"Thank you for the great service installing and fitting out our new contractor’s offices on our Astellas Project in Tralee. As usual your fitout team were very professional and nothing that I asked for was a problem to them. It’s a testament to your company that this is now the third project that I have used these units on having previously hired them from you for Bio Cork 2 in 2018 and then for our Pfizer RCMF project in 2021 and now our new project in Tralee. The service you provide and the quick response to any problems is what sets you ahead of your rivals and I look forward to working with you into the future."

""Last Year Recordati were looking to put in place a large canteen/kitchen as a modular unit. We spoke to several providers and settled on Masterkabin as they very quickly provided us with transparent pricing and a clear plan from start to finish. The communication during all aspects of the project was excellent; the plan was executed as requested ,on time and on budget and all of us here are delighted with the result. In short, Masterkabin were a pleasure to deal with.""

"I was impressed with your own courtesy, patience and willingness to offer advice at every stage of the process, and every member of your team with whom I came in contact was equally helpful and polite, so perhaps you could pass on my thanks to them also? Customer service is obviously very much part of Masterkabin's way of doing business. It was wonderful from our point of view that you adhered to agreed timelines and that you and your team have such a commitment to providing a quality product."

"I have been involved with Masterkabin on a number of school projects where there has been a need for additional classroom accommodation within a very short period of time.....On all the projects i have been involved in, I have found the construction and assembly process to be very well organised, particularly on the day of the off-loading and assembly of a modular building - it's almost a military-like operation.....While the whole process is quite fast, health and safety is not compromised in any way.....I have been known to contact Anthony with a last minute change.....Anthony has been able to facilitate what sometimes could be considered as a bit of an ask, so the tag line 'we can accommodate you' is certainly appropriate."
David Griffith
David GriffithCastle Bernard, Co. Cork
"This is but brief thanks: thanks for providing such ready help and with such genial civility in these testing days of general difficulty.....As time dragged on in the unhappy obstacle course that was the initial delivery ordeal, an element of doubt crept into my mind and at the very least I expected to find your men grumpy or resentful; but not a bit of it, for they were still full of disciplined sparkle at the end of proceedings, and performed an aerial ballet, first with the 'unit' and then, encore, with the trailer of the truck."
Matt Padwick
Matt PadwickCentre Manager of Dzogchen Beara. Tibetan Buddhist Retreat Centre
"Right from our first meeting to discuss our unique requirements and the challenges of the site I have felt like a valued customer, and value is what we received. This quality was consistent in all communications with the office staff and the attitude of the installation team and drivers."
Padraig O'Conaill
Padraig O'ConaillPrincipal, Cloghroe N.S.
"A critical element in any business transaction involving school accommodation is that of being able to adhere to agreed delivery dates. In that regard, the most significant aspect of our dealings with you has been your ability to honour your commitment on those delivery dates...I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending you and your company for your courtesy, effectiveness and reliability."
John Slattery
John SlatteryPrincipal, Corville National School
"I was very impressed by the way the work was handled by your company, in particular with the accommodation which had to be of an extremely high standard and specification. They definitely met the standard and i would certainly have no hesitation in recommending your company to other schools."
Patrick Leonard
Patrick LeonardChairperson, Board of Management, Lisheen National School
"From our initial contact with your company we have had efficient, polite and friendly service from top management all the way through to sales and construction staff...The service you provided from the sales staff listening and understanding what we were trying to do, the administration of actually planning the location and timing of supplying the building, and finally the most efficient erection and completing the serviceability of the facility has been more than a pleasant experience."

Jackleg Cabin FAQs

A jackleg cabin is a portable building supported by steel legs, allowing installation on uneven or hard surfaces without permanent foundations.

Yes, we provide jackleg cabin hire and purchase options with nationwide delivery.

Yes, layouts, finishes and internal features can be fully tailored.

Yes, general maintenance is included while your portable cabin is on hire.

We regularly carry stock of high-quality used jackleg units.

A Jackleg unit is the simplest transportable answer to your accommodation needs. The steel jacklegs allow the unit to be placed onto almost any hard surface, and easily craned in or out of position.

The jackleg series ranges from 4′ x 4′ to 48′ x 12′, and can also be manufactured to fit any individual requirements.

Check out our size guide by clicking here:

The jackleg series can be fitted out for any function – security, office, canteen, toilet/shower, lab, studio whatever your need….

Jackleg units are mainly standard built but can be designed to accommodate every specific need.  Kabins can be joined together by means of a link corridor and also stacked on top of each other to reduce the footprint if space on site is limited.   This allows the customer the opportunity to expand to suit his or her needs.

Clients can talk to our sales and design team who will work from a basic hand sketch through to a detailed AutoCAD layout, thereby developing a specific customized design.

Using 3D design, Masterkabin can show the client exactly what the finished product will look like.

We carry large stocks of new and good quality used jackleg buildings and we have a range of buildings available from our extensive rental fleet.

Each unit has a plastic coated internal wall which is impact resistant and maintenance free. Electrical sockets, lights and heaters come as standard (quantity dependent on size of unit) and there is vinyl floor covering throughout. As with all our products, these units can be customised and built with additional features and your preferred layout.

Extras can include:

  • Higher level of insulation in walls, floors & ceilings
  • Double glazed PVC windows in a choice of colours and opening options
  • Additional electrical sockets
  • Data & Telephone connections
  • Different heating options, oil filled radiators, storage heaters etc
  • Internal walls in pre finished plasterboard
  • Toilets, wash hand basins and showers
  • Hard wearing vinyl or contract carpet
  • Pitched internal ceiling.
  • And many more….

Jackleg units are finished internally to a very high standard.

Our sales team would be pleased to discuss these options with you.

 

The external finish of the jackleg unit is as versatile as the kabin itself.

By simply choosing a different colour of plastisol steel, you can completely change the face of the kabin. With cedar cladding or render, a client can dramatically alter the external appearance of their own individual unit.  An ‘A’ Roof or Nordman Roof Tile effect can further add to the desirability of a Jackleg unit.

Extras can include:

  • Pitch roof design complete with sky lights or roof tile effects.
  • Choice of external colour combinations to match corporate colours or surroundings.
  • Cedar Cladding external finish
  • Profile Cladding external finish
  • Render external wall finish
  • uPVC rain water systems in a choice of colours
  • External Lighting
