Award-Winning Salt Lake City Premium ADA Trailer Rentals – Same-Day Delivery

The ADA restroom trailers and the ADA shower trailer come with a self-contained ramp that lands on the ground beside the unit. Plan a firm, level patch about 5 feet square at the foot of the ramp so a guest can turn. Inside, the accessible room gives a 60 inch turning circle, grab bars at the china toilet and an ADA sink. The ramp has grab bars on both sides, and our crew locks and checks it at setup.

The trailer needs a firm, nearly level spot about 12 to 14 feet wide with the ramp out and 20 to 35 feet long, plus a clear path to the ramp and a way for the truck to get in and out. Asphalt, concrete, pavers, packed gravel or dry turf with mats all work. Hill streets in the Avenues and on the east bench are steep and narrow, so send a photo of the driveway and street. Our crew will tell you which spot works before delivery.

Public land and public agency events carry a duty to offer an accessible route and toilet, so an accessible restroom belongs in the plan. Many agencies ask for ADA units by name on the bid. We send a spec sheet and a floor plan whenever an agency asks, and help match the unit to the bid. For city events, start with Salt Lake City’s Accessible Events Checklist.

In a backyard or on a church lot, a rental usually needs no permit. Setting the trailer on a lot you own needs no filing, but a spot in a park or the street means the city’s event permit comes first, plus a traffic plan if it blocks the road. Each HOA and venue has its own say on where a trailer sits, how visible it is and how many days it can stay. We send a spec sheet and help with a placement sketch, and you file the permit or HOA request.

Our ADA units draw power from two standard 120 volt, 20 amp circuits, so no high-voltage hookup is needed. The circuits should be dedicated, not shared with a tent full of lights or a band. When no outlet is close, a generator setup is the answer. The AC is the biggest draw in July, so summer events should plan both circuits; we tell you exactly what the setup needs at booking.

Yes, because it is a different product with more included: delivery, leveling, hookup, stocking, service visits and pickup. Your quote moves with the unit size, number of days, service visits, distance and access, power plan and the date. Ask for a free quote and compare what each option includes.

Yes. For water, the ADA + 2 has a 210 gallon fresh tank and a 300 gallon waste tank, while the ADA + 6 pairs a 200 gallon fresh tank with a 475 gallon waste tank. A garden hose to a spigot is nice for long events, since it keeps the fresh tank full. In winter, when lows reach the mid 20s, we skip or insulate the site hose and run the trailer self-contained so nothing freezes.

Yes. A Salt Lake reception usually has the trailer set the day before and picked up the day after. Setup covers leveling, connecting power and water, stocking supplies and setting the thermostat. When an event runs more than one day, we schedule pumping and restocking visits so the trailer stays ready for every guest. For an outage, call the moment the water goes off and the team sends a unit as fast as possible.

For about 200 guests or a crew of about 30 workers, the ADA + 2 is the right size. Once a Salt Lake City guest list climbs toward 300 people, the ADA + 6 is the unit we send, since its seven rooms cover the larger crowd. Longer hours and an open bar push the need higher. Give us your guest count and how long people will stay, and we will pick the unit.

Cooling handles a 95 degree July afternoon and heat handles January, with a thermostat in every unit. Toilet paper, paper towels and hand soap come stocked, and our crew refills them on service visits.

Yes. The ADA + 2 Private Shower Trailer has two standard private shower rooms and one ADA shower room with an integrated ramp, sized for about 50 users. Where just one guest needs a full bathroom, the Combo is the better fit, since it puts a roll-in shower, seat, hand wand, toilet and sink behind a single ramp.

Most people rent an accessible restroom trailer once or twice in their life, usually for a wedding, a reunion or a building problem. They do not know what to ask, so they compare photos and stall counts. After years of placing units across the Salt Lake Valley, our team hears the same gaps come up after the fact. Asking these eight questions before you sign shows which rental companies really know accessible units.

First, which unit fits my head count and hours? A good company asks how many people, how long they stay and whether there is a bar before it names a trailer. One that quotes a unit before asking those three things is guessing at your size.

Second, which room is the accessible one, and does it have a built-in ramp? Ask for the floor plan. The accessible room on both trailers is a unisex room with a built-in ramp, grab bars, an ADA sink and a flushing china toilet. Ask about the ramp slope and whether it has grab bars on both sides. A company that cannot answer has not set one up lately.

Third, what does the quote include? A real quote lists delivery, leveling, hookup, stocking, service visits and pickup. Ask whether toilet paper, paper towels and soap are included and refilled. Ask how many pump and restock visits come with a multi-day job. Missing items show up later as add-ons, and that is the most common complaint we hear about rentals elsewhere.

Fourth, what gets checked before and during the rental? Every company says clean. A good answer is a list: grab bars, ramp latch, door, floor, soap, thermostat and tank levels. A vague answer is a warning sign.

Fifth, what does my site need? Ask for the footprint, the power need and the water plan in writing. Our ADA units list two standard 120 volt, 20 amp circuits and onboard fresh and waste tanks. A company that asks for a photo of your driveway or lawn is planning ahead. One that never asks about your ground is guessing, and a guess on an east bench slope can mean a ramp nobody can use.

Sixth, can you show proof of past work? For a wedding, ask for reviews with real names and photos of real jobs, not stock pictures. Seventh, what paperwork can you send for a public job?

Eighth, what happens if the trailer has a problem mid-event? Then ask the simplest question of all: who do I call, and do they pick up? Bring this list when you call The Lavatory, and the team will answer every one.

A ramp on the trailer is only half of an accessible restroom. The other half is the path that gets a guest to it. Before the delivery truck arrives, take ten minutes and walk the route the way a guest in a wheelchair or with a walker would. It catches most of the problems our crews find on site, and it costs nothing.

Begin where guests will sit: the ceremony chairs, the reception tables, the bleachers or the office door. Walk to the spot you picked for the trailer and count your steps. Shorter is better. Each extra yard counts for a guest in a manual chair or on crutches, so pick the firmest, most direct route.

Next, look down. Firm, flat ground at the foot of the ramp matters most. Loose gravel, deep grass, bark and flagstone with wide gaps stop small front wheels. On a lawn in the Avenues or on the east bench, the fix can be a run of plywood or rubber mats laid flat along the route. Many tent companies carry flooring and can add it to the same order.

Then check width and slope. Federal ADA guidance calls for a clear path about 48 inches wide and a cross slope no steeper than 2 percent. You do not need a level to spot trouble: if a water bottle rolls on its side, the slope is too much for a wheelchair to cross easily. Look for tent stakes, guy lines, cords and planters that pinch the path. The ADA National Network’s planning guide for temporary events covers these details well.

Most trips fail at a single edge. A curb, a step down to the lawn or a gap where the driveway meets the grass can stop a wheelchair cold. A change of more than a quarter inch is a problem for wheels. Find a curb cut or driveway apron, or plan a small threshold ramp for that one spot.

Evening receptions at a home or a church yard need lights along the route, not just at the trailer. July afternoons in the valley can top 95 degrees, so shade near the trailer door helps guests who cannot cool off easily. The rooms have AC; the walk to them does not.

The trailer ramp needs a firm, level landing with about 5 feet of turning room. Keep that landing out of a sprinkler zone, because a wet Salt Lake lawn turns soft fast in summer. Turn sprinklers off two days ahead, and mark any buried lines or sprinkler heads so the truck avoids them.

Finally, snap three photos: the spot, the path and the street. Send them with your quote request. The Lavatory crew reviews them before delivery and tells you if a different spot works better. That ten-minute walk is the easiest thing you can do to make the accessible room truly accessible.

ADA National Network: A Planning Guide for Making Temporary Events Accessible

The season of your event shapes what an accessible trailer needs, from AC in July to freeze planning in January. This is the yearly calendar our dispatch team watches in the valley.

April and May bring graduations, church gatherings and the first outdoor weddings. Late spring is when many receptions and family events move outside, and downtown events near Temple Square pick up through those months.

June brings Utah Pride around Washington Square and the start of youth soccer and lacrosse tournament season. July adds Days of ’47 and a long run of family reunions. Heat climbs, so AC matters more, and the ADA shower trailer gets busy at camps and multi-day events.

Warm-month Saturdays carry most outdoor receptions.

Fair week at the Fairpark, college football Saturdays and peak wedding dates often land on the same weekends. Downtown drops that month plan around game-day traffic and fair parking.

November through March is the quiet season for outdoor events, which makes it a good time for long-term rentals, remodels and planned building work. Winter jobs do need freeze planning for hoses and waste lines, and our crew covers that at booking.

Looking further out, the 2034 Winter Games and Paralympics come to Salt Lake City, with ceremonies at the University of Utah and wheelchair curling planned at the Salt Palace. Paralympic events bring more guests who need accessible rooms, so plans for those weeks should count accessible restrooms in the first site plan.

Salt Lake winters are cold enough to freeze a hose but mild enough that events keep going. In January the valley sees highs near 39 degrees and lows near 24. Holiday parties, ski-season gatherings, school remodels and building outages all happen in the cold months, and each one needs a trailer that stays usable for every guest.

Heat on a thermostat keeps the rooms warm and well above freezing on a cold valley night. A guest with limited mobility should never face a cold seat or a slick floor. Our crew sets the thermostat at setup and checks it on each service visit.

The parts that freeze are outside the trailer: the garden hose, the hose bib and the waste line. A hose left full on a 20 degree night can split, and a frozen waste line stops the whole unit. Our winter plan either skips the site hose or insulates it, and keeps waste lines drained between pump visits.

In deep cold, the simplest setup is fully self-contained. The onboard tanks cover a short event without touching a spigot. Longer jobs get scheduled refills and pumping, timed to the weather.

Snow on the ramp is the biggest winter risk for an accessible room. Plan to shovel and salt the ramp landing and the path, and keep a clear lane for the service truck so pumping and restocking stay on schedule. In the Avenues and on the east bench, icy hill streets can limit where a truck can turn, so pick a spot that is easy to reach after a storm.

Winter inversions can hold haze over the valley for days or weeks. They do not change how the trailer works, but cold, still air hangs low and the heater runs more. On a multi-week rental, plan for that steady draw.

Heat uses power. Our ADA units list two standard 120 volt, 20 amp circuits, and winter is when both earn their keep. If the site has no outlets close by, a generator setup covers it. Keep cords off the walking path and out of snow piles, and never run them through a door that guests use.

Tell us your dates, hours and whether the site has a heated spot near the hose bib. Our crew builds a winter plan that fits, so the accessible room is warm, dry and ready on the coldest day of the job.

Both can count toward the accessible units an event must have. They feel very different to the guest using them. This guide lays out the plain facts so you can pick what fits your guests, your site and your budget.

An accessible porta potty is one plastic stall with a wide door and room to turn inside. The federal ADA website explains the access basics behind both.

Many accessible portable stalls sit at ground level, which helps, but the floor can flex and the door often swings out into grass. The trailer’s ramp is built in, with grab bars on both sides, and our crew plans the landing during the site check.

July in the valley can reach 100 degrees, and a plastic stall in the sun gets much hotter inside. Trailer rooms have AC and heat. That matters most to older guests and anyone with a health condition that makes heat hard to handle.

Handwashing is another gap. A row of porta stalls needs separate hand wash stations, often at the end of the row. Each trailer room has its own sink with soap and water, so guests wash in private, and parents with small kids are not stuck in a line outside.

One accessible porta unit is one toilet. A single ADA + 6 gives seven rooms on one ramp, with one of them accessible, in the space of one trailer. At a reception or a tournament lot, that can replace a row of stalls, with fewer lines and less trash around the site.

A basic accessible stall is a fine pick for a short work visit or a spot no truck can reach. The Lavatory rents trailers, not porta potties, for the jobs where guests, staff or families need more. Many events mix both: standard stalls for the crowd and an ADA trailer near the tent for older guests and families with strollers.

A trailer rents for more because it includes more: delivery, leveling, stocking, service and pickup. Get a quote on both and compare what each includes. Call The Lavatory and the team will walk through the options with your guest count in hand.
