- Should contractors and visitors share the same calculation?
- Count both, including any overlap, but describe their schedules separately. A shared total can hide a short peak or a period when cleaning cannot take the trailer out of service.
- What changes on a secured or federal site?
- Access. The delivery and every recurring service visit need gate clearance, so confirm credentials and approved hours for the pump truck and water refill as well as the delivery. The site’s own authority, not the city, usually controls placement there.
- How do I plan for desert summer heat?
- Treat cooling as continuous while the trailer is occupied, shade the pad where possible, keep the A/C condenser clear of dust, and size power for the exact unit’s climate equipment rather than estimating from the A/C rating. Schedule cleaning and refills more often in peak heat, when use and water demand rise.
- Which configuration fits a renovation in an occupied building?
- Count the people who will lose access to building restrooms at the busiest moment of the closure. Compartment count alone is not a capacity rating: compare the 2-Stall and 4-Stall against your expected peak use; the Wheelchair Accessible + 2-Stall adds a ramped accessible suite where the public or staff need one. Showers are usually unnecessary, so ask about a restroom-only unit if no one will shower.
- 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 Sacramento 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.
