Mobile Outdoor Toilet

A mobile outdoor toilet, also known as a mobile toilet, is a facility that can be moved as a whole and provides toilet services to the public. It is introduced from multiple aspects below:

Suitable Locations

It is suitable for stations, docks, tourist attractions, villa areas, newly built residential communities, large construction sites, squares, densely populated public places, and bustling commercial streets. These places have a large flow of people, and the demand for toilets is either temporary or fixed but requires flexible arrangement. Mobile toilets can well meet these needs.

Composition and Structure

It generally consists of a fecal sewage storage tank (or fecal sewage treatment device), floor slab, sanitary ware, walls, washing equipment, water tank, roof, and mobile device. Different components work together to achieve the basic functions of a mobile toilet, such as fecal storage, toilet environment protection, and mobile transportation.

Development History and Materials

Initially, mobile toilets were made of materials such as wood, with simple structures and functions, and were prone to absorbing odors. Later, they gradually developed to use materials such as fiberglass and polyethylene. These materials have better durability, odor resistance, and ease of cleaning, improving the overall performance of mobile toilets.

Classification Methods

• By structural form: They can be divided into single-structure mobile toilets and composite-structure mobile toilets. Single-structure toilets are relatively simple and independent, while composite-structure toilets may be composed of multiple parts and have more complex and diverse functions.
• By mobile method: They are classified into hoisting and handling mobile toilets, and powered and towed mobile toilets. Different mobile methods are suitable for different transportation scenarios and needs. For example, hoisting and handling mobile toilets are suitable for short-distance and small-scale movement, while powered and towed mobile toilets are suitable for long-distance and large-scale transportation.
• By sewage treatment method: They are divided into water-flush and waterless-flush suction mobile toilets, circulating water-flush mobile toilets, and dry-packing mobile toilets. Water-flush toilets have better cleaning effects but require water resources; waterless-flush suction and dry-packing toilets do not require or require a small amount of water, making them more water-saving and environmentally friendly; circulating water-flush toilets can achieve water resource recycling.

Characteristics and Design Principles

They have the advantages of being movable, combinable, and easy to transport, and can be conveniently transported to any place where toilets need to be installed and can be used repeatedly. Their design follows the principles of easy mobility, economic durability; environmental protection and ecological friendliness; improving efficiency and promoting humanity. In addition, there are also pastoral-style mobile toilets with unique designs in appearance and function, such as a ridged roof, decoration with straw, and the installation of public washbasins and beauty mirrors.
