone rather than the crew count. OSHA sets minimum illumination intensities for construction areas by task type under 1926.56(a), so a paving crew working after dark needs more light than a fenced storage yard. Pair the light tower with a light tower rental delivery and a mobile office trailer rental if the crew needs a lit staging area too. Sites also running GFCI-protected power tools under 1926.404(b)(1)(ii) should keep the light tower's generator circuit separate from tool circuits where possible. A 60 foot straight clearance behind a roll-off truck is a good rule of thumb for site access planning generally, and the same clearance thinking applies to positioning a light tower trailer without blocking a construction dumpster rental pickup lane.

Pricing above is for reference on jobs that typically pair with a light tower rental, since Kirkland Porta Pros does not publish light tower rates in this table. Ask for a written quote on the request a quote page.
Book as early as you can once you have a start date, especially for evening events or paving jobs with a hard deadline. Night work near Kenmore, 5.5 miles northwest, or events downtown often compete for the same units in peak season.
Yes. Weekend rentals work for festivals, markets, and outdoor weddings. Pair it with an event restroom rental or wedding restroom rental so lighting and restrooms arrive on the same delivery.
It depends on load and hours of darkness. Solar units suit lower-draw applications and noise-sensitive areas; diesel handles longer, higher-output runs better across a full night shift.
Yes, diesel units come with the generator built into the tower. For separate power needs, ask about a temporary power pole alongside the light tower.
They are usually the same unit. The generator powers the light heads and mast; "light tower generator rental" just describes the combined equipment most crews rent as one piece.
