For urgent requirements, expedited delivery options may be available depending on our current inventory and your location. Please note that rush shipping may incur additional costs.

Installation:

To fully understand the delivery and installation process, as well as any associated costs, it’s crucial to consult with JCT 5 on the following aspects:

  • Delivery Costs: Are these calculated based on the distance from the supplier, the width of the trailer, or other factors?
  • Setup Fees: Are these influenced by soil conditions or the size of the trailer?
  • Utilities: Is there an additional fee for setting up electrical and plumbing connections?

Removal:

Before your lease term concludes, it’s important to clarify responsibilities for the removal process. Make sure to ask JCT 5 about:

  • Unblocking: Who is responsible for this?
  • Anchor Removal: Is this your responsibility or JCT 5’s?
  • Skirt Removal: Who will handle this?
  • Return Shipping: Will you need to cover the cost of shipping the unit back to JCT 5?

All of these factors may be included in the total price or may come as additional charges. It’s best to consult with JCT 5 to get a comprehensive understanding of all costs involved.

Do I need insurance coverage for my JCT 5 mobile office trailer?

Damage and Liability:

JCT 5 offers various insurance options for rental trailers, which may include coverage against third-party claims for property damage and bodily injury.

We also provide the option of a damage waiver that covers damages to the rental unit beyond a specified minimum amount.

It’s essential to discuss these options with JCT 5 to understand what is included and what isn’t.

Alternatively, you can consult your own insurance provider to explore additional coverage options tailored to your needs.

Theft Prevention:

Unoccupied mobile office trailers can be vulnerable to theft, both during the day and night. To enhance security:

  • Invest in high-quality locks; JCT 5 offers advanced locking mechanisms at an additional cost.
  • Limit access to keys or lock codes to trusted individuals only.
  • Consider installing metal bars on windows for added security.

Many businesses use their mobile trailers to store valuable equipment and supplies. Theft of these items can result in significant financial loss and operational delays. Therefore, it’s advisable to check for insurance options that cover theft, especially if your trailer is located in an area where theft is a concern.

Note: According to UK law, it’s crucial to have at least a basic level of liability insurance to cover potential damages or injuries that could occur on your premises. Make sure to consult with legal and insurance experts to ensure that your coverage meets all UK legal requirements.
