It's not a fridge. As long as it is all drained out I can't see why noy. Only why wouyld you want to lay it down? What does this have to do with RESTORATION?

I need to lay it down because it will not fit in the back of my truck standing up. Is there any portable that does not need to be drained in order to lay on its back without leaking? Do you normally drain it when trasporting your portable.

Well you will have to drain then. Why would you not drain it anyway.

Every one drains their portable if they are laying it down and most cleaners drain their portable before going to there next job.
This is done for two reasons:
It would be to heavy to lift back into their vehicle and dumping the dirty water into the toilet is legal appose to dumping it onto the street.
You may lay your portable down any way you wish but I suggest not to lay it down on the side of the switches.

Were are you from.....if your going for the size of the wheel....the bigger the better for getting up the stairs...my question to you is....when your lying down your portable and those big wheels are sticking up....will you be able to close the door or trunk? How much water it takes to clean a room depends on how big the room is. I hope with these questions your not pulling our chain...

If you lay your portable on its side with such big wheels at the customers house you will have a poormans pilelifter.
