Types of Mobile Public Toilets

Mobile public toilets come in a variety of types and can be classified based on structural form, material, mobility method, sewage treatment method, and usage scenario, as detailed below:

In terms of structural form, they can be divided into single-structure mobile toilets and composite-structure mobile toilets. Single-structure mobile toilets are typically independent units with relatively simple structures, suitable for scenarios with limited space or high flexibility requirements; composite-structure mobile toilets are composed of multiple units, offering richer functions to meet the needs of more people.

Based on material, common types include plastic toilets, color-steel toilets, fiberglass-reinforced plastic toilets, and tent-style toilets. Plastic toilets are lightweight and inexpensive, suitable for temporary use on construction sites; color-steel toilets offer thermal and sound insulation and have a good appearance, commonly found in parks and streets; fiberglass-reinforced plastic toilets are molded as a whole, durable, and suitable for disaster relief and emergency rescue; tent-style toilets are easy to assemble and disassemble, suitable for temporary events.

Regarding mobility method, they can be categorized into lifting and handling-type mobile toilets and powered and trailer-type mobile toilets. Lifting and handling-type mobile toilets require cranes for transportation and are suitable for fixed locations such as construction sites; powered and trailer-type mobile toilets come with wheels and can be pulled along, suitable for large events like music festivals.

In terms of sewage treatment method, there are water-flush and non-water-flush suction-type mobile toilets, circulating water-flush mobile toilets, non-water packing-type, traditional water-flush type, foam-sealing type, and microbial degradation type. Non-water packing-type mobile toilets are like diapers, sealed directly after use, suitable for desert camping; traditional water-flush type requires connection to a sewage pipe, suitable for scenic spots with sufficient water sources; foam-sealing type uses foam to cover odors, saving water and being environmentally friendly, commonly used in scenic spots; microbial degradation type can turn feces into fertilizer, commonly found in ecological parks.

Based on usage scenario, there are scenic spot toilets, construction site toilets, temporary event toilets for air shows, etc., and 6-unit row toilets for scenic campgrounds and parks. Scenic spot toilets come with handwashing basins and are disguised as small wooden houses; construction site toilets are iron sheds with direct drainage pipes; temporary event toilets for air shows, etc., come with LED lights and can be set up in an hour; 6-unit row toilets for scenic campgrounds and parks have a galvanized steel frame structure with waterproof asphalt shingles on top, can be moved with a crane, and are equipped with squat toilets, handwashing basins, exhaust fans, and ceiling lights inside.
