Not all research happens in a traditional lab. Whether conducting environmental studies in Scandinavia, food safety testing in France, or pharmaceutical research in Germany, a mobile and fully equipped workspace is essential. Expandable’s laboratory trailer offers a flexible, expandable base for scientists, medical professionals, and industrial experts who need a controlled and reliable lab anywhere in Europe. Designed for cross-border mobility, this portable laboratory trailer meets EU safety and quality regulations, making it a trusted solution for research, healthcare, and industry.
A laboratory trailer that expands in minutes
Efficiency is key when working in the field. The Expandable laboratory trailer is ready to use in just 15 minutes thanks to hydraulic sidewalls that nearly double the interior space. With an entry height of just 24 cm, the trailer is easy to access for all users, while insulated walls and optional air conditioning or heating ensure consistent working conditions, whether operating in the heat of Southern Europe or the colder climates of Scandinavia. The sturdy flooring supports heavy laboratory equipment, from centrifuges and biosafety cabinets to fume hoods and precision testing instruments.
A mobile laboratory built for European applications
With a modular and transport-friendly design, the laboratory trailer is widely used across Europe’s key research and industrial sectors:
- Medical testing and diagnostics: Supports on-site disease control, clinical trials, and pharmaceutical research in compliance with European health and safety regulations.
- Environmental science and sustainability: Facilitates air, water, and soil quality testing, ideal for EU-funded research projects, government agencies, and conservation organizations.
- Food safety and quality control: Provides on-site product analysis and hygiene monitoring for agriculture, dairy, and food processing industries.
- Industrial research and development: Enables material testing and product safety evaluations for automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries.
