BIG DEMAND FOR THE BIGGEST BIG SPACE VIEW BS24 BROCHURE
p
‘At first, I wasn’t sure there was a market for it’ admits Matthew Wordsworth, Director of Boss Cabins Ltd. ‘We wanted to bridge the gap between mobile and static welfare units but when we talked to customers they were sceptical because there’s no comparative product out there.’
“ BOSS CABINS ARE WORKING HARD TO DEVELOP PRODUCTS WITH REAL ADVANTAGES TO THE END USER.” —
Steve Reece, Reecer Space.
It was when Matthew talked to managers of large construction projects that the demand for the Big Space 24 became apparent. ‘On one site low slung tree branches prevented access for a static but the Big Space 24 could simply be towed under them’ he explains. ‘On the Falkland Islands, the Highways Agency are using a Big Space 24 on their infrastructure road programme. The ability to move the unit simply
and quickly with their own vehicle every few weeks as the works progress is saving them considerable time and money compared with moving a static.’ ‘Boss Cabins are working hard to develop products with real advantages to the end user’ says Steve Reece of Reecer Space. ‘I too was unconvinced about a need for a 24’ mobile unit but when I actually saw it I realised its potential and now have four in my fleet and I'm thinking of more.’ There’s already a precedent of engineering market changing innovations. Duncan Wordsworth, Chairman of Boss Cabins, is renowned for launching the Barford SK10 10 tonne site dumper that increased the size of dumpers to set a very popular new industry standard. And, amongst other game-changing innovations, creating the Performance Chassis for the Fruehauf bulk tipper trailers, significantly increasing their payload. ‘The most popular layout is a 12 man canteen with 3 man office’ says Matthew ‘but there are three other standard layouts, including a sleeper option developed in direct response to requests from event hirers. Bespoke layouts are also available and users should talk to us - we're always open to suggestions.’ But really, how easy can a 24’ unit be to tow? With a twin axle chassis and only the same height and

breadth as a standard mobile unit, the answer is ‘very’. It’s simple to manoeuvre round tight corners in towns behind normal pickups and handles just as well on a motorway.
“ THEY’RE WILLING TO LISTEN TO CUSTOMERS AND THINK CREATIVELY ABOUT CHANGES ” —
Steve Reece, Reecer Space.
Low long-term maintenance costs are designedin, which is especially important in the longer term hires this unit is in demand for. RedBox generators with 800 hour service intervals are standard. Boss Shadow telemetry gives owners efficiencyenhancing diagnostics and remote control and Power-on-demand can significantly reduce running costs. ‘What Boss Cabins are doing right’ says Steve Reece ‘is they’re willing to listen to customers and think creatively about changes which genuinely help the end user’. The Big Space 24 is clearly making a very big space for itself in the market.

BUILD IN LOWER RUNNING COSTS WITH REDBOX, BOSS SHADOW AND POWER-ON-DEMAND
LESS SERVICING ‘Servicing a generator takes time and money and we don’t want you to waste either’ says Graham Stansfield. ‘You can save both using RedBox.’
Hatz are confident the RedBox generator can run even longer between services. Comprehensive testing continues and confirmation will be available by the Plantworx Show. As with all previous extensions, any further extensions will be retrospectively applied to all units sold to date.
Since launching in 2014, RedBox Power has continued developing and testing in Germany in conjunction with Hatz. It now offers the longest service hour intervals in the market – a massive 800 hours. This alone offers considerable cost savings over the standard 250 hour interval of other brands.
Assuming a unit is used Monday to Friday 8 hours per day as canteen/rest area on site, RedBox can save you £1500 per year in service costs, as follows:

POWER-ONDEMAND IS TO BE INSTALLED ON ALL BOSS CABINS HYBRID WELFARE UNITS FROM APRIL 1ST 2015 FREE OF CHARGE.
Because RedBox is designed for easy access — the whole engine slides out and oil and air filters are strategically placed for instant checks — engineers take less time onsite completing each service check.
ALWAYS KNOW WHERE IT IS AND WHAT ITS DOING Boss Shadow telemetry system maps the precise location of each unit and provides owners with full diagnostics information remotely. This means efficient service runs can be planned in advance and travel times minimised, again saving costs. ‘We put a lot of mobile welfare units into very remote locations’ says Dan Wharton of LOC Hire in Scotland. ‘We might not see a unit for months but with Boss Shadow we know where it is and what the generator is doing at all times. Sometimes I can read a fault and book a service call for the user before they’ve even contacted me.’ ‘With such long service intervals’ adds Dan ‘I have added peace of mind that when extreme weather prevents us servicing units on outlying islands, the users can run them for an incredible 800 hours without invalidating the generator warranty.’ 'The generator can also be remotely isolated at the end of hires, allowing me to remotely control
'on and off' periods for customers without the need to remove units from their sites.'
USE IT ONLY WHEN YOU NEED IT Power-on-demand is fitted as standard on hybrid models and optional on all others. It automatically switches on the generator whenever an appliance or other demand for power is switched on, and turns it off after use. This can significantly reduce daily run time on a generator, reduce fuel consumption / CO2 emissions, lengthen the time between services and save even more money.
“ WITH BOSS SHADOW WE KNOW WHERE IT IS AND WHAT THE GENERATOR IS DOING AT ALL TIMES.” — Dan Wharton, LOC Hire.
