03

Use it. Then we collect

Servicing and waste handled through the hire. Job done? One message and we take it away. No exit fees, no small print, no arguing about it.

WHY BOXD

Built for site managers,
not procurement decks

Ecosmart power, lean running

Ecosmart power management runs the generator only when it has to. Lower fuel bills, less noise, and a carbon line your client will actually like.

HSE welfare compliant

Toilet, hot water, somewhere to eat and dry off. Everything the regs ask for, in one box. One hire ticks the welfare requirement on your site file.

Fixed weekly pricing

The price we quote is the price you pay. Delivery, servicing and collection agreed up front. No surprise charges buried on the final invoice.

Local, and quick with it

Order today, on site tomorrow across most of the North East. Breakdown or problem? A local team turns up, not a national call centre queue.

SUSTAINABILITY

Lean by design

No greenwash, just how the kit and the operation are set up to waste less. If your client wants the environmental line for a tender, this is it.

01 Power only when needed

Ecosmart management starts the generator when there's demand and shuts it down when there isn't. Less fuel burned, less noise on site, and lower running emissions than a generator left idling all day.

02 Short miles, on purpose

We're North East based and North East only. Short delivery runs from Durham and shared servicing routes mean fewer transport miles per hire than kit trucked up from a national depot.

03 Built to be hired again

High strength composite panels take years of site abuse. A unit that goes out hire after hire beats kit that gets battered, scrapped and replaced, the most sustainable box is the one that lasts.

04 Waste handled properly

Sealed tanks, serviced by us, with waste removed and disposed of under the applicable waste regulations. Nothing to ground, nothing left for the site to deal with.

FAQ

Straight answers

How much does welfare unit hire cost?
Pricing is a fixed weekly rate set by the unit and your site postcode, with delivery, servicing and collection agreed up front. The price we send is the price you pay. Quotes back the same working day.
How quickly can you deliver a welfare unit in the North East?
Next working day across most of the North East, including Durham, Newcastle, Sunderland, Gateshead and Teesside. Order before midday and we can often get you delivered the following morning.
What is included in a welfare unit hire?
Chemical toilet, canteen area with hot water, drying space and power from the Ecosmart-managed onboard generator. Delivery, setup, servicing and collection are all in the weekly price. No add-ons appearing later.
Do welfare units need mains power or water?
No. Every BOXD unit is fully self-contained. An efficient onboard generator with Ecosmart power management handles power, onboard tanks handle water and waste. Drop it on bare ground and it works.
Is there a minimum hire period?
Hire is weekly with no long minimum term. Two weeks or two years, you pay a fixed weekly rate and we collect when you're done. That's it.
Do your welfare units meet HSE requirements?
Yes. Toilet, hot water, somewhere to eat, somewhere to dry off. That covers the welfare provisions required under CDM 2015 and HSE construction guidance. One hire ticks the box on your site file.
Do I need to insure the welfare unit?
Yes. Risk in the unit passes to you on delivery, so you insure it for its full replacement value against theft and damage for the hire period. Most contractors' plant and hired-in equipment policies cover this as standard, but check with your broker before delivery. Full detail is in our terms of hire.
What do I need to arrange before delivery?
Safe access for a HIAB wagon: room to stand and lift, firm level ground where the unit will sit, and a check for overhead and underground services at the spot. Any permits or road closures your site needs are yours to arrange. Flag anything awkward at enquiry stage, because an aborted delivery caused by access we weren't told about is chargeable.
Who does the risk assessments?
Both of us. We supply generic risk assessment information and user instructions for the unit itself, summarised on our risk assessments page and issued in full at handover. The site-specific risk assessment stays your legal responsibility: siting, access routes, fire arrangements and how the unit fits your site's other activities.
Can I move the unit myself?
Every unit in the fleet is towable, so yes: provided the towing vehicle and driver licence are lawful for the unit's weight and you follow the pre-tow checks in the handover pack: hitch, breakaway, lights, tyres, steadies up, nobody inside. If a unit needs relocating and towing isn't an option, ask and we'll move it properly.
Can I get wifi in the unit?
Yes. Any unit can be upgraded with Starlink satellite wifi for a small weekly add-on: high-speed internet powered by the unit itself, working on sites with no phone signal and no mains. Tick the Starlink box on the quote form and it comes back priced with your hire.
