The Advantages of Our Eco-Friendly Welfare Units
Cutting Costs While Protecting the Planet
Our solar-powered hybrid mobile welfare cabin is a game-changer. It significantly reduces site welfare costs and contributes positively to the environment. The unique solar/battery power system cuts generator run time by up to 85%, saving costs and reducing carbon emissions.
Mobility and Convenience: The Essence of Towable Eco Welfare Units
Effortless transportation and secure site placement are hallmarks of our towable eco welfare units. These twin-axle mobile cabins ensure smooth relocation and provide stable, safe, and secure access for your team.
Innovative Features of Our Eco Towable Welfare Unit
Advanced Solar/Battery System: A Step into the Future
Our units are equipped with solar panels that charge batteries year-round, powering essential amenities like lighting, heating, and hot water. Providing your site operatives with the comfort they deserve.
The great thing about this unit is that you don’t have to do anything! The hybrid solar/battery system is fully automated with the generator only kicking in when required to boil a kettle or heat up your lunch, making site operations much more efficient.
Efficient Heating and Spacious Design
Heat is provided by a very compact diesel heater that ducts warm air into the cabin as well as the dry room which will have wet coats dried out in no time at all.
The unit’s design reduces generator use, only required for cooking or occasionally as a backup during winter months.
Roomy and Well-Equipped for Comfort
Accommodating up to 12 people, the eco welfare unit includes a toilet cubicle with various options and a separate office space. It comes fully equipped with a desk and chair ready to get to work. And with the generator only running occasionally, noise is never a concern.
It’s a complete package for site supervisors and engineers who need a blend of comfort and privacy.
Conclusion: A Greener Future with Every Step
So, there you have it. A sizeable, all-encompassing eco welfare cabin for your team. Easily towed to site but with very minimal running costs, it doesn’t get much better than that!
