Mobile Special Toilet

A mobile toilet is a facility that can be moved as a whole and provides toilet services to the public. It is suitable for various places and comes in multiple types with different features.

Suitable Places

Mobile 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 demands for toilets, or it is relatively difficult to build fixed public toilets. Mobile toilets can effectively make up for the shortcomings of insufficient public toilet supply and unreasonable layout. For example, in 2023, mobile toilets were gradually installed and put into use in the scenic area along the Yellow River in Lanzhou, meeting the toilet needs of tourists.

Composition Structure

Generally, they consist of a fecal sewage storage tank (or fecal sewage treatment device), floor slab, sanitary ware, walls, washing equipment, water tank, roof, and mobile device. The specific composition of mobile toilets with different structures and functions may vary.

Development History and Materials

Initially, mobile toilets were made of materials such as wood, with simple structures and functions, and were prone to absorbing odors. Later, they gradually evolved to use materials like fiberglass-reinforced plastic and polyethylene, which have better performance, making mobile toilets more durable and hygienic.

Classification Methods

• By structural form: They can be divided into single-structure mobile toilets and composite-structure mobile toilets.
• By mobility method: They can be divided into hoisting and handling mobile toilets, and powered and trailer-mounted mobile toilets.
• By sewage treatment method: They can be divided into water-flush and non-water-flush suction mobile toilets, circulating water-flush mobile toilets, and dry-packing mobile toilets.

Features and Advantages

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 mobility, combinability, and convenient transportation.

Design Principles

The design should follow the principles of easy mobility, economic durability, environmental protection, ecological friendliness, efficiency improvement, and humanitarian promotion. The overall structure should be 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. In addition, there are mobile toilets with special shapes. For example, the special-shaped mobile toilet produced by Dezhou Hongtu Metal Products Co., Ltd. has a galvanized steel frame as a whole, which is very sturdy and durable and can be used for more than 15 years. The exterior wall panel is orange brick-patterned, which is very beautiful.
