Mobile Simple Toilet

A mobile simple toilet is a facility that can be moved as a whole and set up at fixed or temporary locations to provide toilet services for the public and customers. The following is an introduction from three aspects: composition, classification, and self-made methods.

Composition: It generally 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. These components work together to achieve the basic functions of a simple toilet, such as storing fecal sewage, providing a toilet space, ensuring hygiene conditions, and facilitating mobility.

Classification:

• By structural form: It can be divided into single-structure mobile toilets and composite-structure mobile toilets. The single structure is relatively simple and independent, while the composite structure may be composed of multiple parts and may have more complex and diverse functions.
• By mobility method: It can be divided into lifting and handling mobile toilets, and powered and towed mobile toilets. Lifting and handling mobile toilets may require external equipment for movement; powered and towed mobile toilets have their own power or can be moved by vehicle towing.
• By sewage treatment method: It can be divided into water-flush and non-water-flush suction mobile toilets, circulating water-flush mobile toilets, and dry-packing mobile toilets. Water-flush toilets use water to flush excrement; non-water-flush suction toilets use a suction device to treat feces; circulating water-flush toilets recycle the flushing water; dry-packing toilets dry-pack the feces.

Self-made methods: Some simple mobile toilets can be made by individuals using materials such as water storage barrels. For example, someone splits a water storage barrel in half, fixes universal wheels at the four corners of a wooden board for mobility, uses wooden strips to increase the height of the barrel, opens a door on the side of the water storage barrel, installs sponge strips to form a door frame, inserts plastic soft boards to form elevated walls, places the upper half of the water storage barrel on the top of the wooden strips to form a roof, and also installs drainage pipes, toilets, water tanks, washbasins, etc. Another person uses a water storage tank and a pallet for construction. They fix universal wheels at the four corners of the bottom of the pallet, place the water storage tank, cut the water storage tank to form an open tank, stack and fix two water storage tanks, cut out a door, open a hole in the internal floor to install drainage equipment, fix the toilet, install faucets, washbasins, showers, etc., and finally install the door.
