The Ultimate Guide to Portable Restrooms
Ask any crew what slows down productivity on a construction site, and somewhere between late lumber deliveries and surprise rainstorms, you’ll hear: “no clean bathroom.” Because when nature calls and the only option is a hike to a gas station or an overflowing porta-potty, nobody’s thrilled, and your project definitely feels the slowdown.
That’s where Throne Depot comes in. We’re here to talk construction site restroom rentals and how getting them right can keep your workers happy, your project on schedule, and your site a little less… fragrant.
The workhorse of most job sites is the classic construction portable unit: toilet, urinal, and hand sanitizer. It’s simple, sturdy, and exactly what your crew needs. These may be basic, but they still come equipped with premium features like a heavy-duty door, occupancy indicator, translucent roof for better lighting, and superior ventilation, which is especially important for summer project sites.
Construction isn’t just for the guys and your restroom plan shouldn’t be either. Many job sites with female workers and visitors opt for dedicated pink units. These restrooms are designed without a urinal and are often kept locked so the fellas don’t “accidentally” use them. It’s a small detail that goes a long way in respecting every member of your team.
Sure, the standard units get the job done but some job sites call for a bit more polish. Whether you’re managing a long-term project with a larger crew, hosting on-site stakeholders, or simply want to provide your team with some added comfort, restroom trailers are a nice upgrade.
These high-end trailers come equipped with flushing toilets, running water, mirrors, climate control, and even Bluetooth sound systems (because who doesn’t want a little background music while they take five?). They’re a game-changer for command centers, supervisors, engineers, or anyone who spends long days on-site and appreciates not having to rough it every time nature calls. And let’s be honest everyone appreciates a flushable toilet after a full day of hauling, hammering, and hustling.
Not every job site is created equal, and Throne Depot has the gear to prove it. Our specialty units, like the Crane Sling and Hitch & Go, are designed specifically for tough-to-access locations where standard units just won’t cut it.
The Crane Sling is ideal for high-rise and rooftop work. It can be safely lifted by crane and includes the same ventilation and comfort features as our ground-level units.
The Hitch & Go gives you full mobility. Just hook it up to your truck’s pintle hitch and take your Deluxe Portable Toilet with you as your crew moves. It’s a major win for road crews, bridge jobs, and mobile teams who need flexibility without sacrificing sanitation.
These rugged options are part of what sets Throne Depot apart from the competition. They’re built for challenging conditions and ready to roll when your site demands more than the basics.

It’s easy to treat portable restrooms as a “set it and forget it” kind of deal but that’s where job site trouble starts. Bad placement and poor planning don’t just lead to grunts and groans; they slow things down and can turn a productive crew into a cranky one.
First up: placement matters. Your restroom might be sparkling clean and stocked to the brim, but if it’s at the bottom of a gravel pile or on the other side of a freshly dug trench, guess what? No one’s using it. Our golden rule is simple: make sure the unit is within 35 feet of where the service truck can park with a clear, safe path. No mountains of rebar, no siding obstacle courses, and absolutely no open holes of doom.
Now let’s talk cleanliness. A fresh, serviced restroom is more than a courtesy; it’s a productivity tool. When units are full or filthy, workers disappear in search of alternatives (and not the time-efficient kind). If you’ve got more than 10 workers, that one lonely unit is going to fill up fast. Throne Depot drivers keep an eye on this, if we see you’re getting close to capacity before your next scheduled service, we’ll give you a heads-up. Need to bump service to twice a week? Add another unit? We’ve got you.
Let’s be real: a portable toilet is only as good as the people showing up to clean it. And while most rental companies focus on the unit, at Throne Depot, we know it’s 30% about the toilet and 70% about showing up for reliable, quality cleanings.
That’s why we’re proud to maintain a 99.6% weekly service completion rate. Rain, traffic, or surprise site changes—we get there. If you’re relying on a clean restroom to keep your crew comfortable and your project running smoothly, we won’t leave you hanging.
And in those rare cases where something goes sideways? That’s where SOCO comes in, Service Or Call Office. It’s our no-nonsense guarantee. If your unit can’t be serviced for ANY reason, our dedicated driver will remain on-site, ensuring seamless coordination with our office team who will promptly attempt to reach the designated site contact to address and resolve the issue efficiently. No ghosting. No excuses. No wondering what happened. Just the kind of service you’d expect from a company that wears the crown.
At The Throne Depot, construction sites are our bread and butter. We deliver durable, no-nonsense portable restrooms that keep up with the demands of your crew, whether it’s a small residential build or a multi-phase commercial project. From standard units to exclusive equipment like the Crane Sling and Hitch & Go, we’ve got the tools to meet your site’s needs, no matter how complex. Our team will help you figure out what you need, keep you stocked and serviced, and make sure your restrooms are where they should be—and working like they should.
