3 Innovative Applications for Municipal Restroom Rentals

Portable Restroom Trailers, LLC (PRT), provides restroom rentals for customers from every corner of the American business landscape.  We work with small mom & pop shops and Fortune 500 companies. We work with huge federal agencies and small non-profit charities. And, increasingly, we work directly with local municipal governments to provide restroom rentals for a wide variety of applications ranging from one-time events to long-term installations. Restroom rentals have never played a bigger role in American cities than they do today.  As municipal governments are adopting more active and involved approaches to city management, temporary restrooms have become important resources for city managers to control and optimize the experience that citizens and visitors have in their cities. We’ve seen some great applications from municipal governments over the past few years, and we wanted to bring a few of them to your attention to help get your creative juices flowing about the ways that restroom rentals can help you to run smooth programs and host successful events. #3 – Maintaining Maximum Capacity for Baseball Season As baseball spring training gets underway for the year, we’re reminded of a great deal we worked on with the city of San Jose.  While San Jose’s most famous team is the city’s NHL hockey franchise, the city also hosts several popular baseball teams. Between the minor league San Jose Giants, the San Jose State University Spartans, and hosting annual divisional championships for California high schools, the city keeps a busy baseball schedule from spring through fall. The city needed to provide temporary restroom accommodations in order to maintain maximum capacity at their municipal baseball stadium.  The temporary setup needed to provide the same level of comfort and sanitation as the stadium’s permanent restrooms – so traditional port-a-potties were out of the question.  They needed a high-capacity, heavy traffic solution that was also clean and comfortable – and we found the perfect unit for the job in our inventory of portable restroom rentals. #2 – Support Thriving Arts & Entertainment Districts We worked on another great municipal project with the city of Tarpon Springs on the gulf coast of Florida.  The city wanted to support its thriving arts and entertainment district for continued growth. Several modern museums around the perimeter of the city already had sufficient facilities.  But in the city center, smaller galleries, gift shops, and cafes popped up in older buildings with limited restroom capacity. The city wanted to support the developing district with a temporary solution while they worked out the plans and budget for a long-term fix. PRT’s portable restroom rentals were a great fit for this application.  The unit we delivered was small enough to fit in the available lot with no problems, with enough capacity to support the big crowds that gather for weekends and special events.  The unit included an accessible ADA-compliant suite – with hookups to connect directly to city utilities. #1 – Back to the Beach with Seasonal Restroom Rentals Beachfront cities on both coasts know how tough it can be to maintain small structures like bathrooms and bath houses in the punishing conditions that occur at the edge of the ocean.  The salt, wind, and storms that are common on the coast are not found anywhere else – and they create a special challenge for city managers who need to have parks and beaches ready for crowds as soon as the busy tourism season gets underway. We have helped many cities to keep their attractions at full capacity despite winter damage by supplementing their permanent brick and mortar restrooms with portable restroom rentals.  Our inventory includes many models that are specially designed to stand up to the salt and sand of public beaches. We have portable shower trailers, ADA-compliant accessible units, and many units that come standard with four-season climate control for a comfortable experience all year long. Our Inventory of Municipal Restroom Rentals is Unmatched We keep a wide-ranging inventory of portable restroom rentals in stock at all times to ensure that we have the right resources for your city – right when you need them.  We’re proud of our ability to respond quickly to support urgent requests, and that is the primary reason why so many cities around the country are PRT repeat customers. Our inventory of restroom rentals runs from single-station units all the way up to high-capacity trailers with 20+ private suites.  And it ranges from commercial models with industrial-grade components to the most luxurious models available anywhere – with designer finishes, high-end stereo systems, and even working fireplaces. We have ADA-accessible restrooms, semi-permanent park model (“skid”) units, and we can handle most customization requests.  We also have a full assortment of emergency response trailers available for instant deployment – including shower trailers, decontamination trailers, laundry trailers, and more. If you work in municipal government and your city has an application that you’d like to discuss, get in touch with PRT today.  Our trained staff will help you narrow down your options and find the best solution for your unique situation. We have a variety of flexible financing options to choose from; including long-term rentals, short-term-rentals, and a popular lease-to-own program.  Give us a call at (877) 600-8645 to learn more.

Restroom Rentals for a Large-Scale Renovation Project

Over years of providing restroom rentals for businesses, events, and individuals, one of the most common scenarios we’ve come across is providing portable restroom accommodations as a temporary measure while a permanent restroom is being renovated.  People don’t ever stop needing to use the restroom, regardless of whether their normal facilities are available or not. And all across the land, when restroom renovations leave people without a place to handle their necessary business, PRT is there to save the day with sanitary, comfortable, luxurious portable restroom rentals. Temporary restrooms can be a challenging proposition in some working environments.  Construction workers are used to temporary restrooms, using them virtually every day they’re on the job.  Your average team of construction workers wouldn’t even bat an eye at a traditional porta-potty. But office workers, on the other hand, can be harder to accommodate. Office workers are accustomed to having full-service restrooms with flushing toilets, privacy, and hot water for handwashing.  Many are not fond of the idea of temporary restrooms, and most would balk at using a porta-potty for an extended time. But show your average office worker the interior of one of PRT’s luxury portable restroom rentals, and they’ll have no problem at all. When One Job Has Many Stakeholders We recently got a call about a restroom renovation taking place at an office for one of the largest electric companies on the east coast.  The existing bathrooms were scheduled to be entirely remodeled, and temporary accommodations were needed for about fifty employees who work in the building. Our client was not the energy company, but the construction company that won the contract to remodel the restrooms.  They were contracted to manage all aspects of the project, and to their credit they did not overlook the requirement for temporary restroom rentals to accommodate the building’s staff. When the construction company reached out to us, they were a bit skeptical that they would be able to find restroom rentals that would be nice enough to keep the electric company’s staff happy and comfortable.  We reassured them that we could provide restrooms every bit as nice as their permanent facilities, and nicer if needed. We’re happy to say that the solution we delivered has been very well received by the office workers, and everyone involved in this deal has had nothing but great feedback. Luxurious Restroom Rentals for Renovation Projects After speaking with the construction company about the required capacity and the expectations of their clients at the electric company, we found a perfect fit with a 3-station unit from our Comfort Elite line of luxury restroom rentals.  The unit we delivered has enough capacity to support the office’s entire workforce – and all the features and comfort that they’re accustomed to in their permanent restrooms. The Comfort Elite 3-station has 3 individual private suites – 2 for women and one for men.  Inside each roomy suite is a full-size, fully-functional china toilet – just like the toilets indoors.  There is a spacious wall-to-wall vanity with solid surface countertops, liquid soap and paper towel dispensers, an automatic metered faucet, and a large shatterproof glass mirror.  The men’s suite also has a wall-mounted ceramic urinal. The environment inside the unit is comfortable and relaxing, with year-round climate control.  Each suite has a built-in air supply and return, ducted to a low-profile roof-mounted 9 MBTU air conditioner.  And 5600 BTU electric heat strips are integrated into each suite for warm comfort in the winter months. All three suites have their own folding stairway, with abundant LED porch lighting for safe entry and exit at any hour. Learn More If your business is planning a restroom renovation in the coming months, don’t forget to plan ahead for the restroom rentals you will need.  We have an extensive inventory, with design packages ranging from tough industrial setups to posh executive luxury.  We can accommodate most requests for customizations and upgrades – and we always have ADA-compliant models in stock. PRT can find a solution to fit almost any budget, thanks to our wide range of financing options.  If our standard short-term rental doesn’t suit your needs – ask about long-term rentals, flexible financing with easy approvals, or our popular lease-to-own program.  Get in touch with us today at (877) 600-8645 to learn more.

Supporting Big Construction Projects with Convenient Restroom Rentals

As a major supplier of restroom rentals, PRT does a lot of business with construction companies and general contractors. When a company goes on site to erect a new building, build a bridge, or take on a civil infrastructure project – their team is going to need a place to use the restroom for the duration of the project.  And PRT’s luxurious restroom rentals are renowned across the industry for their comfort, cleanliness, and affordability.After years of helping some of the world’s biggest contractors, we’ve gotten pretty good at estimating the restroom capacity for a team of construction workers.  But we ran into an unusual situation recently while working with one of the top contracting firms in the southeast.  When we started asking questions about the size of the team, we figured out that the restroom wasn’t for their team at all.  They were doing a massive restroom remodeling job, and the restroom rentals were for their client.Big League Contracting in the Southeastern U.S. If you’ve ever paid attention to the construction of a new home in your neighborhood, you probably have a solid appreciation for the complexity of building and remodeling jobs.  A homebuilding project is a serious undertaking, with a complicated mix of scheduling for workers, equipment, materials, and budget.  Now, imagine that same process applied to a building that is two, three, or even ten times as big as a house.That’s the type of project our client works on.  They’re one of the premier general contractors in the southeastern United States – and they have built up an impressive portfolio of projects that include car dealerships, community centers, hotels, and office buildings.When they reached out to us recently, they were starting a bathroom remodeling project at a large restaurant.  The contractor had their own portable restrooms for their crew.  And the restaurant had made arrangements to accommodate its customers while the remodel was underway – but one group was left out.  There wasn’t enough capacity in the temporary bathroom arrangements to accommodate the restaurant’s staff.  And that was PRT’s task – to provide sanitary and comfortable restrooms for the restaurant’s employees, with hot water hand wash to comply with state and local regulations.Compact and Convenient Restroom Rentals for Any Application After a few conversations to learn more about the size of the staff, their shift schedules, and their normal accommodations, we recommended a 3-station unit from our Comfort Elite line of luxury restroom rentals.  This versatile design provides a luxurious experience with reliable hot water hand-washing to comply with government regulations for the food service industry.The 3-station unit we delivered features two women’s suites and one men’s suite – each with its own private locking external entryway.  Inside each spacious suite is a fully functional authentic china toilet with a foot pedal flush mechanism.  The back wall of each suite features a wall-to-wall locking vanity with a beautiful marble countertop and a metered hot water faucet.  All of the necessities for a comfortable and sanitary experience are provided, including a liquid soap dispenser, a convenient paper towel dispenser, and an in-counter wastebasket.These restroom rentals stay comfortable year-round, with a roof-mounted 13,800 BTU air conditioner and integrated heat strips in each suite.  The entryways are safe and secure at any time of day, with bright amber porch lighting and an LED occupancy indicator light for each suite.  Maintenance needs are kept to a minimum with an oversized onboard waste tank, which has an LED level-indicator in the trailer’s large mechanical room.  And fresh water can be provided from a direct hookup, or from a 100-gallon onboard tank.Flexible Financing Solutions for Short-Term and Long-Term Restroom Rentals We work with contractors and rental fleets of all sizes, from every corner of the country.  And over the years, we have put together a flexible array of financing options to make sure that we have a solution to fit any budget.  We offer short-term and long-term rental agreements; we have easy-approval credit checks; and our lease-to-own program has quickly become a favorite option for many of our smaller clients.If you would like to learn more about our extensive inventory of luxury portable restroom rentals, give us a call today at (877) 600-8645.  One of our trained customer service representatives will help you find the perfect solution for your unique needs – well within the bounds of your existing budget.

Restroom Rentals for the Next Generation of Shipping Services

The annual holiday season is a boom time for shipping companies.  Every shipping company experiences a seasonal uptick at this time of year – so much so that many companies require large numbers of additional staff, along with temporary office space and restroom rentals to accommodate them all. We recently provided some high-capacity restroom rentals to a Chicago company that has made itself a premier player in the modern shipping industry – not by driving trucks, but rather by driving the technology surrounding shipping forward. However, like any other big shipping company – they still have a huge seasonal surge during the holiday gifting season.  They bring in large numbers of seasonal staff during this busy season.  And we’re proud to say that this year, PRT luxury restroom rentals became a key part of their ongoing success. An Original Leader in Modern Shipping Technology When you think of a traditional shipping company – the image you conjure up probably includes 18-wheelers, flat-bed railroad cars, planes, and delivery vans.  And while all of these elements are still an important part of the shipping industry in 2018, you might be surprised to see just how much progress has been made in the area of high-tech supply chain management. Our new client got their start in 1988, when they set out as a small group to develop a modern new approach to the age-old problems of shipping and supply chain management.  Over the years since that time, they have experienced tremendous growth – becoming a Gold Certified Microsoft Partner and expanding to include three separate divisions. One thing that never changed is their dedication to providing best-in-class service for their customers; while also providing a best-in-class working environment for their employees.  Since its inception, the company has been owned by its managers and managed by its owners.  It remains that way today, and the company’s track record over the past three decades is proof that this is a winning formula. The Face of Today’s High-Tech Supply Chain Management One division of our new client’s business is dedicated to outsourced managed transportation services – and it is this line of work that led them to contact us about seasonal restroom rentals.  They provide a single source solution for companies that want to outsource all aspects of their supply chain and/or distribution networks.  And many of their clients experience increased demand during the holiday gifting season. Another division of their company is dedicated to transportation management software.  They offer hosted or cloud-based logistical management solutions built on the Microsoft Dynamics framework.  Their solutions can be purchased as packaged products, or tailored for special applications using a software-as-a-service business model. The third division of their company conducts independent supply chain network optimization studies.  This niche gives the entire company a unique and valuable perspective of the industry-wide state of affairs in today’s fast-paced world of supply chain management.  And it provides the perfect vantage point from which to develop custom software and service offerings to maximize productivity and efficiency for their clients. Accommodating Seasonal Employees with High-Capacity Restroom Rentals Handling the seasonal uptick in shipping for a single company is one thing.  But when you are responsible for the shipping needs of hundreds of different companies – well, that’s a whole different level of complication and coordination.  But that’s just what our client deals with every year when the holiday season rolls around. They manage a highly-optimized distribution network in the greater Chicago metropolitan region, and the number of people required to make it work seamlessly climbs steeply as the volume of shipping peaks during the holiday season. Managing this process entails an astonishing level of attention to detail, with massive efforts to handle hiring, equipment acquisition, and employee accommodations.  They need to provide working space for all their seasonal hires – and, of course, they need to provide comfortable and sanitary high-capacity restroom rentals.  That’s where PRT comes in, and we found the perfect solution to meet their needs. Restroom Rentals for High-Capacity, High-Traffic Applications After listening to our client’s estimates for capacity, traffic, and scheduling requirements, we recommended a 10-station unit from our Coastal Series.  The spacious floorplan features a dedicated women’s suite with 5 stalls with floor-to-ceiling privacy walls.  Within each locking stall is a full-size, fully-functional flushing china toilet.  The men’s suite features 2 privacy stalls and 3 wall-mounted china urinals with privacy dividers. In the common area of both suites, a beautiful designer Corian-style countertop sits atop a wall-to-wall locking vanity.  An in-counter sink features a metered automatic faucet.  Both vanities include a framed shatterproof glass mirror, a paper towel dispenser, a liquid soap dispenser, and an in-counter wastebasket. The entire unit is ducted for climate control, with built-in air returns, a roof-mounted air-conditioner, and integrated heat strips throughout both suites.  Internal temperature in both suites is regulated with a simple wall-mounted thermostat. Find the Perfect Restroom Rentals Solution for Your Business’s Unique Needs We were thrilled when we learned how pleased our new Chicago client is with this high-traffic, high-capacity luxury restroom rental solution.  They decided to extend their rental contract for an extended period – making them the latest addition to our long list of repeat customers. If your business is looking for luxury restroom rentals for a unique application, get in touch with PRT today at (877) 600-8645.  One of our trained representatives will guide you through our extensive selection of new and used luxury restroom rentals.  We have a wide range of flexible financing options available, and we would love to help you find the perfect solution for your restroom rental needs.

Helping Pumper Services and Small Fleets with Luxury Restroom Rentals

The restroom rentals business is a wide-ranging industry with many different niches and specializations.  At PRT we have a unique role in the big picture.  We serve as a hub of sorts, connecting players from every nook and cranny of the industry.  We work with original equipment manufacturers, service providers, fleet owners, and end users… pretty much everyone. If it involves luxury restroom rentals, PRT is involved in one way or another.   We work with some of the most exclusive clients in the industry, and many of the largest restroom rentals fleets in the world rely on PRT for our proven experience and expertise.  But we take even more pride in our work with small businesses.  Early on, we adopted strategy for client satisfaction that means we give the same level of service to each and every one of our customers.  And when you look at our history of successful relationships with pumper services and small fleets – you can see how that strategy has paid off over the years. Pumper Services – Unsung Heroes of the Restroom Rentals Industry Without local pumper services companies – there would be no restroom rentals industry.  It’s as simple as that.  Over the years, waste tanks on portable restrooms and luxury restroom trailers have gotten larger and larger.  But at some point, no matter how large a tank is – it needs to be pumped clean. Pumping is obviously not the most glorious aspect of the business.  To the contrary, pumping is one of the grittiest, most thankless jobs we know of.  But it is a key piece of the puzzle, and without pumping services many rental fleets – big and small – would be out of business in short order. We’re always happy to hear from any company involved in pumper services – and we have helped many local pumper services to expand their operations and grow their revenue by adding high-end luxury restroom trailers to their list of services.  We work with pumper services across the country every day.  We recognize the key role they play – and we have fine-tuned our product offerings and financing options to make sure that we can always accommodate their needs. Small Fleets Bring Restroom Rentals to Remote Locations Some of our clients have huge fleets of equipment, with huge regional service areas.  Others are small, family-owned local companies that operate in smaller areas.  Some of our smaller clients carve out their livelihoods in one state, one county, or even one small town. The team at PRT assigns the same priority and urgency to all our rental fleet clientele – regardless of the size of their territory or the size of their fleet.  After all, we’re a family-owned small business ourselves! We know that small fleets provide critical services in remote areas where companies and their employees would otherwise have very few options for safe and reliable sanitary services.  We believe that people in every locale deserve the same level of service – and the same access to luxurious accommodations.  And this belief is always evident in our product offerings and financing options. Flexible Financing for Pumper Services and Small Rental Fleets PRT offers a wide range of flexible financing options, to ensure that our full line of luxury restroom rentals is always within reach for any size company.  We have a variety of short-term and long-term rental contracts available – so that any of our partners, in any location, can offer the very best accommodations for their clientele.  And our easy-approval, competitive-rate financing program has helped many small rental fleets to expand their operations with affordable new luxury restroom trailers. Our new lease-to-own program has quickly become a very popular option with pumper services and small fleet owners who want to acquire additional rental units, but don’t have the capital on hand to purchase new equipment outright.  Our lease-to-own program allows you to take ownership of any unit over time, with low monthly payments that can be arranged to fit almost any operating budget. PRT’s Extensive and Exclusive Inventory of Luxury Restroom Rentals We keep a wide-ranging inventory of new and used luxury restroom units in stock at all times – so that our selection is second to none in the industry.  Our inventory ranges from high-traffic, high-capacity commercial units for construction sites and remote work camps… all the way up to high-end luxury units designed for executive retreats and exclusive destination weddings and special events. And our inventory doesn’t stop at luxury restroom rentals.  We stock every type of mobile sanitation resource available – including mobile hand-washing stations, ADA-compliant accessible restrooms, shower trailers, laundry trailers, environmental decontamination trailers, emergency response units, and more. If you operate a pumper service or small rental fleet, and you would like to learn more about your options for acquiring new equipment to grow your business and build your revenue – please get in touch with PRT today.  Call us now at (877) 600-8645, and one of our trained representatives will help you find the perfect solution for your business and your budget.
