Why honey wagon hire is a location manager's best friend

1. Honey wagon hire is a professional service you can rely on

Location managers know that, on location, time is everything and delays cost. When you hire honey wagons from Fortis Hire, you get more than toilet trailers, you get our fully managed service. From delivery and setup to suit your schedule, to 24-hour on-call support, we handle everything with precision.

As experienced suppliers of honey wagons to the film and TV industry, Fortis Hire understands the pace and pressure of production environments, and we will ensure your luxury toilet hire runs smoothly without you needing to chase or troubleshoot.

2. Luxury honey wagons are discreet and camera-friendly

A major advantage of luxury portable toilets is their discreet design. Unlike standard portable loos, honey wagons are built to blend into high-end environments. At Fortis Hire, we offer luxury toilet trailers in a polished white finish and in the style of a traditional shepherd’s hut, depending on model. 

Whether you’re shooting a historical drama, an advert, or hosting VIP guests, our honey wagon units can be positioned discreetly, to keep your set visually clean and professional. With no unsightly standard plastic cubicles in sight, our units offer only sleek, neutral exteriors that won’t distract from your production.

3. Honey wagon trailers offer top-quality, high-end facilities

While plastic portable toilet units have a valid part to play on construction sites and at festivals, they simply don’t cut it for modern TV and film productions. Honey wagons offer premium interiors, including:

•    Flushing ceramic toilets and handbasins with running hot and cold water

•    Stylish, high end finishes

•    Spacious interiors and vanity areas with mirrors and lighting

Talent and senior crew will have a superior on-set experience and will appreciate the attention to detail and respect shown for everyone on location.

4. Honey wagons are market-leading luxury toilet trailers

At Fortis Hire, our entire fleet consists of luxury toilet trailers and shepherd’s hut toilets younger than three years old. This ensures we offer only modern, well-maintained units. Hiring newer trailers from Fortis Hire means customers can rely on:

•    Better reliability

•    Cleaner, fresher interiors

•    Improved energy efficiency

•    Enhanced aesthetics

Location managers no longer have to worry about breakdowns or complaints - two things that definitely don’t have a place on a tight schedule.

5. Bespoke, tailor-made packages for honey wagon hire 

At Fortis Hire, our honey wagon hire offers total flexibility; no two locations are the same, and your facilities shouldn’t be either. 

We will create a bespoke package for you based on your individual requirements and taking into account:

•    Crew size

•    Hire period

•    Production type

•    Site access and layout

Our honey wagon hire is completely scalable so whether you need a sole trailer for a small, single-day shoot, or multiple trailers for a large-scale production, we will tailor our service to meet your exact requirements. 

6. Luxury honey wagons offer comfort in all conditions

British weather is famously unpredictable, and cold weather impacts morale. Our luxury portable toilets are equipped with heaters, offering year-round warmth and comfort. 

This is especially valuable for early call times, night shoots, or winter productions where basic facilities would simply be inadequate.

7. Generator hire for remote locations

Remote shoots are increasingly common, and they bring their own set of challenges where mains connection is concerned. At Fortis Hire, we work with trusted contractors and can recommend professional generator hire companies if required.

This means your facilities can operate fully off-grid, delivering:

•    Lighting

•    Heating

•    Running water systems

Even in the most isolated locations, your team won’t have to compromise on comfort or hygiene.

8. Honey wagons don’t need a water supply 

One of the most practical advantages of luxury toilet hire from Fortis Hire is that our units are self-contained. With no need for a direct water connection, they are ideal for:

•    Rural locations

•    Temporary sites

•    Hard-to-access filming areas

This saves time and money as it makes planning simpler and reduces the need for additional infrastructure.

9. Hygiene and cleanliness you can trust

Our luxury honey wagons have been designed with hygiene in mind featuring easy-to-clean surfaces, efficient waste management systems, and handwashing facilities.

We also provide regular servicing during longer hires, ensuring facilities remain spotless throughout your production.

10. Luxury honey wagon hire enhances reputation

Finally, never underestimate the impression that quality facilities make. Providing luxury portable toilets reflects professionalism and care—two things that cast, crew, and clients will notice.

For location managers, it’s a simple way to elevate the overall experience and maintain a positive working environment.
