Top 10 Features for Your Mobile Office

‘Mobile Office’ is a loose term that is used to label a diverse range of vehicles that range from the luxurious reserved for executive usage to portable workstations used for commercial or corporate usage. Popular van chassis used include the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit and Daimler Freightliner as these provide an optimal and a large amount of space for passengers. Usages for mobile offices tend to vary from business to business, as some use these more as a productive shuttle or transport vehicle while others prefer to use as mobile marketing tool or as a hub to conduct certain business operations onsite, rather than from an explicit brick-and-mortar location. HQ Custom Design offers a number of different floor plans, colors / finishes, and available options to create a mobile office that is tailored  for your individual or business needs. Although, if you are looking for a place to start see our list of essentials below to see what features you should consider for your mobile office custom conversion.

1) Workstation Desk + Computer

Above all, mobile offices seek to establish a productive workspace on wheels as the inclusion of a proper  workstation is considered that of an essential. Each workstation can be outfitted with a monitor to be used with either a desktop computer underneath or connected via a video port to a laptop. HQ offers a number of different desk shapes / designs,, sizes and colors so feel free to let us know your ideas and we will put them fruition.

2) Rolling Office Chairs

For those longing for that true corporate feel, rolling office chairs are capable of being included as these provide a flexible and more maneuverable space for those operating out of the workstations. Such chairs are more familiar and are better for accomplishing work tasks, as your body is positioned upright instead of being planted firmly and sinked within a captain chair.

3) Overhead Cabinets

Although a majority of businesses operate digitally today, those that deal with more sensitive / confidential information rely upon the secure storage of paper documents. HQ provides a vast amount of different storage solutions ranging from overhead and side cabinets to cabinet drawers installed adjacent to workstations. Those in need of an extra layer of security can opt for these cabinets to include locks installed on them as well.

4) Wi-Fi Internet Connectivity

The Internet is how almost all businesses communicate among one another, store information / data, and how day-to-day tasks are handled. A dedicated Wi-Fi router for travel usage is a must for any firm that needs to maintain a constant connection to a central server or corporate headquarters, in order for all channels to be on the same page. For those operating out of one of the workstations, Wi-Fi  could be considered that of a must, although any passengers using a mobile device are sure to appreciate this addition as well.

5) Kitchenette with Refrigerator and Microwave

Providing a dedicated place to store microwavable meals and to chill beverages for passengers planning on traveling long distances. A kitchenette area features a number of appliance possibilities such as a mini fridge, microwave oven, coffee maker / Keurig machine / Nespresso machine,  and sink among other selections.

6) Rear Bathroom / Lavatory

Finding a place to go when on the road sometimes proves to be that of a challenge. Rather than locating the nearest pit stop, having a bathroom on board is a convenient alternative that allows passengers to answer nature’s call without need of causing travel delays to busy schedules.

7) Printer / Fax Machine

Printing out paper documents is a simple task that can be performed inside of your mobile office, as a printer / fax machine can be installed within the passenger cabin. Despite its vintage qualities, faxing documents is how numerous modern businesses / corporations still send over confidential data.

8) Partition Wall

To separate the driver and passenger cabins, a front partition wall is installed  to separate the office passenger cabin from the drivers cabin. This is vital for firms that do not want driver and co-pilot to overhear sensitive company information, although an intercom can be installed to allow for communication between the 2 cabins or a door for accessible access. 

9) USB / AC Outlets

Depending on the amount of passengers / workstations, there can be several USB / AC ports to charge mobile devices anywhere within the passenger cabin. Each dedicated comes with 2 USB sockets to avoid the need of a charging head, although 2 AC outlets are included within each as well.

10) TV Display

While a TV may be associated with leisure, however it is worth mentioning how within a mobile office the application of these devices can be for productive purposes when used a display for talking with colleagues on video conferences or showing presentations to potential customers via a streaming device that is able to mirror displays.
