Supporting Women-Majority Businesses with Custom Restroom Rentals

At Portable Restroom Trailers, there are several aspects of our restroom rentals business that we’re quite proud of.  I’m sure you’ve heard us talk about our work supporting first responders and emergency workers.  And there’s a good chance you also know that we love helping small businesses.  But did you know that we also work hard to cultivate relationships with women-owned businesses and women-majority businesses? And there’s a very good reason for that last one.  At PRT, we are both a woman-owned business and a women-majority business.  We’re made up largely of a very dedicated group of hard-working women – so it’s a special treat when we get to help other women-owned businesses comply with local regulations, expand their capacity, and increase their revenue. For several years now, we’ve been growing our participation in the larger community of women-owned businesses.  During that time, one of the best relationships we’ve built is with a Florida company that processes and packages sausage.  Sometimes people act surprised when they learn that our restroom rentals business is run by women.  Well, our sausage-processing partners get the exact same response sometimes – and with that in common, we’ve been able to forge a wonderful partnership together. Making Sausage on the Florida Coast The company we’re working with is located on the gulf coast of Florida, north of the city of Tampa.  They have been in business for many years, operating a full processing facility where their majority-woman workforce carries out every detail of making and packaging sausage for sale in major grocery stores around the United States. With large tanks, onsite refrigeration capabilities, a large sausage processing facility, and a busy loading dock – their facilities take up a full acre of land.  Many of their processes take place in dedicated shifts, with many employees all working at the same time.  When a team of workers reaches their break time, many people all reach the break room at the same time. The management realized several years ago that its employees could make better use of their break time – and the company could increase its effective production time overall – by expanding their restroom capacity.  And, as you would expect, that’s where PRT and our portable restroom rentals come in to the story. A Special Restroom Rentals Agreement for a Special Client We keep a wide inventory of portable restroom rentals on hand at all times.  And we’re proud of our ability to customize units as needed to fit special applications.  One of the most common customizations we do is to make a restroom gender-dominant.  Sometimes we configure a restroom to be male-dominant for construction sites and work camps.  In this case – we needed to deliver a restroom that would accommodate four times as many women as it would men. We talked with the company’s ownership and agreed on which options would be required.  We discussed capacity requirements for each gender.  And we found a great match for their application in our Executive Series Advantage 11-station restroom rentals.  The unit we delivered is divided into two sections – with a 2-station men’s suite and a 9-station women’s suite. The Executive Series provides a luxurious and comfortable experience, and it’s built with tough materials that can stand up to heavy foot traffic from large groups.  Each roomy stall has a 3/4 height privacy door concealing a full-size authentic china toilet.  Locking designer vanities support solid surface countertops with metered hot and cold faucets.  And the entire unit is climate-controlled for year-round comfort – even in the hot Florida summertime. Learn More About PRT Restroom Rentals If your organization is looking for restroom rentals to comply with local regulations, to expand your capacity, or to accommodate more workers – get in touch with us today at (877) 600-8645.  One of our trained representatives can guide you through all of the options and upgrades that are available in our extensive line of portable restroom rentals.  We have a wide range of flexible financing options, with something to fit almost any budget.

Helping Small Businesses Grow with Portable Shower Trailers

At Portable Restroom Trailers, LLC, one of the best aspects of our business is helping small businesses grow with top of the line portable restroom trailers, shower trailers, decontamination trailers, and more.  We have helped small businesses across the country to comply with local regulations, expand their capacities, and to grow their businesses in a sustainable way without taking on unmanageable debts. One of our most recent successes comes from a family-owned small business in the Phoenix area, and they’ve got a great story.  Their company was looking for creative was to expand their operations when they found an unexpected opportunity to help respond to recent natural disasters in their region.  A couple of shower trailers were the missing piece in the puzzle, and we were more than happy to help this company secure the assets they needed to capitalize on an opportunity to both help with an important need and grow their business and the same time. Water Delivery Services for Dust Control and More The business we’re working with was founded more than 10 years ago by a married couple who started out with nothing and built their company from the ground up.  The husband had a strong background in the construction industry, and he identified a need in the Phoenix area for water delivery services to control dust on construction sites. All construction projects in Maricopa County are subject to regional rules and regulations governing the release of dust and contaminants into the atmosphere as a result of building work.  When they decided to tackle this niche, the couple had no equipment and no pre-existing client list.  They invested their own time and money, and worked feverishly to make their dream become a reality. Several years later, they have established themselves as one of the premier dust control service providers in the Phoenix area.  They operate a growing fleet of trucks, trailers, and various water tank systems.  And they have expanded their operations to include a wide array of commercial and residential water delivery services including pool-filling, landscape watering, and even providing water to movie production sets for rain-making machines. A New Niche in Nearby California When the recent wildfires started sweeping across southern California, officials there began reaching out to equipment rental fleets and water delivery services in the region to secure basic sanitary services for the brave men and women who suit up to fight the fires every day.  Many of the firefighters are deployed into remote areas for extended periods, creating a need for portable services like restrooms, shower trailers, and portable laundry trailers to keep firefighters safe, comfortable, and healthy. Because of their extensive water delivery capabilities, our client was able to begin assisting with the support effort almost immediately.  As their involvement in the firefighting arena grew, they noticed that coordinators were having a hard time keeping up with demand for portable shower trailers.  This was an urgent problem, as the firefighters returning from a day’s work were generally exhausted – and very dirty. Our client knew this was one area where they could provide a critical service and create a win-win scenario.  The provision of portable shower trailers was a perfect match for their existing water delivery services, and they could see that the shower trailers would make a huge impact on the quality of life for the firefighters they met during their water delivery runs.  Staying true to the can-do attitude that has made their business a success, they decided to take the plunge, and contacted PRT to discuss their options for purchasing several new commercial grade portable shower trailers. Shower Trailers for Extreme Applications It takes an especially tough and durable shower trailer to stand up to the high traffic and grimy conditions presented by large crews of off-duty firefighters.  But after we listened carefully to their requirements for capacity and durability – we were able to match our new client up with a pair of shower trailers that are perfectly suited to this challenging environment. We delivered two six-station shower trailers, allowing our client to immediately begin providing shower service to multiple teams.  The units we sent provide all the privacy and convenience of a traditional brick and mortar shower house, they’re tough enough to stand up to a crew of hard-working firefighters day after day, and they can easily be moved from one location to the next with a standard towing vehicle. Each stall has its own locking external entry.   Inside is a spacious shower stall and a private dressing area with a built-in utility bench.  The entire unit is climate controlled with a roof-mounted air conditioner and integrated heat strips.  A tankless hot water heater ensures that hot water is always available.  Water can be sourced from the onboard 225-gallon freshwater tank, or the unit can be connected to a city water supply if one is available. Direct Draining Shower Trailers for Remote Locations One special requirement for these particular shower trailers was that they needed to drain grey water directly to the environment, because no sewer service would be available at the firefighters’ camps.  We showed our client several options that met this requirement, with built-in filtration to meet all environmental regulations. If your organization is interested to learn more about the wide range of shower trailers on the market today, please get in touch with one of our trained customer service representatives at (877) 600-8645.  We will be more than happy to guide you through our extensive inventory and help you find a flexible financing option that works within your existing budget.

Supporting Our Troops with Shower Trailers for Rent

Over the years, we have come across an astonishing array of different applications for our shower trailers for rent.  But one of the most important needs we fill goes straight to the heart of our nation, our freedom, and our future.  When the brave men and women of the United States military have a requirement for portable shower trailers, we are always happy to lend our expertise for this important cause.We were contacted recently by a company that provides some very specialized training to some ofAmerica’s most elite troops.  They were making arrangements for an onsite engagement that would take their instructors out into the field for an extended period of time, and they needed to secure shower trailers for the duration of the training exercise.  We were more than happy to help, and as you’ll see we found a unit that perfectly met their needs for capacity, comfort, and durability.Specialized Training for America’s Elite SoldiersOur client provides extremely specialized tactical training for elite military units.  When a combat patrol needs to drop into hostile territory undetected, the preferred insertion tactic is called a military free fall (MFF).  The founder of this company is one of the world’s foremost experts on military free fall training, having created the special forces’ standard Advanced Tactical Infiltration Course (ATIC).You might assume that a military free fall is a relatively simple operation, with several men simply jumping out of an airplane – but we’re talking about something entirely different.  This company has perfected the art of the high altitude high opening (HAHO) insertion.  The insertion tactics they teach involve highly-coordinated teams of special forces soldiers, equipped with an impressive array of equipment that includes an oxygen apparatus, night vision goggles, communications headsets, GPS tracking devices, and more.HAHO insertions are performed at extremely high altitudes, which means that all gear needs to be approved for subzero operation.  And it also needs to allow sufficient dexterity to perform the physical feats associated with jumping out of an airplane and springing into immediate tactical action upon landing.  These precision insertions are a far cry from the paratroopers of World War II, and only the military’s most elite combat units are required to learn these advanced techniques.Shower Trailers for Special ForcesOur client typically conducts their training exercises at their own facility in Arizona, but they recently had to pack up shop and provide an onsite training at an out-of-state military base.  Some of their basic services would be provided by the host base, but they needed to secure their own shower trailers to ensure that all instructors and training participants would have access to a fresh hot shower at the end of each day.After asking some questions about capacity and other requirements, we recommended an 8-Station unit from our Executive Series of shower trailers that turned out to be a perfect fit.  This 32-foot unit is spacious enough to accommodate 8 of America’s roughest and toughest, and built with high-end commercial-grade components that can stand up to hard use and heavy traffic.Two separate external entryways each open into a 4-stall suite with a common area that includes double sinks in a wrap-around vanity and an oversized shatterproof glass mirror.  Each shower stall has its own locking privacy door, behind which you’ll find a changing area with a corner-mounted seat and wall-mounted clothes hooks.  The fiberglass shower stalls are simple and spacious, with a single-lever faucet to easily control water temperature.Luxury Shower Trailers for Professionals and Executives The soldiers taking part in this extended training were no new recruits.  These were highly-experienced professionals, and our client wanted to make sure that they would have acceptable facilities to accommodate their students comfortably.  We assured them that they would be more than happy with our high-end Executive Series shower trailers.Our Executive Series shower trailers are fully climate controlled, with a roof-mounted air conditioner for summer months and integrated heat strips for the winter.  Hot water is supplied by an instant tankless water heater, so that no one ever needs to worry about being last in line.  The attractive interior design features coordinating countertops and designer flooring, with abundant safety lighting at each door for safe entry and exit.If your organization needs to rent shower trailers for any special event or onsite project, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with PRT today at (877) 600-8645.  One of our highly-trained customer service representatives can help you find a unit that perfectly matches your requirements – and we have several flexible financing options to choose from.

Moving the American Economy with High Capacity Restroom Rentals

You could say that Portable Restroom Trailers' flexible and reliable restroom rentals help keep the American economy moving forward.  And in the case of our most recent repeat customer, you can say it literally.We’ve helped any number of businesses find restroom rentals to open or expand product manufacturing facilities.  And in working with our new client, we’re also helping to make sure that many of those products get delivered on time, across the United States.Supply chain management, logistics, and distribution are huge industries, with tens of thousands of companies employing millions of people across the country.  Some companies specialize in specific niches within the industry – like trucking, air transport, warehousing, etc.  And our new repeat customer is one of the rare companies that can handle almost any task from any niche across the entire spectrum of supply chain management.Logistics Experts for Every Aspect of the Supply ChainThe company got its start more than 30 years ago, when they were formed by a larger corporation to maintain a small public airport in Ohio.  That first contract proved to be a fateful start for the company.  In the process of managing that small airport, the company developed expertise in every aspect of logistics and distribution – including conveyor systems, airport ground support vehicles, building & facilities maintenance, and distribution services.As their expertise grew, they expanded their offerings to include not just maintenance contracts, but also design, implementation, and fulfillment work.  Today, they are one of the industry’s most reputable providers of critical support services for airports and corporate distribution systems in the entire country.Updating a Re-Purposed Warehouse with High Capacity Restroom RentalsRepresentatives from the company’s headquarters initially reached out to PRT six months ago to discuss their need for high capacity restroom rentals for a warehouse at a major airport on the East Coast.  The company had accepted a new contract managing the airport’s air cargo facility, and quickly realized that one of the biggest problems they had inherited was a lack of restrooms.The facility they are managing spans almost 400,000-square-feet, with 7 buildings and 17 aircraft loading ramps.  It is used by major carriers including FedEx, UPS, and DHL.  And it is an important distribution hub for commodities including pharmaceuticals, industrial machinery, aircraft components, and seafood from the Atlantic Ocean.The distribution industry was much different when the airport was designed in the 1970s.  The facility was originally envisioned as a series of large empty warehouses with few employees onsite.  But the reality of today’s complex distribution system is much different.  Between the facility’s full-time crews, air traffic crews, and ground distribution personnel – more than 400 people come and go from the facility every single day.Our client needed to find high capacity restroom rentals to accommodate this heavy volume of visitors, and they needed a solution that they could deploy instantly with no budget for structural changes or expansive plumbing projects.High Capacity Restroom Rentals for Industrial Scale ApplicationsAfter hearing about the volume of traffic that they needed to accommodate, we walked our client through several different options before landing on a 9-station unit from our Executive Series that was a perfect match for their requirements.  Our Executive Series of restroom rentals offers a nice mix of luxury and durability, with the ability to accommodate extremely high levels of foot traffic.The 9-station unit that we delivered has dedicated men’s and women’s suites – each with their own private external entry.  The women’s suite features five locking privacy stalls, each with an authentic pedal-flush china toilet.  The men’s suite has two toilet stalls and two wall-mounted water-saving urinals.  The common area of both suites features wall-to-wall lockable vanities with beautiful solid surface countertops, metered faucets, and large shatterproof glass mirrors.The entire unit is climate controlled, with a roof-mounted 13,500 BTU air conditioner and a 5,600 BTU heater ducted into both suites.  And R-11 insulation in all external walls ensures economic and efficient comfort.  While these restroom rentals are renowned for their comfort and luxury – they are also built to withstand heavy traffic, with single-sheet aluminum roofing and seamless non-skid rubber floors.Find the Perfect Restroom Rentals for Your High-Capacity ApplicationIf you are on the market for alternative restroom solutions for any volume of foot traffic – high or low – call us today to learn more about our extensive lineup of restroom rentals.  We keep a huge inventory of new and used units in stock for any size crowd.  You’ll be amazed at our selection – and one of our trained representatives will help you find the combination of options and upgrades that is right for you.And don’t worry about financing!  We have a variety of long-term and short-term rental contracts.  And our lease-to-own program has become extremely popular with clients who don’t have capital for new equipment in their existing operating budgets.  Call us today at (877) 600-8645 to learn more.

Restroom Rentals for California’s Upstart Cannabis Industry

At Portable Restroom Trailers, LLC, we work with clients from across the entire spectrum of American industry.  We have partnered with many of the country’s largest fleets of restroom rentals. We have worked with the most exclusive resorts and event venues from coast to coast.  And the wine industry in California has long been one of our most reliable partners.  But recently we’ve been talking to some clients who are completely new to us. They’re close neighbors of our friends in wine country, although most of them have never grown a single grapevine.  However, you could argue that the plant our new clients do grow is equally valuable, and it is quickly becoming a big factor in California’s diverse agricultural economy.  Like the wine industry and other agricultural businesses, this industry employs a huge amount of seasonal labor at harvest time; and that’s one of the biggest reasons why they have reached out to begin arranging portable restroom rentals for their staff in 2018. A New Kind of Boom Town in California Since residents of California voted to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in November of 2016, the state has been gearing up for a swift uptick in the industrial production of cannabis.  The industry already has some presence in California, as medical marijuana has been legal in the state since 1996.  But with the passage of Proposition 64 last year – cannabis production has been projected to experience massive growth. While medical marijuana generates about $7 billion in national sales annually, analysts estimate that American consumers spend more than $50 billion every year on recreational marijuana.  To keep up with the spiking demand, growers are acquiring huge plots of retired greenhouses that had previously been used to grow cut flowers, fruits and berries, and various vegetables. California will begin issuing licenses for recreational cultivation in 2018.  Small farms have already started appearing all around the state.  And in the Salinas Valley, there are some very serious players emerging.  Some of the farms in that area have more than 360,000 square feet of growing area – enough for 100,000 plants. Early Issues for California Cannabis The transition to industrial-scale cannabis in California has not occurred without some serious early setbacks.  Following the passage of Proposition 64, California’s State Treasurer set up a special task force to determine how cannabis growers would get access to banking services, which are severely restricted by the federal ban on marijuana. Then, just as many growers were gearing up for full production in 2018, disaster struck when the recent California wildfires destroyed a significant amount of the existing medical marijuana farms.  At least 34 farms fell victim to the flames, which also claimed many vineyards and wineries in the northern half of the state. Planning Ahead for Seasonal Restroom Rentals As recreational marijuana growing operations gear up for 2018, one thing that seems to be a theme across the industry is the need to make arrangements for the large influx of workers that will come along with increased production.  At a time when the federal government is projecting significant losses in manufacturing, utilities, and government jobs – the marijuana industry is expected to create more than a quarter of a million jobs over the next two years alone.  Cannabis job websites are popping up, and several job fairs are scheduled for the last quarter of 2017.     While the most glamorous position at a marijuana farm is the Grow Master – these positions are few and far between, with only one or a few openings at any given farm.  Other positions that will be created include retail workers, agricultural specialists, and extraction technicians – who can scientifically separate the plant from its desirable chemical components. Bud Trimmer is the most common entry-level job, and even small farms will require hundreds of employees to complete this tedious work.  As upstart farms begin preparing for the realities of full-scale production – restroom rentals to accommodate harvesters and trimmers are something that they all need to consider. Portable Restroom Rentals are a Perfect Fit for Any Cannabis Greenhouse Portable Restroom Trailers offers a huge spectrum of different restroom rentals, with options available to meet any capacity requirement.  Starting with small one- and two-station trailers – all the way up to 10-stations, or even 20 – we have a trailer to meet the needs of your working crews, even during your busy harvests. Our commercial-grade units are built to resist heavy foot-traffic from hard-working crews.  They are some of the most popular restroom rentals for construction crews across the country, and with good reason.  These trailers are built for maximum durability with minimal maintenance.  The single-piece rubber floors in many of our trailers make cleanup simple and pain-free.  Some of our larger units include showers and locker rooms.  And all our restroom rentals are available with a variety of climate control options to suit your specific conditions. High-capacity tanks and a variety of hookup options mean that we can provide a trailer for just about any location, whether fresh water connections are available or not.  And our portable restroom rentals can easily be moved from one greenhouse to the next by any standard towing vehicle. If you’re planning ahead to accommodate a big workforce in 2018, get in touch with us today at (877) 600-8645 to learn more about our extensive line of portable restroom rentals.  We offer short-term rentals, long-term rentals, and a very popular lease-to-own program.  With a huge inventory on-hand and a variety of flexible financing options – we can definitely help your growing operation get started on the right foot.

Accommodate any Workforce with Portable Restrooms for Rent

What comes to mind when you think about portable restrooms for rent?  If you thought of an old-fashioned porta-potty, then you might think that portable restrooms are a one-size-fits-all solution.  But did you know that you can customize a portable restroom trailer to perfectly fit your company’s needs?  Let PRT show you how to start thinking outside “the box.”PRT builds the most comfortable and hygienic portable restrooms in the world.  We design and build custom units to fit unique applications across any industry you can imagine.  Recently, we were contacted by one of the largest general contractors in America.This company does some enormous construction projects.  They build whole manufacturing plants, lavish corporate headquarters, and even indoor skydiving facilities.  Their projects involve huge crews working shifts around-the-clock.  They want to provide comfortable and clean accommodations for their employees – but they were having trouble finding a restroom trailer that fit the demanding needs of their worksites.   Working with PRT to Find a Custom Solution   The most common floorplans for portable restrooms trailers divide space evenly between men and women.  Many of them allot more space to the women’s suite, which is all stalls with no urinals. For our client, this design meant that a great deal of space was wasted because relatively few women used their portable restrooms.  On big jobs, they needed to provide multiple trailers – and at least half of each trailer went completely unused.They contacted PRT to discuss a custom layout that would accommodate the demographics of their actual work crews.  They still wanted a women’s suite, but they wanted it to be much smaller.  And they wanted the bulk of the trailer space to be dedicated to the men’s suite.We worked closely with our client to identify a male dominant custom floorplan that dedicates about 1/3 of the trailer space to the women’s suite, which has 2 private stalls and a single sink basin.  The remaining 2/3 of the trailer is allotted to the men’s suite which features six extra-spacious private stalls designed to accommodate big men in coveralls, 3 urinals, and 2 sink basins.  It was the perfect fit for our client’s predominantly-male workforce.   Portable Restrooms for Rent for Tough Job Sites   With a patented steel frame design and dent-resistant fiberglass walls, our portable restroom units are built to last – for even the toughest work crews and the harshest job sites.  We use a single piece of all-weather roofing membrane that comes with a 12-year warranty.  And the interiors of our trailers are just as impressive as the exteriors.Every stall in our restroom suite features a locking privacy door and a flushable china toilet.  Solid surface countertops support automatic metered faucets.  And the floor decking is sealed to marine-grade standards to facilitate quick and easy wash-out with a pressurized spray.Regardless of the temperature outside, your crew will find comfort inside PRT’s portable restrooms for rent.  The exterior walls and ceiling are fully insulated for year-round climate control.  The onboard air-conditioner and integrated heat strips keep the internal temperature right where you want it.   Finding the Perfect Portable Restroom for Your Work Crew   While this example features a predominantly male workforce, we can just as easily accommodate a team that’s predominantly female.  We can accommodate workers with special needs, workers who live onsite and need a daily shower, and even workers who need decontamination after handling hazardous materials.  Whatever your company does, we can help you identify the perfect portable restroom to fit your unique requirements.And we don’t only offer portable restrooms for rent.  We maintain a huge inventory of new and used portable restroom trailers.  Our flexible financing options include long-term rentals, a lease-to-own program, and available financing for new and used restroom purchases.  Contact our customer satisfaction team at (877) 600-8645 to learn more.
