- Should a shift-based site choose the largest model?
- Start with simultaneous users and the restrooms already available. Extra compartments can help with queues, but the larger unit still needs a suitable pad and reliable servicing. Ask for a recommendation using the shift overlap, not just total headcount.
- How should a shutdown or multi-shift site size the trailer?
- Count users in the busiest shift-change window, including contractors. More compartments clear that peak; showers make sense for long or dirty shifts. Confirm that the pump truck and potable refill can reach the pad on a schedule that does not collide with equipment moves.
- What do summer heat and the occasional freeze mean for the trailer?
- Summer drives the selection: continuous A/C while occupied, a pad that drains, and power sized for the exact unit. For the few freezing nights, plan to drain an idle unit or follow the documented cold-weather guidance for that unit. Cabin heating warms the room; it does not protect tanks, pumps or water lines from freezing.
- What should a hurricane plan for the trailer cover?
- Who decides to move, secure or drain and close the trailer when a storm is forecast, where it goes, and how it is reconnected afterwards. An owned trailer is part of your own storm plan; arrange the tow vehicle or securing method before the season, not during a watch.
- How do I measure the space the trailer needs?
- Measure the deployed footprint, not just the trailer body: the body and towbar, the steps and landings at every door, the ramp and its landing for the wheelchair-accessible configuration (the provided ramp is about 16 ft at a 1:12 slope), clearance for doors to open, and a lane for the pump truck to reach the service connections. Confirm exact dimensions for the unit you choose on the quote.
- What if the site has no suitable outlet or water connection?
- Each unit needs a standard grounded three-prong plug on a dedicated 20-amp circuit; where none exists, a generator works. A quiet inverter generator providing at least 4,000 running watts and 5,000 starting watts is our recommended baseline for the 2-stall, 4-stall and 2-stall plus wheelchair-accessible configurations. Water comes from the onboard tank filled from a potable source or from a potable hose. Arrange potable refills and waste pumping with a local provider before delivery; All Pro does not operate a service network outside Southwest Florida.
- Who confirms placement requirements for a Mobile parcel?
- The office that controls the parcel, which is not always the one on the mailing address. Vehicle title and registration offices do not approve where a trailer sits. Start with the placement authority described on this page and the property owner or operator, and ask about trailer placement, generator use, the accessible route and waste servicing for your actual site and duration.
- Can I rent instead of buying?
- Not here. Our rental fleet serves Southwest Florida only; elsewhere All Pro sells trailers with delivery quoted by ZIP.
