Traube Temporary Structure Services

Since its establishment in 1938 in the Midwestern U.S., Traube has grown to become the resource to turn to when the going gets tough.

Clients choose us for our variety of affordable, temporary structure services to manage growth, protect assets and operate competitively.

On-Site Experts:

Our site experts take the time to evaluate your job site and understand your needs and budget, serving as a think partner. By collaborating with you to design a solution that fits your site, timeline and budget limitations, our customized solutions provide proven alternatives to erecting a permanent structure. In addition, due to their portability, Traube’s soft- or hard-walled structures can be professionally installed in a minimal amount of time, without interrupting your business.

Project Management:

After creating a solution to fit your needs, we will assign a project manager to oversee and support your job site. The Traube team consists of more than 20 tenured site experts, project managers and skilled installers that are well known for their product and installation knowledge, on-time delivery and on-site professionalism. Our team serves as your on-site partner, providing the peace of mind clients appreciate. 

Rent/Lease:

For short-term jobs, or recurring jobs that require a building or tent to be constructed, moved or removed often, we have convenient rental options available, which include industrial-grade, prefabricated and portable storage structures. (See our products page.)

Renting is oftentimes more cost-efficient and provides clients with many other advantages. When you rent from us, you can trust Traube personnel to handle regulatory inspections, including fire inspections, code and permitting inspections, and all necessary communication with regulatory officials to ensure the structure meets proper standards.

Traube also provides care and maintenance of rented storage structures and will work with your team to understand the level of maintenance your job site requires.

Purchase:

For a longer-term job, we can also offer portable buildings and storage solutions for purchase. We work with a number of manufacturers that offer a variety of industrial-grade, prefabricated and portable storage structures, in a range of sizes and prices. Our experts work with you to identify the solution that best fits your needs and we leverage our longtime relationships with vendors to secure the best price.

Maintenance:

When purchasing a storage solution from Traube, a project manager can work with you to arrange for proper setup, maintenance and removal of the structure.

Structure Maintenance options:

• Installation and setup
• Removal
• Storage
• Cleaning and maintenance of the structure (while in use or after use)

Our headquarters in Columbia, IL, has the tools, washing facilities and storage areas to provide regular maintenance.
