Can Detachable Container designed for a Guard Shack?

What is a Guard Shack?

A guard shack, also known as a security guard house or security guard booth, is a compact building, often pre-engineered, prefabricated, modular and sometimes portable. The purpose of the guard booth is to house security personnel and equipment on properties where a security presence is needed. As an important part of your overall security plan, a prefabricated container house ensures the protection of your people, property, and business assets.

A prefabricated guard shack can be a wise investment as part of your security strategy, but it also has some limitations. In this article, we've laid out the advantages when considering the purchase of a modular guard shack.

Prefab Guard booths are great central hubs for security surveillance, and they've been proven to make a measurable difference in crime rates in facilities that use them. A study from the USC's School of Policy, Planning, and Development shows a 17.8% decrease in property crimes after installation of a video surveillance system. Guard shacks can be equipped with electrical power, internet supply, desk space, and monitors to be a video surveillance center and serve as the eyes and ears of your security staff.

Other features include:

    Built-in restrooms so that guards don't have to leave their post as often and are less exposed to the elements.
    Extra doors to create ease of access into and out of the booth, which can prove useful in emergency security situations.
    Extra desk space for computer hardware.
    Sliding screen windows so that guards can easily communicate with visitors.

Although most guard booths are built to be permanently placed in position, portable prefabricated guard booths can be relocated quickly and easily. You can relocate them either by having caster wheels installed (this is more easily done on smaller models), purchasing a trailer booth, or using a forklift. Adaptability is a fantastic benefit of a mobile guard booth. For example, portable booths can be placed inside a factory or warehouse.
