Planet Power 8 Welfare Office: 8 Man Welfare Unit with Office
An 8 Man Welfare Unit with Office, Canteen and Toilet in One Tow
Some jobs need more than a place to eat. When the site manager also needs a desk, a door that closes and somewhere to keep the paperwork dry, the Planet Power 8 Welfare Office is the answer. It is an 8 man welfare unit with office space built in, so your crew gets full welfare facilities and your supervisor gets a proper place to work, all from a single towable unit.
It runs on solar hybrid power, which keeps the lights, heating and charging points going from the batteries and saves the generator for the kettle and microwave. Running costs come in at up to 75% less than a generator only unit, and there is nothing to connect when it arrives. We site it, lower it and it is ready.
With a thoughtful anti-vandal design and high-security features, this VCA-approved trailer will keep your team safe wherever work takes you.

A Site Office That Works as Hard as You Do
The office sits at one end of the unit, away from the bustle of the canteen. There is a fixed worktop desk with room for a laptop and drawings, a manager’s chair, built in storage, and a whiteboard and corkboard for programmes and permits. A bench seat for two behind the desk makes it easy to hold a quick private conversation or an induction.
Generator powered sockets will run a printer when you need one, and a timed inverter socket keeps a laptop charged without the engine running. A sliding window with security shutters lets in daylight and lets you keep an eye on the site while you work.

- Fixed worktop-style desk: Stay productive with a spacious desk, creating ample space for laptops, paperwork, stationery, and other office essentials.

Welfare Unit with Office FAQs
What office space does this unit include?
A one person office with a desk and seating, alongside the standard 8 person rest facilities. There is also a bench seat for two, storage, a whiteboard and powered sockets.
Who is this unit best for?
Teams that need somewhere for a site manager to handle paperwork while the crew has full welfare facilities. It is popular on civils, utilities and housing sites where a separate site office would be overkill.
Can I run a laptop or printer in the office?
Yes. Generator powered sockets will run a printer, and a timed inverter socket powers a laptop without the generator running.
Do I need a separate site office as well?
For most small to mid sized jobs, no. The built in office saves you hiring, delivering and siting a second cabin.
What if I need an office for two people?
Take a look at the Planet Power 10 Canteen Office, which has a lockable two person office with its own entrance.
