HO & N Mobile Office Container

(Pre-production model shown)

To fulfill the need for portable, on demand office space at construction sites, railroad yards and many other places, companies began offering purpose-built and/or converted shipping containers for rent. These containers were fitted with office interiors, entrance/exit doors, lighting as well as air conditioning and other creature comforts. They are very versatile and are seen virtually everywhere. This new Atlas model replicates a typical 40-foot version of the purpose-built office container.
