Choosing the Right Size Restroom Trailer to Start Your Restroom Trailer Rental Business
Starting a restroom trailer rental company is an exciting venture with ample opportunities to serve diverse markets. One of the key decisions you’ll need to make is selecting the right size restroom trailer to accommodate your target market when starting your business. In this article, we'll explore different target markets for restroom trailer rental companies and how various trailer sizes can meet their unique needs.
Understanding Your Target Market
Identifying your target market(s) is the first step in determining the appropriate restroom trailer size to start your business. Different events and industries have distinct requirements, and catering to these needs ensures you provide them with optimal service. Here are some common target markets for new rental companies:
- Weddings and Private Events
- Corporate Events and Conferences
- Construction Sites
- Festivals and Concerts
- Emergency and Disaster Relief
Weddings and Private Events
Common Needs:
Aesthetic Appeal: Elegantly designed interiors with high-end finishes.
Capacity: Small to medium groups, typically ranging from 50 to 250 guests.
Recommended Trailer Size:
For weddings and private events, a 2-4 station restroom trailer is often ideal. These units offer a blend of luxury and functionality. They are easy to transport and set up, making them perfect for venues with limited space.
Our 3 or 4 Station ECO Series restroom trailers are recommended for this target market to provide a more affordable restroom trailer option for first-time restroom trailer buyers and seasoned veterans alike. Even though this trailer comes at a lower price it is made with the same quality materials and craftsmanship as our PRO Series trailers. The ECO series clean yet simple design allows it to be dressed up or down so that it can be used in applications from weddings to construction jobs.
The setup of the Lang ECO Series trailers is fast and simple. Simply back the trailer into place, level it, lower the stabilizing jacks, fold out the handrails, lower the fold-out one-piece stairs, connect the trailer to a power source, and you are ready to go.
Corporate Events and Conferences
Common Needs:
Professional Appearance: Clean, modern design to match the event's professional tone.
High Volume: Capacity for larger crowds, sometimes several hundred attendees.
Recommended Trailer Size:
Corporate events typically require 4-6 station restroom trailers. These units provide ample facilities to accommodate high traffic during breaks and intermissions. Features like climate control and high-quality fixtures are essential to meet the expectations of corporate clients.
Our Pro Series 5 Station Restroom Trailer is by far our most popular restroom trailer. It is compact in size while still offering 5 stations, making it small enough to fit into small event spaces but it still can handle larger crowds. We recommend using this size trailer for events with 300 people or less.
Construction and Long-Term Work Sites
Common Needs:
Durability: Robust design to withstand harsh conditions.
Functionality: Basic yet reliable facilities for a large workforce.
Recommended Trailer Size:
For construction sites, 6-9 station restroom trailers are often necessary. These trailers offer multiple stalls and sinks to handle a large number of workers efficiently. Durability and ease of cleaning are critical factors, ensuring the units can withstand daily use over extended periods.
Our Pro Series 9 Station Restroom Trailer is a well-rounded larger-size restroom trailer that is well-equipped to handle everything from long-term work site rentals or large events. We recommend this trailer for events with 400 people or less.
Festivals and Concerts
Common Needs:
High Capacity: Ability to serve hundreds to thousands of attendees.
Quick Turnover: Facilities that can be cleaned and restocked rapidly.
Recommended Trailer Size:
Large events like festivals and concerts can require 10-12 station restroom trailers. These trailers are designed to handle continuous, high-volume usage. Multiple units may be necessary to cover expansive event grounds or a high number of attendees.
Our Pro Series 12 Station Restroom Trailer is a well-rounded restroom trailer that is well-equipped to handle large special events, long-term construction rentals, or disaster relief work. We recommend this restroom trailer for events with 600 guests or less.
Emergency and Disaster Relief
Common Needs:
Mobility: Quick deployment to various locations.
Versatility: Adaptability to different scenarios, landscapes, and group sizes. Showers in addition to restrooms may also be needed to meet all hygiene and sanitation needs.
Recommended Trailer Size:
In emergency and disaster relief situations, 4-12 station restroom shower combo trailers strike a balance between capacity and mobility. These units can be rapidly deployed to disaster sites, providing essential sanitation facilities for displaced populations and relief workers.
Our Pro Series 4 Station Shower Restroom Combo Trailer is a great option when space and budget are limited to one trailer. This larger combination trailer is ideal for campgrounds, job sites, and disaster relief. This trailer is equipped with a 750-gallon waste tank, a 10-gallon per minute On-Demand propane water heater, a 100 lb. propane tank, and can handle larger groups.
Additional Considerations
While the target market heavily influences trailer size you should start with, other factors should also be considered:
Event Duration and Size: Longer events with high attendance may require larger units or additional servicing.
Venue Layout: Accessibility and space constraints at target venues.
Budget: Larger trailers come with higher costs for purchase, maintenance, and transportation.
Conclusion
Choosing the right size restroom trailer for your target market is crucial for the success of your rental business. Understanding the specific needs of different markets—weddings, corporate events, construction sites, festivals, emergency relief, etc. —helps you make informed decisions that enhance customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
By evaluating your target market and considering the factors outlined in this article, you can select the ideal restroom trailer size to start your business that will meet your clients' needs and position your business for growth and success.
