More About Office Trailers

In our fast-paced world, a permanent brick-and-mortar workspace is not always available or viable in certain industries. One great solution that has arisen in recent years is the mobile office trailer. These convenient, portable units provide furnished workspaces that can be transported nearly anywhere, from construction sites to remote areas where no indoor spaces exist. 

Allan Dale Trailers & RVs, with locations in Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton, is your Alberta trailer dealer. We’ve written more about office trailers below to help you decide if they’re the right solution for your mobile workspace needs.

What Is an Office Trailer?

Let’s begin with a firm definition. An office trailer is a pre-manufactured, portable office that rests on a chassis with wheels. These buildings are durable, yet lightweight in their construction. Because it’s on a trailer, the office is easy to transport wherever it’s needed, and it’s self-contained, so no other parts are needed and no construction is necessary for it to be complete. An office trailer can be towed to a site and ready very quickly, and once it’s no longer needed, the trailer can simply be hitched up and towed away again, which makes office trailers very low-maintenance and convenient.

There will be a set of stairs or a ramp to access the office so it won’t be on the ground level. Office trailers will have siding, flooring, HVAC, windows and secure locks. These trailers will usually be furnished and have power and water, a kitchen and a bathroom. Within the trailer, there may be separate partitioned workspaces for multiple workers to use.

Uses

Office trailers are used in several different industries where a temporary workspace is needed for weeks or months, but a pre-existing building doesn’t exist. 

• Construction sites may use office trailers as a workspace for the contractor or builder and as a break room for workers. 

• Government divisions may use them as overflow office space, temporary classrooms or storage space for documents.

• Educational facilities may use office trailers as temporary classrooms if there isn’t enough space in the school or university. They may also keep records or establish an administrative office in the trailer.

• Hospitals or mobile medical units may have office trailers to serve as portable labs or administration offices, or as document and record storage spaces.

• Retail stores may use an office trailer if their storefront lacks a private workspace, or they may store their records or overflow inventory within the trailer.

Countless other industries can make use of office trailers for all of the above purposes and then some. If you need a temporary indoor meeting place for board meetings, an office trailer would work very well. If your actual permanent building needs to undergo deep cleaning or major construction, then an office trailer can serve as your temporary workspace until alterations are complete. Mining or forestry work may require an indoor break space and administrative headquarters near the remote job sites. If you work from home, you may want to use an office trailer as a separate workspace from your house for privacy and convenience.
