A family-run West Cork firm supplying cabins, containers and modular buildings to Ireland's biggest pharma, construction and public-sector names.
Hayes Cabin Services is a family-run business based in Castlefreke, Clonakilty, Co. Cork. Established in 1974, we’ve spent more than fifty years supplying portable cabins, containers and modular buildings across Ireland: first to the farms and building sites of West Cork, today to some of the country’s largest pharmaceutical plants and construction programmes.
The model hasn’t changed in five decades: own the stock, own the trucks, stand over the work. More than 500 customers and contract values exceeding €75 million later, it still holds.
Our units stand on pharmaceutical campuses, public infrastructure projects and major construction sites nationwide: for clients including the HSE, Eli Lilly, Pfizer, MSD, AbbVie, Merck, ESB, Irish Water, Cork County Council, Dornan and Jones Engineering. Sectors where a cabin isn’t a shed. It’s audited workspace that has to pass the same standards as the building beside it.
Everything we sell and hire travels on our own fleet of Scania crane trucks and powersteer trailers, driven by our own drivers. No third-party hauliers, no hired-in cranes. The lift is planned in West Cork and executed by the people responsible for the whole job. Meet the fleet →

Yes. Every Hayes Cabin Services unit is delivered nationwide from our base in West Cork. The truck-mounted cranes in our fleet lift the unit off the truck and position it exactly where you need it on-site, so no separate crane is required. RAMS documentation is provided in advance for every delivery as standard.
Most deliveries are scheduled within 48–72 hours of order confirmation, subject to stock and route. For specialist modifications or bespoke builds the lead time is longer. We’ll confirm a firm date in writing before invoice.
Most units in the range are available for sale or hire. Hire works on weekly or monthly rates with delivery and collection included; sale is a one-off purchase. Long-term projects under roughly 18 months usually work out cheaper on hire. We’re happy to price both options side-by-side.
Yes: Risk Assessment and Method Statement documents are issued in advance of every delivery, covering the lift, the site approach, and our banksman’s role. We can route paperwork through your procurement system if required (PDF, portal upload, or signed hard copy on arrival).
Yes. Hayes Cabin Services Ltd is VAT-registered and works to standard account terms for established clients. We invoice against your PO number and supply unit-level reference codes for asset registers. Tier-one clients including Pfizer, HSE, MSD, AbbVie, ESB and Cork County Council are billed on this basis.
Most quotes confirmed within the hour, most units on site within the week.
