When it comes to providing facilities for all, accessibility is non-negotiable. That’s why our wheelchair accessible portable toilet units are purpose-built to meet AS1428 compliance standards – the gold standard for accessibility in Australia.
Whether you’re planning a public event, managing a construction site, or organising a festival, inclusive amenities show respect for every individual. Here’s how Australian Portable Toilets units go beyond the basics to meet AS1428 requirements and ensure everyone has access to clean, safe, and functional toilet facilities.
What Does AS1428 Compliance Mean?
AS1428 is the Australian Standard for Design for Access and Mobility. It ensures that buildings and facilities, including portable toilets are usable and accessible to people with disabilities, as well as those using mobility aids like wheelchairs or walkers.
To comply with AS1428, a wheelchair accessible portable toilet must offer:
- Adequate manoeuvring space
- Support rails in correct positions
- Easy entry and exit
- Fixtures installed at accessible heights
- Clear signage and visibility
These standards are not just guidelines they’re essential for safety, dignity, and independence.
Key Features of Our AS1428-Compliant Units
We’ve designed our all-accessible portable toilet with careful attention to AS1428 specifications:
Automatic Door with Locking Feature
Each unit includes a ramp, 930mm door entry, and an automatic door, allowing smooth access for wheelchairs. The door is also fitted with a lock that’s easy to operate from inside.
Generous Internal Space
Our units provide over 2300mm x 1900mm of clear floor space to allow 360° wheelchair rotation, as well as space for a carer if needed.
Strategically Placed Grab Rails
Heavy-duty, stainless-steel grab rails are installed at precise heights and angles to assist users in transferring safely to and from the toilet.
Compliant Fixtures
From low automatic hands-free flushing controls and automatic basin sink tap to sanitary and waste bins, low soap and paper towel dispensers, all fixtures comply with AS1428 height and reach requirements.
Non-Slip Flooring
The flooring is non-slip with self-draining features making it safe even in wet weather which is critical for preventing accidents.
