The forklift may also include a movable lift arm attached to the chassis configured for selectively lifting or placing a portable toilet enclosure of a given size, the control interface allowing a user to manipulate the power source to drive the forklift chassis via the wheels and to selectively position the movable lift arm relative to the frame. The forklift frame and wheels may be sized and configured so as to define an external perimeter no larger than a portable toilet enclosure of the given size, and the forklift may be sized and configured so as to have a weight that is no more than about four, or three, times the weight of the portable toilet enclosure of the given size. The forklift may if desired be carried on a trailer in substantially unitized registration with a plurality portable toilet enclosures of the given size. The forklift may be rear steerable via a handle. Various options and modifications are possible.
