Our company has made it no secret that employee wellness and care is at the top of our priority list. We have learned over the years that a happy worker makes a successful company and have seen many of our partners succeed with the same mindset. That’s why we manufacture some of the best portable restroom for rent options in the industry - to ensure businesses can provide an upscale portable restroom options for clients and employees alike.
Companies like Google go the extra mile with napping pods, daily meals, and a campus that makes employees feel like they’re at their home away from home. Many have followed in this tech companies footsteps, providing company trips, team building fun, and so much more. Companies are starting to realize that there is value in giving their employees time away from the office to enjoy life outside of the workplace. Shining light on work-life balance has made many big companies more successful and increased employee retention.
At Portable Restroom Trailers, we not only value our own employees, but love partnering with companies who understand the value of taking care of their staff. It may not mean napping pods in the office, but little things like providing a comfortable work environment help with employee retention. This includes comfortable restrooms.
One company that has realized the value of employee care is South Atlantic. Read a little bit about them:
“From the humble beginnings of a predecessor's family startup almost 50 years ago, several expansions, and several acquisitions, South Atlantic has risen to become the premier galvanizing company in the southeastern United States.
Now, with seven coating facilities in seven southeastern states as well as a centralized manufacturing center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, no competitor can offer the service, convenience, or variety of products that South Atlantic can provide.
Our continued growth and success, however, has not been due to bricks and mortar; but rather, is a direct result of the quality and dedication of our employees. Regardless of what the particular employee's duties may be, together we are committed to doing whatever it takes to meet and exceed the customer's expectation. And, that is what South Atlantic is about.”
South Atlantic often has crews working offsite on long-term projects, and just because these workers aren’t in their brick-and-mortar workplace does not mean they should sacrifice those important amenities. Their managers came to us looking for a portable restroom for rent solution and we had options!
Elevating the Job Site with a Portable Restroom for Rent
South Atlantic shared details about the job site and the project that their team would be working on. They needed a portable restroom for rent that would service a medium-sized team during the work day. They wanted employees to feel cared for, so preferred an option that was well-designed and had an elegant atmosphere.
After hearing about their needs, we were quick to suggest the 6 Station Classic Series, a portable restroom for rent that is both efficient and inviting.
This 16 foot portable restroom for rent is equipped for moderate use with a 605 gallon waste take and 200 gallon fresh water tank. The exterior is cleanly designed and sturdy, built to take on the most uncomfortable of weather climates. Each suite has safe aluminum steps and a handrail for guided access. Visitors will also find ample lighting for safe access no matter what time, day or night.
This portable restroom for rent unit features a men’s and women’s suite. The women’s suite is fitted with a central powder room accented with a large two sink vanity, shatterproof mirror, and a paper towel and hand dryer option.
As visitors enter the unit, they’ll find a womens suite with three stalls and a mens suite with one stall and two urinals. Each stall is protected by ¾ height privacy walls, and walls are also provided for additional privacy at urinals. The entire portable restroom rental is equipped with non-slip flooring, flushable toilets, and a sink vanity with a shatterproof mirror.
The entire unit also features air conditioning and heat strips in order to maintain a comfortable interior temperature no matter what outside weather may be like. These strips can easily increase or decrease the temperature of the unit when necessary, ensuring that guests have a comfortable experience.
As we continue to partner with new businesses, we want to highlight the value of using a restroom rental with the Smarter Restrooms App feature. Read ahead to discover three key upgrades that the app provides.
- Receive Timely Notifications
Each portable bathroom trailer unit comes with water saving flushable toilets, running water from sinks, and sometimes, showers and other amenities. This means that fresh water tank and waste tank levels require careful monitoring.
No need to do this math on your own any longer! The Smarter Restroom App sends the fleet managers alert notifications when waste and freshwater tank levels are 2⁄3 full or empty, causing the unit 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 restroom rentals 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 bathroom trailers at all times.
- Offsite Unit Management
The most tasking part of operating a portable bathroom trailer fleet is basic management. Making the trip back and forth to one or many units takes up valuable time, which can lower efficient customer service. The app addresses this issue as well.
Managers have capabilities to remotely control lights, air conditioning, heating, water heaters, and trailer power. This means managers can operate more restroom trailers off-site, expand their operations, and provide superior service.
Overall, the Smarter Restrooms App was developed to allow businesses who use or own restroom rentals to manage them more effectively. The app allows the management team to get more done in less time, makes fleet operations easier in general, and saves valuable employee time. Now, with the app, portable bathroom trailer renters and owners can ensure that restroom visitors have a top-notch experience with less manual labor.

Winterize Your Portable Bathroom Rentals
For those who experience extreme weather conditions, we know how hard it can get to maintain your restroom trailer. Maintenance issues are bound to arise: what if your water freezes? What if the hose gets clogged by ice? How do you keep your 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 restroom trailers stay functioning and keep 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 IN USE FOR THE 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
Follow these simple tips and your restroom trailers will maintain their quality for a long time coming!
