The Mobilet is designed as a slab toilet with a superstructure creating the privacy of a single stall. The structure uses polyethylene to increase the product's lifetime. The toilets are modular and were designed to be integrated together for rapid installation.

Product Schematics

Technical Support

The Mobilet reduces the need for contractors, instead producing a "do-it-yourself" toilet that can be maintained directly by users. The distributors also provide support for clients with 1-year of after sales service and on contract can maintain facilities monthly.

Replacement Components

Additional squatting slabs or slabs with pedestals can be purchased separately from the manufacturer.
