ADA Shower
ADA Shower Trailers with Roll-In and Transfer Showers for Shelters, Outreach Programs, Campuses, Agencies and Events
Accessible showers are hard to come by when people are displaced, living unsheltered, or away from permanent facilities. NRT builds ADA shower trailers laid out for wheelchair users and people with limited mobility, with step-free access, room to turn, seats, grab bars, and hand-held sprays. As a coast-to-coast manufacturer, NRT builds standalone ADA shower units and combinations with restrooms and laundry, for purchase or rental.
Request A QuoteAccessible Showers, Wherever They Are Needed
An ADA shower trailer brings an accessible shower to places that have none: shelters after a disaster, outreach programs, campuses, public events, and agency sites. Unlike a standard shower trailer, it is laid out for wheelchair users and people with limited mobility, with a step-free approach, room to turn, a seat, grab bars, and controls within reach.
As a manufacturer, NRT builds ADA shower trailers as standalone units or combined with restrooms and laundry. For the full accessible lineup, see our ADA trailers, or compare layouts on our ADA trailer floor plans.
ADA Shower Standards at a Glance
- Roll-in shower: at least 30 x 60 inches
- Transfer shower: 36 x 36 inches with a seat
- Seat height: 17 to 19 inches
- Grab bars: 33 to 36 inches above the floor
- Hand-held spray: hose at least 59 inches long
- Controls: within a 15 to 48 inch reach range
What Makes a Shower Trailer ADA Compliant
A larger stall or a ramp alone does not make a shower accessible. ADA standards set specific requirements for the shower, the room around it, and the path to reach it:
- Step-free access: a ramped or low-profile entry to the trailer and a minimal threshold at the shower
- Turning space: a 60-inch turning circle in the room so a wheelchair can turn around
- Shower size: a roll-in shower at least 30 by 60 inches, or a 36 by 36 inch transfer shower
- Seating: a fold-down or fixed seat 17 to 19 inches high
- Grab bars: mounted 33 to 36 inches above the floor on the shower walls
- Hand-held spray: on a hose at least 59 inches long, usable from the seat
- Controls and hardware: within reach from the seat and usable with one hand, without tight grasping or twisting
- Signage: the International Symbol of Accessibility with raised characters and Braille
