PRT Recommends: 5 Shower Trailer Rentals for Short-Term and Long-Term Needs

Showers are one of those amenities that we as Americans often take for granted. Nothing is quite like a hot shower at the end of a long day at work or school, especially if your work is physical. At first glance, many may not realize the value of our shower trailer rentals. Most of us enjoy the luxury of showering at home, but a surprising size of the population actually appreciates access to showers at work or school. Industries like agriculture, construction, and first responders who work long hours, sometimes in relentless heat, have made the business world realize the value of shower stations in the workplace. Shower trailer rentals also hold value on college campuses and in sporting facilities. Our goal is to ensure that these industries and locations have shower trailer rentals that are a good fit for their needs. From small to large volume use to accessible options, we work with our manufacturers to create trailers that are ideal for every need. Below, we have chosen five shower trailer rentals to showcase that are ideal for a variety of needs. These trailers are perfect for temporary, short terms, or for long term semi-permanent solutions. Read and discover which is the perfect fit for your company or organization.   1. Compact   For those needing shower trailer rentals that are compact, the 2 Station Cabo Series is a great fit. This unit does not sacrifice comfort or design due to its small size. Guests will enjoy all the amenities of a standard restroom, just without costing the company or organization too much money. This fund saver can handle small to moderate use without needing to be serviced. It’s ideal for short-term rentals at construction sites and other temporary work stations.   2. Accessible   As managers and business owners, it is important to think about all the various needs of your employees. Having a restroom or shower option that is ADA accessible may be necessary in many cases. When you have a need for shower trailer rentals that are ADA-compliant, units like the  ADA +4 Station Shower/ Restroom Combo, Oahu Series are a perfect fit. The ADA units allow for 360-degree turning in wheelchairs and have added amenities like hand rails for safety and access.   3. Multi-Use   One thing we love about working with our manufacturers is their ability to turn our dreams and unique concepts into a customized reality. We think about every need that our customer may have and turn that need into a portable restroom trailer solution. One of these customized dreams is one of our shower trailer rentals that has multiple uses. The 6 Station Shower/ Restroom/ Locker Room Combo, Oahu Series is a top pick for colleges and offsite work stations. It allows users to shower and store their valuables in a safe place. Another multi-use shower trailer rental is the 3 Station Shower Trailer with Laundry, Oahu Series. This unit is ideal for outdoor event venues and campsites, allowing users to not only shower, but take care of anything that might need washing.   4. High-Volume Use   For those who have a high number of users who will be needing access to shower trailer rentals, we recommend units like the 8 Station Shower Trailer, Executive Series. This unit is designed to service a large volume of users and is designed to impress even those at the executive level. We recommend this trailer for long- or short-term needs.   Now that you’ve gotten a glimpse at some of the shower trailer rentals that we have to offer, browse our full collection here to find a perfect fit for you.

Shower Trailer Rental for Birmingham Football Club

As 2019 continues to go by, thoughts of New Year’s Resolutions may have begun to slip away from our priority list. The gym is no longer as crowded as it was in January and that weekly routine you’ve been trying to stick to may be slipping through the cracks. Experts say that it’s around this time of year that most people forget about those resolutions and slip back into old habits. This is your reminder to get back on track! Slowly incorporate that new routine back into your week, start reorganizing the house, get back to the gym, and do whatever you promised yourself you’d do. We believe in you! For those who had a fitness goal, perhaps the gym isn’t for you. Think back to your childhood. Kids aren’t lifting weights at the gym to stay in shape. They’re playing the sports they love. Perhaps this is a solution for adults as well. The Birmingham Football Club is one of those organizations that provides a sporting activity for adults. This team conditions together, practices, and plays games against other club teams. They get the exercise they need to stay in shape the fun way. They recently had a need for a shower trailer rental, and we were more than happy to assist. Here was the problem they faced: the club spends hours on the field getting in shape and ready for their scrimmages and games. At the end of these practices, they need a way to get refreshed. Showers are provided, but not quite enough to service the entire football team. We knew a shower trailer rental could help.   A SHOWER TRAILER RENTAL SOLUTION   For Birmingham Football Club, ensuring that their players are happy, healthy, and have access to the amenities they need is top priority. They realized that players needed more showers than were available and needed a quick and easy solution. A brick and mortar expansion was too costly, and not really necessary considering the length of their football season. They realized that a shower trailer rental was the perfect solution for their long term temporary need, and that’s when we got the call. As they described their need for a shower trailer rental that would service a moderate to high volume of users, we came up with a list of solutions for them. After reviewing the choices we had to offer, they chose the 8 Station Shower Trailer Rental, Classic Series. The Classic Series is compact yet comfortable environment measuring 24 feet. The clean, fresh exterior and aluminum steps and rails greet guests and ensure that they have safe and easy access. Each entry way is fitted with ample lighting for additional safety upon entering, no matter what time day or night. The interior is fitted with non-skid rubber flooring to ensure that guests can shower safely without worrying about slipping. Eight private showers await each visitor, and curtains ensure plenty of privacy during use. Sinks and mirrors are also provided in this shower trailer rental for other bathroom needs like brushing teeth and fixing hair. The entire unit is insulated to ensure that the interior temperature stays comfortable despite outside weather conditions. It also comes with air conditioning and heat strips, which help keep the temperature that much more comfortable. With a tankless hot water system and showers that are very user friendly, the Classic Series Shower Trailer Rental is equipped for high volume use, easily providing each user with a positive shower experience. Given the shower trailer rental’s easy portability, we were able to transport it to the Birmingham Football Club’s location quickly and efficiently. The shower trailer rental was quickly installed and ready for use. The rental is being used for six months during the club’s active season, allowing them to save money long term while still providing an upscale solution for their players.   THE SMARTER RESTROOMS APP   In February of 2017, we launched the Smarter Restrooms App, and this tool has helped our many partners to more effectively run their shower trailer business. The app, which can be downloaded and used on any smartphone, tablet, or laptop, makes the overall management of restroom fleets convenient and more time effective. As we continue to partner with new businesses, we want to highlight the value of purchasing a shower trailer rental with the Smarter Restrooms App feature. Read ahead to discover three key upgrades that the app provides.   Receive Timely Notifications   Each shower trailer rental 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 will 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 your shower trailer operating smoothly.   All-In-One Control System   Nothing 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 restroom trailers at all times.   Offsite Unit Management   The most tasking part of operating a restroom or shower trailer rental 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 rent or own a shower trailer 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, you can ensure that restroom visitors have a top-notch experience with less manual labor. We’ve made it easy so that your business can provide the best service possible easily, allowing you to grow and prosper.   WE CAN HELP YOU WITH A SHOWER TRAILER RENTAL   We are always happy to leave a customer satisfied.

We have worked with groups much like Birmingham Football Club in the past, along with a wide variety of other businesses and facilities. We have provided our shower trailer rental units as facilities during events, disaster recovery, and for seasonal employees, as well as for those needing more long term solutions, like construction sites, logistics companies, and more. With our continued success partnering with such a diverse range of companies, we are confident in our ability to help those who may have a restroom or shower trailer rental need in the future. Tell us about your business. Do you hire temporary or seasonal staff that need a full restroom option? Have a venue or facility that needs more shower access? How about a nonprofit organization that services those in need? If so, we are here to help you solve all of your restroom problems with a wide range of bathroom and shower trailer rentals. With basic to luxury designs, small to large in size, we have the trailer that is perfectly equipped for your exact needs!   WINTERIZE YOUR SHOWER TRAILER   For those who experience extreme weather conditions, we know how hard it can get to maintain your shower trailer rental. Maintenance issues are bound to arise: what if your water freezes? What if the hose gets clogged by ice? How do I keep my restroom guests comfortable during use? These are all thoughts we’ve had when thinking about how to continue to improve our product. We want you to have the highest quality experience possible after your purchase. When it comes to cold weather, note these tips to ensure your shower trailer stays functioning and keeps that high quality for long periods of time. Protect Your Water Supply Wrap heat tape around a ¾” garden hose. Use duct tape to hold it in place, about every 12 inches. Put foam tube insulation around the hose and heat tape. 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 Box Place 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. This is going to box the bottom of the outside of the unit. Fill any gaps with insulation Cut ½” plywood to fit frame for each side. Be sure to consider stairs when cutting your wood. 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 box Cut 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 Attached Fill any small gaps on the top and bottom of the box with insulation Staple 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 Used in Winter Eliminate 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” antifreeze Unplug   We hope that the Birmingham Football Club finished out a successful season and look forward to partnering with them again in the future. We are happy to know that our shower trailer rental unit provided their players with an easy way to get fresh and clean after long practices and games.

Portable Restrooms for Rent for Red Table Talk during NBA All Star Weekend

One of America’s favorite pastimes has always been sports. Whether you’re watching the kids play at little league, get involved in the action yourself in an adult club league, or rooting on your team while watching the big game at home, nothing unites the people quite like a good game. When it comes to sports, our portable restrooms for rent have been a valued addition at practices, arenas, tailgating parties and more. We have realized that sports fans want to have a pleasant experience wherever they go, and a pleasant experience rarely includes porta potties. That’s why we’ve spent years upgrading and perfecting the restroom trailer, creating a portable restroom option that has all the amenities of a home restroom. One of the world’s favorite sports is basketball, and the USA has some top notch players. Every year, NBA Allstar Weekend showcases the skills of the best of the best, inspiring kids at home to practice harder and adults watching to simply say WOW. This year, Allstar Weekend took place in Charlotte, North Carolina, and A-listers from all over the country flocked to this city to be inspired by the outstanding talent of some of the NBA’s best players. During the weekend, Jada Pinkett-Smith’s wildly popular talk show, Red Table Talk, hosted a show at the home of Steph Curry’s parents. That is one star-studded sentence! As they prepared for the show’s taping, they realized they’d need a restroom option that could accommodate a small crowd. The Curry’s home restrooms weren’t quite equipped to handle this large volume of visitors, but they didn’t want to sacrifice quality for their highly esteemed guests. That’s when the show’s production team thought of portable restrooms for rent.   PORTABLE RESTROOMS FOR RENT AT THE RED TABLE   Red Table Talk is a show that has aimed to have hard conversations about American scandals, culture, and hot topics. From the modern women’s rights movement to self love and mental health, Jada Pinkett-Smith has created a show that is filled with powerful messages for spectators all over the nation. Her visit to the Curry’s house during the NBA’s Allstar Weekend was another one for the books. More big conversations were had and added to the show’s first season, which has been a hit from day one. We were starstruck and excited when we got the call from producers asking for portable restrooms for rent. They told us about their needs, which included an upscale short-term option that would not disappoint some of America’s biggest stars. They needed a trailer that could handle a small volume of use during the show’s taping. As they described their needs, we were eager to offer a diverse list of our portable restrooms for rent to choose from. Their team browsed and settled on the 2 Station Calypso Series, an elegant option fit for A-list stars like the Curry family. Like all of our portable restrooms for rent, the 2 Station Calypso is built with a durable, scratch-proof exterior. It measures 12.5 feet with a 370 gallon waste tank and 100 gallon fresh water tank. To ensure safe entry, the porch to each of the portable restroom rental’s entry doors is equipped with ample lighting for easy access no matter what time, day or night. The entry ways have two sturdy aluminum steps and railing for additional safety. On this Cabo Comfort Series portable restroom rental, guests will find three private bathrooms: two for women and one for men. All restrooms are designed with style in mind, showcasing earth tone interiors with modern flooring and color coordinated surfaces. They also include water saving flushable toilets, a sink vanity with a shatterproof mirror, hand dryer, and paper towels. The men’s suite of this portable restroom rental is versatile with a toilet and urinal option.To ensure the entire unit maintains a comfortable climate, air conditioning and heat strips are installed and able to adjust the temperature so that outdoor weather does not affect the interior’s experience. As an added measure, insulated walls and ceiling surround the entire unit, further aiding in keeping the interior temperature just right. Overall, this is a versatile unit that worked perfectly for the needs of Jada Pinkett Smith’s talk show during NBA Allstar weekend, allowing A-listers to enjoy a comfortable, accommodating, and upscale restroom experience.

Shower Trailers for Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Program

There is nothing we love more than a passion project. Over our years as a business, we have had the pleasure of working with a large variety of companies and organizations, and when we run into one with a good cause, we work even more passionately than usual. As a conscious company, we value organizations that spend their time, money, and efforts on the betterment of humankind, and we are thankful for their service. Because we provide restroom and shower trailers, we often come across organizations who work with those less fortunate. From nonprofits that help the homeless to hospitals that house long-term patients, groups like these are who truly make our work important. We love being at the tailgating party too, but when it comes to businesses whose purpose is to improve the lives of others, we can’t help but feel the passion - it’s contagious! We are always ready to help a nonprofit or organization in need when their goal is to improve the lives of the needy. When the Salvation Army came to us with a new project, we were eager to hear about their needs and ready to provide them with a unit that would help their community.   A PROGRAM FOR HUMANITY   Whenever we work with the Salvation Army, we are floored by the many hats this organization wears and the impact they have on communities nationwide. This time, their organization in Los Angeles reached out with a need for shower trailers. This establishment has a very specific purpose. They serve a low income side of the City of Angels, providing services for the community. Many visitors they see are homeless and trying to get back on their feed. The office’ purpose is to rehabilitate those who are struggling. With mental health being a hot topic in the nation today, we can’t help but admire this organization’s efforts. They exist solely to get those struggling back on their feet. They want the community to thrive with healthy minds and healthy bodies. The provide a wide variety of solutions for those in need, and they are ready to add yet another service to their list. With shower trailers, they could provide the homeless community with something that most of them have no access to. Those of us with homes often take for granted the luxury of a shower. Many of us can’t imagine life without. For those living on the street, a hot shower is hard to come by. It is something that each American should have. When the Salvation Army described the situation and highlighted that many of their visitors have no access to bathrooms, we felt their passion for their community and their eagerness to provide this everyday amenity to those who don’t have it. Their passion was palpable and contagious - we were eager to get started and send the shower trailers they needed ASAP.   A Solution with Shower Trailers   Salvation Army needed an affordable restroom solution for the many men and women that they provide services for. They also wanted to give them access to showers, granting them their human right to proper sanitation. The organization needed a full service restroom for many users throughout the busy day. As we learned about their needs, we browsed our collection of shower trailers and chose an ideal solution. With their need for both bathrooms and showers, we chose the 6 Station Shower/ Restroom Combo, Classic Series. This trailer, measuring 20 feet, had all the amenities they needed in a restroom. Like all of our shower trailers, this unit is built with insulated walls and ceiling, keeping the interior temperature comfortable for users no matter what outdoor weather they may be experiencing. The exterior is clean and durable with dent-proof layers to ensure this is a unit that stands the test of time. The Combo Classic Series has six unisex suites, each with their own separate entrance. Each entrance is equipped with aluminum rails and steps for safe access, and lighting is added at each porch for use anytime, day or night. Our shower trailers are always built with designer non-slip flooring for added safety. As you enter each suite, they are equipped with all the amenities of a home bathroom, like a shower, flushable toilet, sink, and shatterproof mirror. The toilets are built with ceramic china and the showers are temperature adjustable for comfort. This unit has an 850 gallon waste tank and 150 gallon fresh water tank, allowing for moderate to heavy use throughout the day. Rest assured, your restroom managers won’t need to worry much about tank levels. This unit is equipped to last through the crowd, and has a tool that makes fleet management easier.   THE SMARTER RESTROOM APP   In February of 2017, we launched the Smarter Restrooms App, and this tool has helped our many partners to more effectively run their shower trailer business. The app, which can be downloaded and used on any smartphone, tablet, or laptop, makes the overall management of restroom fleets convenient and more time effective.

This is sure to boost productivity, allowing your team to have easy access to the information they need to keep your shower trailer operating smoothly.   All-In-One Control System   Nothing 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 restroom trailers at all times.   Offsite Unit Management   The most tasking part of operating a restroom or shower 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 a shower trailer 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, you can ensure that restroom visitors have a top-notch experience with less manual labor. We’ve made it easy so that your business can provide the best service possible easily, allowing you to grow and prosper.   WE CAN HELP YOU WITH SHOWER TRAILERS   We are always happy to leave a customer satisfied.

Maintenance issues are bound to arise: what if your water freezes? What if the hose gets clogged by ice? How do I keep my restroom guests comfortable during use? These are all thoughts we’ve had when thinking about how to continue to improve our product. We want you to have the highest quality experience possible after your purchase. When it comes to cold weather, note these tips to ensure your shower trailers stay functioning and keeps that high quality for long periods of time. Protect Your Water Supply Wrap heat tape around a ¾” garden hose. Use duct tape to hold it in place, about every 12 inches. Put foam tube insulation around the hose and heat tape. 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 Box Place 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. This is going to box the bottom of the outside of the unit. Fill any gaps with insulation Cut ½” plywood to fit frame for each side. Be sure to consider stairs when cutting your wood. 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 box Cut 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 Attached Fill any small gaps on the top and bottom of the box with insulation Staple 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 Used in Winter Eliminate 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” antifreeze Unplug   If you are a nonprofit organization or know a nonprofit who could benefit from having shower trailers, please get in touch with us.
