Mobile Toilet
A mobile toilet is a facility that can be moved as a whole and provides toilet services to the public. It consists of parts such as a fecal sewage storage tank, sanitary ware, and walls. There are various classification methods, and it has advantages such as mobility and combinability, making it suitable for multiple scenarios.
A mobile toilet generally consists of a fecal sewage storage tank (or fecal sewage treatment device), floor slabs, sanitary ware, walls, washing equipment, water tanks, roofs, and mobile devices. Its development has evolved from initially being made of materials like wood, with a simple structure and function and being prone to absorbing odors, to gradually using materials such as fiberglass-reinforced plastic and polyethylene.
There are multiple classification methods for mobile toilets. According to the structural form, they can be divided into single-structure mobile toilets and composite-structure mobile toilets. According to the moving method, they can be divided into hoisting and handling mobile toilets, powered and towed mobile toilets. According to the sewage treatment method, they can be divided into water-flushing and waterless-flushing suction-type mobile toilets, circulating water-flushing mobile toilets, and dry-packing mobile toilets.
Mobile toilets have many advantages. They are mobile, combinable, and easy to transport, allowing them to be conveniently carried to any place where a toilet needs to be set up and can be used repeatedly. They originated from people's temporary and periodic needs for toilets in certain specific situations. Due to the shortage and unreasonable layout of urban public toilets, the government has placed mobile public toilets in areas where it is relatively difficult to build fixed public toilets to make up for the deficiencies in the quantity and layout of public toilets. For example, in 2023, mobile toilets were gradually installed and put into use in the scenic area along the Yellow River in Lanzhou.
In addition, some companies have developed folding toilets. After being folded, they are only 90 centimeters high and can be easily transported by pickup trucks or box trucks, making them very suitable for various event sites, construction sites, and remote areas. When selecting a mobile toilet, if it is for a temporary project lasting a few months, a mobile toilet with an independent single room, a flushing device, a washbasin, lighting facilities, and using high-standard materials (such as being welded with 100*100 galvanized square steel) can be considered.
