Our Units
Every work site is different, so we provide a variety of welfare cabins suited to your specific needs. This ensures you can find the structure that contains the amenities you need — whether it’s a seating area for downtime, a drying room, or desk space for admin.
Curious about what our welfare units offer? Here’s an overview of what you can expect from each model:
The smallest of our welfare units available to hire is a 4 - 6 man welfare unit. It includes toilet facilities as well as a rest area with a sink, kettle, microwave, and bench seating. There’s also a small drying area.
This 8 man welfare unit has bench seating in the rest area, along with a kettle, sink, and microwave. Offering a slightly larger drying room, it has space for getting changed out of dirty workwear. You’ll also have access to toilet and handwashing facilities.
Our eco-friendly 10 man welfare unit has enough seating for a larger group and includes kitchenette and toilet facilities. There’s also a drying shelf above the generator.
For teams that need 8 person rest facilities and space for paperwork, this 8 man mobile welfare office is an excellent option. Along with the amenities featured in the Planet Power 8RD model, this design includes a one-person office with a desk and seating.
Along with the traditional rest area and drying rack, our 10 man canteen office includes both male and female toilets, making it a good choice for larger, mixed teams. There’s also a handy office space with battery powered Wi-Fi.
Do you have a larger team? Our 12 person canteen office includes extra space in the rest area, along with a larger office. As with many of our other welfare units, this site cabin includes a single toilet facility, plus a drying area above the generator.
If you need extra space for tools and drying, we can provide a robust storage unit to keep your equipment safe.
What is a welfare unit?
When working on a construction site or other temporary work environments, you may not be able to access essential amenities like toilets and showers or canteen services. Mobile welfare units offer the ideal solution. These temporary structures provide the facilities you need to work comfortably and safely.
Often, welfare units run solely on generator power. However, with site cabins from Welfare Unit Hire, you can benefit from solar charged batteries, which keep the lighting and heating running. Our hybrid welfare cabins provide a reliable and environmentally friendly way to ensure your team can access the essentials they need. This hybrid power model also means our site cabins are up to 75% cheaper to run than a conventional generator powered welfare unit.
