Mobile Public Toilet

A mobile public toilet is a facility that can be moved as a whole and provides toilet services to the public. It is suitable for various places and has multiple classifications and characteristics.

Suitable Places

Mobile public toilets are 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 often have temporary or periodic demands for toilets, or face difficulties in constructing fixed public toilets. Mobile public toilets can well meet their needs. For example, in 2023, mobile toilets were gradually installed and put into use in the scenic area along the Yellow River in Lanzhou, solving the toilet problem for tourists.

Composition Structure

Generally, they are composed of fecal sewage storage tanks (or fecal sewage treatment devices), floor slabs, sanitary ware, walls, washing equipment, water tanks, roofs, and mobile devices. These components work together to provide a complete toilet environment for users.

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 evolved to use materials such as fiberglass and polyethylene, which have better durability and odor-proof properties.

Classification Methods

• By structural form: They can be divided into single-structure mobile toilets and composite-structure mobile toilets.
• By mobility method: They can be divided into hoisting and handling mobile toilets, and powered and towed mobile toilets.
• By sewage treatment method: They can be divided into water-flushing and non-water-flushing suction mobile toilets, circulating water-flushing mobile toilets, and dry-packing mobile toilets.

Characteristics and Advantages

They can be conveniently transported to any place where toilets need to be set up and can be used repeatedly. They have the advantages of mobility, combinability, and convenient transportation. Their design follows the principles of mobility and convenience, economic durability, environmental protection and ecology, and improving efficiency and promoting humanity. The overall structure is designed to be lightweight, using lightweight and durable materials as much as possible, with a sturdy structure. At the same time, the height and width of the toilets are controlled, and the mobile devices are complete and reasonable.

Special Shapes

There are also mobile toilets with special shapes, such as the brick-patterned flat-roof mobile toilet produced by Dezhou Hongtu Metal Products Co., Ltd. It is made of a galvanized steel frame, very sturdy and durable, and can be used for more than 15 years. The exterior wall panels are orange brick-patterned, with a beautiful appearance.
