High-Rise Porta Potty Rental
Compact, elevator-fit portable toilets designed specifically for multi-story construction projects. At 33 inches wide and 120 lbs, these units fit freight elevators and roll across floors on built-in caster wheels.
What Is a High-Rise Porta Potty?
A high-rise porta potty is a compact, lightweight portable toilet specifically engineered for multi-story construction projects where standard-size units cannot be transported to upper floors. Measuring just 33 inches wide by 38 inches deep by 75 inches tall, these units are designed to fit through standard freight elevator doors and ride inside elevator cabs. At only 120 pounds, they are significantly lighter than standard porta potties, making them practical to move between floors as construction progresses upward.
The key innovation is the built-in caster wheels on the base, which allow the unit to be rolled across concrete floors from the elevator to the work area. Once positioned, the wheels lock in place to prevent movement during use. This means workers do not need to ride the elevator down to the ground level every time they need a restroom, saving significant time on large high-rise projects where going to ground level and back might take 15-20 minutes.
High-rise units maintain the same core functionality as standard porta potties: a sealed waste holding tank with chemical deodorizer, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, ventilation, and a self-closing door with an occupied indicator. The reduced dimensions mean the interior is smaller than a standard unit, but it provides adequate space for comfortable use. For buildings with tower cranes, units can also be crane-lifted directly to upper floors, bypassing the elevator entirely.
Multi-Story Construction Logistics
Planning portable sanitation for high-rise construction requires special consideration:
- OSHA proximity rule: Toilets must be within 200 feet of all work areas. On upper floors, this means units on each occupied floor.
- Per-floor count: 1 unit per 10 workers (ANSI recommended) on each occupied floor.
- Elevator coordination: Schedule deliveries and service during off-peak elevator times to avoid conflict with material transport.
- Crane option: For projects with tower cranes, units can be lifted directly, avoiding elevator congestion.
- Service access: Ensure freight elevator availability on scheduled weekly service days for pump-out equipment.

Common questions about portable toilets for multi-story construction
High-rise porta potty rentals start at $399 per month with weekly cleaning included. The higher price compared to standard units ($199/mo) reflects the specialized compact design, lighter weight construction, built-in wheels, and the logistics complexity of servicing units on upper floors. Volume pricing is available for projects needing multiple units across many floors. All pricing includes delivery, weekly service, and pickup with no hidden fees.
Yes. High-rise units are specifically designed to fit in standard freight elevators. At 33 inches wide by 38 inches deep by 75 inches tall, they fit through elevator doors that are at least 36 inches wide (standard freight elevator doors are typically 42-48 inches) and into cabs with at least 40 inches of depth. Before ordering, we recommend measuring your specific freight elevator dimensions -- door width, cab width, cab depth, and cab height -- and providing them to our team to confirm compatibility.
High-rise units measure 33 inches wide by 38 inches deep by 75 inches tall externally. That is approximately 2 feet 9 inches by 3 feet 2 inches by 6 feet 3 inches. The reduced height of 75 inches (compared to 90 inches for standard units) is designed to clear freight elevator cab heights, which are typically 84-96 inches. The interior is smaller than a standard porta potty but provides adequate space for comfortable use.
Yes. All high-rise units include four reinforced lift points designed for crane operations. If your project has a tower crane or mobile crane available, units can be lifted directly to upper floors, completely bypassing the freight elevator. This is often the preferred method on active high-rise construction sites where the freight elevator is heavily used for material transport. Coordinate the crane lift with your site superintendent and our dispatch team for scheduling.
Follow standard OSHA guidelines: a minimum of 1 unit per 20 workers on each occupied floor, with 1 per 10 workers recommended (ANSI standard). OSHA also requires that facilities be within 200 feet of all work areas, which on a high-rise means placing units on every occupied floor rather than expecting workers to travel between floors. For a typical high-rise floor with 15-25 workers, 1-2 units per floor is the standard configuration. Contact us with your worker count per floor and we will provide an exact recommendation.
Our service technicians bring portable pumping equipment up via the freight elevator to each floor. The waste is pumped from the holding tank into sealed portable containers (typically 30-50 gallon capacity), which are transported back down to the service truck via the elevator and disposed of at an approved waste treatment facility. Fresh supplies -- toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and deodorizer chemicals -- are brought up during the same visit. The entire process takes approximately 15-20 minutes per unit per floor. Weekly service is included in the rental rate.
Yes. All high-rise units feature four built-in caster wheels at the base. Two wheels are fixed for directional stability and two swivel for maneuverability. All four wheels have locking mechanisms that engage when the unit is in its use position, preventing any movement during use. The wheels make it easy for two workers to roll the unit from the elevator to the desired location on each floor, and to reposition units as construction progresses. Wheels are rated for concrete and plywood subfloor surfaces commonly found on active construction sites.
