BOSS Cabins has launched a new range of generator-free welfare units.
The patent-pending GenFree range is based on the company’s solar-powered rain-harvesting Deep Green range of mobile and static welfare cabins.
The manufacturer said the product has been enhanced with advanced solar-harvesting capacity in the form of an extendable solar array on the roof and additional damage-resistant solar panels on the front and side walls.
Boss Cabins MD James Kearsey said, “We are incredibly excited about this new launch. After 18 months collating data from the significant fleet of Deep Green cabins that are on use on sites all over the country and seeing the phenomenal results they were achieving, we saw the potential to extend the solar technology we were using and create a cabin that could power all its electrical operations 12 months of the year without the need to have a back-up generator on board at all.
“We’ve developed the concept using a 12ft unit as we knew this would be the hardest unit to make work with limited space for solar panels and a relatively high user count compared to its size. And we’ve tested it during the darkest winter months when least solar is available. In one of our biggest R&D investments ever, we built a fleet of 30 x GenFree test cabins which were deployed on key sites around the country with prestige Tier 1 companies.
“Although we knew in theory we were onto a winner, in real-life testing, we have been blown away by the results, with all cabins operating perfectly throughout the winter trial. Couple this with the fact even our standard Deep Green range ran for approx. nine months of 2022 with no generator runtime, and we are entirely confident in this game-changing generator-free leap forward in sustainable mobile welfare.”
The Deep Green GenFree range is available in both mobile and static format with cabins from 12ft up to 32ft in size.
Boss Cabins’ head of customer experience Sarah Butcher added, “This new generation of generator-free welfare has enormous implications for welfare users, owners and hirers alike. Welfare users will be able to enjoy a 100% silent welfare cabin experience on site with no generator noise at all ever. Plus local on-site emissions will be at a minimum – the only emissions produced are from the low-consumption HVO-fuelled heater which will only be used in the winter and only consumes 0.25 litres of fuel per hour.”
