Site toilets are the perfect example of a rental habit nobody re examines. Every job needs one, WHS regulations require accessible facilities including toilets, hand washing and drinking water, and so every job rents one, forever, at a weekly rate that never stops. For crews with continuous work, the ownership arithmetic deserves the same five minutes the fencing version gets.

The range, honestly compared

The Site Direct PT range covers the spread from budget to premium:

  • PT-370 Basic: the entry point, a compliant, functional unit for the crew that needs a toilet, not a statement
  • PT-360 Standard: the volume seller, the balance of build and price most site buyers land on
  • PT-380 Ultra and PT-390 Premium: heavier build and higher amenity, for client facing sites and long deployments where the unit is part of the site's presentation
  • Redloos ex hire units: fleet retired stock at sharper prices, the value pick for yards and second units

The ownership maths

A toilet rents by the week; a purchase price divides by those weeks. For a crew working continuously, payback typically lands within months, after which every job carries a free toilet. The costs that stay honest: servicing (pump out on a schedule, arranged with any local waste contractor), consumables, and transport between jobs, a ute and trailer job by design.

Where ownership fits, and where it does not

Owns well: the small builder or landscaping crew with rolling jobs; the yard or depot needing permanent facilities without plumbing; the rural property; the venue that hosts regularly. Hires better: the one off event needing twenty units and a service contract, and any site where someone else's scope already includes amenities.

Compliance, briefly

The obligation is the employer's wherever the crew works: adequate facilities, reachable, clean, with hand washing and drinking water alongside. An owned unit satisfies it exactly as a hired one does, provided the servicing actually happens, put the pump out on the same recurring calendar as the vehicle services and it never becomes the problem. Water sits beside it: the water hub and a bubbler cover the drinking water half, per the hydration guide.

Placement habits worth keeping

Downwind judgement aside: reachable without crossing live vehicle routes, on ground a service truck can reach, away from the lunch area, and lit if the site runs dark mornings. The site checklist slots the toilet into the full establishment picture.
