A mobile cabin is a small mobile home, usually with a flat roof, of container or modular type, used as temporary housing or auxiliary premises. Such structures are primarily used in construction, at enterprises, on dacha plots, and in agricultural firms.

Classification of Block Modules by Purpose:

1. Construction Modules: Mobile cabins or construction trailers of this type can be rented to meet the needs of workers or security posts, for storing tools and consumables, or for organizing medical stations, offices, etc. Such cabins are also used to create shower rooms or restrooms. They can be made of metal or wood.
2. Dacha Modules: These are usually made of wood, although they can also be metal. They serve as living spaces during the spring-summer season. Renting a mobile cabin is also advantageous when used as temporary housing during the construction of a permanent building. Often, they function as storage spaces for gardening tools, kitchens, guest houses, or shower stalls.

Types of Mobile Cabins by Material:

• Metal (block containers)
• Wooden structures, which can be:
  • Panel
  • Log
  • Frame

When ordering a mobile cabin, it should be noted that the lifespan of wooden cabins is about 15 years, while for metal ones, it is about 25 years. Therefore, in many cases, it is better to arrange for leasing a mobile cabin, i.e., renting it with the option to purchase it later at residual value.

By Number of Floors:

Mobile cabins can be single, double, or triple-story. The first option is the most common, while the second and third, where cabins are stacked on top of each other, are rare.

A mobile cabin consists of a frame, external and internal cladding, floor, ceiling, and roof, as well as various equipment to ensure normal living conditions. The frame can be made of wooden beams or metal beams (angles, channels No. 8 and No. 16). When made from metal elements, the structure becomes stiffer, stronger, and more durable, which is beneficial for long-term rentals. If wood is used, the structure is lighter, and the assembly process for the external cladding is simplified.

The external cladding is made of sandwich panels or profiled sheets. Sheet metal and moisture-resistant plywood are used less frequently due to their unreliability. Sandwich panels provide excellent sound and thermal insulation. It is advisable to rent a mobile cabin with such walls when installing it in noisy areas or in regions with harsh climates. The panels can withstand mechanical loads well and resist adverse environmental factors, resulting in high durability.

For the standard floor construction, wooden beams are laid. On top, it is covered with chipboard/OSB or boards, which can later be covered with linoleum. In an upgraded version, tongue-and-groove boards with increased wear resistance are used. This is an attractive option for those needing to rent a mobile cabin for an office.

The ceiling is finished with paneling, PVC, or fiberboard. A wide variety of materials are used for the interior finishing, most commonly paneling, fiberboard, laminated chipboard, PVC, MDF, and plastic panels. The roof is usually made of a solid metal sheet, welded from steel sheets with a thickness of at least 1.2 mm. To ensure tightness, the welds and fasteners are treated with special mastic. The sheets can be galvanized or painted. If the walls are not made of sandwich panels, insulation can be made of polystyrene (PSB-35, thickness 10 cm, for the floor - 12.5 cm) or mineral wool.

Renting a mobile cabin is possible for various purposes: as housing, an office, a pavilion, a guest house, etc. The module's design allows it to be equipped with everything necessary to ensure a sufficiently high level of comfort. The cabin can be connected to water and electricity supply systems, as well as sewage. Plumbing fixtures can be installed, and electric appliances or autonomous systems can be used for heating.
