Clear view of in-plant operations With standard windows providing 360 degree visibility, and being portable, a welded steel booth can be located almost anywhere. As such, guard booth in-plant applications allow production and quality control supervisors to remain in temperature controlled office while maintaining a clear view of their in-plant operations. This type of security booth is often called “in plant office”, “inplant office”, “modular inplant office”, “prefab office”, “control room” or a “supervisor booth”.

Shipping & Receiving

For inventory control as well as security reasons, plant and facility operators generally check all trucks coming onto the facility. Placing a security booth at the entry point for deliveries allows your security officers to collect the necessary information and inspect the materials in or on the truck. Likewise, outbound shipments can be processed. This type of guard booth is often called an “operator booth”, “operator shelter” or “inspection booth”.

Approval of documents and ID

A guard booth serves as a check-in and check-out point; security personnel can verify identification, review printed documentation about shipments and deliveries and deter unwanted visitors. This type of security booth is often called a “checkpoint booth”.

Control and direct visitor vehicle traffic

Stationing a security booth at the entrance/exit of the facility allows gate guards to control traffic to and from buildings and grounds: the security personnel typically operate a gate to allow entrance or exit of employees, truckers, authorized visitors, and their vehicles. Information and directions are often provided to first time visitors. This type of guard booth is often called a “traffic control booth”.

Safety and control of bulk material handling

For safety and security purposes, a guard booth is often used to monitor and control bulk material handling. For instance, the security officer will check scale weight tickets to assure proper billing to customer for loaded trucks leaving the facility. Additionally, a guard booth can be positioned in an overwatch location to oversee loading operations to comply with safety regulations. This type of guard booth is often called a “control booth”, “operator shelter”, “operator booth”, “control pulpit”, “loading rack booth”, “dredge cab”, “dock control office “, “scale house”, “environmental shelter”, etc..
