Reading time: 6.5 minutes

It’s time to start looking for office trailer rentals! Spring and summer are here and construction isn’t slowing down, not even for a pandemic.

Perhaps your permanent office building is currently under construction. Or maybe you are a construction company that needs a command center office trailer for your job site. Either way, you’ve started to think about how you are going to give your team the office space they need to be comfortable, stay organized, and keep work moving as seamlessly as possible. You also need the solution to be conscious of your budget.

Why rent a mobile office trailer?

As mentioned in the introduction, there are plenty of reasons to consider renting an office trailer. This might include but is not limited to:

Temporary office space solution
Portable and relocatable office infrastructure
Securable office trailers protect documents, tools, and property from theft and damage
Budget-friendly/affordable save time and money
Quick to install

Temporary space provided by renting an office trailer means that you can enter into a flexible leasing agreement. For short-term projects that run from only a few months to two years, this results in a significant cost savings in comparison to buying a permanent office building. Should your worksite layout change for any reason, you can always have your office trailer moved to accommodate the space of your property.

Portable office trailers are also securable. Add the type of lock security that your company is comfortable with. This might mean card access locks, traditional key locks, or passcode locks to protect against theft. Security cameras as well as temporary fencing all add up to quickly secure your staff and belongings.

Depending on the scope of the project, office trailers can be delivered within days, weeks or months. Customers often benefit from the fleets of office trailers that companies like VESTA Modular have prefabricated and ready for immediate deployment and installation.

Common Uses for Portable Office Trailer Rentals

Construction Trailers

If you work in the construction trades or own a construction company, then you know how invaluable it is to have a modular office building on your worksite. Whether you work for a plumbing and heating company, as an electrician, are a drywaller, architect, or an engineer, it’s important to have a secure, clean place to get officerelated work done. Store documents, sign contracts, fill out paperwork, review blueprints, and hold meetings in your ground level office or office complex.

Healthcare Office Trailers and Medical Labs

We have been busy during the current COVID-19 crisis servicing a lot of hospitals and their staff with office trailers outside their main campus buildings. These spaces give doctors, nurses, administrative staff, and even patients a safe, sanitary environment. The temporary office, and quick installation process gives the hospital a way to increase square footage for a short amount of time and save money to protect healthcare workers and patients. Here is a portable office for a hospital that we serviced in just seven days.

Government Swing Spaces / Government Offices

In the case of an emergency or during construction on a government office such as a secretary of state, library buildings, town halls, or city government buildings, temporary office trailers make great work spaces. Our trailers ensure that you can still service community members with the authorization of paperwork and important documentation. Government agencies have also rented portable offices as swing spaces and security monitoring spaces during natural disaster emergencies such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires.

Portable School Offices and Classrooms

Portable offices for the education sector have often made sense as these temporary modular buildings can be leased for the school year, or even during major summer construction. This flexible lease option allows teachers, counselors, secretaries, principles, and superintendents to continue operating during restoration projects. Superintendents and school boards are also happy to have a high quality office trailer that can ensure education budgets are prioritized for their students, and not for additional expensive infrastructure costs.

Multipurpose Office and Storage Trailer Space

Our office and storage trailers, and on-ground office containers are designed to help folks who are leasing a space and need it to be multipurpose. Office trailer rentals that are leased to give one management-level position a desk to work from, can opt to have a portion of the container square footage be used for storage. A divider wall can typically be installed if stored items and employee space are meant to be separated.

Retail Office Space

Retailers that find themselves in older downtown buildings, or with an inadequate amount of space in back storage areas that hold inventory should consider an office lease option until a more permanent office type can be installed.

Common Office Trailer Dimensions For Rentals

Rentable office trailer dimensions can vary quite widely, but below are some of the most standard temporary office dimensions and layouts that you will find.

Single Wide Office Trailers Floor Plans and Specs. For Rent

For a general distinction, on-ground single office trailers are generally a purpose drive, utility building. They’re sturdy, keep your property dry, and easily securable. General portable or office trailers are helpful when the appearance and height of the building need to match your campus. These trailers come with plenty of options for flooring, siding, roofing, and entrance access ramps or stairs.

Double Wide Office Trailer Floor Plans and Specs. For Rent

Double wide offices are often two prefabricated, single-wide office units that are fixed together seamlessly to give occupants the feeling of openness. Office complex trailers are simply larger trailers installed to one another. On another note, modular building units can also stack vertically for worksites and campuses that would benefit from a taller building, rather than a wider one.

Temporary Office Complex Layouts

What Office Rental Floor Plan Dimensions Should I Choose?

There are multiple sources on selecting the right size office trailer for you and your team. The most important factors for determining the right office trailer unit to rent include:

Size of the property you will be installing the trailer

Some construction projects are limited on their office trailer size due to property size obstacles. If length is an obstacle, you might want to rent a wider double-wide or multiple single-wide shorter units. If length and width are a problem, consider stacking to add height, or opt in for a square office complex.

Number of employees using the office trailer at any given time

Depending on how you plan to utilize an office trailer, some people recommend 60 to 150 square feet per worker. For more formal staffing layouts or cubicle designs, the square footage per workstation increases to be closer to 400-500 square feet per station.

Ask the supplier the actual usable space inside the office trailer unit

Suppliers will have a large number of office trailers for you to choose from. Be sure to talk to them about the usable space inside of their office options. This changes based on layouts, bathroom requirements, and wall specifications.

What features can be equipped in an office trailer rental?

The specs that are included all depend on the supplier that you shop with. Suppliers will often be willing to provide some, if not all of the following for your office:

ADA compliant handicap bathrooms
Climate controlled office environments with HVAC systems
Windows
Lighting installations
Office furniture: chairs, couches
Desks or blueprint table
Wired for full data connectivity
Entrance ramps or stairways
Filing cabinets
Projectors
Custom Siding
Custom Flooring
Custom Roofing
Security Cameras
Various security systems and locks
Cooperative purchase options

For a customized experience in office trailer rentals, there is a seemingly endless list of features.

Does your office trailer need different flooring, or a stylized roofing type? Will your office trailer need to accommodate a significant number of computers or projectors? Does it need a large number of outlets? For these types of specialized add-ons, give a supplier a call.
