Colby has a transitional climate between humid continental and semiarid, with recorded extremes from 113 to -32 degrees Fahrenheit, and tornadoes, blizzards, summer storms, and long outages can disrupt a city of 5,570. Crews and families need showers, restrooms, and sleepers while repairs are made.
24/7 Emergency Remote Man Camp Basecamp leasing in Colby provides sleepers, showers, laundry, and restroom trailers on generator power.
Major History: Sod Houses and the Interstate
Homesteaders lived in sod houses in harsh conditions, creating demand for a town to provide lumber and provisions, and the Union Pacific reached Colby in 1887. Interstate 70 reached Colby in 1965, stimulating a local hospitality industry. Highway, rail, and farm contractors rent sleepers, combos, and laundry near the work.

Renovation: A WPA Hospital Becomes Apartments
In 1941 St. Thomas Hospital was built with Works Progress Administration funds, one of only two in Kansas, and in recent years it was renovated into apartments called St. Thomas Historic Residences. Other older buildings renovate in stages. A restroom trailer covers plumbing downtime, and a mobile kitchen trailer for lease in Colby keeps a site serving during work.

Planning a Trailer Site in Colby
Send us the address, dates, crew size, and a photo of the pad. For an interstate project we coordinate right-of-way access with the highway department. Our Portland, Oregon hub delivers into Kansas on request, and delivery is listed separately on the written quote. A written quote lists each unit and the delivery and setup.
Short-Term and Long-Term Leasing in Colby
Most Colby customers start with a week or a month and extend as the work runs. Longer terms are cheaper per unit: a 20ft accommodation unit is an estimated $2,995 for 1 to 6 days and an estimated $2,195 to $2,495 for three months or more. If your Thomas County project slips, tell us and we adjust the lease rather than pulling units. Delivery, setup, and pickup are quoted on their own line.
Permits and Site Considerations in Colby
Temporary trailers in Colby may need review by the city or Thomas County. Interstate rights-of-way involve the highway department, and food-service units are reviewed by health officials. We help you identify what your site needs before delivery.
Delivery, Setup, and Pickup in Colby
Our crew plans each Colby delivery around Interstate 70 and K-25. Plan on about an hour to set most units, about five hours for a kitchen or dish trailer, 5 to 15 minutes for stairs, and four to six hours for ramps. You get one schedule covering delivery, setup, servicing, and pickup in Thomas County. Worth knowing: winter weather and wind can change timing, so we carry chains.
Power, Water, and Wastewater Planning in Colby
Tell us what is on site in Colby and we match the plan to it. Shower containers need 120V/240V at 200 amps, laundry trailers 240V single phase at 200 amps, kitchens 220V single phase at 200 to 220 amps, and refrigerated trailers 220V at 40 to 60 amps. Where there are no hookups, generator trailers, water tanks, and greywater bladders with scheduled pump-outs make the camp self-sufficient.
A Preacher with a Patent
J.R. Colby, a land assessor and preacher, obtained the patent for the town in April 1884, and the town charter followed in 1885. The county seat designation came the same year and the city was incorporated in 1886. Town founding on the plains was quick, and a rented camp is the quick modern equivalent for a crew: placed in days and gone when the work ends.
The Hospitality Boom
Interstate 70 stimulated a hospitality industry in Colby after 1965, and hotels, restaurants, and truck stops grew around the interchange. Renovation of aging roadside properties needs temporary restrooms and a kitchen on site. We place units on approved ground and remove them when the work ends.
Scenario: A Roadside Hotel Renovation
Imagine a hotel closing two floors for a six-week renovation while the rest stays open. A restroom trailer for the crew, a shower trailer, and a small mobile kitchen on an approved lot, serviced twice weekly, would keep the project moving. That is the shower trailer lease in Colby we can plan from your headcount.
