Trailer Rentals: Diverse Applications
Beyond building each rental unit with imagination and care, COHSI uses highly durable, carefully selected materials to ensure peak longevity.

Trailer Rentals: In-Action Scenario
A real-world scenario demonstrates how rental trailers’ valuable versatility can solve, serve and deliver for a customer with a need.
As part of its annual summer events calendar, your city’s Parks & Recreation Department is planning for a large outdoor community festival celebrating regional artisans. More than 5,000 people are anticipated to attend.
However, the city has limited permanent restrooms for large numbers of people at once near the designated area. Installing a new permanent facility would bust the budget. Plus, the need for it would drop notably after the festival.
The event planners further expect attendees will include groups such as senior citizens, VIP guests and families with children, so clean, compliant and accessible restroom facilities will be essential.
The city contacts Comforts of Home to inquire about temporary portable restrooms. The representative explains they need portable bathrooms to satisfy the following conditions for deployment:
- Ten stations with ADA-compliant stalls in each unit
- Luxury finishes for VIP areas; standard units for general attendees
- Proper climate control for comfort even in heat or rain
- Connection to temporary water & waste hookups in a leveled, stabilized parking area
- Trailers delivered the day before the festival
- Clear signage for guiding attendees to the portable bathrooms
With our extensive database of trailer rental businesses, we can quickly source and refer an optimal provider to meet the city’s requirements.
