The portable restroom and shower market is not new, but the new year always sparks advances in features and services. With so many fresh and fun innovations to share, let’s see what’s shaking in the portable restroom and shower game.
New: Increased Demand For Portable Shower Trailers
Four years ago, the whole world shared one life-altering experience. While it was not pleasant, it certainly made an impact on how we function today, years down the road.
One of the most significant changes is a greater focus on hygiene, including showering.
The increased focus on whole-body hygiene has increased demand for portable shower trailers across various markets. For example, the medical, festival and entertainment, campsite management, disaster relief, and humanitarian aid industries all need these facilities to get clean.
Healthcare workers can sanitize and protect public health, those experiencing homelessness and underprivileged communities can find relief, and getting dirty at work doesn’t mean that you have to, quite literally, bring work home with you. Shower trailers benefit lots of industries and people from all walks of life.
Trailers offering features like hot water, private cubicles, larger capacities, or ADA compliance means the experience with these trailers is also positive.
Demand is increasing worldwide, and the benefit to those who need and deserve it most is palpable.
Noteworthy: Focusing Beyond Function And Prioritizing Luxury
There is no doubt you’ve seen it before: You’re at an event, and a mismatched row of green, blue, or gray plastic porta-potties ruins the vibe. With everyone needing to go to the bathroom, you would think that better alternatives to these gross, smelly, too-hot, or too-cold eyesores would be more common.
Thankfully, they are getting to be.
Luxury restroom rentals are seeing an increase in demand as more and more people, events, and industries emphasize more than just function. Weddings, festivals, wineries, company gatherings, galas, you name it. Plenty of classy and upscale situations demand more than just a place to use the restroom. With such care for detail, event planners are looking to the mobile restroom trailer industry for help creating cohesive client experiences.
You can now find trailers that match a wide range of themes and aesthetics, with tons of unique features, sizes, and options, all because of this new demand:
- Are you searching for the perfect lighting to touch up your makeup? Well-lit vanity mirrors can ensure that you’re looking your best.
- Are you at an event without cell service and realizing you forgot to email your boss? No sweat; there are trailers with Wi-Fi capabilities.
- Want to escape the noise and spill some serious gossip? Large trailers that fit 10 or 12 people, with privacy dividers, are the perfect place to get the drama flowing.
- Are you at a hot summer event and need a minute to cool off? Air conditioning is available.
- Chilly winter event and need some warmth? There’s heating.
Some features are practical but tailored to a more upscale audience and are not required but certainly appreciated, while some are simply for aesthetics. A faux fireplace and marble-effect counters are unnecessary, but they certainly enhance the experience and leave attendees walking out saying, “Oh my goodness, did you see that bathroom?”
That’s what the growth in this part of the luxury portable trailers is all about, leaving people in shock over how amazing the experience in an impermanent toilet can be. Aesthetics are trending, so aesthetic toilet trailers are too.
New AND Noteworthy: Convenient And Sustainable Technologies
The increase in environmentally conscious decision-making has undeniably impacted markets and industries across the board. The portable toilet and shower trailer industry is no exception.
That’s precisely why solar-powered trailers are getting attention. They provide essential services without needing a connection to traditional power sources like coal, fossil fuels, and natural gas, which are unsustainable. The solar trend can’t leave portable hygiene services behind.
Moreover, certified green restroom trailers prioritize the environment in all aspects to ensure that waste management doesn’t harm the environment. The industry as a whole is seeing an increase in the phasing out of formaldehyde use in favor of bio-alternatives like microbe decomposition of fecal matter and water-conserving flush and sink systems.
Regarding convenient technologies, restroom management apps are making the management of toilet and shower trailers more effortless than ever. They can track activity in trailers, locations, and tank levels to ensure fleets run smoothly and securely. This protects investments and prevents tank overflow, which can cause pollution and health concerns. Now, you don’t have to keep track of your trailers’ health, safety, and security, in addition to the million other things you need to stay on top of for your business. Oh, the ease of smartphones.
The portable toilet and shower industry is on the rise, serving both function- and fashion-focused clients simultaneously. With serving both ends of the spectrum at once, there is lots of excitement about what new innovations audiences can look forward to, but for now, service, sustainability, and style reign supreme.
