Detailed information about MS Portable Cabin
MS Portable Cabin — Mild Steel Grade Structures
An MS portable cabin is a relocatable structure built on a mild steel frame — chosen specifically when the buyer needs structural durability beyond what a standard cabin delivers. If you have already decided that mild steel is your material requirement, this page covers the specification details, sizing options, and pricing you need to move forward.
What MS Grade Means in a Portable Cabin Structure
Mild steel (MS) is the structural backbone of MS portable cabin range. The frame uses 2–3 mm thick MS hollow sections, welded at load-bearing joints rather than bolted. The floor base uses MS channel sections rated for distributed loads up to 250 kg per square metre. Wall panels are fixed to the MS skeleton — options include GI sheet with PUF insulation, cement board, or colour-coated steel depending on the environment.
The result is a cabin that does not flex under load, does not deform under sustained outdoor exposure, and retains structural alignment through repeated relocation. This is the practical meaning of “MS grade” for a buyer placing a procurement order.
When MS Grade Is the Right Choice
MS fabrication is the correct specification when one or more of the following apply to your requirement:
- The cabin will be in use for more than 18 months without a break. MS frame maintains dimensional stability over long deployment periods where aluminium or light GI frames can develop joint looseness.
- The installation environment involves heavy equipment nearby — factories, manufacturing yards, industrial compounds, or logistics parks where vibration and load transfer through the ground are ongoing.
- The cabin will be relocated multiple times. MS welded frame handles crane-lifting and trailer transport better than lighter frame alternatives.
- You are procuring for an institution, school, or government project where material grade is specified in the purchase order and must be documented.
Standard Sizes and What to Specify When Ordering
MS portable cabins are available from 8×10 ft as the base unit. Common procurement sizes are 10×12 ft, 12×16 ft, 20×12 ft, and 40×20 ft. Custom dimensions are available within the factory’s fabrication range.
When placing an inquiry, specify the following to receive an accurate quote: external dimensions (L×W×H), frame thickness requirement (standard 2 mm or heavy-duty 3 mm), panel type, number of doors and windows, insulation grade, and floor finish. Electrical fitouts — wiring conduit, DB board, AC provision — can be included at the fabrication stage.
MS Portable Cabin Price and Lead Time
MS portable cabin pricing starts at Rs 2,10,000 for a standard 8×10 ft unit with 2 mm MS frame, GI sheet panels, one door, and two windows. Larger units and heavy-duty specs are quoted on request.
Lead time is 7–21 working days from order confirmation, depending on size and fitout. Factory is located in Bangalore with delivery available across South India and Greater Noida. For full size and pricing options across cabin types, see our portable cabin range.
FAQs About MS Portable Cabin
Q1. What thickness of mild steel is used in MS portable cabin frame?
Standard MS portable cabins use a 2 mm thick MS hollow section frame. Heavy-duty units for industrial or long-duration use are available with a 3 mm MS frame. Specify your requirement at the inquiry stage and we will confirm availability and price difference.
Q2. What does an MS portable cabin cost?
Pricing starts at Rs 2,10,000 for a standard 8×10 ft unit with 2 mm MS frame, GI sheet panels, one door, and two windows. Larger sizes, heavier frame specs, and additional fitouts are quoted individually.
Q3. Can you fabricate a custom-sized MS portable cabin?
Yes. Custom dimensions are available beyond the standard range. The most common custom sizes are 20×12 ft and 40×20 ft. Provide your required L×W×H at inquiry and our factory team will confirm feasibility and lead time within 24 hours.
Q4. How many times can an MS portable cabin be relocated without structural damage?
MS portable cabins are designed for a minimum of 8–10 relocations over their service life when crane-lifted and transported on a flatbed trailer. The welded MS frame maintains alignment through repeat moves, unlike bolted-frame alternatives that can loosen over multiple relocations.
