An ADA accessible porta potty from Ankeny Porta Pros has a 60 inch turning circle, a 32 inch door opening, and grab bars set for wheelchair users. We stock these units for Ankeny job sites and events year round. ADA units run 200 to 400 dollars a day, higher than a standard porta potty rental, because of the added space and hardware.
It comes down to space and reach, not just a ramp bolted onto a regular unit. ADA Standards section 304.3.1 calls for a 60 inch diameter turning circle inside the stall, so a wheelchair can rotate without backing out the door. The door itself needs a minimum clear opening of 32 inches under ADA Standards section 404.2.3, wider than what you get on a standard porta potty rental. Reach ranges matter too: ADA Standards section 308.2.1 sets the unobstructed forward reach at 48 inches high and 15 inches low, which is why the paper holder, hand sanitizer, and grab bar all sit lower than you'd expect. Door hardware and toilet paper dispensers have to work with a closed fist under ADA Standards section 309.4, no pinching or twisting required. The route leading up to the unit matters as much as the unit itself. ADA Standards section 403.5.1 requires a 36 inch clear path, and section 302.1 requires that ground surface to be stable, firm, and slip resistant, which rules out setting a unit on loose gravel or soft turf without a mat underneath. If you're planning layout for a site or event in Ankeny, our porta potty placement guide walks through footing and clearance in more detail.
At least one, and the ratio grows from there. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires that where portable toilets are clustered, at least 5 percent of the units be accessible, with a minimum of one no matter how small the cluster. That's separate from the general OSHA 1926.51(c) headcount ratio, which sets 1 toilet for 20 workers or fewer on a construction crew, scaling up as crew size grows. So a 15 person Ankeny job site still needs at least one ADA unit even though the OSHA math alone wouldn't require a second toilet at all. Event planners run into the same rule at a different scale: a race or festival with 20 standard units on-site needs at least one accessible unit under that same 5 percent floor. If you're not sure how your numbers shake out, our guide on how many porta potties you need has the breakdown, and the fuller OSHA portable toilet requirements page covers the construction side. We deliver ADA units alongside standard ones for most Ankeny events, and can also pair one with a deluxe flushable porta potty order if your event budget allows for both.
Pricing depends on how long you need the unit and whether it's a standalone rental or part of a larger order.
| Unit | Duration | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ADA unit | day | $200 | $230 | $400 |
| ADA unit | week | $120 | $185 | $240 |
| Delivery fee | day | $100 | $150 | $500 |
A weekend rental on an ADA unit runs in the 199 to 300 dollar range, closer to the daily rate than the weekly one, since weekend pricing is built for short jobs, not long ones. Note that the weekly rate is actually lower per unit than a single day in some cases, which is common with ADA units because there are fewer of them in rotation and providers price the week to encourage longer bookings. Delivery is billed separately and depends on distance and site access. For a deeper cost breakdown across unit types, see porta potty rental cost or the day-rate-specific porta potty rental per day page. Renting for a full season instead of a single weekend event usually pencils out cheaper per day; check monthly porta potty rental pricing before you commit to repeated weekend deliveries.
Anywhere the public or a mixed-ability crew will use portable toilets, ADA units belong in the mix. That includes public-facing events like a wedding, a festival, a county fair, or a marathon, all of which draw attendees across a range of mobility needs. Construction sites in Ankeny fall under OSHA 1926.51(c) for headcount ratios, but a site with any worker who needs an accessible unit should have one regardless of crew size, and general contractors managing construction site services usually build that into their sanitation plan from day one. If your event or site needs a fuller restroom setup rather than a single stall, an ADA portable restroom trailer gives more room to maneuver and often includes a sink, which satisfies handwashing expectations better than a standalone unit. Placement in the public right of way in Ankeny needs confirming with the city before delivery; we don't guess at that with customers, we check first. For anything involving a road closure or sidewalk placement, loop in permitting early through our porta potty permit requirements guide.
Expect 200 to 400 dollars a day or 120 to 240 dollars a week for the unit itself, plus a delivery fee that's typically 100 to 150 dollars for a single day. Multi-day and event pricing varies with duration and site access, so a quote reflects your specific dates.
If you're clustering multiple portable toilets for public use, ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit, even for a small event. Construction crews should check both that rule and OSHA 1926.51(c) for total unit counts.
Not safely without prep. ADA Standards section 302.1 requires a stable, firm, slip-resistant surface, so loose gravel or soft ground usually needs a mat or plywood pad underneath before we set the unit.
An ADA porta potty is a single accessible stall built to the same footprint rules as a standard unit. An ADA restroom trailer offers more interior space, often a sink, and works better for larger events with sustained traffic.
Book as early as you can once your headcount and site plan are set. ADA units are a smaller share of most rental fleets, so availability tightens faster than it does for standard units, especially around peak event season.
