Helping a Historic School with Portable Restroom Trailers for Sale

We provide portable restroom trailers for sale to critical industries, first responders, and world-class luxury resorts all around the country.  But one of our favorite applications is when our trailers go to help with the education of America’s children. Many of us at PRT are raising up young ones of our own, so it is always a pleasant surprise when our work overlaps with helping other school kids and the people who teach them.We had a great opportunity to help another school recently when the administration from one of the most historic private schools in North Carolina contacted our client satisfaction team to inquire about portable restroom trailers for sale to accommodate their teaching staff.Over the years, we’ve provided restroom trailers to accommodate schools of all different sizes.  Sometimes we help with a temporary classroom, sometimes we help the athletic department, and sometimes we accommodate the entire student body.  So, we were quite confident that we would be able to arrange a good solution for our new client’s teaching staff.A Remarkable Educational Experience in Raleigh, North Carolina The school we’re working with can trace its history back well into the 19th century, when it was founded by the local Episcopal Church.  A private citizen donated money to the church to fund a professional teacher for the parish school – and the school was named after the first Episcopal bishop of North Carolina.The church and the school remained connected for more than 100 years – until the school transitioned to become non-sectarian in 1966 and then moved to its current location in 1969.  At that time, the school taught primary classes only. Expansion happened quickly, as a middle school and high school were opened in 1971 – and the first class of seniors graduated in 1973.Today, the school is one of Raleigh’s academic gems with multiple accreditation's and membership in various prestigious associations and organizations for independent private schools.  The school enjoys a reputation for excellence in academics, fine arts, and athletics.Portable Restroom Trailers for SchoolsThe school has grown consistently over the years, and today it hosts approximately 1200 students with all grade levels included.  While the facilities in its buildings are more than sufficient for the students – the school had begun searching for a dedicated restroom solution for its teaching staff.  They got in touch with us to learn more about our selection of portable restroom trailers for sale, and we assured them that we would be able to help.Appliances & Capacity RequirementAfter learning more about the application and capacity requirements, we found a fitting solution with a new 2018 2-station Malibu unit from our Comfort Series of portable restroom trailers for sale.  This comfortable floorplan features two private suites – one for men and one for women.  It offers all the sanitary services you would expect from a brick and mortar restroom – in a clean and compact 12-foot trailer.Inside both roomy suites is an authentic china flushable toilet, and the men’s suite includes a wall-mounted water saving urinal.  The back of the suite holds a wall-to-wall lockable vanity with a beautiful solid surface countertop and an under-mount designer sink.  Hot water for hand-washing is provided by an on-demand water heater, and liquid soap and paper towel dispensers come standard in all units.The unit we delivered with be comfortable in the North Carolina climate all year long.  It has a low-profile roof-mounted air conditioner, electric heat strips, and a 750-watt heater in each suite.  The walls and ceiling are insulated for maximum comfort and efficiency.Learn More About PRT’s Portable Restroom Trailers for Sale If your organization is looking for alternative solutions to expand restroom capacity without committing to expensive and time consuming structural construction – get in touch with PRT today.  We keep an extensive inventory of new and used restrooms in stock at all times, with capacities ranging from single-station units all the way up to units with 20 stations or more.

Keeping the BIG TEN Squeaky Clean with a PRT Laundry Trailer Rental

The BIG TEN has all the history, legends, and lore you would expect from the oldest active football conference in NCAA sports.  Founded in 1896, the conference includes some of the most successful and storied teams in the history of college football. With perennial powerhouse teams like Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Penn State – this single power conference is home to some of the sport’s most consistent and prolific programs. We recently connected with one of the BIG TEN’s premier schools to provide a laundry trailer rental for their entire athletic department.  The school was remodeling their permanent laundry facilities to keep pace with their growing sports programs – and they needed a temporary solution that would keep their teams operational during the year-long remodeling project. We jumped at the opportunity to help a football team as legendary as our new client.  They are one of the most recognizable names in all of football – having won as many BIG TEN Championships and even National Championships as any other team in history.  And we’re very proud that our laundry trailer rental will keep all their teams’ uniforms looking their absolute best for an entire year. Big League Laundry Rooms for BIG TEN Teams Many people have never considered the sheer scale of laundry operations for college sports programs.  We watch the teams battle it out on the gridiron every Saturday, but we don’t give much thought to tasks (like laundry) that go on behind the scenes to make the spectacle possible. But with a little back-of-the-envelope math, we can start to get a sense for just how big and busy the laundry operations can be for some of college’s biggest teams.  During the off-season, there are a maximum 105 players allowed on any NCAA roster. That number frequently goes up by 10 or 20 walk-ons during the season. There is currently no standard for coaching staff size, but 30 is a good estimate for the NCAA average.  So already, we’re talking about gear, uniforms, and clothing for 150 people – every single day – for six months of the year. As you can see – doing the laundry for a BIG TEN school is a serious undertaking.  Yet we’ve only scraped the surface of the total volume – in addition to football, BIG TEN schools play basketball, soccer, baseball, and more.  There are both men’s and women’s teams for most sports. Our client was initially skeptical about whether they would find a suitable temporary solution, but together we identified a laundry trailer rental that has been a good fit. High-Capacity Laundry Trailer Rentals The unit that we delivered to the university is essentially a fully-functional laundromat on wheels.  With eight stackable washer/dryer combinations – this unit has the capacity to keep up with an extreme workload.  The unit incorporates an oversized utility sink and open countertops for folding – everything you would expect in a permanent laundry room.  All components are spec’d for maximum durability in high-traffic applications. Laundry trailer rentals are simple to install anywhere basic service connections are available – with 3/4” city water hook up, standard 50-Amp plugs, and direct-to-sewer drainage.  Eight sets of standard stackable-sized washers and dryers are supplied by a 100-lb liquid propane tank and two on-demand water heaters. The interior provides 110 square feet of workable space – all of it climate-controlled.  A roof-mounted air conditioner and electric heat strips allow you to keep the unit at a consistent and comfortable temperature in most climates. Call to Learn More Our inventory of laundry trailer rentals runs from single-station units all the way up to commercial-grade trailers with 10 or more stacks.  Our representatives are trained to help you find the best match for your application, and we can handle many customization requests in-house. Give us a call today at (877) 600-8645 to get started.  We’ll help you find a solution, and we have an array of flexible financing options to make it work within your budget.

Shower Trailer Rentals for Safe Material Handling at Chemical Plants

Our shower trailer rentals are used in every industry you can imagine, in towns and cities from coast to coast and everywhere in between.  We take pride in serving many of America’s most critical industries – and no industry is more crucial to our economic success than organic chemical manufacturing. Organic chemicals are the building blocks for some of the most common and important products we consume in our day-to-day lives.  Every time you handle a product that is made from or packaged in plastic or rubber; every time you use a detergent, shampoo, or household cleanser; and most times you eat a prepared or packaged food – you’re benefiting from the hard work and innovation of America’s organic chemistry industry. While the chemicals that are produced in modern organic chemical plants are often non-toxic and relatively safe for workers, safety procedures and regulatory compliance are still an important part of every organic chemical plant’s daily operation.  We’ve helped many of America’s top chemical plants to keep their safety programs operational during transitional times with our commercial grade shower trailer rentals. The Premier Organic Chemical Processing Plant on the East Coast We recently helped one of the world’s leading organic chemical plants to supplement their safety and compliance programs during a facilities improvement project.  Their workers needed temporary shower arrangements to rinse off after shifts, while their permanent shower facilities were being upgraded. With a few simple customizations to one of PRT’s most popular shower trailer rentals, the plant found a fitting solution that kept all their employees safe and happy while the shower facilities were under construction. Our client is one of the country’s most established and esteemed organic chemical plants, having been in production for more than four decades.  They design custom chemical solutions for innovative new products – and they run tightly controlled chemical processes to create and modify specialty chemicals for use in diverse processes in manufacturing and other industries. The plant has been privately owned by the same family for its entire history – giving it a unique edge over other organic chemical plants with corporate controllers.  The family has taken care to maintain an unparalleled reputation for their ability to successfully handle and process difficult custom orders. And with a personal commitment to environmental stewardship, the plant is also an industry leader in innovation and regulatory compliance for environmental controls. Customize a Shower Trailer Rental to Match Your Requirements After looking over PRT’s extensive inventory of shower trailer rentals, the plant’s management was drawn to the comfortable durability of our Comfort Series.  With seamless fiberglass walls and non-skid epoxy floors – these trailers are built to stand up to daily use by large groups while remaining clean and sanitary.  And they offer the same degree of comfort and functionality that the plant’s workers had become accustomed to in their regular shower room. The plant’s management decided to make a few customizations to the standard floor-plan to fit more functionality into the trailer’s footprint – and the final result was a perfect fit for their workforce’s needs.  The shower trailer rental unit we delivered has two separate suites – one for men and one for women – accessible via landing platforms at the front and rear of the trailer. Inside each suite there are three private shower stalls and one private toilet stall.  The common area of both suites includes a corner sink with hot water, a locking vanity, and a shatterproof glass mirror. The interior of the trailer is kept at a comfortable temperature all year long thanks to a roof-mounted air conditioner and electric heat strips integrated throughout both suites.  The unit was installed with direct connections to the onsite freshwater supply, electricity, and sewage so that maintenance tasks are kept to a minimum. Hot water for all six shower stalls is provided by a set of twin 50-gallon hot water heaters, which are powered by four 60-pound liquid propane gas cylinders. Find the Perfect Shower Trailer Rental for Your Application Our selection of portable shower trailer rentals spans the entire spectrum from industrial-grade toughness to high-end luxury.  And we can accommodate groups of any size with units ranging from one single shower stall all the way up to 20 stalls and more. We have dedicated shower trailers, combination shower/restroom units, and fully compliant environmental decontamination trailers. If your organization is searching for a way to provide shower accommodations for workers during renovations, temporary seasonal staff increases, or remote projects – we can help.  Call one of our trained representatives at (877) 600-8645 now for an overview of our extensive inventory and our flexible financing options.

A Shower Trailer Rental for a Leader in Specialty Materials Recycling

In America, the recycling business is a huge industry.  These companies do work that is critical to our society’s sustainability, and PRT we are proud to help them out by providing a shower trailer rental whenever one is needed. Since its inception, the recycling industry has recovered more than 66 million tons of material that would otherwise be added to our nation’s landfills.  And with more than 50% of Americans having access to curbside recycling in 2018, the industry continues to expand – improving on existing recycling processes and consistently identifying new materials that can be salvaged. While most of the materials that are recycled every year are plastic and paper products; the recycling of specialty materials is equally important.  A huge number of specialty materials are used in electronics and industrial components – and dedicated recycling procedures are being developed for many of those specialty materials.  We recently helped a leader in the industry who has become one of the world’s premier providers of recycling services for cobalt and nickel. They needed help keeping their workers safe and healthy – and we were more than happy to help them with their important work. Recycling Specialty Materials in America’s Heartland Cobalt mines have attracted a lot of attention in the press over the past few years – including scrutiny of the health risks and working conditions faced by cobalt miners around the world.  But cobalt is an essential component in many of the most common and popular rechargeable batteries – including lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride. These are the batteries that power our smartphones, laptops, electric cars, and more. Our client developed a proprietary process that has had quite an impact on the markets for cobalt and nickel.  The process allows them to recycle used lithium and nickel batteries, capture the cobalt and nickel, and refine those specialty materials to be used again in other products.  This process keeps these rare and valuable elements out of landfills, and relieves pressure on the cobalt supply chain and its mining operations. Salvaged cobalt and nickel can be used in a wide spectrum of applications.  Altogether the recycling process yields more than 360 different chemical products.  Some of the recovered materials are sold back to rechargeable battery manufacturers.  Other chemicals from the recycling process are useful for dying ceramics, fertilizing farm crops, making hard-metal cutting tools, and much more. The process our client developed has a positive impact on the markets for cobalt and nickel at every stage of the supply chain.  So, we were happy to help keep their operation running smoothly by providing them with a shower trailer rental when they contacted us recently to find a temporary shower solution for their employees. Shower Trailer Rental for an Industrial Recycling Plant When the recycling plant reached out to us, they needed to find a way to provide comfortable and sanitary showers for their workers to get clean before returning home at the end of their daily shifts.  After discussing their requirements for capacity, the space they had available, and their access to utility services – we found a great match for their application with an 8-stall commercial grade shower trailer rental. The unit we provided has 2 4-stall suites, which makes it easily convertible between one women’s suite and one men’s suite – or two men’s suites if the women’s suite is not in use.  The entire trailer is constructed with commercial grade materials that easily stand up to the rugged conditions of crews working with industrial materials. Each 4-stall suite features a central vanity with double bowl sinks in a solid surface countertop, two toilet stalls with locking privacy doors, and a roomy common area.  The four shower stalls are made with a tough and durable one-piece acrylic mold, and each stall includes its own private changing area. Climate control options are available, and our client chose a model with central air conditioning and electric heat strips – creating a comfortable setting for their workers in every season for the duration of their long-term rental agreement. Learn More About PRT’s Great Shower Trailer Rental Options We were thrilled to learn that the shower trailer rental we provided was a good fit at the recycling plant.  And we were even happier when the plant’s management contacted us recently to extend their contract for a second term.  Repeat customers are the cornerstone of our success here at PRT, and each time a client returns to us we see it as a return on our commitment to excellence in customer service. If your company is looking for a short-term solution for a shower trailer rental – or a full-blown decontamination trailer for hazardous material projects – get in touch with PRT today at (877) 600-8645.  We’ll provide the guidance you need to find the best unit to meet your needs with financing that works within your existing budget.

A Luxury Portable Bathroom for Extremely Cold Climates

At Portable Restroom Trailers (PRT), we have to be prepared to provide a luxury portable bathroom for any climate in the world.  Our clientele ranges from warm tropical islands to remote arctic villages, and our inventory reflects their needs with a wide variety of climate control configurations to match any requirement.We recently helped an upstart rental company in Canada to expand their service offerings by acquiring a luxury portable bathroom for weddings, parties, and corporate events.  Because of their location, they needed a unit with a powerful climate control setup so that they could keep it rented out for as much of the year as possible.The company didn’t have capital set aside for new equipment purchases in their operating budget, but we were able to match them up with a demo unit from our display lot at a significant discount – and they took advantage of our popular lease-to-own program to make the numbers work.  At first, they were a little concerned about how comfortable the bathroom would be in cold winter weather; but they quickly came around when they saw all the climate control options that PRT offers.Three Levels of Insulation and Control for Cold Climates Almost every luxury portable bathroom in PRT’s inventory comes standard with a base HVAC system that includes integrated duct-work, a roof-mounted air conditioner and electric heat strips.  The standard heat strips are low-profile electrical heat sources that are integrated into the trailer’s trim and produce 5600 BTU per unit. Our standard units remain warm and comfortable all the way down into the mid-30s; but a few upgrades are available that can keep your luxury portable bathroom warm and welcoming even in freezing temperatures.Our 3 season package features upgraded insulation in all walls and ceilings.  Additional heat is provided by a 750-watt electric heater in each suite – with upgraded 30-amp marine-style power cords to withstand harsh weather outside.  The waste tank is fitted with an electric DE-icing system to prevent freezing. With the 3-season package installed, our units are rated down to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.For even colder climates, we offer a 4-season Arctic package with more insulation, tougher components, and a ducted central furnace.  The 4-season upgrade uses R13 spray insulation in the sub-floor, R14 insulation in the walls and ceilings, and the entire exterior of the unit is wrapped in insulating foil before the metal walls are installed.  A ducted 40k BTU furnace is powered by dual 30lb liquid propane tanks. The waste tank has an electric DE-icing system, and 50 feet of electrically heated water hose are included for the external water supply.Some heat packages require access to multiple electrical outlets.  All our trailers will maintain warmer temperatures with less energy if you skirt the unit to the ground with weather-resistant materials during winter months.  Ask your PRT representative for more details.A Compact Luxury Portable Bathroom for Cold Climate Events The unit that our Canadian client selected is a compact but luxurious 2-station trailer from our Comfort Series.  This unit packs a ton of functionality and luxury into an exceptionally small footprint at only 12 feet in overall length.  Both suites have a private fold-down stairway with an oversized landing, double safety handrails, and abundant LED porch lighting.  But you don’t see the real luxury of this unit until you open the door and step inside.The bathroom’s interior is comfortable and relaxing, with a coordinated design that features earth-tone colors and high-quality components.  The vanities feature solid surface countertops with metered hot water faucets, in-counter wastebaskets, and large shatterproof glass mirrors.  The walls are made of a durable fiberglass material; and the floors are made with a single sheet of low-maintenance vinyl with a designer finish.  Our Comfort Series luxury portable bathrooms provide all the comfort and functionality you would expect from a permanent bathroom – at a fraction of the cost, in a compact and mobile package.Our Canadian client went with the 4-season package, so the unit we delivered has maximum insulation for efficiency and consistency in any weather.  The unit has heat strips and a central furnace – and the temperature is controlled via a simple thermostat in the unit’s mechanical room. Combining rugged durability in cold climates with a comfortable luxurious experience – this unit was a perfect fit for year-round event rentals in Canada.Find Your Own Luxury Portable Bathroom Today PRT stocks a wide-ranging inventory of luxury portable bathrooms.  We have single-stall units, all the way up to 20-stalls and more.  And our inventory runs the gamut from rugged durability to the finest high-end luxury.  We have restrooms, shower trailers, laundry trailers, decontamination trailers, and much more.If you’d like to learn more about our selection of luxury portable bathrooms, get in touch with us today at (877) 600-8645.  We have plenty of financing options to choose from – from easy approval credit to our popular lease-to-own program.

Luxury Portable Restrooms for America’s Top Private Racetrack

When we deliver luxury portable restrooms to one of our valued clients, several different factors have been taken into consideration before the unit ever leaves our lot.  Of course, we will have determined the correct capacity and the ratio of gender-specific accommodations; but there are several less obvious factors that we also take into consideration – some of which involve the technical aspects of operating a luxury portable restroom in a remote location where basic utilities may or may not be readily available.We recently got a call from a world-renowned racetrack that’s located far off the beaten path in New Hampshire.  This was about as challenging a location as we come across in our normal work, with no sewer system, no electricity, and no fresh water supply onsite.  But despite the remote location and the lack of onsite utilities – the track’s owners needed to provide restroom accommodations for their members that far exceeded the comfort and sanitation of a traditional port-a-potty.We showed the owners some compatible units from our line of luxury portable restrooms, with a focus on the size of the freshwater and wastewater tanks and the frequency of service that would be required to pump waste and resupply freshwater based on their estimated level of foot traffic.  In the end, we came up with a perfect compromise that met the track’s needs for luxurious accommodations without straining the amount of effort that would be required for regular upkeep.The Finest Racetrack in AmericaNestled against the southern edge of the White Mountains in New Hampshire, you will find one of the most exclusive racetracks on the east coast.  It’s been called the best track in America by some of racing’s premier personalities. And it’s a haven for motorsport enthusiasts to push the limits of their prized sports-cars with some track time on a world-class course.The 2.5-mile course features 15 challenging turns and more than 250-feet in elevation changes.  The course flows over the winding foothills of the White Mountains, with scenic views of dense deciduous New England forests in every direction.  There is a separate, dedicated track for kart racing. And a large section of the property has already been set aside for a planned expansion in the near future.The course hosts a full schedule of regional races and private events for various groups and organizations.  On days when no events are scheduled, the facility is open to members of its own private club. Memberships are available at several different levels, including options for professional driving instruction, secure car storage, and access to professional-grade garages.A Luxury Portable Restroom for Exclusive Clientele When the track’s management reached out to PRT, they were looking for a convenient way to expand their restroom capacity during some of their bigger events.  We talked about capacity and reviewed their requirements for a stand-alone unit that would not require access to a sewage system or external utilities. And we walked through some luxury options that they wanted, including an upgraded climate control system and an integrated high-definition stereo system.  After looking at a few options, we found a perfect solution in a Martinique 5-station luxury portable restroom.The Martinique unit we delivered provides the same level of service you would expect from a permanent brick and mortar restroom – with a level of luxury that many have never seen in a portable unit.  The interior of the unit is designed with a warm 2-tone color scheme with crisp white trim throughout. The wall-to-wall vanity features a beautiful Corian-style countertop with a coordinated marble pattern.  The vinyl floor tiles have a designer wood-grain pattern which is complemented by soft ambient lighting. And each private stall is separated by a full-size six-panel door with locking satin nickel level handles.Each luxury portable restroom unit comes standard with heating and air conditioning.  The unit we delivered to the race track included an upgraded four-season climate control package with a high-efficiency onboard heating system to keep the unit warm and comfortable in freezing conditions during the harsh New Hampshire winters.Operating Luxury Portable Restrooms in a Stand-Alone SetupBecause basic utilities were not available where the restroom would be located, every aspect of the unit needed to support an off-grid deployment.  We helped the track’s owners to spec out a stand-alone unit with all necessary utilities provided onboard. The unit we sent has oversized freshwater and waste water tanks, each fitted with an independent heating system to prevent the tanks from freezing in cold weather.  Large tanks help to keep maintenance to a minimum by extending the length of time in between servicing to pump waste and refill fresh water.An onboard propane tank provides fuel for the heater and an integrated tankless on-demand hot water heater.  And locking vanity cabinets allow plenty of storage space to stock up a long-term supply of liquid soap, toilet paper, and paper towels.  With a full set of stand-alone services, this luxury portable restroom provides a comfortable and sanitary experience for visitors with no external utilities, and minimal periodic maintenance.How to Learn More If your organization is interested in a luxury portable restroom to accommodate visitors in remote locations, get in touch with PRT today at (877) 600-8645.  One of our trained professionals will walk you through our extensive lineup of luxury units and help you select the appropriate options and upgrades for your application.  We have a number of flexible financing options to choose from, with a solution to fit any budget.
