Honey wagon hire for the TV industry

26 March 2024

Being a location manager in the TV industry in the UK is rewarding yet challenging. But using a reputable honey wagon service will ease the strain. We explain how.

Life as a location manager is never dull! Liaising with directors and designers as well as heads of departments, a location manager not only sources an appropriate location but also negotiates all contracts required. And that’s before filming has even started. On location, they have to manage a multitude of things including parking, noise levels, catering provision, health and safety, toilet facilities – the list goes on. Then, when filming is over, it is the responsibility of the location manager to ensure the location is left in pristine condition before being handed back to the owner.

At Fortis Hire, our 20+ years of experience as suppliers of honey wagons equip us to ease the pressure on location managers by taking away one of their headaches – luxury toilet hire.

Honey wagon hire in the TV industry

To comply with the HSE’s guidelines, location managers must, where it is ‘reasonably practicable’, provide toilet and washing facilities and, in the case of location shoots, a place to change. A TV set on location must also be accessible and location managers need to be mindful of this too.

Types of honey wagon from Fortis Hire

Whether you need honey wagon hire for urban locations or honey wagon hire for cold weather filming, we have the toilet trailer for you. From the modestly sized Luxury 1+1 toilet which is the perfect addition to existing facilities, to our most popular unit, the Luxury 3+1 toilet, as well as the innovative and eco-friendly Fresh flush 5 bay toilet trailer, we have a toilet unit to suit your requirements. To support HSE compliance, we also supply a luxury disabled toilet and a luxury accessible bathroom trailer with toilet and shower.

Features of honey wagons from Fortis Hire

Our luxury toilets for hire make the perfect honey wagons. They offer performers and behind the scenes professionals the comfort and calibre of facilities that they deserve. Spacious vanity areas can accommodate costume changes where necessary and the well lit mirrors are a welcome feature, alongside the faux wood floor that gives each unit the feel of a permanent bathroom. All but the smallest unit have heaters and there is running hot and cold water in the ceramic basins.
