Guard Shacks: Pre-assembled & Modular

Guard shacks and their security benefits.

With the evolution of industrial distribution and manufacturing buildings throughput, turns, velocity and overall truck traffic continue to increase. Security is another factor that often starts with a secure site, consisting of perimeter fencing and controlled point of access.

At the controlled point of access, a guard shack is typically installed to allow a guard to oversee the access in and out of the site.

Pre-assembled, modular guard shacks are often a good solution as security booths for such a small structure on commercial real estate properties.

Another factor to consider is the local adoption of certain energy codes as the guardshacks units may not meet locally adopted energy codes. This can be discussed with local contacts to determine the best way to address this matter, should it exist.

Additional Benefits: Improves efficiency and provides adequate queuing area to get inbound trucks off the street.
