What it is

Three things worth knowing

Roll-in, not step-up

The floor sits flush with the ground and the door is a wide ribbed panel that swings clear, so there is no lip and no step to negotiate. Inside there is a five-foot turning circle — enough for a chair to enter, close the door and turn around.

Grab bars where they belong

Horizontal bars on the side and rear walls, positioned for a lateral transfer, plus a lever handle rather than a knob. The paper holder and the sanitiser sit at a height a seated user can reach without twisting.

Wider than it is deep

It is a broad square cube rather than a tall narrow box, which is what makes the turning circle possible. Allow about five feet of clear width for the unit plus the door swing when you are planning where it goes.

Why one is usually not optional

Any event in Clark County that is open to the public sits under the ADA's public-accommodation rules, and portable restrooms are part of what gets counted. The common planning figure is at least one accessible unit, and five percent of the total bank once you are past a small event. Festivals, race finish lines, park events, county fairs — all of them.

Job sites are covered too. If anyone on the crew needs an accessible unit, the site has to have one.

Where to put it so it actually works

An accessible unit set at the far end of a gravel field is accessible in name only. It needs a firm, level route to it — pavement, compacted decomposed granite, or a mat run — and it should sit at the end of a bank of standards rather than buried in the middle, so the door has room to swing and a chair has room to approach.

Tell us about the ground on the call. It changes where the driver sets it, and it is much easier to solve before the truck leaves than after.

Questions

About this unit

How many ADA units does an event need?

At least one, always, if the event is open to the public. Past that the figure planners use is five percent of the total restroom count, rounded up. Twenty units on a festival ground means one accessible unit as a floor and two is the safer read. If your event is ticketed and private the legal picture is different, but the practical answer usually is not.

Is the ADA unit bigger than a standard?

Wider, not taller. It is a broad square cabin instead of the narrow upright a standard is, because the whole point is a turning circle inside. Budget about five feet of clear width for the unit and its door swing. It weighs more, so the truck needs a reasonable approach — worth mentioning if the spot is up a slope.

Does it flush?

The standard accessible unit is a non-flush cabin, same tank principle as a regular standard. If you need a flush and accessibility together, the honest answer is a restroom trailer with an ADA-compliant stall and a ramp, which is a different product and a different price. We will walk you through both on the call.

Does the accessible unit work on desert gravel or turf?

It can sit there, but sitting there and being usable are different things. A wheelchair needs a firm route to the door, so on turf or loose gravel we would want a mat run or a placement at the edge of pavement. Tell us the surface when you book and we will work out the placement with you.

Do I need one on a construction site?

If a worker on that site needs an accessible unit, yes. Beyond that specific case, general-industry sanitation rules govern how many units of any kind a crew needs rather than mandating an accessible one. Plenty of contractors add one anyway on sites with visiting inspectors or client walkthroughs.
