16ft x 7ft 6in Mobile Canteen Cabin: Towable Welfare Facilities That Move with Your Project
The 16ft Wheeled Mobile Canteen Cabin is built for work sites that do not stay in one place. Mounted on a single axle with a towing hitch, this unit can be delivered by lorry and then repositioned around the site using a van, 4×4, or dumper whenever the work front moves. It eliminates the need for crane lifts, HIAB deliveries, or expensive relocation operations every time your team shifts to a new area. Simply hitch up and tow it to where it is needed.
Inside, the cabin provides a clean, heated, and well lit space for breaks, meals, briefings, and general welfare. It connects to mains water and electricity (or generator power) and is ready to serve the moment utilities are hooked up. The all steel exterior with secure shutters and a reinforced door keeps the unit protected against theft and vandalism during unoccupied hours.
Why a Wheeled Unit
Traditional static welfare cabins require a crane or HIAB truck every time they need to move. On projects where the active work zone shifts regularly, such as highway maintenance, utility trenching, rail works, or phased construction, this means repeated delivery charges and downtime waiting for transport. A wheeled canteen solves this entirely. Any vehicle with a tow bar can reposition the unit in minutes, keeping welfare facilities close to the workforce at all times without additional cost or logistics.
Key Features
- Single axle wheeled chassis: Allows the unit to be towed by van, 4×4, or site dumper across rough terrain and public roads alike.
- All steel construction: Walls, roof, and chassis are fabricated from durable steel, providing strength, weather resistance, and physical security against forced entry.
- Secure steel shutters and door: Heavy duty shutters cover the windows and a reinforced steel door protects the interior when the unit is unoccupied, deterring theft and vandalism.
- Vinyl flooring: A 2mm vinyl covering over 18mm particle board provides a durable, easy to clean surface that handles muddy boots, spills, and daily wear.
- Vinyl faced plywood walls: Wipe clean wall panels maintain a hygienic interior environment with minimal maintenance effort.
- LED strip lighting: Two energy efficient LED strip lights provide bright, even illumination across the full interior.
- Wall mounted heater: Keeps the cabin warm and comfortable during cold weather without occupying floor space.
- Twin power sockets: Two 13A twin sockets provide four outlets for kettles, microwaves, phone chargers, and other equipment.
- Noticeboard: A built in board for displaying site safety information, schedules, and organizational notices.
- Window: Natural light and visibility from inside the unit.
