Sleep easy with Kabco
Kabco Products has developed a mobile ‘sleep over’ cabin offering the facilities of its existing mobile welfare units, with the addition of two beds and a shower. An automatic X-Gen power module is designed to ensure that the generator, which runs at 68db, is only used in order to charge the on-board battery bank and to operate heavy load appliances such as a kettle. Being automatic, an operator only needs to switch on such an item and the generator will run for ten minutes, providing the necessary power before turning off. The battery bank can also send a signal to the generator when charging is required, so that constant power is available in the cabin. Heating is provided by a diesel heater which will run for two hours before turning itself
off, preventing it being left on inadvertently, as well as reducing carbon emissions and noise. The cabin incorporates an air suspension system that allows the structure to be lowered to the floor for security, as well increasing the ride height of the trailer so that it can be towed off road using a suitable vehicle. The rear of the cabin provides seating for four people, along with storage facilities, table, sink, microwave, kettle, cool box and an opening window. Access to the generator, running gear and air suspension is from outside the cabin via secure service hatches.

CRH develops green solution
CRH Plant (Cotswold Roller Hire) has for several years supplied mobile welfare units to the rail and construction industries, with GenQuip’s 360 Groundhog featuring prominently in its fleet. The hirer says that, with interest increasing in finding more environmentally friendly alternatives to continuously running petrol and diesel generator powered models, it has developed a 12V control system to use with the units. The system has an auto-start facility which starts the generator on demand to provide power for a kettle and a microwave, as well as charging the on-board battery. The 12V system powers low consumption LED lighting via passive infrared (PIR) controls, with the diesel generator running the heating and hot water system.
