Who buys
Utility logistics and emergency managers at investor-owned utilities and co-ops; line contractors.
The housing problem
- Demand is sudden and short.
- Hotels in the damage zone may be closed or full of displaced residents.
- Crews lose hours driving to lodging outside the storm area.
Utilities value in-stock units and repeat suppliers more than anyone. We keep a running list of ready units and can quote standby arrangements. Ask for the current in-stock list.
Typical unit mix
- Staging yard for 100 linemen: 20 five-room sleepers + shower/laundry support
- Year-round use: units double as training or contractor housing between storms
Recommended units: 16×76 5-Room Sleeper (No Kitchen)7-Room High-Density Sleeper All models
Timeline
Buy before storm season. After landfall, trucking and set crews are stretched.
Rules and compliance
Units staged on utility property still need power, water, and wastewater plans. Pre-plan the pads.

Common questions
Can sleepers be used without a kitchen?
Yes. Sleepers have private rooms and baths but no kitchen, and pair well with catered meals at a staging yard.
