What Makes a Unit Accessible
- A wider door. Wide enough for a wheelchair to pass through without the user folding in.
- Level or ramped entry. A step at the door makes everything else on this list irrelevant.
- Turning space inside. Room to turn and to transfer, which is what makes the unit usable alone.
- Grab rails. Beside and behind the pan, fixed to the structure rather than the panel.
- A higher pan. Set at transfer height instead of standard height.
- A basin within reach. Reachable while seated, not mounted at standing height.
Placing It Properly
- Firm, level ground. A ramped unit on a slope is not an accessible unit.
- A hard approach. Grass and gravel defeat a wheelchair before it reaches the door.
- Near the entrance. Not at the far end of the field with the rest of the bank.
- Lit. Inside and on the path to it.
- Signposted. Clearly, and marked on any event map.
- Kept clear. It is the unit most often used as overflow when the queue grows.
Where One Is Expected
- Public events. Any ticketed or open event should have at least one, whatever the expected demand.
- Construction sites. Where a worker needs one, and it belongs in the site plan rather than as an afterthought.
- Markets and sports grounds. Standing facilities where the public attends regularly.
- Weddings and private functions. Worth asking the guest list rather than assuming.
- Building works at a public building. Where the permanent accessible facility is out of service.

Get the Best QuoteWhat Affects the Price
- How long you need it. A day, a weekend and a month price very differently.
- Flushing or standard. As on any unit, and a flushing accessible unit costs more.
- The ground. Decking or a ramp to make the approach usable is a separate cost.
- Distance. Accessible units are larger and heavier to transport.
- Availability. Most fleets hold fewer of these, so late bookings cost more.
- Servicing. Same as a standard unit, and worth more frequent attention at an event.
What to Include in Your Request
- What it is for. An event, a site or a standing facility.
- The dates. And the hours if it is an event.
- The ground and the approach. Grass, paving, gravel or sand.
- Where it must stand. Near the entrance or near the rest of the facilities.
- Whether a specific user needs it. Which can change the unit the supplier sends.
- The address. Suburb and town, and the access for the delivery vehicle.
Before You Book an Accessible Unit
- Ask for the internal dimensions. Turning space is the specification that matters and the one least often quoted.
- Ask about the entry. Level, ramped, or a step that makes it accessible in name only.
- Check the approach, not just the unit. A perfect unit at the end of a grass path is unusable.
- Book early. Fleets hold few of these and they go first in season.
- Keep it for its purpose. Signposted and not used as the overflow cubicle.
- Ask about rails. Fixed to the frame rather than to a plastic panel.
Disabled Toilet Hire FAQs
What is the difference between an accessible unit and a standard one?
Size and entry, mainly. An accessible unit is roughly twice the floor area, has a wider door and a level or ramped threshold, grab rails and a higher pan. A standard cubicle cannot be made accessible by adding a rail, because the floor space is not there.
How many do I need at an event?
At least one at any public event, regardless of what you expect demand to be, and more as the event grows. The point of the first one is availability rather than capacity: a guest who needs it has no alternative unit to use.
Can it stand on grass?
The unit can, but the approach usually cannot. A wheelchair on soft grass or gravel does not reach the door. If the ground is not hard, ask for decking or a matting path and put it on the quote.
Is it suitable for someone with a carer?
Most accessible units have room for a carer to assist, which is part of why the floor area matters. If that is the requirement, say so when you request quotes, because unit sizes vary and some are tight.
Does a construction site need one?
Where a worker needs one, yes, and it belongs in the site sanitation plan rather than being arranged later. It also usually ends up being the unit visitors and inspectors use.
Are they available with a flush?
Yes, and for a standing facility it is worth it. A flushing accessible unit with a reachable basin is a far better facility, and the price difference is smaller than the difference in experience.
An accessible unit should be on every public event quote from the suppliers on Toilet Rental South Africa and is usually hired alongside the standard units.
