About RT Trailer Fabrication

Rolling Thrones

In the heart of Bay County, Tom Fick embarked on a venture that would change the way people experience comfort and convenience at events. His startup business, Rolling Thrones, offers clean, climate-controlled and mobile restrooms for any occasion, elevating the standard of portable restroom services in the world of party equipment rentals.  

Every successful venture owes much of its success to the strength of its partnerships. For Rolling Thrones, the backbone of their business was the dynamic duo of the founder and his partner, Bruce Falcon. Bruce's expertise and unwavering support complement Tom's vision, propelling the startup to new heights. 

Beyond their partnership, the team found a wellspring of support from fellow small businesses. Michigan Mobile RV Repair & Bay Valley Electric played crucial roles in contributing expertise & guidance on the build of their first unit.  In the early days of the startup, the team encountered its first major hurdle: plumbing. Although it seemed like a straightforward aspect of their business, they quickly learned that there was much more to it than meets the eye. Finding the right balance in toilet placement, sinks, and urinals required a great deal of thought and creativity. With no template to guide them, they embarked on the arduous task of dry fitting and meticulously planning each aspect before committing to gluing the components together. With unwavering determination and countless trials, they eventually mastered the art of plumbing, setting the foundation for the exceptional restroom trailers they offer today.

Rolling Thrones is only at the beginning of their journey in providing top-notch portable restroom trailers, the founder's ambitions extended far beyond their initial offerings. They envisioned a future where Rolling Thrones will build and sell trailers nationwide, catering to a wide variety of industries.Their goal is to establish a manufacturing facility in Bay County, providing employment opportunities to local residents and contributing to the community's economic growth.

With dreams of expanding their business nationwide, they are excited about the possibilities that lay ahead. With general support of his SBDC Business Consultant, Tom just completed the build of his second unit, prepping for a industry specific community trailer and planning for next steps for expansion into manufacturing.

The story of Rolling Thrones exemplifies the power of determination, partnership, and community support in transforming a simple startup business into a thriving enterprise. From conquering the build of their first unit to dreaming of a nationwide venture, the team's journey has been filled with ups and downs. As they continue to provide comfort and convenience through their portable restroom trailers, they remain committed to their vision of growth, development, and making a lasting impact on the Great Lakes Bay Region and beyond.
