Aesthetics
If you have been looking at porta potties and luxury portable restroom trailers for sale, you’ve likely noticed some striking aesthetic differences. The concept of portable restrooms has been around for nearly eighty years. In fact, porta potties made their first appearances on naval bases during World War II and have since evolved into the recognizable plastic units that we’ve all experienced at one time or another. Now, however, there is a new kid on the block — an upscale option — a luxury portable flushing restroom.
Trailer or Standalone
Luxury portable restrooms can either be standalone, on their own single skid or grouped together on a portable restroom trailer. Either way, the units are easily transported from one location to another. Single units weigh between 600-800 lbs. If they aren’t already attached to a trailer, they can be lifted with a forklift and placed onto a trailer for transportation just like a standard porta potty.
Chemical vs. Flushable
One of the biggest differences between the breeds is that porta potties are “chemical toilets” and the luxury portable restrooms for sale are flushable toilets with running water. Modern chemical toilets collect waste in an open-air bin and utilize nitrate-based solutions that work biologically to deodorize the restroom. Luxury portable restrooms, however, feature toilets similar to ours at home with running water that whisks waste away into an isolated holding tank until it can be emptied by a sanitation truck. This ensures a fresh, sanitary, and pleasant user experience every time.
Electricity and Water
Additionally, luxury portables are wired with electric lights and plumbed with running water sinks. Most of the luxury portable restrooms for sale can be fully self-contained when necessary, running off of their own fresh water reservoirs and generators. Otherwise, they can be plugged into outlets and hoses for an endless supply of water and power. NuConcepts’ portable restroom trailers even come with solar power capabilities. High-end porta potties will sometimes feature a simple foot-powered pump sink, but they do not come standard-equipped with electrical amenities or running water in the way a portable restroom trailer does.
Capacity
In terms of capacity, portable restroom trailers are known to accommodate nearly twice the amount of traffic as a porta potty can before needing to be maintenanced. This is partially because luxury portables stay fresh longer with more sanitary amenities and partially because their holding tanks are larger as well. To give you an idea, a NuConcepts Diplomat Portable features a 90-gallon waste tank and a 55-gallon freshwater tank for an average of 170 uses before needing to be serviced by a waste management technician.
A League of Their Own
It is no surprise that guests, clients, employees, and attendees love luxury portable restroom trailers. Even business-owners themselves recognize their long-term value. These VIP portables are in a league of their own with flushing toilets, electricity, ventilation, air conditioning, heating, hot and cold running water sinks, carpet, mirrors, faux marble countertops and spacious interiors. They are truly a place that guests can go to freshen up or escape the elements in peace.
