Event Portable Toilets with Easy Delivery

Event portaloo hire is the best way to make sure your guests are happy and healthy. Things can get out of hand pretty fast if you don’t have the right facilities! That’s why we make portaloo hire for events super simple. Whenever you hire a portaloo from Poles and Holes, we’ll take care of the delivery, installation and pickup with our event toilet hire in Brisbane.

We have a few different types of event portaloos in our fleet. Our trailer and skid-mounted portaloos can be installed on any flat site, and our crane trucks take care of all the hard work.

If you’re hosting a weekend event then we’ll drop off your portable toilet on the Friday. The team will go over any questions or concerns, and leave you to enjoy your event! We then pick up your portable toilet for events on the Monday, leaving the venue looking clean, tidy and good as new. Ask about our event toilet hire in Brisbane today.

‍

Calculating How Many Event Portaloos You Need

We usually recommend hiring 1 portable toilet per 50 people at an event. One portaloo is fully self-contained and can be used approximately 500 times before the waste needs to be removed.

But that’s just a rule of thumb, and you may need more or less portaloos, depending on the type of event. The number of portaloo hire for events you’ll need is based on:

  • Number of guests
  • Event duration
  • Food and drink being served
  • Whether alcohol is being served
  • The type of event and activities available
  • Local council requirements

If you’re planning a weekend wedding for your closest friends then one portaloo is probably enough. But, if you’ve got a big festival coming up, have a chat with the Poles and Holes team. We can help you plan how many portable toilets you’ll need to hire.

Trailer Mounted Portable Toilet Hire for Events

Event portaloos are the simplest and most affordable way to make sure nothing hits the fan at your next event. And if you want to go even simpler, our trailer-mounted portaloo hire makes things super easy! 

Trailer-mounted event portable toilets are ideal if you only need one or two portaloos. We can deliver them anywhere throughout Brisbane, and we’ll take care of set up and installation. They also come with built-in stairs, handrails and levelling feet, so they’re a secure and accessible option for uneven sites.

Trailered portaloos take care of the stress and mess, and they’re perfect for sites that our crane trucks can’t access. Talk to us today if you’d like to book a portaloo hire for an event, or head to our hire page to place an order!‍

FAQ's

Temporary Power Poles

What is our standard delivery area for temporary builders pole hire?
Our depot is in Capalaba. For Temporary Power Hire we deliver as far north as Caboolture, south to Beenleigh and west to Ipswich. However we do deliver Poles on the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and West of Ipswich for an additional $250 fee for delivery.
Can there be an unforeseen charge levied by Energex for a 3 phase connection?
Yes, on rare occasions, Energex won’t test and connect the 3 phase outlet when they connect the rest of the meter enclosure. This requires a visit from our electrician or the hirer’s electrician to test and remove the warning tape on the breaker. Any extra charges incurred will be passed on to the hirer.
Will the pole be delivered on the exact date I specify?
Be aware that actual delivery date may vary from requested date due to stock availability and workload management.
How does power get connected to a temporary power pole in Brisbane?
Poles & Holes submit an EWR (Electrical Work Request) via the Energex Web Portal on the day the pole is installed.
What is a Retailer?
A Retailer is a company that sends you a bill for the connection of the Temporary Pole and the power used.
Which Retailer do I use?
It is your choice, however in our experience Origin and AGL are best equipped to handle any issues with temporary power pole connection.
Are there any charges from the retailer?
Energex do the work, but the retailer sends the bills. There is a new connection fee currently $527.25 + the number of kWh of power used (this varies from site to site). The new connection fee covers 2 visits by the Energex crew. One is to energise the temporary pole and the other to swing the wires from the pole to the permanent position at the end of the job.
How do I advise the Retailer that I wish to open an a/c?
Nominate a Retailer on our pole order form and your details will be sent to them at the same time as the EWR.
What are your timeline guidelines?
Please allow 5 to 10 business days from the installation of the pole to the connection of power by Energex. This time frame can increase due to factors such as traffic control requirements or Energex volume of work. We’ll keep you updated throughout the whole process if your connection delayed.
What about jobs on a busy road?
Any connection required on a block of land that touches a roadway highlighted in yellow in the UBD Street Directory must, by law, be scoped for traffic control. If Energex deems traffic control is required, then this can add 2 weeks to the job due to council permit timelines.
Does traffic control cost extra?
No. Energex pay all costs.
How do Poles & Holes know to pick up the pole at the end of the job?
We don’t unless you ring us and tell us the wires are off the pole.
What if there is no permanent connection required to a building and you just want to get rid of the pole?
You need to ring your retailer and request a “Supply Abolishment”. The supply abolishment process can take up to 20 business days. You can request to expedite this process when talking to the retailer and they’ll advise you that there’ll be an extra fee. Usually, they’ll complete the “Supply Abolishment” in 5 business days if you choose to expedite. Please call us when Energex has removed the meter and any overhead wires, and we’ll off-hire the pole and collect it as soon as possible.
Is there a different procedure for Underground Power Poles? 
We supply and install underground power poles up to 1 meter from the Energex pillar. We carry out the installation and removal of wires from the pillar under the safety supervision of a licensed electrical contractor, as required by Energex. The fee is variable, taking into account factors such as travel time to the site and the duration required on-site, influenced by specific site requirements such as mandatory safety induction. Upon receiving an invoice from our electrician, Poles and Holes will subsequently transmit these costs to the hirer.
Can we start the connection process early with Energex?
Yes, in certain circumstances we can submit the paperwork to Energex before the pole is installed and get the ball rolling.
What happens if we need to erect scaffold near the pole?
If you advise that you are within the exclusion zone we will send you a link to request a Energex Safety Advice.
What happens if we can't install the pole where you prefer?
Our installer will call before delivery with an ETA. So, it’s great if you are there to discuss, otherwise, he’ll call from the site if there are any issues.
‍
Please be aware a call out fee of $90 may be applicable if we are told the site is ready and there is room for the pole and when we attend there is not.
Are temporary power poles safe?
Yes. Temporary power poles are safe provided they are correctly installed and maintained regularly. By hiring through a reputable company, we comply with regulations including mandatory inspections and testing.
Can installing a Builders Temporary Power Pole save you money?
Yes, definitely. There are savings to be made by not getting Energex to carry out a Supply Abolishment of between $700 and $2000. Give us a call and we’ll tell you all about it.
Who is responsible for the testing of the Safety Switch after the “valid to” date on the sticker in the meter box?
The Hirer does the initial testing, then it becomes the business that hired the equipment to have a competent person to perform testing. Electrical Safety Regulation 2013 section 194 (page 77).

Poles and Holes will supply builders temporary power poles with a safety switch test sticker valid for approximately 6 months. The expiry date of the test and tag is noted on the test sticker. The hirer is responsible for the future testing and compliance of the safety switch beyond our test sticker date.
