Mobile Toilet

A mobile toilet is a facility that can be moved as a whole and provides toilet services to the public. It has the advantages of being movable, combinable, and easy to transport.

Composition Structure

Mobile toilets are generally composed of fecal sewage storage tanks (or fecal sewage treatment devices), floor slabs, sanitary ware, walls, washing equipment, water tanks, roofs, and moving devices. Initially made of materials such as wood, they had simple structures and functions and were prone to absorbing odors. Later, they gradually evolved to use materials such as fiberglass-reinforced plastic and polyethylene.

Classification Methods

• By structural form: They can be divided into single-structure mobile toilets and composite-structure mobile toilets. Single-structure ones are relatively independent and simple, while composite-structure ones may integrate more functions or have more complex structures.
• By moving method: They are classified into lifting and handling-type mobile toilets and powered and towed-type mobile toilets. Lifting and handling-type ones may require lifting equipment for movement; powered and towed-type ones can be moved by their own power or by being towed by other vehicles.
• By sewage treatment method: They are divided into water-flush and waterless-flush suction-type mobile toilets, circulating water-flush mobile toilets, and dry-packing mobile toilets. Water-flush types are similar to traditional toilets, using water for flushing; waterless-flush suction types use suction equipment to treat feces; circulating water-flush types recycle the flushing water; and dry-packing types pack the feces for treatment.

Features and Advantages

They can be easily transported to any place where toilets need to be set up and can be used repeatedly. They are suitable for stations, docks, tourist attractions, villa areas, newly built residential areas, large construction sites, squares, densely populated public places, and bustling commercial streets.

Special Types

Some companies have developed folding toilets. After being folded, they are only 90 centimeters high and can be easily transported by pickup trucks or box trucks, making them very suitable for various event sites, construction sites, and remote areas. There is also a young man who built a mobile toilet using several buckets. It is simple to make and convenient to use. Specifically, he took a wooden board, installed universal wheels on it as the base, placed the cut buckets on it, fixed them to the bucket bodies with wooden strips, cut a large bucket to create the entrance and exit of the toilet, extended and heightened it with aluminum-plastic panels and installed a bucket lid, processed a wooden door, connected the drainage pipes and installed floor drains after building the main frame, installed a water pipe joint on a green bucket, used PVC pipes to splice and make a showerhead, and installed a toilet, etc.
