Installation of Mobile Toilets in Rural Areas
It is feasible to install mobile toilets in rural areas, and there is corresponding support and distinct features in terms of policies, products, delivery, and installation.
Policy Support
In recent years, many places have vigorously promoted the "toilet revolution", explicitly requiring the construction and renovation of sanitary toilets in rural areas and providing certain subsidies to eligible townships and villages. Mobile toilets, as temporary or long-term solutions, fall within the scope of policy support. This provides policy guarantees for the installation of mobile toilets in rural areas, reduces the financial burden on farmers, and increases their enthusiasm for installing mobile toilets.
Diverse Products
There are various brands and types of small-scale mobile toilet products for rural households to choose from. In terms of brands, there are Jinda, Xinyue, Xincheng, Jiajing Sanitation, etc. Types include mobile toilets, dry toilets, and eco-friendly toilets. Materials include fiberglass, color-coated steel, and light steel. The price range is wide. Basic models cost about 3,000 - 8,000 yuan. For example, some fiberglass small-scale mobile toilet products for rural households cost between 400 - 680 yuan per set (unit, square meter, etc.). High-end models can cost over 20,000 yuan. For instance, the price of some park eco-friendly mobile public toilets, microbial toilets, prefabricated public toilets for rural areas reaches 8,599 yuan per unit. The price of Beijing park public toilets, mobile toilets for rural areas, microbial ecological toilets for scenic spots, and public toilets reaches 9,500 yuan per unit. Some mobile toilets have relatively complete functions. For example, the wooden-patterned toilet provided by Laobing Convenience Shower Room, which is 1.2 meters wide and 1.5 meters long, is equipped with a toilet, a small washbasin, a paper basket, and louvered windows. It is well-insulated and rain-proof, requires no bricks or tiles, and can be installed and used on the same day.
Key Points for Delivery and Installation
Most main roads in townships have been hardened, but narrow roads may exist in remote villages. Overweight or oversized equipment requires an over-limit transportation permit. Installation should avoid underground pipelines, high-voltage lines, and other facilities. Generally, a mobile toilet occupies an area of about 3 - 5 square meters and is suitable for areas with high pedestrian traffic such as squares, scenic spots, and markets. Different types of mobile toilets have different delivery characteristics. Trailer-type mobile toilets are suitable for areas with road infrastructure. They can be directly transported by trucks and are easy to install, but attention should be paid to the load-bearing limits of township bridges. Prefabricated mobile toilets need to be disassembled for transportation and are suitable for areas with complex terrain. However, the installation period is relatively long, and it is advisable to make an appointment with a professional team in advance. During use, regular inspections of water and electricity connections should be carried out, and suppliers with after-sales guarantees should be selected.
