FAQ
Mobile guard shack FAQ
Answers to the questions security company owners and directors ask most.
What is a mobile guard shack?
A mobile guard shack is a small, towable building on a trailer chassis that gives a security officer a climate-controlled post at a gate or entry point. SentryPost guard shacks are insulated, air-conditioned and wired for 30 or 50 amp power, so a security company can tow one to a site, plug it in and staff it, then move it when the contract ends.
How much does a mobile guard shack cost?
SentryPost guard shacks start at $25,000 for the 5 x 5 ft Post 5, $29,900 for the 6 x 10 ft Post 6 and $34,900 for the 7 x 14 ft Post 7 Command. The Gate-Ready bundle, which adds a mini-split upgrade and your company decal, is $27,500, $32,500 and $37,900. Prices are per unit before freight and tax.
What sizes of guard booths do you sell?
Three standard sizes: 5 x 5 ft for a single officer, 6 x 10 ft as a classic guard post, and 7 x 14 ft as a supervisor or command post. A custom 8 x 14 command center is available by quote.
