National Construction Site Portable Toilets

Admin September 23, 2026

National construction site portable toilets are facilities set up to meet the temporary and periodic toilet needs at construction sites and other locations. They have the advantages of being movable, combinable, and easy to transport.

Applicable Places

National construction site portable toilets are suitable for a variety of locations. In addition to construction sites, they can be used in stations, docks, tourist attractions, newly built residential areas, and other areas with a large flow of people and a temporary need for sanitation facilities. These places often cannot or do not need to build permanent toilets due to factors such as construction duration and the nature of activities. Portable toilets can effectively solve the toilet problem.

Composition Structure

They are generally composed of a fecal sewage storage tank (or fecal sewage treatment device), floor slabs, sanitary ware, walls, washing equipment, water tanks, roofs, and moving devices. The fecal sewage storage tank is used to collect and store fecal sewage, preventing direct discharge from causing environmental pollution. Sanitary ware includes squat toilets and sit toilets to meet the usage habits of different groups of people. The walls and roof ensure the privacy of the toilet and its wind and rain resistance. The moving device facilitates the overall transportation and rearrangement of the toilet.

Classification Methods

  • By structural form: They can be divided into single-structure portable toilets and composite-structure portable toilets. Single-structure portable toilets are relatively independent and have a simple structure, suitable for places with limited space or a small demand for the number of toilets. Composite-structure portable toilets are composed of multiple single units and can flexibly adjust the scale and layout of the toilets according to actual needs.
  • By moving method: They are classified into lifting and handling portable toilets and powered and towed portable toilets. Lifting and handling portable toilets mainly rely on lifting equipment or manual labor for handling and are suitable for short-distance movement. Powered and towed portable toilets have their own power or can be towed by vehicles, making movement more convenient and suitable for long-distance or frequent movement locations.
  • By sewage treatment method: They are divided into water-flush and non-water-flush suction portable toilets, circulating water-flush portable toilets, and dry-packing portable toilets. Water-flush and non-water-flush suction portable toilets treat fecal sewage through water flushing or suction. Circulating water-flush portable toilets recycle the flushing water to save water resources. Dry-packing portable toilets pack the feces for treatment and do not require water, making them suitable for water-scarce areas.

Customized Services

Some manufacturers offer customized services. For example, Dezhou Hongtu Metal Products Co., Ltd. once customized a portable toilet for a factory client in Zhejiang. According to the situation that there were more men than women in the factory, they set up 7 squat positions for men and 1 squat position for women and completed the project in an accelerated 4 days. There are also manufacturers in Henan that provide single-person toilets with complete configurations, delivered by special vehicles and shipped nationwide.
