Portable toilets are facilities that can be moved as a whole and provide toilet services to the public. They are suitable for various places and come in multiple types and features.

Suitable Places: Portable toilets are suitable for stations, docks, tourist attractions, villa areas, newly built residential communities, large construction sites, squares, densely populated public places, and bustling commercial streets. These places often have temporary or periodic needs for toilets, or it is relatively difficult to build fixed public toilets. Portable toilets can effectively make up for the shortcomings of insufficient public toilet supply and unreasonable layout. For example, in 2023, the Lanzhou Yellow River Scenic Area gradually installed and put into use portable toilets.

Composition Structure: They are generally composed of fecal sewage storage tanks (or fecal sewage treatment devices), floor slabs, sanitary ware, walls, washing equipment, water tanks, roofs, and mobile devices. Initially made of materials such as wood, they had simple structures and functions and were prone to absorbing odors. Later, they gradually developed to use materials such as fiberglass and polyethylene, which are more durable and environmentally friendly.

Type Classification:

  • According to the structural form, they can be divided into single-structure portable toilets and composite-structure portable toilets.
  • According to the moving method, they can be divided into hoisting and handling portable toilets, and powered and trailer-mounted portable toilets.
  • According to the sewage treatment method, they can be divided into water-flushing and non-water-flushing suction portable toilets, circulating water-flushing portable toilets, and dry-packing portable toilets.

Main Features: They can be conveniently transported to any place where toilets need to be set up and can be used repeatedly. They have the advantages of being movable, combinable, and easy to transport.

Design Principles: The design of portable toilets should follow the principles of being mobile and convenient, economical and durable; being environmentally friendly and beneficial to the environment; improving efficiency and promoting humanity. The overall structure should be considered lightweight, using lightweight and durable materials as much as possible. The structure should be sturdy. When designing, the height and width of the toilet should also be controlled, and the mobile device should be fully considered for completeness and rationality.

Market Price: In the Beijing area, there are various types of portable toilets available for sale or rent, with prices varying according to type and configuration. For example, there are different price points such as 1900 yuan, 760 yuan, and 27000 yuan.
