Portable toilets have become part of our society and are often found at various events, construction sites, and leisure parks. You’ve probably heard the word standard so many times and also used it on a few occasions. For example, a standard car parking space is expected to be 2.4m X 4.8m. The standard number of calories for breakfast is 300-400, and lunch and dinner are 500-700. Standard things set the basis for comparison. This same logic applies to portable toilets.
The standard portable toilet dimensions
Standard portable toilets are quite popular and commonly found at most sites around the UK and the world. These mobile restrooms are about 12 square feet and have a 43.5″ x47″ dimension. They are generally built with a convenient layout and interior space of 11.7 square feet. You may have seen or used this at an event or while working on a construction site.
The general capacity of the Standard Portable toilet
Portable toilets are designed or built to handle a certain amount of usage before emptying and servicing according to the agreement between the client and the toilet hire company. On average, most standard portable toilets can be used 200 times when hired. A 4-hour event with approximately 100 people will amount to 200 uses. An average person is believed to use the toilet 6-7 times a day. That’s about every 4 hours, and an event may have users that visit the toilet every 2-3 hours, depending on their exposure to food or drink. This rough estimate helps us understand the volume of usage the standard portable toilet can handle.
