Portal frame buildings for logistics & transport
Portable Building Sales provides steel portal frame buildings designed to support the fast-moving needs of logistics and transport businesses. Whether you need overflow warehousing, secure vehicle storage, a distribution hub or a temporary depot, our buildings offer a rapid, flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional warehouse construction.
Available for hire or purchase, our portal frame buildings are ideal for logistics operators who need reliable space without the time, cost and permanence of a traditional build.
Using our online configurator, you can design your logistics building in minutes, selecting your size, layout, doors and cladding, and receive a fast, no-obligation quote.
Portal frame buildings are wide-span steel structures that provide open, column-free internal space, making them ideal for logistics and transport operations that require clear movement, loading and storage.
They are particularly suited to:
- Overflow warehousing
- Temporary distribution depots
- Vehicle storage and fleet hubs
- Loading and dispatch areas
- Cross-docking operations
- Last-mile delivery bases
- Equipment storage for haulage firms
- Contract logistics sites
Unlike traditional warehouses, our portal frame buildings can be installed quickly, reconfigured if needed and extended as demand grows.
These buildings are not designed to replace massive national distribution centres, instead, they provide practical, scalable space for regional depots, local hubs and growing logistics businesses.
