Lake Norman Charter School, a 5th through 12th grade college preparatory school in Huntersville, N.C., has a motto: "Together we learn, lead, and serve." In order to do that, the students need a safe, efficient, and high-quality environment to learn the skills they need to become leaders. To help the students in their endeavor to become community leaders, the school has decided to make some changes.LNC has been renovating and upgrading their campus. Part of the future upgrade includes locker rooms and a concessions area for sporting events. During the time in which the campus is being renovated, they needed additional restroom accommodations for the fields and athletic area. In order to provide safe, clean, and handicap accessible facilities for students and guests, the Lake Norman Charter Athletic Booster Club purchased an ADA-compliant portable restroom trailer.The Comforts of Home ADA + 4 portable restroom trailer has 5 private toilets to accommodate large crowds on game days. Four toilets are standard restrooms, and the fifth suite is a larger, unisex ADA bathroom with plenty of space for a wheelchair to maneuver. It also contains wheelchair accessible features. Additionally, the ADA restroom includes a non-skid ramp for extra safety while entering and exiting. This series of restroom trailers offers all the comforts of home in a powder room-like atmosphere with large vanity mirrors, LED lighting, ceramic toilets, and hot water for a clean hand wash.The easy-to-clean interior and well lit exterior of restroom trailers provides guests with a sanitary and safe experience. The restroom trailer was a perfect solution for the school to add restrooms while adhering to their budget. Portable Restroom Trailers hopes the renovations go well so that the school can continue their excellence in teaching the leaders of tomorrow.Go Knights!

This month, Portable Restroom Trailers provided facility services to Kings Mountain National Military Park. Two of our restroom trailers will help the park with the thousands of visitors it receives to the National Military Park and the Military Cemetery. Kings Mountain National Military Park, located near Blacksburg, SC was established to commemorate the Battle of Kings Mountain. During the Revolutionary War, the American Patriots won a pivotal victory against American Loyalists. The battle, fought in 1780, was unique as it was one of the few battles fought entirely by Americans, with no assistance from British troops. The National Military Park was established in 1931 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. Visitors to the park can appreciate many historical demonstrations, films, and a 1.5 mile battlefield trail. Other special events are held throughout the year to educate visitors on military and life skills and to honor the losses during the battle. The arrival of two restroom trailers in September comes at an opportune time. On October 7th, the Park will hold its annual ceremony on the anniversary of the 1780 battle. The day includes a wreath laying ceremony at the Kings Mountain Monument and a program in the amphitheatre. All weekend, guests will be able to experience musket and rifle demonstrations, children’s militia drills, 18th century medicine, cooking and music demonstrations, and more. To make sure no one is deprived of experiencing the history of Kings Mountain, the Military Park’s facilities are completely wheelchair accessible. This means that when they added additional restrooms with one of our restroom trailers, wheelchair accessibility was a necessity. The Comfort Series Elite ADA Plus 2 is one of our most popular handicap accessible restroom trailers. It includes a unisex ADA restroom plus two individual restroom suites to accommodate all guests. Our ADA-compliant restroom trailers can also come with a unique hydraulics system that allows the entire restroom trailer and ramp to lower to the ground. This design adds an extra level of comfort for handicapped guests as it results in shorter ramps and a smaller overall footprint. PRT is proud to aid Hydra Engineering in honoring the sacrifices made at Kings Mountain and the great work the National Military Park continues to do.

With such great clients and such high end restroom trailers, we often get the opportunity to provide facilities for state officials, governors, and even presidents. Last Wednesday was no exception as we provided a restroom trailer at a ground breaking ceremony in Lordstown, Ohio.The event, which was hosted by the Regional Chamber in Youngstown Warren Area in Ohio, was attended by Lt. Governor Mary Taylor. With Ohio’s and Taylor’s goal of becoming more job and business friendly, the ground breaking of the new Matalco Inc. Aluminum Facility in Lordstown was a step in that direction.Matalco is a leading producer of high-quality extrusion grade billet and forging stock. They will invest more than $100 million in a 200,000 square foot plant that will provide 60-80 full-time jobs.“The Matalco announcement has been a long time coming as the Chamber has been working with Matalco leadership for over a year and a half,” said Sarah Boyarko, the Chamber’s vice president for Economic Development, North America.The ground breaking ceremony, held last Wednesday, September 17th, was attended by Matalco representatives, members of the Regional Chamber, and other state officials. In order to provide facilities for the outdoor event, the Chamber looked to Portable Restroom Trailers.Knowing that the attendees would be such important members of the community, the organizers opted for a Comfort Series Elite 3 Station portable restroom trailer to accommodate the high end guests that would be using it. The restroom trailer has 3 separate restroom suites to give each guest a private and comfortable restroom experience.Restroom trailers are ideal for corporate or government events. Ribbon cuttings, ground breaking ceremonies, or other outdoor events don’t need to lose their upscale and prestigious feel because of uncomfortable or unsanitary portable toilets. Adding a portable restroom trailer to your outdoor event will ensure that your guests are comfortable and that they speak fondly about your event.We’re looking forward to assisting Matalco Inc. and Lordstown, Ohio as they both continue to grow and develop!

The Dolphin Research Center’s mission is to promote the peaceful coexistence between marine mammals, humans, and the environment we share. Portable Restroom Trailers’ mission is to promote the peaceful coexistence of construction crews and the many visitors the research center receives.Starting next month, the Dolphin Research Center in Grassy Key, FL will be under renovation for a year. The Center purchased a portable restroom trailer to provide their guests with restrooms while their current restrooms are under construction.The Dolphin Research Center was originally opened as Santini’s Porpoise Training School by fisherman Milton Santini in the 1940s. After going through several owners, the Dolphin Research Center was officially founded by Jayne and Mandy Rodriguez in 1984 as a non-profit organization. Their goal was to create a place where the public could learn about marine life and young people could train and develop their skills for a career caring for and training dolphins.For visitors, the Dolphin Research Center offers a variety of activities. These activities include educational options such as observing dolphin research, chatting with trainers, and seeing live trainer presentations. There are also many fun activities including a family Sprayground, the Veterans Garden, and onsite dining. The Center will offer even more when their renovations are complete next year.To keep the center open and keep their many guests comfortable during their stay, Portable Restroom Trailers has supplied a Comfort Elite restroom trailer. This trailer can support up to 550 guests. It includes four unisex private restroom suites and an attached wheelchair accessible bathroom suite.As a wheelchair accessible facility, it was important for the Dolphin Research Center to have a restroom trailer that was ADA compliant. The new ADA Plus 4 Portable Restroom Trailer includes a ramp leading to a spacious bathroom with wheelchair accessibility and easy-to-use door handles and push buttons. Additionally, the hydraulics allows the entire restroom trailer to be lowered to ground level to make for a very easy entrance for all of the center’s guests.

After 7 years in business, several restroom conventions, and trips to manufacturing plants, Portable Restroom Trailers has become very involved in the restroom operator community. One of the things we enjoy most is the ability to give back by helping new businesses enter the industry. If you’ve thought about starting your own business or adding portable restrooms to your existing products or services, PRT is here to help. We’ve already had the privilege of helping Seven Hills Events get their restroom trailer business started this summer. Here are a few lessons new businesses can learn from Seven Hills Events and our own experiences: “As a startup company, we benefited from establishing B2B relationships first instead of directly marketing to individual clients.” There is great value in building a strong network of business relationships to help start your company. Because of Seven Hills’ relationship with us, we are able to work with them to help rent or sell their restroom trailers. They have also partnered with tent companies and other event planners to help bring in more clients. “This is a seasonal business, and I recommend new companies start in the late fall or early winter to build a stronger book of summer business.” Seven Hills Events is focusing their business on weddings. This means that their spring and summer will be much busier. Starting your business in the off-season gives you a chance to build your business connections and grow a base of new customers. Focus on quality… Like Portable Restroom Trailers, Seven Hills rents out high quality restroom trailers. Their trailers have china sinks and toilets, nice soaps, and a seating area to provide an upscale experience. Moving away from port-a-potties is a great way to stand out and deliver excellent value to your customers. PRT is on a mission to encourage other companies to take on rental trailers to replace port-a-potties and change the experience everywhere. We have helped 5 other businesses get started in the restroom trailer industry and look forward to helping many more. If you have any questions about portable restrooms feel free to reach out to us!

Two years ago, Hurricane Sandy struck the east coast. The Statue of Liberty, one of our most treasured national monuments, is still rebuilding from the storm. Liberty State Park has worked with Portable Restroom Trailers since it reopened a little over a year ago.Liberty State Park is one of the areas surrounding Liberty Island that was damaged most by Sandy. The park took nearly a year to re-open and offer ferry services to the island. As the most popular destination in the State Park system, with 5.4 million visitors last year, it was great to have the park open for all of 2014.During the storm, the terminal building where the ferry tickets were sold and security screenings took place was damaged significantly. The temporary security screening area is using a restroom trailer while the park continues to rebuild.Last year, we supplied Liberty State Park with a 6 unit Advantage series restroom trailer. This year, they are renting our ADA+2 restroom trailer. This is a great trailer to add handicap accessible restrooms to an existing portable restroom or to an existing restroom facility. With the diverse number of visitors the ferry to Liberty Island receives each day it is important to accommodate everyone.As a State Park, it’s essential for Liberty State Park to comply with New Jersey’s regulations. Our restroom trailers are considered ADA Compliant as a permanent structure in all 50 states. They include easier access, shorter ramps, more space, and easy operation. The restroom interiors are also designed with an attractive interior to satisfy all kinds of guests.It’s no surprise Liberty State Park is the most popular state park. As the rebuilding continues, we look forward to seeing more and more people flock back to the park and to the Statue of Liberty. We’re grateful Portable Restroom Trailers has a role in the process.
