Standard Portable Restrooms
The most common size for a portable restroom is the standard unit. These typically measure around 44 inches wide by 48 inches deep by 88 inches high. Designed to accommodate a single person at a time, they are equipped with a toilet and, in some cases, a urinal. This size is ideal for general gatherings such as festivals or construction sites where basic sanitation needs are required.
Wheelchair Accessible Units
To comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), wheelchair accessible portable restrooms are larger, generally measuring 62 inches wide by 62 inches deep. They feature more spacious interiors to accommodate users who require additional space for maneuverability. These units include safety bars and are designed without a raised entry lip to ensure easy access.
Enhanced-Access Units
Slightly larger than the standard models, enhanced-access portable restrooms provide features like more interior space and handrails to assist those who may not be wheelchair-bound but still need extra support. These units typically measure about 62 inches wide by 62 inches deep, similar in size to ADA-compliant models but may offer different internal amenities.
Luxury Portable Restrooms
For events requiring facilities that are a notch above standard units, luxury portable restrooms are available. These can vary significantly in size and often come in trailer formats ranging from single stalls to multi-stall options that resemble high-end bathrooms complete with flushing toilets, sinks, mirrors, lighting, and sometimes even climate control.
Portable Restroom Trailers
Portable restroom trailers offer multiple stalls and can range widely in size depending on the number of fixtures included. A typical setup might include separate sections for men's and women's facilities each furnished similarly to permanent installations with multiple stalls on each side. Sizes can span from small trailers accommodating just two people at once up to large setups designed for hundreds of uses per day.
Customizable Options
In addition to these common types, some suppliers offer customizable portable restroom solutions tailored to specific event sizes or user needs. Depending on the provider, dimensions can be adjusted or additional features added such as changing rooms or shower stalls making them an adaptable choice for diverse application scenarios.
