ADA Restroom Trailers

When planning events, there are many considerations to be made. What food will you serve? Which guests have allergies? Who will DJ? What music should they play? What is the color palette? Where is the venue? Are you stressed yet? Because we are. One place you may not want to think about is the bathroom. For decades, the standard party protocol has been to rent those nasty, unsightly plastic porta potties and call it a day. What if we told you that there was a better option? Well, there is. If you are looking for a reason not to rent those stinky toilet saunas, check out the five signs that your event could use an upgrade to something better–the portable restroom trailer. 1. Your Event Budget is Roomier Than You Thought If you are a party or wedding planner, working at a campaign or charity event, a concert venue, or any other host of one-off shin-digs, you are likely working with a tight budget. Maximizing your budget is every planner's dream, but what if you have a bit more to work with than you had anticipated? You may think of using your extra funds to hire a better DJ or more decorations, but you may have yet to consider spending it in the bathroom department. Upgrading to an event restroom trailer means a more pleasant experience for your guests and you. They are easier to maintain, spacious, and far more pleasing on both the eyes and the nose. Plus, after you have spent all the time and money curating the perfect event experience, you can choose a restroom trailer to match your vibe. If you want to level up your event, you have to start where people least expect it. A terrible restroom experience is expected and soon forgotten, but a great one? People will be shocked by that, remember it, and tell stories about it. If you have extra room in your budget, it's a surefire sign that it’s time to upgrade your drab and stinky porta potties to a luxury bathroom trailer. 2. Your Guest List Keeps Growing Unlike those nasty plastic excuses for toilets, bathroom trailers are made to accommodate large guest lists. Many trailers offer upwards of four or six units each, and their tank capacity can handle guest lists of hundreds. Plus, with more space in each, lines are shorter, and guests can be happier. Instead of getting more plastic boxes, when your guest list grows, see it as a signal to upgrade to a toilet trailer rental. 3. You Need More Than Just Toilet Facilities If you are working with an event that is days long, or guests are getting super dirty (think a festival or a mud run), an upgrade to a portable restroom trailer is right for you. With trailers that offer the best of both worlds, an upgrade to a combination bathroom and shower trailer is an excellent move if you want your guests to freshen up during or after the event. Each unit has total privacy, so there is no need to worry about catching a peek of something (or someone) you’d rather not see. Guests will surely be happy not to get into their cars and travel home dirty or smelly, and you’ll keep a smile on their faces. Bottom line: If you have a messy event, it’s time to upgrade to a combination restroom and shower trailer. 4. You Have a Classy Theme on Your Hands There is nothing worse than seeing a horrifically long line for those plastic porta potties at an event…except for maybe seeing it in the background of your pictures. If you are hosting a high-class event, it may be time to splurge on some high-class bathrooms to go with it. The benefit of luxury restroom rentals is that they don’t have to ruin your event's theme. Whether under the sea-chic or Gatsby black tie, there is a restroom trailer with features to meet your needs. Marble-effect countertops, deep basin sinks, and recessed lighting in vanity mirrors all add a classy touch to your formal event that any high-society attendee will surely appreciate. If your party attracts those everybody knows, it’s time to upgrade where they go. 5. Brick-and-Mortar Restrooms are Far Away Even if you have access to standard restroom facilities, if they are a trek-and-a-half away, your guests won’t be too pleased with needing to leave the action to do their business. If you have the space in your budget and want to ensure your attendees are close to the action for as long as possible, upgrading to a trailer bathroom rental is a smart move. With the freedom to move that your venue itself does not have, a mobile restroom trailer can help move facilities to you and your guests. The Time Is Now Upgrading to a restroom trailer can significantly enhance your event experience in ways you might not have considered. Whether you have a larger budget, a growing guest list, or faraway facilities, mobile restrooms can address those challenges and elevate your event. If you recognize any signs above, it’s time to make the switch and impress your guests or attendees. Video Infographic For years, the go-to solution for events has been renting plastic porta-potties. However, there’s a better option. Check out this infographic for five signs your event could benefit from upgrading to a portable restroom trailer.

As we enter the depths of the summer months, we also enter the height of the outdoor social season. Festivals, charity events, days in the park, and camping trips are all hallmarks of this time of year. They get everyone outside together and bring communities closer together. Although it can be an overlooked detail for guests, proper facilities are vital to the success of these events, and one such facility is the restroom. Here’s how mobile restroom trailers play a small part in making a big difference. Making Park Days Accessible Historically, trips to the park haven’t been a walk in the park for everyone. Those who experience health challenges that require frequent restroom use have often found difficulty with the lack of facilities available to them. With the widespread use of portable restroom trailers, parks are more prepared for those with disabilities, both visible and invisible. Additionally, a wide range of ADA restroom trailers are on the market today. These make trips to the park and the bathroom accessible for those with mobility issues. Everyone needs to use the restroom, and everyone should have equal access to facilities, no matter where they are. Portable restrooms offer comfortable, accessible bathroom facilities so no one in your community feels left behind on a sunny day out. Comfort During Disaster Natural disasters cause a great deal of heartache for affected communities but also introduce many issues in the aftermath. Damage to homes and businesses leaves many needing a place to shower, use the restroom, or do laundry. The last thing you want during a crisis is to feel like you have nowhere to go, and sometimes, a warm shower and fresh clothes can make all the difference in feeling a bit more normal in a bad situation. Mobile laundry trailers, shower trailer rentals, and restroom trailers are all available for communities impacted by disasters. They offer a comfort that your run-of-the-mill plastic porta-potty can’t–something that looks and feels more like home. Normalcy is a beacon of hope in times of need, and these trailers offer a taste of that. Helping Those Experiencing Homelessness Winter is often the time that people focus on community outreach for those suffering from a lack of housing. Cold weather and the holidays remind people of the luxuries they have: a roof over their heads and warm meals. For people experiencing homelessness, though, these unmet needs are felt all year round. Often, those struggling with homelessness go for extended periods of time without showers and wear the same dirty clothes day after day. This causes significant hygiene issues within struggling groups and can create roadblocks when finding jobs or connecting with other community members. Portable shower trailers and laundry units can meet these hygiene concerns. These units offer a safe and private place for struggling individuals to get themselves and their clothes clean. These units are well suited for charities working in outreach, as they are reliable and easily moved between vulnerable locations. Not only do these facilities help people without homes restore a feeling of cleanliness and dignity, but they also help them take one step further in overcoming their current challenges. Clean clothes and a fresh shave can be a game-changer in a job interview, putting them on the right track and changing their lives. Mental well-being can start with physical well-being, and these units offer the opportunity to improve both in a way that brings communities together and propels them forward.

Championing Community Events Whether it’s a charity gala or a community picnic event, black-tie or slip-and-slides, events like these do so much for an area's unity. Wherever the venue may be, restroom trailers can be there to make sure the event goes off without a hitch. Municipalities can take advantage of the great weather the summer months offer by hosting these events outdoors, and restroom trailers make that possible by bringing the proper facilities wherever needed. Regardless of where the event is or how many will attend, there is a trailer that can help you achieve your goals of uniting your community. There are many trailers available that can service guest lists, both big and small. Don’t worry about your trailer holding up to the whole community coming out for your event…your success shouldn’t be cause for concern, and restroom trailers are up for the task. Sporting events, festivals, outdoor concerts, movie nights, and barbeques all offer communities the chance to come out and be together. These opportunities for togetherness contribute to a sense of unity, which is so important, especially when hard times come.

When hosting a large event, you must ensure your guests can use the bathroom without hassle or embarrassment. Catering to those with mobility issues should be a top priority. That's why we put together an easy-to-follow guide outlining the necessary steps you need to take to ensure your event and your event restroom trailer stay ADA-compliant. Understanding ADA Guidelines The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 sets legal requirements for restrooms, including portable toilets, at all public events. This is to guarantee equal opportunities for all those with disabilities to have access to facilities, such as bathrooms. You may ask yourself, do I have to abide by these laws for my event? The safe answer is probably yes, but we’ll get into it. You will need ADA trailers if your event is public or private (like a wedding) but at a hired venue or in a building. You will also need them if you are adding units to your fleet for business. 5% of your toilets must be ADA-compliant to ensure you comply with these needs. This means for every 20 stations, one needs to be accessible. Additionally, the compliant cubicles should be available to both genders. You can offer a male and a female station or a unisex station. These apply to traditional bathrooms, portable toilets, and restroom trailers. These requirements are what you control. You are responsible for ordering the proper units and the correct ratio of compliance to standard. What Do Trailers Need To Have To Be Accessible? 1.     Space and Dimensions ADA-compliant restroom trailers must have a floor space large enough to accommodate a wheelchair and for that wheelchair to move with ease. Guidelines require clear floor space with enough room for a wheelchair to move 360° in without obstructions. 2.     Entrance and Accessibility The entrance to a facility must be mobility-device accessible, which includes walkers, canes, and wheelchairs. This involves ramps of a particular slope, grab bars that can hold up to use, and wide doors with easy-to-open and close hinges to ensure users can get in and out of the toilet safely and independently. 3.      Supportive Features The ADA places a heavy emphasis on grab bars throughout the facility. This includes the ramp up to the unit, as well as near the toilet and on the walls. This provides stability and support for those who may not have a mobility device or need help getting in and out of one. Because of these grab bars, there are also requirements on the unit's structure. Walls must have a proper carrying capacity to ensure that bars are secure, and the wall is also. 4.     Accessible Fixtures and Amenities ADA-compliant restrooms rightfully require all fixtures and fittings within units to be accessible to those with disabilities. This involves lower toilet and sink fittings, appropriately positioned mirrors, soap and paper towel dispensers, a larger toilet seat, and easily flushable toilet mechanisms. 5.     Signage and Communication Toilet units that are ADA-compliant must have signage indicating that they are such. This might sound fancy, but you’ve seen it before. The blue wheelchair sign does the trick with this, as long as it includes braille labeling. This signage should be well placed in a visible area and direct users to the proper facility. 6.     Maintenance and Inspections The ADA requires regular inspections and maintenance on units to maintain compliance. Periodic checks of grab bars, ramps, and other essential features to accessibility ensure they stay in proper working order. Repairs and replacements may be necessary to pass checks and keep status. Where Can I Find ADA-Compliant Trailers? Portable Restroom Trailers proudly offers the largest selection of accessible or ADA restroom trailers in the United States. While ADA standards on the details of units change year to year, we can guarantee that our compliant trailers abide by the regulations of the year they were produced and include the features listed above. Now, when searching for ADA restroom trailers, it is important to note that there is a difference between those labeled as accessible and those that comply with regulations. Although a unit may be large enough to accommodate a wheelchair or have a ramp, ADA units have specific certifications for that year, which grant them the title of certified. If you need more than just toilets, but showers too, ADA shower trailers are also available. These meet the requirements outlined above but also include shower benches for ease of use.

Portable restroom trailers offer a touch of sophistication beyond standard portable bathrooms, making them ideal for various businesses and events. However, with so many options and features available, deciding what to add to your fleet and when can be overwhelming. To simplify your decision-making, here are five crucial factors to consider when ordering portable restroom trailers: 1. Define the Purpose Before delving into all the options, you must clarify the primary purpose of your trailers. Do you need additional bathroom facilities for a large event? Are attendees seeking refreshing showers or a space to change clothes? Do they need a space to store items securely? Consider specific requirements, such as gender-specific facilities, to narrow down your choices and ensure that the trailers align with your needs. 2. Identify Who You’re Serving Who will be utilizing these trailers? Is it possible that families may be using your facilities and need a little extra space, or are there any wheelchair users that require easy accessibility? Consider the diverse needs of your clientele. Don’t just purchase a standard facility that needs to be altered or, even worse, can’t be changed to meet your customers' needs. Opt for trailers that meet those requirements without the need for extensive modifications. For example, ADA restroom trailers can serve those who need a little more space or help. 3. Determine Capacity Requirements There are trailer options available to serve anywhere from one to fourteen or more people at a time. When purchasing, consider how many people will need to use the facilities at any given time and how well you can manage lines for these facilities if you know you won’t be able to avoid queues. More attended gatherings warrant higher capacity trailers; your choice can and should reflect that. Additionally, the nature of the event can affect the frequency of use. If the purpose of your trailer is to serve at events with food and drink, particularly alcohol, think about how much more frequently the attendees will need to visit the facilities. If servicing an event that involves getting muddy or sweaty, consider how many more people will want to shower off.  If it’s more for family events, think about all the tiny bladders and diaper changes that will need more frequent bathroom access. 4. Consider Necessary Features Beyond basic amenities, identify specific features essential for your audience's comfort and convenience. Do you require hot and cold running water for handwashing? Is air conditioning necessary for summer events? Make a comprehensive list of requirements to ensure the chosen trailers meet all essential criteria. With so many options, there is sure to be a trailer that meets these requirements. 5. Optimize Timing for Purchase Strategically timing your purchase can yield financial benefits, particularly for business owners. Buy portable restroom trailers before the end of the tax year to take advantage of tax benefits. If you are a registered business and intend on using your trailers for your business (not personal) purposes at least half the time, then your purchase of a portable restroom trailer can qualify for a 179-tax advantage. This means that you can write off the purchase of your trailer on your taxes and save you money. After you order your trailers, don’t forget to complete the proper IRS form 4562 to get your savings. There is a lot to consider when choosing a portable restroom trailer. The best way to tackle the overwhelming nature of trailer purchases is to make a list featuring all your information on your events or projects. List out: How many people will be using it When your clients will need the facilities How many stalls or trailers you will need Essential accommodations and features Then, you are ready to begin your search. This ensures that you know what you are looking for, and the near-endless options become a blessing, not a burden. Don’t forget to consider what facilities you need and what access you have to resources that service them. If you aren’t confident in tracking how often to service your trailers or when they suddenly need it, prioritize features like The SmarterRestrooms app. Smart mobile restroom trailers help you keep track of tank levels, power sources, temperature, and security, all from your phone, making your ability to remember when to service your trailer one less thing to consider. With this newfound knowledge under your belt, finding the perfect portable restroom trailers becomes a seamless process. Whether catering to a large event or facilitating everyday business operations, prioritize functionality, accessibility, and user comfort to make an informed decision that meets your specific needs and exceeds expectations.
