Beyond the Standard Layout
The standard portable office trailer is a proven, highly functional product — but not every project fits the standard mould. Site conditions, specific operational requirements, regulatory compliance, and branding needs often call for customisation. The good news is that the Scanvogn platform is highly adaptable, and a range of factory-fit and field-fit modifications are available.
Layout Customisation Options
The internal layout of a portable office trailer can be modified to suit specific workflow requirements:
Partition Configurations
- Open plan — maximum workspace, ideal for teams that collaborate closely
- Private manager’s office — partitioned end section with separate entry for confidential discussions
- Reception + office split — front reception area with security access to the main office area
- Two-room configuration — separate meeting room and main office, ideal for site visitor management
Kitchenette Options
- Standard: bench, sink, overhead cabinet
- Extended: full-width bench, microwave space, under-bench fridge space
- Full break room: with table, seating, and dedicated appliance bank
Technical Fit-Outs
For specialised applications, office trailers can be configured with additional technical infrastructure:
Communications and IT
- Structured data cabling (Cat6) to each workstation
- Patch panel and switch cabinet
- External antenna mounts for 4G/5G boosters
- Satellite dish mounting provisions
- UPS (uninterruptible power supply) compartment
Security

Power and Services

Compliance-Specific Modifications
For mine sites, government contracts, and other regulated environments, specific compliance modifications may be required:
