Every construction site needs portable toilets, but not every construction site is the same. That means portable toilets that work perfectly for one construction site might not be ideally suited for another. Fortunately, you’ve got options.
From heated toilets that stay warm in winter to easy-to-move portable toilets, FenceLine Rentals Ltd. offers a wide variety of options specifically designed to meet the unique challenges that arise on various construction sites and at outdoor events.
Let’s take a look at the different portable toilets you can rent or buy and how they can be helpful on different construction sites:
How to Choose the Right Portable Toilet For Your Construction Site
Construction sites can be hectic places with contractors coming and going, and the work happening from early morning until sundown. That makes portable toilets important.
The portable toilet that’s right for your job site will depend on several factors, and you need to consider what will work best for your specific site. Ask yourself:
- How often will the portable toilets need to be moved throughout the work?
- What will the weather be while work on the construction site is taking place?
- How much space is available on the construction site for the portable toilets?
- Are there men and women working on the construction site?
- Is construction taking place in a remote location, or is it in a busy urban area where security might be a concern?
- Is construction taking place on the ground or in elevated areas?
Once you’ve determined the needs and challenges of your construction site, you can review the available options and select the right number of portable toilets that best meets your requirements.
Types of Portable Toilets for Construction Sites
We offer eight different portable toilets for rent or purchase, each with its own unique set of features.
Standard Toilet
The standard toilet is what most people think of when they think of portable toilets. It features a lightweight frame that makes it easy to set up and remove from construction sites, with ventilation panels that keep the unit fresh and help prevent odours from lingering.
The standard toilet is versatile and can be placed around construction sites in a way that keeps it from disrupting work while still being easily accessible for workers. The standard toilet is ideal for:
- Construction sites with basic sanitation needs
- Construction sites for jobs that won’t take too long and where setup can be done quickly, and it’s easy to place portable toilets.
Heated Toilet
In Canada, construction is a year-round industry, which means that sites must operate even when temperatures drop in the winter. Nobody should freeze when using portable toilets, and the heated toilet comes with an insulated exterior that keeps the interior warm, even in frigid conditions outside.
The heated toilet has an R4 insulated cover and is built for the elements, with its durable construction making it perfect for.
- Remote construction sites in areas where the climate can be extreme
- Winter construction sites
Hardwall Toilet
The hardwall toilet is stronger, more solid, and features sturdy walls that are extra durable and provide added warmth.
They are designed to deliver comfort, regardless of what Mother Nature is doing outside, and the hard-wall construction with R-12 insulation is more comfortable than standard portable toilets. They also feature a more secure lock, providing an added layer of security. They are perfect for:
- Construction sites requiring enhanced security, like those in dense urban areas
- Busy construction sites that need more robust sanitation solutions
- Construction sites in particularly windy locations
Ladies’ Toilet
In many situations, it is prudent to offer women the option to use their own portable toilets. The Ladies’ Toilet provides women with a fully enclosed, portable toilet designed exclusively for them, offering enhanced comfort and security.
The portable toilet comes with a ‘Ladies’ sign to clearly indicate who is allowed to use it, as well as a lock and key that provide added privacy and security. The Ladies’ Toilet is best for:
- Construction sites where both men and women are working
- Public events of all kinds
Crane Unit Toilet
Building high-rises presents its own unique set of challenges, and providing portable toilets is certainly one of them. Workers don’t want to go all the way down to the ground every time they want to use a portable toilet, after all.
The crane unit toilet is the perfect portable toilet for construction sites with hard-to-reach or elevated locations and comes with a reinforced structure and crane hooks for safe lifting. It’s perfect for:
- High-rise construction sites or elevated projects
- Industrial construction sites where ground-level placement of portable toilets isn’t possible
- Large construction sites that require mobile units
Half Wall Roller Toilet
This compact toilet is designed for easy movement, making it ideal for construction sites where frequent relocation is required. It has partial privacy walls that allow for quick access and wheels that make it simple to move. It’s great for:
- Sites where frequent portable toilet relocation is likely, including roadwork jobs and landscaping projects
- Smaller construction sites where full-height units just aren’t practical
Deluxe Collapsible Roller Toilet
This is a full-size portable toilet that’s easy to move. It comes with wheels and collapsible walls, making relocation simple. Additionally, it features full walls for more privacy than the Half Wall Roller Toilet. It’s ideal for:
- Construction sites in remote locations where it’s helpful to have portable toilets that are easy to set up and transport
- Roadwork and landscaping projects where the portable toilets may be moved regularly but require more privacy.
Accessible Toilet
This larger portable toilet is specifically designed to be accessible for people with mobility challenges. The size of these portable toilets makes them easier to enter and exit than the standard toilet.
The accessible toilets are great portable toilets for construction sites in Canada, as they are durable and come with an R4 insulated cover that keeps them warm in colder climates.
