January 2019

During the holiday season last year, and every year for that matter, families everywhere begin singing songs that romanticize the winter season. Songs like “Walking in a Winter Wonderland” have many of us ready for the cold, snowy season, with visions of building snowmen and snow angels in our heads. We even had some of our portable restrooms for rent at ice skating rinks, where the winter spirit was truly alive.Now, as we quickly approach the month of February, the romance of winter is starkly broken. The Midwest and East Coast are experiencing what weather professionals call the Polar Arctic Vortex. While this may sound like something out of a movie, it is no joking matter. The National Weather Service describes a polar vortex as “a large area of low pressure and cold air surrounding both of the Earth’s poles. It ALWAYS exists near the poles, but weakens in summer and strengthens in winter. The term "vortex" refers to the counter-clockwise flow of air that helps keep the colder air near the Poles. Many times during winter in the northern hemisphere, the polar vortex will expand, sending cold air southward with the jet stream. This occurs fairly regularly during wintertime and is often associated with large outbreaks of Arctic air in the United States.”Record low temperatures will be challenged by this polar arctic vortex over the next week, with some towns and cities in the Midwest reaching as low as -65 degrees! We will be shutting down our shipping for the week to keep our drivers safe and sound with just one of our portable restrooms for rent on its way to the Salvation Army in California. Below, we outline how you can protect yourself and your family during this polar vortex, along with additional precautions to take when preparing your portable restrooms for rent for the chilly weather. PREPARING YOURSELF FOR THE POLAR ARCTICWhile the Polar Arctic is nothing new, it is certainly bringing some record breaking temperatures with it this year. In some areas that reach -20 and colder, frostbite seems almost instant as exposed skin can acquire it in as little as thirty minutes. Nature itself must take extra care. Animals that aren’t hibernating must stay near fresh water to keep warm.With the many warnings that are being sent out by weather reports and news stations, it is important to take action now and prepare for the temperatures to come. Here are some tips from the National Weather Service that will ensure you, your family, and your home tough it out during the cold.Remember the four Ps: Pets, Pipes, Plants and People. Bring all pets inside and provide them with plenty of water and food.Frozen pipes are one of the worst forms of damage that extreme cold weather can bring on. Make sure you insulate all pipes, especially those not located in warm areas of the house, and empty all outside faucets of water. If your pipes do freeze, turn on the water and defrost with a heating pad or space heater.Cover your plants or bring them inside if possible. Plants will die in sub-zero weather.Make sure you have all the necessary supplies you need to stay inside, like food, drinking water, flashlights and blankets in case of a power outage, and other items to keep you and your family warm, comfortable, and safe.Going outside is not recommended, but if you must, dress accordingly. This means layers, one insulated jacket, a warm hat, face mask, at least two layers of pants, and waterproof boots.PREPARE YOUR PORTABLE RESTROOM FOR RENTAs the Polar Arctic approaches, we want to ensure that all of our renters are prepared for this extreme weather. Fortunately, our portable restrooms for rent are built to survive the harshest of weather when four-season packages are installed. Despite their designed resilience, we recommend a few additional steps to protect your restroom trailer. Follow the steps below to ensure that your portable restroom for rent is ready for the storm to come. Protect Your Water SupplyWrap heat tape around a ¾” garden hose. Use duct tape to hold it in place, about every 12 inches.Put foam tube insulation around the hose and heat tape. Leave the plugs and power lights uncovered.Run duct tape down the insulation, leaving the connecting ends, plugs and power lights uncovered. If you cover them, you will not be able to connect the water or power. Leave test lights and power lights uncovered (for testing and to be sure the hose remains working).Create A BoxPlace two 1500-watt electric heaters under the unit. Be sure you have sufficient power!Build a 2×2 or 2×4 wood frame to fit underneath each side of the unit. This is going to box the bottom of the outside of the unit.Fill any gaps with insulationCut ½” plywood to fit frame for each side. Be sure to consider stairs when cutting your wood. Stairs should be out and in place before measuring.Measure and cut out a 6”x6” square to cover the drain access. Attach this with hinges so you can access the drain when needed. This will protect drain valve from freezing.Eliminate gaps and holes on the tongue side of the unit with R-13 (or greater) insulation.Staple insulation inside the wood boxCut a piece of insulation in half and lay it on the ground where the box will be placed. This eliminates gaps between the wood and the ground.After Plywood is AttachedFill any small gaps on the top and bottom of the box with insulationStaple bubble wrap around the outside of the wood unit. This closes of gaps and keeps cold air out and heat in.Use electrical tape to cover plug connections that will remain outside.For Units Not Used in WinterEliminate the use of power and water until the unit is ready to be used again.Drain water from all the lines.Add non-toxic RV “Pink Water System” antifreezeUnplugWE CAN HELP YOU WITH PORTABLE RESTROOMS FOR RENTAs the cold week comes to an end, keep in mind that we are here to help if your portable restrooms for rent experience any types of difficulty.

When it comes to portable bathroom trailers design, we know our stuff. We pride ourselves on ensuring our manufacturers spend time perfecting every touch of every trailer, from designer toilets and flooring to granite sink counters in our luxury units. We create basic units and upscale units, large and spacious to compact and efficient. Every unit should be something we want to boast about and should make our brand look great. Occasionally, we come across a customer who browses our large inventory of portable bathroom trailers and doesn’t find what the want. When we first heard this, we were shocked. We thought we’d checked every need off of the list. Upon further discussion, we realized why. These customers didn’t want your typical, run-of-the-mill portable bathroom trailers. They wanted something unique. Something that had never been done before and something that we ourselves couldn’t have dreamed up. Fortunately, we have the ability to take these creative requests and build fully customized portable bathroom trailers. See these three unique trailers and be inspired to contact us with your own outside-the-box bathroom trailer design!   1. The Break Room   When a company approached us with a completely fresh and unique idea for portable bathroom trailers, we were excited and quick to answer the call. A popular transportation company in California needed a long-term temporary solution for not only restrooms, but for a break room as well. We took the concept to out manufacturers and were pleased with the finished product.   The 2 Station Portable Bathroom Trailers / Break Room combo was a hit. We were able to add in details like large sliding windows, a counter, and room for a small refrigerator. It also has two plugs for a coffee maker, microwave, or whatever visitors may want in their break room.   2. The Advertisement Opportunity   For sports fans, tailgating is as much a part of the experience as the game itself. Thousands of fans fill the parking lot of arenas and bring their grills, ice chests, snacks, and friends to have a good time getting amped up for the game to come. With all the, ahem, “beverages” being passed around, it is inevitable that a trip to the bathroom will be a must for the majority of these fans. People everywhere have been enjoying the upgrade from porta potties to portable bathroom trailers, and one savvy marketing company saw an opportunity. They worked with us to build the most tricked-out of our portable bathroom trailers. With interactive ads, touch screens, games and more throughout the trailers, this tech-filled spin on a restroom trailer has been a huge success for the company.   3. The Locker Room   Many industries have staff that work in temporary locations that simply lack the amenities that come with an office. We often work with companies to provide portable bathroom trailers for their staff, but sometimes, a restroom isn’t enough. What if workers are in the field, like construction or farming? They can’t keep their personal items with them. A company struggling with this dilemma suggested a restroom/ locker room combo as a solution. This has been one of our most popular portable bathroom trailers, so we not only built one, but an entire collection of them! Units like the 8 Station Shower/ Restroom/ Locker Room Combo exist because one company had a unique need and spoke up about it. This company was able to show us that while portable restrooms solved many of their offsite work problems, going the extra mile by providing safe storage and changing rooms was what made this solution so important to our industry. Had these vastly different companies not come to us with a unique request for their portable bathroom trailers, we would have never come up with these ideas. Managers and professionals like you are constantly out in the field, working and witnessing the needs of staff during day-to-day operations. These companies were able to come to us, share details about what they were lacking, and we quite literally got to dream up a new restroom trailer concept. These were all exciting projects to take on, and we are eager to hear about your unique needs. Think about how you could get creative with our portable bathroom trailers and leave a comment below. Let’s customize something, just for you! Contact our National Account Specialists today: 1-866-248-2933 or Request a Quote.

As the new year continues to roll along, many Americans are sticking to new dietary changes. Many of these include cutting back on desserts, sugars, carbs, processed foods, and more. Here at PRT, we most certainly agree with living a healthy lifestyle and choosing smart foods that promote a happy body. But let’s be honest: cutting all those yummy treats cold turkey is bound to end up in failure! Balance is best: eat whole foods, but a piece of chocolate here and there surely won’t ruin that bikini body! Our team was inspired to schedule a cheat day when we partnered with Hershey Park, a fun family amusement park in Pennsylvania. They are preparing to introduce a new experience and needed a restroom solution for staff. We knew our restroom rentals could help.   HERE COMES CHOCOLATE TOWN!   Hershey Park was created and opened by Milton S. Hershey for their employees and families to enjoy leisure time. Today, this has expanded into a fun-packed amusement park with three different experiences within. Families from all over the world come to play and explore the colorful sights, scream on exciting coasters and rides, and enjoy dining and other leisurely activities. As of today, Hershey Park has three themed experiences. The first are the wild rides and roller coasters. These are for the thrill seekers and daredevils of the family. Next, enjoy the water park, a perfect sport to hit during those hot summer months. Cool down under dumping buckets and lively springs. The third is ZooAmerica, perfect for animal lovers.

This new and exciting park is designed to encourage guests to eat, shop, play and relax. Get ready for this new park’s grand opening in 2020.   A SOLUTION WITH RESTROOM RENTALS   As the construction for Chocolate Town begun, the company realized they’d have to provide some necessary amenities for construction crews and onsite workers. This includes a restroom. As the brick-and-mortar option was is still under construction, they needed a portable and cost-effective solution. With our knowledge of restroom rentals and wide variety of options to choose from, we were ready to help. They needed a temporary restroom solution, and we were quick to recommend a number of portable restroom rentals that would service additional employees. The 10 Station Portable Restrooms Rental, Classic Series was the perfect fit for them. This 24-foot portable restroom trailer is equipped for high-volume use with an 865-gallon waste tank and 200-gallon fresh water tank. Visitors are greeted by a clean and fresh exterior that is built with aluminum steps and handrails for safe and convenient access. The entryway to each suite has ample lighting above the door for added safety and easy entry during anytime, day or night. As visitors enter one of our most popular restroom rentals, they find a clean design and comfortable interior. The men’s suite includes 2 privacy stalls and 3 urinals, while the women’s suite includes 5 privacy stalls. Each stall of the women’s suite has a flushable china toilet that flushes with the step of a pedal. The suite is equipped with a double sink vanity, shatterproof mirror, and a paper towel dispenser for a full and upscale restroom experience. The men’s suite also has flushable toilets in each privacy stall, and urinals are given some added privacy with walls separating each one. Two sink vanities and shatterproof mirrors finish out the men’s suite, with a paper towel dispenser for hand drying. The entire unit also features air conditioning and heat strips in order to maintain a comfortable interior temperature in their restroom rentals no matter what outside weather may be like. These strips can easily increase or decrease the temperature of the unit when necessary, ensuring that guests have a comfortable experience. A final feature of this and many of our other restroom rentals is the Smarter Restrooms App. In February of 2017, we launched the Smarter Restrooms App, and this tool has helped our many partners to more effectively run their restroom rentals business. The app, which can be downloaded and used on any smartphone, tablet, or laptop, makes the overall management of restroom fleets convenient and more time effective. As we continue to partner with new businesses, we want to highlight the value of purchasing restroom rentals with the Smarter Restrooms App feature. Read ahead to discover three key upgrades that the app provides.   Receive Timely Notifications   Each of our restroom rentals comes with water saving flushable toilets, running water from sinks, and sometimes, showers and other amenities. This means that fresh water tank and waste tank levels require careful monitoring. No need to do this math on your own any longer! The Smarter Restroom App sends the fleet managers alert notifications when waste and freshwater tank levels are 2⁄3 full or empty, causing the unit will be out of service shortly. This is sure to boost productivity, allowing your team to have easy access to the information they need to keep restroom rentals operating smoothly.   All-in-One Control System   Nothing is more important than the experience of your guests. We want to ensure that every user has a comfortable experience in a climate-controlled unit with all the amenities of a brick-and-mortar restroom. This is an easy achievement with the app’s system operations control feature. The app detects and controls shore power, interior climate temperatures, and up-to-date weather conditions, giving units winter protection from freezing temperatures and keeping things cool when hot. This ensures that restroom rentals fleet managers stay updated from a remote location - they’ll know what changes are needed to the unit and when, which allows for a consistently pleasant restroom experience for guests. The app also allows for geometric locating, allowing managers to see the exact locations of all portable restroom trailers at all times.   Offsite Unit Management   The most tasking part of operating restroom rentals is basic management. Making the trip back and forth to one or many units takes up valuable time, which can lower efficient customer service. The app addresses this issue as well. Managers have capabilities to remotely control lights, air conditioning, heating, water heaters, and trailer power. This means managers can operate more restroom trailers off-site, expand their operations, and provide superior service. Overall, the Smarter Restrooms App was developed to allow businesses who use or own restroom rentals to manage them more effectively. The app allows the management team to get more done in less time, makes fleet operations easier in general, and saves valuable employee time. Now, with the app, you can ensure that restroom visitors have a top-notch experience with less manual labor. We’ve made it easy so that your business can provide the best service possible easily, allowing you to grow and prosper. By providing this semi-permanent solution for Hershey Park, they were able to save money without sacrificing their value as responsible employees who take time to care for their staff. The 10 Station Classic was the best of all our restroom rentals with its modern design, accessibility, and adaptability that fit right in with the no muss no fuss attitude of the workplace. We are proud to partner with Hershey Park and are excited to get a front row seat during the building and development process of Chocolate Town. We love making our business customers happy, but also value the ability to make someone’s work day that much better.   WINTERIZE YOUR RESTROOM TRAILER   For those who experience extreme weather conditions, we know how hard it can get to maintain your restroom rentals. Maintenance issues are bound to arise: what if your water freezes? What if the hose gets clogged by ice? How do I keep my restroom guests comfortable during use? These are all thoughts we’ve had when thinking about how to continue to improve our product. We want you to have the highest quality experience possible after your purchase. When it comes to cold weather, note these tips to ensure your restroom rentals stay functioning and keeps that high quality for long periods of time. Protect Your Water Supply Wrap heat tape around a ¾” garden hose. Use duct tape to hold it in place, about every 12 inches. Put foam tube insulation around the hose and heat tape. Leave the plugs and power lights uncovered. Run duct tape down the insulation, leaving the connecting ends, plugs and power lights uncovered.

Our company, Portable Restroom Trailers, has made it no secret that employee wellness and care is at the top of our priority list. We have learned over the years that a happy worker makes a successful company and have seen many of our partners succeed with the same mindset. Companies like Google go the extra mile with napping pods, daily meals, and a campus that makes employees feel like they’re at their home away from home. Many have followed in this tech companies footsteps, providing company trips, team building fun, and so much more. Companies are starting to realize that there is value in giving their employees time away from the office to enjoy life outside of the workplace. Shining light on work-life balance has made many big companies more successful and increase employee retention. At Portable Restroom Trailers, we not only value our own employees, but love partnering with companies who understand the value of taking care of their staff. It may not mean napping pods in the office, but little things like providing a comfortable work environment help with employee retention. One company that has realized the value of employee care is Amports. They recently decided to upgrade their employee restrooms. We all take the bathroom for granted since it is a basic part of everyday life, but having access to an elegant restroom with all the amenities adds a little joy to a mundane task. As construction began, they realized that they would need a restroom solution for employees. They didn’t want to sacrifice when it came to an elegant restroom environment and knew that a brick-and-mortar temporary solution was too costly. We were happy to assist them.   A LEADER IN THE AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE INDUSTRY   Amports has worked their way up the corporate ladder to become one of the leading global providers of automotive service. See what they have to say about their ambitious company: AMPORTS has been a leader in the global automotive service industry for over 60 years. With multiple locations in the United States and Mexico, AMPORTS is one of the largest auto processors in North America. AMPORTS provides customers with seamless logistical solutions. All of AMPORTS’ deep-water facilities are located near major highway systems serving densely populated regions. AMPORTS has both long-term leases and property ownership to ensure our customers the footprint they require for today’s volumes and tomorrow’s growth potential. AMPORTS offers real time vehicle tracking, state-of-the-art technology, custom software, and back up technology to ensure quality service. Our teams of experts are ISO 9001:2008 certified and committed to providing you with an exceptional level of personalized service every time. When one of their US locations needed portable restroom trailers, they knew who to call.   A SOLUTION WITH PORTABLE RESTROOM TRAILERS   As we began the conversation with Amports and realized their needs, we were quick to draw up a list of potential portable restroom trailers that would meet their needs. They needed a trailer that could handle a moderate amount of use, was elegant but not overly decorate, and that was easy and quick to set up and use right away. Considering the volume of use and their need for a temporary restroom solution, we suggested several portable restroom trailers and settled on two 3 Station Portable Restroom Trailers, Comfort Series. These units, measuring 16 feet with a 125 gallon fresh water tank and 500 gallon waste tank, are compact but mighty. They can service up to 350 visitors each before requiring maintenance, which allows the company’s employees to use the restroom comfortably and whenever they need it. To ensure safe entry, the porch to each of these portable restroom trailers’ entry doors are equipped with ample lighting for easy access no matter what time, day or night. The entry ways have two sturdy aluminum steps and railing for additional safety. On this Comfort Series portable restroom trailer, guests will find three private bathrooms: two for women and one for men. All restrooms are designed with style in mind, showcasing earth tone interiors with modern flooring and color coordinated surfaces. They also include water saving flushable toilets, a sink vanity with a shatterproof mirror, hand dryer, and paper towels. The men’s suites of these portable restroom trailers are versatile with a toilet and urinal option.To ensure the entire unit maintains a comfortable climate, air conditioning and heat strips are installed and able to adjust the temperature so that outdoor weather does not affect the interior’s experience. As an added measure, insulated walls and ceiling surround the entire unit, further aiding in keeping the interior temperature just right.

This is sure to boost productivity, allowing your team to have easy access to the information they need to keep portable restroom trailers operating smoothly.   All-In-One Control System   Nothing is more important than the experience of your guests. We want to ensure that every user has a comfortable experience in a climate-controlled unit with all the amenities of a brick-and-mortar restroom. This is an easy achievement with the app’s system operations control feature. The app detects and controls shore power, interior climate temperatures, and up-to-date weather conditions, giving units winter protection from freezing temperatures and keeping things cool when hot. This ensures that restroom fleet managers stay updated from a remote location - they’ll know what changes are needed to the unit and when, which allows for a consistently pleasant restroom experience for guests. The app also allows for geometric locating, allowing managers to see the exact locations of all portable restroom trailers at all times.   Offsite Unit Management   The most tasking part of operating a portable bathroom trailer fleet is basic management. Making the trip back and forth to one or many units takes up valuable time, which can lower efficient customer service. The app addresses this issue as well. Managers have capabilities to remotely control lights, air conditioning, heating, water heaters, and trailer power. This means managers can operate more restroom trailers off-site, expand their operations, and provide superior service. Overall, the Smarter Restrooms App was developed to allow businesses who use or own portable restroom trailers to manage them more effectively. The app allows the management team to get more done in less time, makes fleet operations easier in general, and saves valuable employee time. Now, with the app, portable restroom trailers owners can ensure that restroom visitors have a top-notch experience with less manual labor.   WINTERIZE YOUR RESTROOM TRAILER   For those who experience extreme weather conditions, we know how hard it can get to maintain your portable restroom trailers. Maintenance issues are bound to arise: what if your water freezes? What if the hose gets clogged by ice? How do I keep my restroom guests comfortable during use? These are all thoughts we’ve had when thinking about how to continue to improve our product. We want you to have the highest quality experience possible after your purchase. When it comes to cold weather, note these tips to ensure your restroom trailers stay functioning and keeps that high quality for long periods of time. Protect Your Water Supply Wrap heat tape around a ¾” garden hose. Use duct tape to hold it in place, about every 12 inches. Put foam tube insulation around the hose and heat tape. Leave the plugs and power lights uncovered. Run duct tape down the insulation, leaving the connecting ends, plugs and power lights uncovered. If you cover them, you will not be able to connect the water or power. Leave test lights and power lights uncovered (for testing and to be sure the hose remains working).   Create A Box Place two 1500-watt electric heaters under the unit. Be sure you have sufficient power! Build a 2×2 or 2×4 wood frame to fit underneath each side of the unit. This is going to box the bottom of the outside of the unit. Fill any gaps with insulation Cut ½” plywood to fit frame for each side. Be sure to consider stairs when cutting your wood. Stairs should be out and in place before measuring. Measure and cut out a 6”x6” square to cover the drain access. Attach this with hinges so you can access the drain when needed. This will protect drain valve from freezing. Eliminate gaps and holes on the tongue side of the unit with R-13 (or greater) insulation. Staple insulation inside the wood box Cut a piece of insulation in half and lay it on the ground where the box will be placed. This eliminates gaps between the wood and the ground.   After Plywood is Attached Fill any small gaps on the top and bottom of the box with insulation Staple bubble wrap around the outside of the wood unit. This closes of gaps and keeps cold air out and heat in. Use electrical tape to cover plug connections that will remain outside.   For Units Not Used in Winter Eliminate the use of power and water until the unit is ready to be used again. Drain water from all the lines. Add non-toxic RV “Pink Water System” antifreeze Unplug   WE CAN HELP YOU WITH PORTABLE RESTROOM TRAILERS   We are always happy to leave a customer satisfied.
