Emergency & Event Restroom Trailer Rental

Locally sourced. Nationally managed.

1,605 trailers delivered across 43 states through 248 local providers. Lower volume than portable units and a completely different urgency profile. Most of our highest-value emergency calls become trailer orders, and most of those need to be on site the same day.

Three questions before you order

Is there a level spot a truck can reach?

Trailers are towed in. They need level placement, clearance to manoeuvre, and a route not blocked by a gate, curb, or soft ground. Walk it first. This is the number one reason a delivery fails on arrival.

Is there water?

A hose bib within reach is the simple case. If not, the trailer runs on a fresh water tank with a waste holding tank pumped on a schedule, and that pumping cadence drives the cost more than the rental does.

Is there power?

Most configurations need a standard 3-prong outlet within range for lighting, the water pump, and climate control. Where there is none, a generator comes with the trailer and gets refuelled on a schedule.

Full detail in the site requirements guide.

The emergency use case

Roughly one in five of our highest-value inbound calls is a building that has lost water, and most of those become trailer orders. Real placements include a manufacturing plant on a main break, a distribution warehouse facing a shutoff with 250 people on site, a school with failed plumbing, a county courthouse, a restaurant, and a 500-unit residential building ahead of a scheduled county shutoff.

If you are in an outage now

Call (888) 588-2607. Same-day placement depends on which of our 248 trailer providers has inventory sitting within range of you today, which is a phone conversation rather than a form. Have the site address, occupancy, and whether you have water and power access.

Service frequency is the cost variable

The trailer rental is fairly stable. What moves the number is how often it gets serviced, and on a multi-week placement that gap is significant. On one 3-stall restaurant placement the difference between weekly and twice-weekly service was roughly a thousand dollars a month on the same unit.

Set frequency from concurrent users and how visible the space is, not from the calendar. A 3-stall serving a full restaurant is a different service problem from a 3-stall serving a six-person crew.

Send the site details

Address, whether you have water and a 3-prong outlet, concurrent users, how long you need it, and whether the space is public-facing. If the site cannot support a trailer we will say so and quote units instead rather than sending a truck that has to turn around.

Common questions

What does a restroom trailer need on site?

Three things: level placement a truck can reach, water, and power.

  • In most configurations that means a standard 3-prong outlet and a hose bib
  • Where neither exists, the trailer runs on a fresh water tank, a waste holding tank, and a generator
  • Confirm all three before ordering. This is the top reason a delivery fails on arrival

How fast can a restroom trailer be delivered?

Same day is realistic in most metro markets.

  • On a plant water main break we placed an 8-stall within one to two hours of the call
  • On a kitchen outage, four flushable units within two hours of payment, with a trailer as the upgrade path
  • Rural markets depend on which provider has inventory sitting

How many stalls do I need?

Stall count tracks concurrent users, not total headcount.

  • 2-stall: small job site or weekend event
  • 3-stall with ADA: restaurant during a plumbing outage
  • 4-stall: school, or a 28-day construction placement
  • 8-stall: plant water main break
  • Three 10-stall trailers: warehouse with 250 people on site

What is the difference between a trailer and portable units?

Trailers for visibility and duration. Units for speed and access.

  • Choose a trailer when the space is customer-facing, the outage runs more than a few days, or you need stall density in a small footprint
  • Choose units when speed is the only thing that matters, there is no level pad, or users are crews
  • Units the same day and a trailer once the timeline is known is a legitimate sequence

How is a trailer billed?

Weekly or on a 28-day cycle, with servicing included at a stated frequency.

  • Service frequency is the main cost variable, not the trailer
  • On one 3-stall placement, weekly versus twice-weekly service was roughly $1,000 a month on the same unit

Do you have ADA and shower trailers?

Yes, and ADA is frequently a requirement rather than an upgrade.

  • Required on most public-facing placements by permit or contract
  • Placed on residential buildings, park events, county facilities, and highway rest areas
  • Shower trailers are sourced for disaster response, remote camps, and long-duration industrial work
