Space160 wheelchair accessible portable toilet
People with disabilities must be able to obtain or enjoy the same goods, activities, services and benefits that are available to other members of the public. This also means access to sanitary facilities, such as portable toilets suitable for any Disability, such as at an event, outdoor party, or at the beach or the park.
The Space160 wheelchair accessible portable toilet, designed & made by T blustar in Italy, is the best choice as much for the operator renting the unit, as it is for the final-end user.
Besides its elegant and modern design, which integrates it discreetly into any environment, Space160 responds to all the requirements to be the first choice as Handicap portable unit.
It is a spacious, large-sized mobile toilet for family needs, for times when a parent needs to accompany their children into the restroom.
The large interior space allows a wheelchair or baby stroller to fully turn around or the accommodation of an extra person when needed, such as a caregiver or family member. With a ground level floor, 3 handrails and a large easy access door, there is no difficulty whatsoever in utilizing this special needs facility.
The toilet includes a fresh water flush and hand-wash, easily accessible and with hand-pump.
The door closes by itself thanks to strong hinges, which is helpful as the users do not have to go grab it to close it.
For the portable toilet operator, an important element is the ease of moving around and maneuver the Handicap unit, which are heavier and bigger than traditional portable loos. The Space160, while being robust with double walls, is still light weight considering it is a Disabled unit including hand-wash. To move the 110kg Disabled Toilet from one place to another were designed a 2-wheels accessory and a bunch of grab-handles on the outside of the unit. A single operator can easily move this restroom by himself.
The 2-wheels relocating foot tool accessory also include a special suitable lift-jack.
The outside handles are a recent improvement and are now an included feature for all future productions. 4 grab-handles are located on the bottom of each outside panel, and 3 high grab-handles are also included, on all walls except the front door.
For an even more complete VIP wheelchair accessible portable toilet, you can add the light accessory into the unit in no time.
The toilet rental business can chose Space160 for The Disabled in a large range of colors, and also can now include into the plastic the logo of their company (or phone number, website, email address). This is a great marketing tool and long-term investment to advertise your brand.
Whatever the event, it is necessary to provide in all situation an access to sanitary facilities for The Disabled.
The Space160 is an indicated choice in public places ( beaches, parks), on recreation sites, for any kind of outdoor events (sports events, festival, concerts…) and for family reunion (wedding, anniversary…) as the large space inside makes it easy for a family to use together.
The Space160 wheelchair accessible portable toilet complies with the European law regarding features & dimensions for Handicap access (for the USA see below for more information on ADA compliant portable toilets).

TIPS FOR OPERATORS REGARDING DISABLED PORTABLE TOILET
Handicap accessible portable toilets are getting more and more valuable for your business. By simply asking your clients if they need a Disabled unit with the regular toilets for their event, you will probably get to offer an additional service, meaning more work… which means more business.
For any kind of manifestation, it is advised to include 1 wheelchair accessible restroom for 10 regular portable toilets (or 5% of all units, never less than one).
When working on an event that requires portable toilets for The Disabled, PROs have to consider easy access to and from the Handicap portable toilet and/or hand-wash. It is important to choose an emplacement that will be accessible by evaluating the site first (no stairs, practicable route, no barriers, etc.).
Once the best place chosen, also think about proper accessibility symbols to show the availability of the service.
