Equipment Enclosures To Meet Your Company’s Unique Needs
Application, personnel, and location can all affect the final designs for your exterior building. Outdoor portable buildings can be modified according to your specifications for:
- Size and layout to accommodate a specific type of equipment or number of employees who will work in the building at one time.
- Functionality to ensure the equipment enclosures meets all your performance criteria. This includes door type, climate control, electric and more.
- Safety features like explosion proof electric and ballistic rated walls to ensure your personnel and equipment are kept safe.
- Exterior style to match surrounding buildings (i.e. Porta-King’s Faux Stone Finish).

Low Maintenance = High Performance
All Porta-King high quality products are built to stand the test of time, but this standard is especially important when designing and building portable buildings. Unlike in-plant buildings, these exterior buildings, like our motor control center enclosures, are solely responsible for protecting contents from outside forces.
Our bullet resistant walls and glazing are specially designed panels that protect your building from direct attack by providing different levels of NIJ and UL 752 ratings. For more information on these specializations, contact a Porta-King representative today.

Permanent Construction Quality with Portable Flexibility
Prefabricated structures are a long-term solution for practically any application. Of course, the term “portable buildings” implies that these structures can be easily moved as a unit. Therefore, every building you invest in can be repurposed in the future if your needs change.
In addition to your building’s reusability, portable buildings are prefabricated in a factory and then shipped to your site for immediate installation. This workflow reduces construction waste and downtime at your facility, offering a green alternative to traditional construction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of equipment enclosures do you manufacture?
We manufacture both outdoor and indoor equipment enclosures. Our outdoor equipment enclosures arrive pre-assembled and ready for use, either with floor structures to support new equipment or without floors for placement over existing equipment. For indoor applications, we offer modular panel and frame designs featuring sandwich panel composition that can address sound control, insulation, and personnel protection needs. These indoor equipment enclosures use heavy-duty framing with clear anodized or powder-coated white finish, and include an integrated chase for concealed electrical wiring.
Do equipment enclosures require permits?
While new equipment enclosures typically require permits, requirements vary by location. Equipment enclosures are built to national codes, but local jurisdictions, insurance providers, and fire marshals may have additional requirements. We can provide construction-related information to support your permitting process.
How are outdoor equipment enclosures installed?
Outdoor equipment enclosures ship on flatbed trucks for easy access with various lifting equipment. The installation method depends on the enclosure weight and installation location. Heavier equipment enclosures typically require crane installation, particularly for sites with adjacent obstacles that might impede placement.
How are indoor equipment enclosures installed?
Indoor equipment enclosures come with comprehensive installation instructions and clearly marked components, supported by detailed layout drawings and illustrated parts lists. While the modular design makes installation straightforward, we also offer access to third-party installation teams nationwide for those who prefer professional installation services.
What are the lead times for equipment enclosures?
Lead times vary by equipment enclosure type. Our outdoor Durasteel welded steel enclosures typically ship in three to four months, while Duraluminum versions ship in six to eight weeks. Indoor modular designs usually ship in four to six weeks. We can discuss your specific timeline requirements with your representative for possible accommodation.
