Mobile Toilet 1

Admin September 21, 2026

A mobile toilet is a facility that can be moved as a whole and set up in fixed or temporary locations to provide public toilet services. The following is an introduction from the aspects of composition, classification, advantages and disadvantages, and price:

Composition: 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. Initially made of materials such as wood, it had a simple structure and function and was prone to absorbing odors. Later, it gradually evolved to use materials such as fiberglass-reinforced plastic and polyethylene.

Classification:

  • By structural form: It can be divided into single-structure mobile toilets and composite-structure mobile toilets.
  • By moving method: It can be divided into hoisting and handling mobile toilets, and powered and towed mobile toilets.
  • By sewage treatment method: It can be divided into water-flush and waterless-flush suction mobile toilets, circulating water-flush mobile toilets, and dry-packing mobile toilets.

Advantages and Disadvantages:

  • Advantages: It has the advantages of being movable, combinable, and easy to transport. It can be conveniently transported to any location where a toilet needs to be set up and can be used repeatedly. It originated from people's temporary and periodic needs for toilets in certain specific situations. Due to the shortage and unreasonable layout of public toilets in cities, the government has set up mobile public toilets in areas where it is relatively difficult to build fixed public toilets to make up for the shortage of toilet supply and the unreasonable layout.
  • Disadvantages: Not mentioned in the reference information.

Price: The prices of mobile toilets vary greatly depending on their types, configurations, and materials. For example, a customized color-steel-plate mobile toilet for outdoor use, with squat toilets, washbasins, suitable for scenic spots and construction sites, is priced at 300 yuan per month (rental or sale status unknown). A well-decorated mobile toilet for outdoor use in scenic spots, which serves as a public toilet in parks and construction sites, is priced at 99 yuan per 11 square meters. A high-end mobile toilet with a shower room, smart features, suitable for outdoor scenic spots, and serving as a public toilet is priced at 475 yuan. On Alibaba, a metal-carved-panel mobile toilet for scenic spots, with anti-odor integrated design for outdoor public use, is priced at 1500 yuan. A mobile toilet produced by a manufacturer for outdoor use, with renovation features, suitable for high-end finished water-flush and direct-discharge mobile public toilets in scenic spots, is priced at 1150 yuan.
