5 occasions to hire a portable shower unit

There is a wide variety of scenarios where portable shower rental can add value to a project and here, we look at our top 5!

Portable shower rental for refurbishments

Wherever corporate refurbishments are taking place that require regular facilities to be taken out of commission for the duration of the work, portable shower trailer rental can make the difference between having to close the business temporarily or continue to trade, without loss of revenue. For example, refitting a sports complex without closing will be possible if alternative facilities can be provided for stakeholders.  

Portable shower rental for schools and colleges

As school and college communities increase, the cost of providing permanent shower facilities can be prohibitive. Portable shower trailer hire enables you to maintain the correct ratio of showers: student. The DfE guidance states that showers should be available in sufficient number to meet the needs of the community, must be separate from toilets and must provide adequate privacy. Similarly when a school or college hosts a sporting event such as a tournament or competition where they will welcome students from other institutions, portable shower trailers will ensure that visitors also have facilities at their disposal.

Portable shower rental for construction sites

When project managing new builds, the provision of portable shower trailers for construction workers shows members of your workforce how valued they are by you. Being able to shower or wash before travelling home in, often, their own vehicles means very little clean up will be needed in the vehicle or when they arrive at home. It also allows workers to clean themselves of any materials that could irritate them if left in contact with skin, keeping them safe and free from harm.

Portable shower rental for overnight events

Historically, overnight events such as music festivals or sporting fixtures have not enjoyed a good reputation where the provision of personal hygiene facilities for attendees are concerned. Now, you can provide anyone coming to your event with a small taste of home with a portable shower unit. With many trailers featuring a changing area option, and with the temperature set at an ambient 38°C, visitors can freshen up, in comfort, mid-event.

Portable shower rental for the healthcare sector

No hospital wants to be operating at full capacity or to have seriously ill patients who require long term care. Unfortunately, the recent past has shown us that such healthcare settings can become overwhelmed easily. In instances like this, portable shower units provide extra personal hygiene facilities for patients or staff alike in a clean environment.
