Jeff Moravec was the co-owner of a restroom rental service that during his ownership expanded from 200 units to almost 4,000 when they sold the business after 13 years. As the business grew, he recognized a need for improved efficiency with service trucks, and PortaLogix was born.
“The PortaLogix service truck is a midsize truck that accommodates waste, water and the ability to carry up to six units all in one truck,” says Moravec, now co-owner of PortaLogix. “Our slogan is ‘One truck that does it all.’”
The idea came from Moravec running dispatch for their company. “We always seemed to be short on drivers and short on trucks,” he says. “That’s when I came up with something as simple as putting the water in the flatbed so I could get the best of everything and do the job with less people and less fleet.”
When designing the PortaLogix service truck, they used their firsthand experience to make it functional, yet easy to work with. “We started with three prototypes in my rental fleet and worked out many of the bugs before we started to build them for sale,” Moravec says.
The result is a service truck that utilizes a transverse waste tank and freshwater tank that doubles as the truck bed. It can carry 800 gallons of wastewater, 350 gallons of freshwater while transporting four to six standard size restrooms. PortaLogix trucks feature dual-side service allowing operators to access water drop points on all four corners of the bed. Customers can also choose between two-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive option.
The truck is designed in a fashion that equipment can be permanently stored on the vehicle, making emergency requests quick and efficient to handle. PortaLogix service trucks can also be driven without a CDL.
PortaLogix uses feedback from customers to improve and grow as a business.
“We are always taking customer feedback to improve the design and function annually,” Moravec says. “Feedback has been tremendously positive and many of our customers have helped us build our business along the way with their experiences and suggestions.” 585-484-7009; www.portalogix.com
