Admin September 24, 2026

The cost of mobile toilets varies depending on their type, material, functional configuration, and customization requirements, with prices ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan. They can be categorized into the following three types:

I. Classification by Type

  1. Simple Type: Primarily constructed with plastic or wooden structures, suitable for temporary events or low-frequency usage scenarios, with prices typically ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 yuan. These toilets have simple functions, meeting only basic sanitation needs without complex treatment systems.
  2. Common Type: Designed with steel-structured packing or foam-sealing systems, suitable for medium-frequency usage scenarios such as tourist attractions and construction sites, with prices ranging from 5,000 to 15,000 yuan. These toilets have basic sewage disposal functions, with some models equipped with water-saving devices.
  3. High-End Type: Including eco-friendly toilets, smart integrated restrooms, and custom-designed toilets, suitable for large-scale events, high-end tourist attractions, or long-term fixed usage scenarios, with prices generally exceeding 20,000 yuan, and some custom models reaching hundreds of thousands of yuan. These toilets may incorporate advanced technologies such as microbial degradation and MBR membrane treatment, or feature special exterior designs.

II. Classification by Material and Structure (Based on 6-stall examples, market prices for 2025-2026 in the North China/Inner Mongolia region)

  1. Color Steel Plate Mobile Toilets: Constructed with a color steel sandwich panel and square steel frame, with a cost of 8,000 to 15,000 yuan per unit, suitable for short-term usage scenarios.
  2. Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Mobile Toilets: Constructed with one-piece molded fiberglass, with a cost of 12,000 to 20,000 yuan per unit, featuring corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.
  3. Metal Carved Panel Mobile Toilets: Constructed with a light steel frame and metal carved panel exterior walls, with a cost of 18,000 to 30,000 yuan per unit, offering an aesthetically pleasing appearance and good thermal insulation.
  4. Steel Structure + True Stone Paint/Imitation Stone Paint Mobile Toilets: Constructed with a thickened steel structure and true stone paint exterior walls, with a cost of 28,000 to 50,000+ yuan per unit, suitable for long-term fixed usage scenarios.
  5. Container-Modified Toilets: Constructed by modifying second-hand shipping containers, with a cost of 20,000 to 40,000 yuan per unit, allowing for rapid deployment and sturdy structure.

III. Classification by Functional Partition Configuration (Based on the Yinchuan region)

  1. Basic Sanitation Unit: Constructed with a steel structure box and equipped with a squat toilet and water-saving flush tank, with a cost of approximately 13,000 to 17,000 yuan.
  2. Independent Water Supply System: Adding a dual-tank system (clean water tank + sewage tank) and water level indicators to the basic unit, with an additional cost of 4,000 to 6,000 yuan.
  3. Treatment System Upgrade: Adding a microbial degradation system increases the cost by 8,000 to 12,000 yuan, while an MBR membrane biological reaction system is more expensive, suitable for large-scale events.
  4. External Accessories: The cost of adding a handicap-accessible ramp ranges from 2,500 to 3,500 yuan, and adding a management room module increases the cost by approximately 3,000 yuan.
