One of the most useful multi-utility items that can be used for transportation, storage and different other purposes are portable cabins. These cabins are prefabricated structures mounted on a solid steel frame, which can be transported and dismantled with ease. The frame is usually made up of synthetic resins to keep the overall weight of the cabin manageable. These cabins used to be used solely for transportation and storage purposes, but today an exclusive range of modular cabins and containers are found to be used for a variety of other purposes.
They are now used as welfare units - offering much more space and facilities than a temporary camp. A welfare unit is convenient for outdoor camping and fieldwork, which require overnight stays for temporary period. These are self-contained and independent sheltering units with power and electric supplies. They also have separate areas for dining and sleeping. There is a range of designs that these convenient cabins are available in some featuring common room, a small area for food preparation, all equipped with a sink and even space for storing food, a shower, and a toilet. There are even high-end models with an extra space to be used as porch.
More elaborate than a welfare unit are modular housing units - constructed using multiple containers. Believe it or not, even luxury houses and museums have been constructed using these containers. The containers can be connected from end to end or sideways or even stacked on top of the other. Some companies have started experimenting with these cabins, and in all likelihood, the use of these cabins will be greatly enhanced in the near future. It is possible to find portable cabins being used as cafes and small restaurants as well. Being mobile and easily transportable, a cabin restaurant need not be fixed at one area. Such cafes can be located at crowded zones and function more as take away facilities. These containers are also used as waiting sheds or temporary offices.
