Rooms to go

Fully assembled building units are highly adaptable to inplant environments where work space reconfiguration is a common occurrence. Delivered as stand-alone units or in components for immediate erection, units can be moved by a forklift to a site, plugged into an electrical source, and be ready for use in minutes. Later, they can be disconnected, moved, and reinstalled just as easily. Porta-King Building Systems portaking.com Write 321 on PE card
