Types of Office Trailers

When choosing a mobile office, it’s essential to know the types available. Each trailer is designed to cater to specific operational needs.

1. Single-Wide Office Trailers

These trailers are ideal for small teams or as on-site management hubs. They typically range from 8 to 14 feet in width and up to 64 feet in length.

Best For:

• Small construction teams

• Security offices

• Real estate showrooms

2. Double-Wide Office Trailers

These offer more interior space by combining two single-wide units. They’re great for accommodating larger teams and include additional workspace, conference rooms, or break rooms.

Best For:

• Engineering or architectural teams

• Field offices with multiple departments

• Temporary school admin buildings

3. Multi-Section Modular Offices

Built by connecting three or more units, these are closest in feel and function to a permanent office building.

Best For:

• Large-scale projects with long timelines

• Disaster response and recovery command centers

• Full administrative support buildings

4. Storage Combo Office Trailers

These combine secure storage space with office functionality in one trailer.

Best For:

• Utility companies managing job sites

5. Custom-Built Mobile Offices

Tailored to specific client requirements—include additional insulation, security systems, ADA compliance, or climate control features.

Best For:

• Businesses with specialized operational needs

• Government or military field operations

Built-In Facilities and Comfort Features

One of the biggest myths about portable office units is that they lack comfort or professional functionality. Modern office trailers are fully equipped with amenities that rival traditional office spaces.

🔹 HVAC Systems

Climate control is non-negotiable. Trailers include heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, ensuring comfort in any weather.

🔹 Insulation & Soundproofing

Wall and floor insulation keeps energy costs low and provides a quieter work environment—critical on noisy job sites.

🔹 Lighting & Electrical Systems

LED lighting, multiple electrical outlets, and built-in wiring for internet or phone lines make these trailers tech-ready.

🔹 Furniture & Workspace Setup

Many come pre-furnished with:

• Desks and chairs

• Filing cabinets

• Conference tables

• Break areas

🔹 Restrooms & Kitchenettes

Larger trailers often feature built-in restrooms and kitchenettes, improving convenience and reducing downtime.

🔹 Security Features

Equipped with secure locks, window bars, exterior lighting, and sometimes surveillance capabilities, these trailers protect assets and personnel.

👉 Pro Tip: RHC Site Services offers trailers with optional ADA-compliant access ramps and upgraded insulation for cold-weather conditions. Learn more about our customizable options.
