If you’ve been following the news recently, you’ve almost certainly heard about the increasing number of people facing homelessness in California’s cities.  In Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco – homeless populations continue to grow as the state faces an affordable housing crisis unlike any in its history.  While this is a sobering topic to cover, PRT is proud that our ADA restroom trailers continue to play a role in the health and safety of those who are experiencing homelessness as part of this regional epidemic.There are more than a half million homeless Americans, and more than 25% of them live in the state of California.  Some estimates put the number of people facing homelessness in Los Angeles alone above 40,000 – with San Diego and San Francisco each supporting homeless populations in the range of approximately 10,000 people.Government agencies and non-profit charities cooperate to care for those experiencing homelessness.  Services provided include access to temporary housing, access to food and clean water, and a myriad of social support programs intended to help individuals find health care, employment opportunities, and permanent living arrangements.  However, as these cities are quickly learning, sometimes the most important services are the most basic – and access to sanitary restrooms can play a major role in the health and dignity of those who find themselves without a home to call their own.Controlling Contagious Disease with Sanitary Restroom FacilitiesWhen large populations of homeless people gather in concentrated areas, the lack of basic services like restrooms and showers present an urgent health crisis for public officials.  Contagious diseases including hepatitis A, hepatitis C, and tuberculosis are significantly more common in homeless populations, compared to the rest of America. Recent studies indicate that a lack of sanitary restroom facilities is closely correlated to the occurrence and spread of these diseases – especially hepatitis A.Beginning in March 2017, the CDC issued a national alert for state and local health departments to monitor homeless populations for outbreaks of hepatitis A.  This highly contagious and potentially fatal liver disease is spreading rapidly in homeless populations around the country, with some of the worst outbreaks occurring in California.Some California jurisdictions have deployed mobile medical units to offer free immunization services to people experiencing homelessness.  While this strategy is expected to provide some long-term relief, the disease continues to spread in the short-term.San Diego has put some emergency measures in place including teams of workers who pressure wash public streets and sidewalks with bleach and other disinfectants.  But many cities have found that providing sanitary restroom facilities as a preventative measure is a more effective control. PRT has delivered several ADA restroom trailers for this purpose – most recently to a city on the North Bay, just outside of San Francisco.Supporting Homeless Populations with Sanitary ADA Restroom TrailersWe do a fair amount of business with municipal governments – sometimes to support community events like concerts and sporting events, and other times to help with urgent public health matters like the spread of hepatitis.  When our new client reached out to us this winter, they were in search of preventative measures to help curb the spread of hepatitis A from homeless populations in nearby San Francisco. We were very happy to help the city’s officials find a solution for their problem.  And we were equally happy to help restore sanitary conditions, and more importantly a sense of dignity, to the individuals in their community who are experiencing homelessness at this time.The city’s primary requirement was for high-traffic public restrooms with showers that could easily be moved from one location to another.  An important secondary requirement was to accommodate citizens with mobility impairments by complying with federal and California accessibility standards.  We found a fitting solution with two ADA+2-station units from our Sierra Series of ADA restroom trailers.All our ADA restroom trailers meet or exceed every aspect of California accessibility requirements, and these units are no exception.  The trailers are designed with a hydraulic kneeling axle system that lowers the entire unit to ground level with the push of a button. A folding steel ramp provides easy access to the ADA suite, which is designed for maximum convenience with a push button flush mechanism, wrap-around assistance grab rails, and a full 360-degree turning radius for standard wheelchairs.High-Quality Components for Maximum Comfort and DurabilitySeveral of our ADA restroom trailers incorporate shower stalls, and the city wanted to provide shower facilities to help improve the sanitary services for their homeless population.  The units we delivered feature two unisex restroom suites, each with its own shower stall – in addition to the dedicated ADA suite. Hot water is provided by an on-demand liquid propane water heater in the trailer’s onboard mechanical room.The two unisex suites feature designer wood-grain vinyl flooring with durable fiberglass walls and steel framing.  The pedal-flush toilet and pedestal sink are authentic china, and there is a large shatterproof glass mirror with a stainless-steel cabaret-style light fixture.Maintenance is kept to a minimum thanks to a large 300-gallon waste tank and a 225-gallon freshwater tank.  Water can also be supplied from a city source with a standard ¾-inch garden hose connection. Dual 20-pound propane tanks are mounted directly on the trailer’s tongue.The interior is kept at a comfortable temperature all year long with a roof-mounted air conditioner and electric heat strips integrated into the interior trim.  Optional upgrades are available to add ducted central heat for operation in extremely cold environments.Find ADA Restroom Trailers to Meet Your City’s NeedsIf your city is looking for ADA restroom trailers to support homeless populations, sporting events, public concerts, or any other municipal function – contact PRT to learn more about our extensive lineup of ADA restroom trailers.  We offer a full range of complementary resources including shower trailers, laundry trailers, hand-washing stations, and drinking fountains.  And our trained staff can help you navigate our inventory to find the optimal solution for your unique requirements.We have a wide range of flexible financing options to accommodate any budget, and we have a long history of successfully partnering with municipal governments to expand their restroom resources while avoiding the cost and red tape associated with permanent structures.  Give us a call at (877) 600-8645 to get started today. 

As fossil fuel reserves around the world continue to be depleted, the energy industry increasingly looks to renewable sources to supply the growing demand for power in cities around the world. We recently helped to facilitate this change when one of Canada’s leading producers of hydroelectric power contacted us to learn more about our portable restroom trailers for sale.  They had a very unusual application, but we found an ideal solution that perfectly met their needs and their budget. As the energy industry continues its transition to renewable power sources, hydro-power has quickly assumed a prominent global position.  Approximately one-fifth of all electricity in the world today comes from hydro-power plants. And there are more than 60 countries where hydro-power accounts for at least 50% of the total power supply. Many people assume that all hydro-power still comes from dams, but the industry has developed a number of alternative production methods over the past few decades.  New technologies like run-of-river plants and pumped storage plants allow the natural power of water to be harvested with less environmental impact than a traditional dam, and these alternative methods are becoming more popular with each passing year. A Canadian Leader in Renewable Energy Production Our new client is a major player in the energy infrastructure of Canada and all of North America.  Their business owns and operates an array of clean energy assets across the spectrum of modern energy production.  They have business units focusing on natural gas, power plants, and distribution utilities throughout Canada and the United States. Their company enjoys a strong reputation for successful projects and profitable operations – and we were honored to help them with a very challenging problem when they reached out to ask some specific questions about our restroom trailers for sale. We have helped many companies with unique challenges over the years – but this was the first time we helped a company specify a trailer for use in an entirely underground application.  Our client was working on a major project, deep inside a massive tunnel. They needed a trailer that would offer comfortable and reliable accommodations for their crew; with a compact footprint that would be safe to operate deep underground. The Perfect Fit for a Unique Application When we started looking into this unusual application, there were three key requirements that needed to be met.  First, the unit needed to be safe – it could not emit any fumes or exhaust that might prove dangerous in the confines of the tunnel.  Second – it needed to be built with commercial-grade components that could stand up to tough working conditions. And finally – it needed to provide a low-maintenance solution in a remote location where basic services like water and sewage were not available. Together, we evaluated several potential solutions before deciding on a single-station unit from our line of commercial-grade restroom trailers for sale.  The unit we delivered is compact and safe, with 3/8-inch HDPE extrusion welded tanks for fresh water and waste.  It is tough, with diamond plate wainscoting and a 1-piece non-skid rubber floor. And it is very low-maintenance, with a 125-gallon freshwater tank and a 370-gallon waste tank in the onboard mechanical room. While this unit is designed for industrial applications, it also offers all the luxurious features that you have come to expect from PRT’s restroom trailers for sale.  A roof-mounted air conditioner and integrated electric heat strips keep the trailer comfortable at any outside temperature. The authentic china restroom has a convenient foot-pedal flush mechanism, and the wall-mounted ceramic urinal flushes automatically.  The diamond plate vanity features a solid surface countertop with an under-mounted sink, a large shatterproof glass mirror, and a water-saving automatically-closing faucet.

In virtually every city and town across the United States, the local country club is known as one of the finest destinations for a round of golf and a delicious upscale meal.  Things are no different in Hudson, OH. This small community in between Cleveland and Akron is home to a country club with an outstanding reputation – and we’re proud to say that one of our portable restroom trailers for sale has found a great home there.The club boasts impressive facilities that include an 18-hole golf course, four hard surface tennis courts, an Olympic sized pool, and a prestigious clubhouse with indoor and outdoor dining areas including five private dining rooms.  The golf course is home to a popular international Junior Golf Tournament, which draws top talent from around the world every year. And the clubhouse is home to many of the area’s most exclusive weddings, banquets, and receptions.While the facilities in the clubhouse are second to none, the club needed to make an improvement to the restroom facilities out on the golf course.  Club management had received feedback from its lady members that they did not feel comfortable using the porta-a-potties that were stationed out at the furthest turns.  They got in touch with PRT to investigate the possibility of upgrading their female members’ experience with one of our portable restroom trailers for sale – and their new trailer is a huge upgrade from the old port-a-potties that they replaced.A Sanitary and Comfortable Experience for Members and GuestsAfter learning about the club’s anticipated capacity requirements for special events and everyday golfing traffic – we recommended a 3-station Cabo unit from our Comfort Series of portable restroom trailers for sale.  With two dedicated women’s suites, this unit provides convenient accommodations for ladies on the links – with the third suite providing the men a serious upgrade to the port-a-potty that previously occupied the space.The interior of the trailer we delivered provides a level of luxury that is on par with the overall experience of club members.  The unit features a coordinating earth-tone interior design with one-piece vinyl flooring in a beautiful wood grain pattern, durable fiberglass interior walls in a warm cocoa shade, and dark vanities with solid surface countertops and large shatterproof glass mirrors.  All three toilets are authentic china, with convenient foot-pedal flush mechanisms.Our portable restroom trailers for sale are entirely climate controlled, with a low-profile roof-mounted air conditioner for the summer months and integrated electric heat strips for warmth in cooler weather.  Most units can be upgraded with a ducted liquid propane-powered furnace for operation in freezing weather. And PRT’s new Smarter Restrooms mobile app (optional) allows you to control the internal temperature, lighting, locks and more from the convenience of your own smartphone.Learn More About Our Selection of Portable Restroom Trailers for Sale If your organization could benefit by upgrading your port-a-potties to more sanitary and comfortable accommodations, get in touch with PRT today to learn more about our huge inventory of portable restroom trailers for sale.  Our inventory ranges from single-station units all the way up to trailers with 20 stations.  And we have a huge range of complementary resources including portable solutions for showers, laundry, and more.When you call, one of our trained representatives will walk you through our inventory and help you select the best options and upgrades for your individual needs.  We have a full suite of flexible financing options so that we can provide the perfect solution for almost any budget.

Camping out is one of the oldest recreational activities in the world.  Over the past few decades, Americans have made some major updates to the traditional camping experience – with one of the biggest improvements coming from updated restroom facilities like those available in PRT’s inventory of portable restroom trailers for sale. Every summer, families around the country pack up and head out to their favorite outdoor destinations to get back in touch with the natural world around them and experience some well-deserved rest and relaxation out under the sun and stars.  It’s a time-honored tradition; and one could make the argument that it has become more beneficial than ever in the age of the internet and digital technology. Among outdoors enthusiasts – everyone has their own style of camping.  Some people prefer primitive tent camping with as few modern conveniences as possible.  Some people enjoy RV camping with a satellite television and air conditioning. And still others prefer to go “glamping” in luxurious cabins with plush furniture and fully equipped kitchens. But whatever their personal camping style, there is one modern convenience that every camper appreciates – clean and comfortable restrooms.  And that’s the reason why so many campers have become raving fans of PRT and our lineup of portable restroom trailers for sale. A Big Upgrade for One of Michigan’s Favorite Campgrounds Near the east coast of Lake Michigan, about an hour outside of Grand Rapids, you’ll find a campground that has been a favorite destination of mid-western families for decades.  The campground is situated around the perimeter of a large private lake, and it offers an array of leisurely activities with something to entertain every family for days on end. The 14-acre lake is stocked with freshwater gamefish, and the resort offers canoes, kayaks, rowboats, and paddle boats for rent.  There is a large athletic field with a volleyball court, a basketball court, and a playground for the little ones. There are plenty of less intensive games like horseshoes and badminton for the older crowd.  On rainy days, kids can stay occupied in the indoor game room. For those looking for even bigger adventures, the campground is less than 15 minutes from the famous Michigan’s Adventure water park.  It’s less than 15 minutes away from the east coast of Lake Michigan, with guided fishing expeditions and sightseeing tours available all summer long.  And it’s less than 15 minutes away from downtown Muskegon – with its art galleries, historic sites, a charming shopping district, and the USS Silversides Submarine Museum. Upgrading the Campground Experience with Portable Restroom Trailers for Sale The campground was sold prior to the 2018 camping season, and the new owners immediately started looking for ways to upgrade and improve the experience of their guests.  While the campground was already very nice, with a full set of amenities including an onsite camp store, a luxurious clubhouse, and free wi-fi for all guests – they did identify one key change that would be a major improvement for some of their campsites. The campground’s 100 campsites and 6 cabins are spread out along one road that winds around the perimeter of the lake.  Altogether, that road is roughly a half-mile long. While the existing bath house was satisfactory, it was a long walk from some of the campsites; and some guests had complained that it was too far to walk at night.  The new ownership listened closely to the feedback of their guests, and they decided to make a few changes to the restroom accommodations at their campground. They certainly succeeded in improving their guests’ access to clean and comfortable restrooms at the campground.  Not only did they remodel the existing bath house, but they also decided to add a second restroom to cut down the distance that guests on the far side of the lake would need to walk.  In order to get the new restroom up and running as quickly as possible, they reached out to PRT to discuss the possibility of using one of our portable restroom trailers for sale. We were glad to help, and together we found a unit that was a great match for the campground’s requirements. A Simple Solution for Comfortable Camping After talking through the owner’s expectations for foot traffic and their requirements for connectivity and mobility – we identified a great solution in a 2-station unit from our Comfort Series of portable restroom trailers for sale.  The unit we selected has two dedicated suites – one for men and one for women – and it’s built with the toughest materials to endure the busy summer camping season with minimal maintenance and upkeep. Both stalls are equipped with an authentic flushable china toilet, making this unit less like an outhouse and more like a brick and mortar bathroom.  The interior of the trailer is built with durable white fiberglass panels, with a lockable wall-to-wall vanity on the back wall. An under-mount sink rests inside the solid surface countertop, with a large shatterproof glass mirror above.  Liquid soap and paper towel dispensers come preinstalled. And the entryways for both suites feature dual safety handrails and bright LED porch lights for safe entry and exit at any time of day or night. To ensure that guests have a comfortable and relaxing experience all season long, the unit is equipped with a roof-mounted air conditioner and electric heat strips.  The temperature can be controlled with a simple thermostat that is mounted to the wall in the onboard mechanical room. For clients in extremely cold climates, our portable restroom trailers for sale are also available with a ducted 40k BTU liquid propane furnace – just ask your representative for details.

In the course of our work, we provide ADA restroom trailers to some of the finest and most exclusive wedding venues in North America.  We are proud to say that we added another one to the list recently when we connected with one of the most popular and desirable wedding venues in upstate New York.  This exclusive venue has been providing a picturesque setting for discerning couples to tie the knot for more than ten years, and it has earned a reputation as one of the best wedding venues in its region.The main venue is a converted horse barn, which might sound a bit rustic at first – but after witnessing the ambiance that the current owners have created, you would be more likely to describe it as classic, traditional, or breathtakingly simple.  The site offers multiple locations – indoor and outdoor, to set your ceremony. Regardless of where the ceremony is held, the big barn is the perfect spot for a warm and lively reception afterwards.The venue is located about two hours north of Albany, near the Vermont border.  While its remote location provides unparalleled scenery in the rolling Adirondack foothills, it also presents a challenge in terms of plumbing.  When the venue owners reached out to PRT, they were looking for a way to provide luxurious, comfortable, and accessible restrooms for their guests – in an affordable package that could easily be moved to different locations on the property.Stunning Scenery in New York’s North Country The barn at the center of this venue is beautiful.  The original structure has been refinished to preserve its historic charm, with fresh materials and finishes more fitting to the ambiance of exclusive weddings.  Refinished pine board walls and a subtly stained concrete floor create an atmosphere of simple elegance inside the reception venue. But the real attraction is outdoors, where stunning surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for a marriage to begin.The venue is located on 77 acres of rolling, landscaped hills surrounded by the splendor of the North Country.  Mountains reach up along the horizon, separated by miles of thick temperate forest. The view is rustic, but the available wedding locations are nicely finished with paved pathways and clean stone floors – so that guests need not worry about mud or moisture.  The venue offers a beautiful wooden arbor and cross-back wooden chairs to complete the setting.When the owners reached out to PRT, they needed to find a mobile restroom solution that would match the elegant and luxurious environment they had created.  Traditional port-a-potties were simply not an option. Their guests expect the restroom accommodations to match the venue’s ambiance. Their solution needed to be simple, comfortable, and impeccably sanitary.  To comply with state and local regulations, they needed to make sure that the restrooms were accessible to guests with mobility impairments. We assured them that PRT could meet these requirements, and began showing them our extensive inventory of ADA restroom trailers.Luxurious ADA Restroom Trailers for Exclusive Wedding Venues After consulting with the owners about their requirements for the different wedding sites, we helped them select three different luxury restrooms units, including one from our line of ADA restroom trailers.  All three of the units they chose provide a level of comfort and luxury that is consistent with the overall experience their guests enjoy.These units have beautiful designer flooring with coordinating interior color palettes to create a soft and comfortable setting where guests can relax.  All suites feature flushable authentic china toilets, solid surface countertops, and metered hot water faucets for hand washing. The ambiance inside our luxury units is no different than you would expect in a traditional upscale brick and mortar restroom.The owners selected two units with our 3-season climate control package, which include a roof-mounted air conditioner for summer months and electric heat strips to warm the unit during spring and fall.  The third unit they chose has our 4-season climate control package – which adds additional insulation to all exterior walls and includes a 40K BTU ducted furnace for warmth in wintertime.With this assortment of restrooms, the venue can now accommodate any accessibility requirements, at any time of year – with the same level of luxury and comfort that guests enjoy during the rest of their experience.Simple and Convenient ADA Restroom Trailers Our ADA restroom trailers meet or exceed all federal and state-level regulations – including those in the state of California.  The ADA unit that we sent to upstate New York has a large folding ramp with a spacious landing platform – all surrounded by stainless steel safety railing.  And a hydraulic kneeling axle system lowers the entire trailer to ground level with the push of a button.The interior of each of our ADA restroom trailers is designed with accessibility as the top priority.  Our ADA suites allow a full 360-degree turning radius for standard-sized wheelchairs. The side walls around the push-button-flush toilet are lined with assistance grab rails.  And a wall-mounted porcelain sink allows easy accessibility and operation while seated in a wheelchair.Contact PRT for More Information If you would like to learn more about our extensive lineup of luxurious ADA restroom trailers, please don’t hesitate to reach out.  We have a full suite of mobile resources that includes restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, and much more.  We have commercial-grade units for high-traffic/industrial applications; and we have high-end luxury units for private venues and exclusive events.Give us a call today at (877) 600-8645 and one of our trained representatives will answer your questions and help you identify the perfect solution for your needs.  We have a wide variety of financing options to choose from with short-term rentals, long-term rentals, easy-approval credit, and a popular lease-to-own program. 

Fleet rentals are some of our largest and most reliable customers.  We provide mobile restroom trailers for sale to some of the largest rental fleets in the country.  But we also work with several small fleets and family-owned rental companies – and their business is just as important to us as any of our larger clients.It is always a special treat when we get to help a brand new rental business get started with their very first portable restroom trailers.  We recently did just that when a new client contacted us from Tennessee to discuss their options for acquiring mobile restroom trailers for sale on a startup budget.Seeking a Fresh Start in a Warm ClimateOur new client is no stranger to the mobile restroom industry.  Several years ago, they developed their own proprietary self-contained trash pump that became a popular accompaniment for mobile restrooms in semi-permanent installations.  They recently sold that business, and they moved their family south to a warmer climate and set up shop in Tennessee.In their new community, it didn’t take long before they noticed that there was an unmet demand for luxury restroom rentals – and that’s when they reached out to PRT to inquire about our mobile restroom trailers for sale.We listened to their ideas and helped them with a few calculations to decide what size trailer would be appropriate for the types of events that were taking place in their area.  After we had identified the appropriate trailer size, we helped them work through the financials to analyze the expense of acquiring a new trailer. At the end of the process, our client decided that there was enough demand to justify the cost of the new trailer – and a new rental fleet was born.Meeting Local Demand with Mobile Restroom Trailers for Sale The unit that our new client decided on was a 2-station luxury model from our Comfort Series of mobile restroom trailers for sale.  This unit is extremely mobile and compact, with a small 12-foot footprint.  But it has enough capacity to accommodate a small-to-medium-sized wedding; with an extremely comfortable and luxurious feel.The floor plan is divided into two separate suites – one for men and one for women – with a separate entrance for the mechanical room on the back side of the trailer.  Both suites feature a genuine china toilet with a pedal-flush mechanism, a spacious vanity with a solid surface countertop and an under-mounted designer sink, and a metered hot water faucet for washing hands.  The men’s suite includes a wall-mounted water-saving porcelain urinal.The experience for guests is private, sanitary, and luxurious – making this unit a perfect fit for upscale weddings and exclusive corporate events.  The floors are constructed with designer wood grain vinyl flooring, with a coordinated color scheme throughout the interior. Both suites are fully climate controlled with a ducted roof-mounted air conditioner and low-profile electric heat strips integrated into the floor trim.PRT’s Smarter Restrooms Mobile App is a Smart ChoiceOur client in Tennessee made a smart choice to upgrade their new unit to include PRT’s signature Smarter Restrooms mobile app.  This awesome new option puts the most important restroom maintenance tasks right at your fingertips – and it will run on any Android or iOS smartphone or tablet.Using the Smarter Restrooms app, you can remotely control your unit’s temperature, lighting, locks, and much more.  The app includes real-time monitoring for all freshwater and waste water tanks.
