We aimed to create a unit that required less manual handling, was\nsafer to move around and that while used, was a more comfortable experience in\nall conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\nunit has many features including: ergonomically designed outer handles and\nfixed unit moveable steps for easier access and exit of the unit, LED lighting\nthroughout and both hot and cold running water is available throughout the unit\nfor more comfort and safer sanitising. The clean end compartment has better\nheating, more secure lockers and mask charging points. Fixed retractable\nseating and a fold-over table and can comfortably seat four people, and there\nis a separate WC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A\nmain feature of the electric DCU is that the unit has its own Technical room\nhousing all the main components such as the negative pressure unit, hot water\nboiler and central electrical systems.&nbsp;\nThis drastically reduces the need to remove the unit from site should\nany technical problems arise, keeping site operatives catered for and projects\nrunning to schedule.\n\nAs it runs purely\nfrom electric it is quieter and free from harmful fumes, so can be comfortably\nhoused indoors (should capacity allow) or in areas which noise needs to be at\nan absolute minimum.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The construction industry is a sector which is ever evolving and over recent years, there is the need for equipment to be sustainably run.
