Truck gates near the Joliet and Elwood intermodal yards, along I-55, and around O'Hare cargo see heavy traffic all day, and the booth has to keep up with it. Call (888) 697-6368: (888) 697-6368 ## Guard Booths for High-Traffic Truck Gates Few regions move as much freight by truck and rail as this one. Six Class I railroads meet here, and the yards around BNSF Logistics Park Chicago and the Union Pacific Joliet Intermodal Terminal feed a steady line of trucks into nearby warehouses. At those gates, check-in speed is money. A prefab booth is built and finished in the factory, then delivered in one piece. It is set with a forklift or crane and connected to power before entering service. Sizes range from a one-person 4x6 booth to a guardhouse with a restroom and storage. Your guard spends a full shift in there through Chicago winters. We spec insulated walls and roof, an HVAC unit, and added heat, because the door or service window opens every few minutes when trucks are lined up. Glass on all sides keeps sight lines to both lanes, and sliding service windows let drivers hand over paperwork without the guard stepping out. Bullet-resistant panels and glass are available where a site needs them. We set booths for distribution sites in Joliet (https://chicagomodularoffices.com/service-area/joliet) and Bolingbrook (https://chicagomodularoffices.com/service-area/bolingbrook), and for air cargo forwarders in Bensenville (https://chicagomodularoffices.com/service-area/bensenville).
