Portalet vs Portapottie for construction jobsites whats the Difference
This is a question we get a lot from out customers. I can refer you to our glossary of event terms to help in the future.
When it comes to construction jobsites, the terms portalet and portapottie are often used interchangeably, but they generally refer to the same type of portable restroom. Both provide essential sanitation solutions on worksites, offering a convenient and hygienic option for crews in locations without permanent restroom facilities. The key is ensuring the units are durable, easy to maintain, and able to handle the heavy usage that’s common on construction sites.
At Pelican Events, when we talk about a portalet, we typically refer to our standard portable restrooms designed specifically for rugged environments like construction sites. These units are built to be tough, with reinforced structures and ventilation systems that help minimize odors. A portapottie is just another common name people use, but it generally means the same portable toilet unit used in outdoor and industrial settings.
For added convenience on larger or more active construction sites, Pelican Events also offers mobile construction site portalet trailers. These trailers come equipped with mounted portalets that can be easily moved around the jobsite as work progresses. This flexibility ensures that restroom facilities are always nearby, improving efficiency and accessibility for your crews. Mobile portalet trailers are ideal for sites where the work area shifts frequently or covers a large space, and they help maintain productivity by reducing the time workers spend accessing facilities.
No matter what you call it, Pelican Events provides high-quality portable restrooms suited for construction jobsites across Louisiana and Mississippi. We offer flexible rental terms, including daily, weekly, and monthly options, with regular servicing to keep the units clean and stocked.
