We have manufactured office trailers for several prominent Ontario office trailer rental companies. We also carry supplementary products for our trailers such as demountable partitioning, stairs, landings, decks, ramps, levelling stands, skirting, and office furniture.
If our standard trailers do not meet you specific needs, we can custom design an office trailer for you. We have incorporated central air conditioning, propane and natural gas furnaces, shelving, lab environments, and numerous interior finishes to meet clients’ requirements.
If you require something more permanent, check out our Modular Buildings, which can also be customized to your requirements.
Small Office Trailers
Small office trailers are generally considered a single room office. They are used for small lunch rooms and remote field offices. An 8×16 provides adequate lunch room space for up to 6 seats, and a 10×20 can accommodate up to 12 person lunch room.
Two desk/workstations can be squeezed into an 8×16, but that leaves little space for other “stuff” that ends up in a remote office. Two areas can easily be fit into a 10×20, but a 10×24 or even a medium-size office trailer provides a more comfortable working environment for 2 work areas.
The choice between an 8 foot wide trailer and a 10 foot wide one is decided based on the trade-off between relocatability and functional space. A 10 foot wide trailer allows a vastly more convenient layout, but it requires a permit to be driven on Ontario roads.
Medium Office Trailers
Medium size office trailers are large enough to partition off a separate area, providing a private office from the common area. All medium sized office trailers are manufactured such that TMB’s demountable partitions can be installed at strategic locations in the trailer.
Lunch Rooms: When left wide open for a lunch room, a 10×32 provides adequate space to seat 18 people and a 12×32 can seat 24 people. When a 12×32 trailer is partitioned for a private office, the remaining 12ft by 22ft floor area provides adequate space to seat 16 people.
Large Office Trailers
Large office trailers are large enough to partition off multiple areas, providing private offices, or multiple common areas. All large office trailers are manufactured such that TMB’s demountable partitions can be installed at strategic locations in the trailer.
Lunch Rooms: When left wide open for a lunch rooms, a 10×40 can seat up to 22 people, a 12×52 can seat up to 36 people, and a 12×60 can handle about 48 people. If the trailer has partitioned off offices, the following chart provides suggested seating capacities:
The choice between 10 foot wide and 12 foot wide is generally determine by the job site. Some sites, such as the side of a road, are limited in width. Both widths of trailer are considered “Over Width” by the Ministry of Transportation and require a permit to be driven on Ontario roads.
