What do we need ready before a booth arrives?

A level, prepared spot sized to the booth, a power feed and conduit for any phone or data line. The drawing shows anchor and utility locations so your electrician and site contractor can finish their part before delivery. Clear access for the forklift or crane on setting day helps too.

Are the booths air-conditioned?

Yes. Every booth carries a through-the-wall or split HVAC unit sized for the space, which matters when the door opens every few minutes in a Florida summer. Insulated walls and roof hold the temperature between openings and keep paperwork and electronics dry.

What size guard booth do we need?

Count the people working inside at the busiest hour and list what they need: a counter, a monitor, a restroom, storage. One guard checking trucks fits a small booth; a gatehouse running two lanes with a restroom needs more. We recommend a size after reviewing the gate layout.

Can a booth be moved to another gate later?

Yes. Booths ship as one unit, so the same forklift or crane that set it can lift and move it when your yard layout or traffic pattern changes. You will need a new prepared spot and a power feed at the new location.

What Makes a Gate Booth Work

A gate booth is small, but it runs all day and all night. Distribution yards along I-4 and I-75 check trucks in around the clock, so the booth has to keep a guard comfortable through every shift, in every season.

In Tampa Bay that means real cooling and moisture control. The door opens every few minutes, the sun hits all four sides, and the air outside is hot and humid most of the year. Insulated walls and roof plus a properly sized HVAC unit are standard, not upgrades.

Booths are built and finished at the factory, then delivered as one unit and set with a forklift or crane. Counters, lighting, outlets and HVAC are already installed. At your gate, the work is a level, prepared base, a power feed and any data line you need.

Hurricane season is part of the conversation for any structure sitting outdoors. We talk through anchoring and placement for your yard during design.

Sizes run from a one-person booth to a guardhouse with room for several staff, a restroom and storage. Port-related yards often want a scale house or a booth glazed on every side so the guard can watch both lanes. Gates at the big Lakeland and Ruskin distribution centers tend to need the larger sizes.
