What is a Portable Cabin and How Quickly Can I Get One?

A portable cabin is a self-contained, standalone building designed and engineered to be easily transported between locations rather than having a single fixed location. Constructed offsite in a factory, portable cabins are transported between locations by lorry and lifted into position by crane.

PF Modular supplies portable cabins for sale across the UK, including new, used and refurbished units. Stock cabins are available for immediate delivery, while new portable cabins are typically delivered in 6 to 8 weeks. The price of each cabin depends on its size, age, specification and condition – current prices are shown on individual stock listings, and you can always contact us for further specifics.

Portable Cabin Types Available

At PF Modular, we’ve perfected two types of portable cabins: jackleg cabins and steel anti-vandal cabins.

Jackleg Cabins

A jackleg cabin is your standard portable site cabin, raised from the ground on adjustable legs. Great for providing practical space, jackleg cabins are commonly used as site offices, staff welfare facilities, canteens, drying rooms, classrooms and general-purpose accommodation.

They’re suitable for construction sites, schools, businesses, councils and other organisations that need genuinely functional spaces now, and may need to transport and relocate that space later.

Steel Anti-Vandal Cabins

Steel anti-vandal portable cabins are designed with security in mind for exposed or unmanned sites. They’re engineered for safety and are the right choice when equipment, materials or the cabin itself needs greater protection against unauthorised access.

Anti-vandal cabins are popular for construction sites, infrastructure projects, and storage spaces where security is important.

How Much Do Portable Cabins Cost?

The cost of a portable cabin depends on the unit’s size, age, specification and condition, each of which can vary broadly. So, while we wish a straightforward answer were possible, the more useful way to understand portable cabin pricing is by looking at the current stock and comparing the units with your needs. 

For new portable cabins, the specification and fit-out affect the final cost, whereas used and refurbished portable cabin prices depend on age, condition, and what’s included. The cabin type is also an important factor, since a secure steel anti-vandal cabin requires more complex construction than a jackleg cabin.

Looking for a cheaper portable cabin? Our used portable cabins and second-hand portable cabins for sale are extra cost-effective, and we can refurbish them to your needs if required.

What Are Portable Cabins Used For?

Portable cabins are really practical for a wide range of needs, from construction site offices to classrooms and event facilities. Their standalone design and easy transportation make them ideal when extra space is needed quickly, especially when there are potentially other uses on the horizon.
Portable cabins can be properly configured as welfare units, canteens and drying rooms, so that staff have somewhere practical to eat, rest, change and work away from the main construction area.

How are Portable Cabins Delivered and Installed?

Delivery is carried out by HIAB or crane, depending on the site and its available access. As for costs, delivery is quoted per site, not published as a standard charge because the cost is determined by the location and its available access.

Portable Modular Building FAQs

How much does a portable cabin cost?

Portable cabin prices vary broadly according to size, age, specification and condition. At PF Modular, we display the current price of each available stock cabin, so you can compare actual units rather than relying on a general price range. New, used and refurbished portable cabins can all have different price points. View our stock here. 

 

What sizes do portable cabins come in?

PF Modular supplies portable cabins in lengths from 10ft to 40ft, including 10ft, 12ft, 16ft, 20ft, 24ft, 28ft, 32ft and 40ft options. The most suitable size depends on the cabin’s purpose, layout, number of users and equipment requirements.

How long does delivery take?

Stock portable cabins are available for immediate delivery, while new portable cabins typically have a 6 to 8 week lead time from order. Delivery is nationwide and is carried out by HIAB or crane depending on site access. Delivery costs are quoted separately for each site, as it depends on several factors.

Do I need planning permission for a portable cabin?

Planning requirements depend on the location, proposed use and duration of the installation. A portable cabin may still require planning permission even though it can be moved. Be sure to check the relevant requirements before installation.

What is the difference between a jackleg cabin and an anti-vandal cabin?

A jackleg cabin is a standard portable site cabin raised on adjustable legs, while a steel anti-vandal cabin is designed for locations where greater security is required, particularly exposed or unmanned sites.

What site preparation do I need for a portable cabin?

The cabin needs a suitably prepared location with adequate access for delivery and lifting equipment. The exact requirements depend on the cabin and site. Delivery may be by HIAB or crane, so access should be considered before ordering.

How quickly can I get a portable cabin delivered?

If the cabin you need is already in stock, we can prepare it for delivery immediately. New portable cabins typically take 6 to 8 weeks from order. Delivery timing also needs to take into account site access and the agreed delivery arrangements, so give us a call and let’s chat about it.
