Portable Hand Washing Station Rental
Freestanding sinks with fresh water and foot pumps — needed wherever food is served, handled or prepared on site.
What It Is
A portable handwashing station is a freestanding sink that carries its own fresh water and catches its own greywater. Most units are foot-pump operated so nothing is touched by hand, and serve two or more people at once.
The common trigger for renting one is food. Health requirements for temporary food events generally call for handwashing facilities wherever food is served, handled or prepared — which covers food trucks, markets, festivals and catered private events.
Why It Works
Genuine handwashing, not sanitizer
Soap and running water, which is what food-handling requirements generally call for. Sanitizer alone does not substitute.
Hands-free operation
Foot-pump taps mean nothing is touched by hand between washing and drying.
Self-contained
Onboard fresh water and greywater capture mean no plumbing connection is needed.
Serves several people at once
Multi-bay units keep queues down at peak times without a second location.
Who It Is For
- Food trucks, markets and food festivals.
- Catered events and private parties serving food.
- Construction and trade crews handling materials.
- Agricultural and landscaping operations.
- Any site where restrooms lack running water.
What To Know
Water capacity is finite
The onboard tank limits how many washes a station supports before it needs refilling. Give an honest attendance estimate so capacity is sized properly.
Place them where food is
A station at the restrooms serves a different purpose from one at the food line. Events serving food generally want both.
Check your event's health requirements
Temporary food event requirements vary by county in North Carolina. Confirm what your local health department requires when you apply for your permit.
