Mobile Toilets in Urban Districts
Mobile toilets in urban districts are facilities designed to meet temporary or permanent toilet needs, which can be moved as a whole. They are suitable for public places such as stations, squares, and commercial streets, featuring flexible site selection and rapid construction.

I. Basic Composition and Classification Mobile toilets typically consist of fecal sewage storage tanks (or disposal devices), floor slabs, sanitary ware, walls, washing equipment, water tanks, roofs, and mobile devices. They can be classified by structural form into single-unit structures (independent units) and composite structures (multi-unit combinations); by mobility into hoisting and handling types (requiring mechanical assistance) and powered towing types (self-propelled or towable); and by sewage treatment methods into flush types (requiring a water source), non-flush suction types (regular cleaning of fecal storage tanks), recirculating flush types (sewage purification and reuse), and dry packing types (using biodegradable bags to collect feces).
II. Application Cases in Urban Districts
- Mobile Prefabricated Public Toilets: For example, two newly built public toilets in Huaxin Town, Qingpu District, adopt a mobile prefabricated design. Compared to fixed public toilets, they have the advantages of fast construction speed (modular assembly) and flexible site selection (removable and relocatable). Their appearance is simple and elegant, with two floors. The internal layout is reasonable, and the facilities are complete, including intelligent displays, seats, wheelchairs, and other convenience equipment. They are also equipped with third toilets and smart public toilet systems that can provide real-time feedback on toilet stall usage and environmental data. In addition, there are sanitation duty rooms and driver rest areas to meet the needs of sanitation workers and truck drivers.
- Customized Mobile Toilets: There are cases in urban districts where mobile toilets are customized according to specific scenarios. For example, an apple-pod mobile toilet customized for a scenic spot in Anhui features separate areas for men and women, with 20 squat positions for men. The front wall is decorated with Great Wall panels, and one side is made of sheet metal sprayed with real stone paint, with identification signs properly placed. Shanghai Guyi Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. provides customized services for large public restrooms, covering products such as prefabricated washrooms and municipal public toilets. It can complete the entire process from measurement, design, production to installation and maintenance according to customer needs and has supplied products to places such as Shanghai Railway Station.
III. Core Advantages Mobile toilets in urban districts solve the problems of long construction periods and limited site selection for traditional public toilets through modular design and flexible configuration. They are particularly suitable for densely populated areas, temporary event venues, or renovation needs. Their intelligent functions (such as toilet stall monitoring and environmental control) and humanized designs (such as third toilets and convenience facilities) enhance the user experience, while customized services meet diverse scenario requirements.
