Mobile
toilets are a common sight at construction jobs or during large-population
events where normal restrooms are either not available or will not be
sufficient to cover the needs of the masses. Generally, most mobile toilets
have a standard size and standard dimensions both inside and outside, though
there are the occasional exceptions to the rule.

The outside
dimensions of standard mobile toilets will stand at around 91 inches high, give
or take an inch, and will usually have an outside width of 44 inches and an
outside length of 48 inches. However, the space inside a mobile toilet is
usually pretty cramped, with the inside width measuring 42 inches and the
inside length measuring 21 inches. The other 26 inches or so of length are
taken up by the toilet and tank.

As a rule,
a basic mobile toilet will weigh around 200 pounds stone-empty. This weight
will change depending on how many clients it’s serviced recently. Most mobile
toilets come with a tank that holds between 60 and 75 gallons, depending on the
manufacturer.

By their
very nature, handicapped-accessible toilets need to be larger than their
standard counterparts. Handicapped toilets will typically be around 77 inches
long and wide, and around 90 inches tall. Most of the extra space is given to
floor space, around 60 inches of turning space, for the handicapped person to
turn his wheelchair appropriately. These toilets also weigh an extra hundred or
so pounds, usually coming in around 330 pounds in total.

As we said
before, these mobile toilets are ideal in areas where there isn’t access to a
plumbed toilet. Some mobile toilets come enclosed for privacy, while others are
just a free standing toilet shell that fits in a prepared space. Whatever type
of mobile toilet you own, one thing is for sure: it must be cleaned. Well, the
following are some tips about how to clean a mobile toilet, read them carefully
if you own one.

Empty the
bottom tank of your Mobile Toilet completely. Rinse it well with running water
until it is clean. And then, expel all the extra tank mix from the pressure
lines and suction by operating the pump a few times. Pour a mixture of 1/2 cup bleach
to a gallon of water into the top tank and shake it around until the bleach
water coats all the walls. Then, place the top tank back on the bottom tank.
Operate the pump to distribute the bleach water through the lines and pump,
until all the water is transferred to the bottom tank. Now, remove the top tank
and turn it upside down to make sure all the bleach water drains out. Let it
dry.
