Planet Power Canteen Office 12: 12 Man Welfare Unit Hire
A 20ft Welfare Unit for Crews of Up to 12
Bigger teams need more than extra seats. They need room to move, somewhere to hang a dozen wet jackets and a canteen that does not turn into a queue at break time. The Planet Power Canteen Office 12 is our 12 man welfare unit for hire, a 20ft welfare unit that brings a spacious rest area, a lockable office, a toilet and a drying room together in one mobile, HSE compliant package.
It runs on the same solar hybrid system as the rest of the Planet Power range. 12V batteries power the LED lighting and heating, the generator only steps in for heavier loads, and running costs come out at up to 75% below a generator only unit. It suits construction sites, remote projects and anywhere a temporary office is needed alongside welfare.
