Emergency Restroom Trailer for SouthTec

When disaster strikes, companies must be prepared to act quickly. When the recent Tennessee tornado hit the town of Lebanon, many businesses small and large were affected. Buildings were ruined, plumbing and electricity was compromised, and many had to shut their doors for repairs. As businesses rebuild and some stay open during repairs, we come in with a restroom trailer that supports workers, staff, and guests as needed.We recently partnered with Southtec, a member of the Autokiniton Global Group (AGG), to supply them with a restroom trailer as they worked on building repairs. Read a little bit more about AGG:“We are a leading Tier1 automotive metals components and assemblies supplier. We focus on: Quality, Delivery, Operational Excellence, Launch Execution, and Customer Service.We balance the needs of all of our stakeholders. We practice an entrepreneurial management style based on rapid decision making and speedy, successful execution. Our products are powertrain agnostic and offer advanced lightweighting solutions through hot stamping, tailor welded blanks and variable wall tubing technology.”As this business rebuilds, they need to ensure that onsite workers, and staff have the necessary amenities to stay comfortable. That’s why they called us for a restroom trailer that would support the business. Solutions with An Emergency Restroom TrailerThis company sees a high volume of employees during its recovery time and saw a need for a bathroom option that could comfortably service them at a frequent rate throughout the day. The company came to us and we were happy to provide them with some portable restroom trailer options.Given the demographics of this company’s staff, which is comprised of mostly male workers, we suggested the 9/2 Male Dominant Trailer. This restroom trailer is unique in that it is outfitted with a larger male restroom suite and a smaller female suite, ensuring that a bathroom is available for those who need it.This 29-foot long male dominant portable restroom trailer has an exterior designed for cleanliness and durability. It is fitted with a 200 gallon fresh water tank and 1150 gallon waste tank to allow for high volume use throughout the busy work day.The aluminum steps are sturdy and rails are added for safe and secure entry. The female suite is fitted with two stalls with privacy walls, a sink, and shatter-proof mirror. The men’s suite has six stalls, three urinals, a triple-sink vanity and mirror. Each restroom has flushable china toilets, a paper towel dispenser, and hand dryer. This restroom trailer has an elegantly designed black and white interior and ample lighting. Despite this being a trailer for basic staff use, the Male Dominant Trailer provides a truly upscale experience with its clean interior design, welcoming users into a high end bathroom experience. Despite its casual purpose, employees can count on an elevated restroom experience. Each restroom suite has air conditioning and heat strips to ensure that the interior climate is always comfortable no matter what outside weather may be like. The restroom trailer also has insulated walls and ceiling to further maintain that comfortable interior temperature.Improve Operations with the Smarter Restrooms AppAs we continue to partner with new businesses, we want to highlight the value of renting and purchasing a restroom trailer with the Smarter Restrooms App feature. Read ahead to discover three key upgrades that the app provides. Receive Timely NotificationsEach portable bathroom trailer unit 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 to 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 SystemNothing 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 bathroom trailers at all times. Offsite Unit ManagementThe 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 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, portable bathroom trailer renters and owners can ensure that restroom visitors have a top-notch experience with less manual labor. WE CAN HELP YOU WITH RESTROOM TRAILERS We are always happy to leave a customer satisfied.

Best Health Practices in the Workplace

Coughing. Stuffy nose. Drowsiness. Sneezing. We all know the signs of sickness and have experienced them throughout our lives. It is expected that we’ll each have some form of cold of flu to shake off at some point in the year - it’s simply a part of the human experience.With cold and flu season well under way and the new COVID-19 virus spreading rapidly throughout the nation, it is important for each individual to stay safe and healthy. There are many things that we can do to make sure that disease doesn’t spread unnecessarily. We thought we should take some time to highlight some tips that will keep you and your family safe. Most of us spend the majority of our week at work. Whether that’s in the office, driving a delivery route, in a restaurant, or at a store, our jobs inevitably put us in contact with other people. The best thing we can do is take preventative measures and ensure we are being mindful of the spreading of harmful germs.See 8 quick tips on how to ensure you and your coworkers stay healthy while at work.1. Wash your handsThis one may seem like common sense, but it is a top preventer of spreading germs. Be mindful of when you’re washing your hands, avoid touching your face, and make sure to give them a thorough wash before eating and after being out in public. 2. Cover up coughs and sneezesEven if you’ve got a tickle in your throat or allergies year round, you never know when you may be infected. Be courteous of others and practice proper etiquette when covering your mouth. 3. Clean your workstationWe are constantly touching our mouse, computer, folders, and other desktop essentials, including the desk itself. Make sure you give your work surface a wipe down and use disinfectant on office essentials like the stapler, printer, and keyboards. Also consider getting fellow coworkers involved in an office-wide cleanup, wiping down door knobs, eating areas, and other communal spots. 4. HydrateWater is key for body health and balance, and can also help you fight off any diseases you come in contact with. Make an effort to drink at least 64 ounces a day for immune system support.5. Get some restIf you are tired, so is your body. Both you and your body simply do not function properly without proper rest. Get to bed on time and enjoy a full night of sleep to support your overall mental and physical health6. MoveAerobic exercise has been known to support the immune system. Get away from your workstation for a brisk walk, or rise early for a morning run. Moving keeps the body strong, inside and out. 7. Take the sick dayIf you feel those symptoms creeping up, don’t expose coworkers to your germs. For those who try to tough it through the sickness, we love your work ethic! But just stay home and get well.8. Don’t stressSelf-care is now more important than ever. Stress puts wear and tear not only on the mind, but on the body as well. Take time to get rest, meditate, exercise and balance your workload to lower your stress levels.For those working in hospitals, as first responders, and others in the health and medical field, take extra care. As more and more people require hospital visits, keep in mind that we are here to help with restroom rentals. Contact us if your business needs options as hospital crowds grow.

5 Health and Safety Tips for Your Event Crowd

When planning an event, there are so many details that tend to seduce the passionate planner away from more mundane tasks. You get swept up by menus and design, entertainment and florals, and may put key experiential things like health and safety at the end of your list. It’s time to reprioritize! With flu season in full swing and the new COVID-19 making its rounds, it is important for event planners to pay extra attention to the health and safety of their crowds. Ensuring that everyone leaves in the same state they entered is more important than ever. Fortunately, the savvy planner has learned that there are quite a few preventative measures that they can take to ensure their event is a safe and healthy environment for guests. See some tips below that will help you to make sure your visitors stay in tip top shape despite the diseases that may come and go.  1. Hydration Many of us take for granted the importance of drinking water. We don’t realize how necessary it is to keep our bodies running. This is especially true when temperatures begin to peak. Hot summer events see many victims of severe dehydration and it’s important that, as an event, you promote drinking water for health and safety. A hydrated body is also more capable of fighting off new bacteria that may enter the body. Make sure to provide free water for guests so you can ensure you do your part to keep your attendees hydrated. 2. Hand Washing Handwashing is one of the best ways to prevent the spreading of disease, especially in a crowded setting. We all know how it goes: you touch a contaminated surface, germs are on your hands, you touch your face, now germs are in your body. It can be a vicious cycle, but can also be easily broken by washing your hands. Ensure your guests are practicing this important health and safety tip by providing hand washing stations in addition to your restrooms. Our Hand Washing Trailer is perfectly equipped to handle crowds of all sizes, allowing every guest access to a sink when they need one. 3. Capacity Let’s deal with the serious stuff first. When planning your event, paying attention to venue size is an important task because if you fill your venue above capacity, you’ll get fined. The fire department enforces capacity for health and safety purposes. So yes, we all want to avoid that fine! But more importantly, this reminds us to be conscious of crowd size. Overcrowded venues can cause violence and spread disease. Double check your capacity requirements and listen to what Fire advises. It’s for your community’s own good. 4. Accessibility When you see the world accessibility, your first thought is probably about those with disabilities. This is good! It is absolutely important to ensure that your event is accessible for all to enjoy and we make ADA restroom trailers to ensure that the bathroom is a welcoming place as well. But let’s take accessibility a bit further. It’s not just about those with disabilities. It’s about ensuring bathroom lines don’t get too long, making sure first aid is available if needed (see #5 below!) and confirming that everyone can get to an exit in case of an emergency. Accessibility to these items and more can make or break your event when it comes to health and safety. Take the time to examine your venue and make sure that accessibility is prioritized for all.  5. First Aid and Onsite Medical In case the worst does happen for someone in your crowd, it is important for you, as the event manager, to be prepared for a medical emergency. No matter what the case may be, from severe dehydration to a small scratch needing a band-aid, making sure you have tools - and the people with knowledge - to assist is crucial. When it comes to events, you simply never know. It’s best to stay fully prepared and ready to take on whatever may get thrown at you. With these tips, you can run successful events while keeping the health and safety of your crowd in mind. Preventative measures like hand washing and hydration ensure your event doesn’t cause a spreading of disease, and maintaining a safe crowd that has access to necessary amenities keeps attendees happy and well taken care of. Let us help your event succeed further with restroom rentals! Our trailers are fully equipped with amenities that help to support health and safety.
