Guardhouses and Kiosks

A guardhouses and kiosks, also referred to as a security gatehouse, guard shack, or modular kiosk, is a prefabricated portable building typically used as an access control checkpoint. Strong, durable, and weather-resistant, the security cabins we supply come in various sizes and designs, and they are generally used to provide security personnel with a compact and secure space to check credentials or control access to restricted areas, parking lots, construction sites, or industrial and commercial facilities. Our range of prefab guard booths can be highly customised, and we can manufacture and deliver them quickly, making them a practical and affordable alternative to traditional security gatehouse constructions.

Guard Houses

A guard house is a portable and prefabricated construction manufactured remotely, securely packed, and delivered to your site. These robust and steel-framed sandwich panel containers come insulated for comfort and thermal performance, and they have a guardhouse floor plan that varies according to your needs. Our standard guard booths accommodate one or multiple personnel and can include video security systems, access barriers, storage, compact sanitary facilities, and furnishings. Security huts are available in sizes varying from 1.5 m x 1,5 m square to 6,00 m x 2.4 m.

Kiosks

A modular kiosk is like a guard house; however, rather than being applied for security purposes, they tend to be used as car park payment points, portable ticket booths, mobile first-aid booths, or point-of-sale kiosks in factory forecourts, car parks, airports, car hire centres, or on industrial estates. Our portable kiosks come with an interior space of between 2.25 sqm and 14.4 sqm, which can be customised structurally and aesthetically to suit their purpose and location.

• Prefab Guard Booths for Security Personnel: The military, hospitals, airports, highway control areas, private estates, schools, industrial sites, and construction sites often use a guard house to oversee entry and control access to and from a sensitive location or facility.
• Security Cabins for Observation: A guard house can be used as a visual deterrent and to form an observation point to monitor movement and unwanted access along a perimeter or high-security boundary or fence.
• Security Huts for Night Watchmen: Many commercial and residential sites use a guard house to provide shelter for onsite security guards or CCTV operators.
• Guard House as Point-of-Sale Kiosks: shopping malls, car parks, sports stadiums, and drive-throughs often use a portable guardhouse to accept payments or issue tickets on exit and entry.
