Is this a porta-potty?
No. Porcelain flush toilets, running water, hot water at the sink, heat and light, in two private rooms inside an insulated aluminum trailer.
Does it work in winter?
Yes, with power to the heaters. Rated by its builder to about -25 C with 240V 30A power to the heaters. Working somewhere colder? Call us and we will talk through your site.
How much does it cost?
Quoted per job. Your quote depends on how long you need it, how far the site is, and how often it needs a pump-out and water.
Where do you deliver?
Anywhere in Alberta. We are based in Calgary and quote delivery by distance.
What power does it need?
240V 30A to run the winter heaters, from site power or a generator. In mild weather it runs on two standard 120V 15A plugs.
What about water?
Hook it to site water with a hose, or we fill the 160 US gallon tank. No water on site is fine. It goes in your quote.
How often does it need a pump-out?
The waste tank holds 260 US gallons, roughly 400 to 500 uses. We set the schedule with you based on your crew.
How long can I rent it?
A few days, a few weeks, or the whole job. Long jobs of 3 to 6 months or more are what it is built for.
How many toilets does my crew need in Alberta?
Alberta OHS Code Schedule 7 sets the minimum per sex: 1 toilet for 1 to 10 workers, 2 for 11 to 25, 3 for 26 to 50, 4 for 51 to 75, 5 for 76 to 100, and 6 plus 1 for every 30 more over 100. Our job site toilet guide has the full table and source.
How many workers does one trailer cover?
It has two toilets in separate rooms. Set up as one men's and one women's room, it covers up to 10 men and 10 women under Schedule 7. Used by one group, its two toilets cover 11 to 25 workers. Each room has its own sink, soap and paper towel.
Is a washroom trailer better than porta-potties for a crew?
For longer jobs and winter work, crews get flush toilets, hot water to wash up, heat and light, in a room that stays clean. Porta-potties are cheaper per unit but freeze, have no running water and are hard to keep clean.
