Disaster Relief Bathroom Trailers

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.

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.

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 IN USE FOR THE 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” antifreezeUnplugThese steps will not only keep your purchased or rental equipment operating smoothly during cold weather seasons, but help with overall maintenance  and long-term operations as well.

For our neighbors in California, wildfire season has just begun. Due to the dry heat of the state’s summer climate and the lack of rain for months after that, the vegetation is fragile and ready to light up at any spark. Year after year, we do what we can for the volunteers and survivors of wildfires, sending portable restroom rentals to organizations and communities that need them. During these hard times, individuals and families can lose everything. We are thankful for the first responders that risk their lives to save others and the many nonprofits that work to get victims back on their feet. When you’ve lost everything, something as simple as a clean restroom or hot shower can provide comfort and normalcy. That’s why we prioritize assisting with portable restroom rentals when disaster strikes. As California and other places prepare to battle fires, we want to provide our suggestions for portable restrooms that can help the firefighters battling the fire, nonprofits assisting those displaced, and community buildings that provide temporary housing for those affected. Browse these portable restroom rentals and see if they are options that could assist your organization.   Portable Restroom Rentals for Relief   1. Small For those who need a restroom that services a smaller volume of users, units like the 2 Station Malibu Comfortx Series are an ideal choice. Perfect for first responders working in the field, this is one of our portable restroom rentals that we’d highly recommend for rescue staff and volunteers. The simple yet elegant design lets employees know you care without overdoing it with unnecessary fluff.  2. Accessible Accessibility is a crucial necessity that makes everyone feel included. No matter what industry you work in, providing ADA-compliant restroom trailer rentals is occasionally required. ADA +9 Station Sierra Series is ideal since it provides those needing an ADA option with their need while also servicing those who do not. It is also well suited for large crowds. 3. Medium The 8 Station Grand Mariner Series is designed for a moderate amount of use. Servicing up to 550 guests, this is an ideal option for large city halls or churches that may be providing housing for displaced residents. This is one of our restroom trailer rentals that will ensure all who need to use the restroom can access it, no matter how crowded the space may get. 4. Shower Option For organizations wanting to provide a full restroom experience for the community, volunteers, or staff, the 3 Station Combo, Cabo Series is a great solution. After long hours working to battle a fire, feeding those who have lost everything, or being someone who has lost their childhood home, the heat of a shower can be a therapeutic solution for everyone involved in this disaster.     Order Your Bathroom Rentals   These portable restroom rentals and more are simple yet effective ways to provide relief for first responders and comfort for those who must rebuild.

When our founder first started Portable Restroom Trailers, one major goal was to ensure we could provide restroom and shower trailers for those who need disaster relief. There isn’t much that we experience in life that is quite as devastating as natural disasters. Many of them are unpredictable and sporadic, leaving communities unsure about their safety. Some seem like they aren’t going to be huge only to completely wipe out a city. Even when a disaster ends up being smaller and less damaging than predicted, the costs of preparations and evacuations can add up quickly. After a natural disaster hits, whether that be a tornado, hurricane, mudslide, fire, or other acts of nature, we see fellow Americans lose everything and suffer through the rebuilding it takes to put life back together. We are thankful for the nonprofits and first responders that are on the ground assisting these victims and do what we can to support them. When an individual has nothing, something as simple as a restroom or shower can be comforting. That’s why we prioritize providing our restroom and shower trailers to the organizations helping them. A shower is something we truly take for granted in everyday life. It’s such a mundane task, yet for these survivors, it’s a small slice of normalcy when hope seems to be lost. Below, we outline three ways our shower trailers have aided in disaster relief over the years, and we plan to keep supplying to whoever needs them. If you or your community suffer through a natural disaster, you can trust that we are here to assist.   First Responders   Many of us have benefitted from their service, especially during emergency situations. Thanks to these brave men and women, fires get put out, families at risk of drowning in floods are rescued, animals are saved, and many who would have been seriously injured or left for worse are helped. Being a first responder of any kind is a tasking job that demands long hours, heavy lifting, and difficult working conditions. At the end of each shift, these rescuers are exhausted and beat, yet ready to get back out there and do it all again tomorrow. Shower trailers can provide a quick, relaxing break for those who need it most. We’ve all gotten out of the shower feeling energized and rejuvenated, and these brave people deserve that feeling most.    Nonprofit Organizations   Alongside many first responders are the nonprofit organizations that show up at disaster sites to support. They provide housing, food, water, beds, and so much more for the affected communities. Without them, it would be much harder for our neighbors to get back on their feet. Fortunately, nonprofits bring volunteers who are willing to sacrifice their safety and time for free, and these volunteers deserve the best treatment they can get. A shower can, like with the first responders, relieve stress, tension, exhaustion, and more. Our shower trailers are designed to give these fearless working a chance to get some privacy, cleanliness, soothing and comfort that a hot shower can provide.    Community   A nonprofit organization’s job would be twice as hard without a location to operate. Thanks to local churches, community centers, town halls, and other buildings open to the public, offsite nonprofits are able to come and set up a space for those who are rescued. Food, water, and supplies are often given to these survivors, and many of them will need that location as housing. Survivors go through so much during natural disasters, and some lose everything. We have seen shower trailers provide families with a place to clean up after their trauma, comfort those who have lost so much, and give a sense of normalcy among all of the chaos. This is why we love working with nonprofits - supplying survivors with something as simple as a shower can go a long way.   Shower Trailers in Your Community   We never know when disaster will strike, but rest assured, no matter what your community may experience during these hard times, we are here to help in the small way that we can. Let our shower trailers bring rest to your volunteers and staff, and comfort to those who may have lost it all. Browse our inventory of shower trailers here, and if you know of a nonprofit, community location, or first responder site that could benefit from a trailer, contact us. We’d be happy to begin the conversation and help those who need it. 

Over the years, we have gotten to partner with a large number of various organizations and industries. When it comes to portable bathrooms for rent, we always set aside time to ensure we give back to the community. This always leads us to the doors of amazing nonprofits around the country. From the first responders that aid in initial disaster relief rescue missions and efforts to the nonprofits that hope to provide a little comfort for the homeless community, we love to do what we can to help these groups do as much as possible for those that they assist. We think that the volunteers and workers who choose to serve others deserve the very best, so we have handpicked our recommendations for portable bathrooms for rent that not only give comfort to the less fortunate, but provide relief for the brave men and women who assist them as well. These options are both durable and efficient, with interior design touches that create a comfortable atmosphere.

The clean and simple interior greet guests and provide a comfortable and pleasant experience.  5. 10 Station Comfort Series For large facilities who need to service hundreds of employees and volunteers a day, this is the portable restroom trailer rental for you.

With evacuation orders in Georgia, flooding already a problem in the Carolinas, and many more emergency situations along the coast, this storm is a threat to many homes, families, and communities.

With 2018 nearly in rear view, it’s a great time to reflect on the year and recognize how much  growth has taken place. As we reflect, we realize that so much has happened this year. This year’s Hurricane season was one of the worst we’ve seen to date, leaving behind a magnitude of devastation. There were 8 hurricanes total (2 being major hurricanes), resulting in over 30 billion dollars of damage. Our hearts go out to those affected throughout the south and east coasts of the United States, along with Mexico and Europe who also have been greatly affected by the storms. Here at Portable Restroom Trailers we made it a wish to help in any way possible, and it feels good to know we turned our goal into a reality.

We’re glad to see locals getting back to their lives and starting to rebuild.

Plenty of charities and other organizations have been involved since the first storm made landfall in the Florida Panhandle. Organizations like Team Rubicon, Samaritan's Purse, All Hands and Hearts Smart Response, and Direct Relief, and so many more that have all contributed tremendously.
