Shipping & Receiving
For the purpose of inventory control and security, plant and facility operators typically examine all trucks coming onto the plant or facility.

In the same way, outbound shipments can be processed. This type of security booth is often called an “operator shelter“, “operator booth” or “inspection booth”.

Along with standard windows offering wide 360 degree visibility, and being portable, a welded steel security booth can be placed almost anywhere.

Safety & Control of bulk material handling
For the purpose of safety and security, a security booth is often utilized to monitor and control bulk material handling.

Additionally, a security booth can be positioned in an inspection location to review loading operations to comply with safety regulations. This type of security booth is often called a “scale house”, “environmental shelter”, “operator shelter”, “operator booth”, “operator booth”, “control booth“, “control pulpit”, “dredge cab”, “loading rack booth”, “dock control office “, etc..
