Public Mobile Toilet

A public 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, has multiple classification methods, numerous advantages, and follows specific design principles.

Suitable Places: Public 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 in the scenic area along the Yellow River in Lanzhou were gradually installed and put into use, meeting the toilet needs of tourists.

Structural Composition: Generally, it consists 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 components of mobile toilets of different types and designs may vary.

Classification Methods:

• By structural form: It can be divided into single-structure mobile toilets and composite-structure mobile toilets.
• By moving method: It is divided into hoisting and handling mobile toilets, and powered and towed mobile toilets. For example, there are 6-row outdoor toilets for scenic areas, campsites, and parks, which are made of galvanized steel frames and can be moved as soon as they are hoisted.
• By sewage treatment method: It is divided into water-flushing and non-water-flushing suction mobile toilets, circulating water-flushing mobile toilets, and dry-packing mobile toilets.

Advantages: It can be conveniently transported to any place where a toilet needs to be set up and can be used repeatedly. It has the advantages of mobility, combinability, and convenient transportation.

Design Principles: It should follow the principles of easy mobility, economic durability; environmental protection and ecological friendliness, beneficial to the environment; improving efficiency, and promoting humanity. The overall structure should be lightweight, using lightweight and durable materials as much as possible, and the structure should be sturdy. When designing, it is also necessary to consider controlling the height and width of the toilet, and the mobile device should be fully considered for completeness and rationality.
