Mobile Toilet Size Design Standards

Admin October 12, 2026

The size design standards for mobile toilets should be comprehensively determined based on usage scenarios, functional requirements, and industry standards, as detailed below:

I. Overall External Dimensions

  1. Single-Stall Specifications: Length 1.2-1.5 meters, width 1.0-1.2 meters, height 2.2-2.5 meters, suitable for small events or temporary venues.
  2. Multi-Stall Combination Specifications: Two-stall units have a length of 2.4-3.0 meters and a width of 1.0-1.2 meters; large container-type mobile public toilets can exceed 6 meters in length and 2.5 meters in width, suitable for high-traffic areas.
  3. Height Design: Considerations include internal clear height, roof structural strength, ventilation equipment installation, and transportation height restrictions (e.g., bridges, tunnels). Some models feature a slight roof slope (approximately 5°-10°) to facilitate drainage and prevent water accumulation and leakage.

II. Internal Functional Area Dimensions and Layout

  1. Basic Toilet Area Dimensions: Net width ≥0.85 meters (ideal 0.9-1.0 meters), net depth 1.2-1.5 meters, door width ≥0.6 meters, ensuring space for users to turn around and open/close the door.
  2. Accessible Toilet Stall Dimensions: Internal net width ≥1.5 meters, net depth ≥1.8 meters; if using an inward-opening swing door, a wheelchair turning space with a diameter ≥1.5 meters must be provided inside the stall after opening, in compliance with the Accessibility Design Code (GB 50763-2012).

III. Other Model Specifications

  1. Single-Unit Mobile Restroom: Length 1.2-1.5 meters, width 1.0-1.2 meters, height 2.2-2.5 meters, suitable for temporary scenarios such as construction sites and small events.
  2. Double-Unit Mobile Restroom: Length 2.4-3.0 meters, width 1.2-1.5 meters, height 2.2-2.5 meters, equipped with separate toilet areas and a management room, suitable for large events and tourist attractions.
  3. Multi-Functional Mobile Restroom: Length 3.0-4.5 meters, width 2.0-2.5 meters, height 2.5-3.0 meters, integrating toilet, handwashing, and management functions, suitable for high-end events or long-term fixed installations.

IV. Design Considerations

  1. Ergonomics: Toilet stall width ≥0.9 meters, handwashing basin height 0.8-0.9 meters, mirror lower edge 1.0-1.2 meters from the ground, accommodating users of different heights.
  2. Material Selection: Prioritize lightweight, high-strength composite materials (e.g., fiberglass-reinforced plastic) to reduce weight (typically ≤300 kg/㎡) for easier transportation while ensuring structural stability.
  3. Waterproofing and Moisture Resistance: Design a drainage slope (≥2%) at the base, use waterproof coatings or PVC panels on walls, and lay anti-slip floor tiles to prevent water accumulation and leakage.

V. Industry Standards

Compliance with the Urban Public Toilet Design Standard (CJJ 14-2016) is required for parameters such as stall spacing, ventilation volume, and lighting coefficients; some regions (e.g., Beijing, Shanghai) impose additional requirements on mobile restroom dimensions and environmental performance (e.g., sewage storage capacity, deodorization systems), necessitating adherence to local regulations.
