Elevate your event with our multi purpose mobile units 

From ‘intimate gatherings’ to ‘road races covering hundreds of miles’, our commentary units are versatile enough to accommodate events of any size. Whether you need a single unit or a network of units for multiple commentators, we have you covered.


Delivered to your site by our experienced team, our versatile single and double decker units have a multitude of uses. Most commonly they are seen at sporting events across the country, as commentary units, judges’ boxes, event control, racing starts, etc. They have also acted as mobile offices at marathons and firework festivals, triage units at GP surgeries, commentary units at airshows, control units at festivals, security points at demonstrations, and projection units for major light installations.


We understand that every event is unique, which is why we offer customisation options to suit your specific needs. Whether you need custom branding, a power source, or specialised configurations, our team is here to help bring your vision to life.

Sizes, features and internal layouts vary – see the table below for more information along with spec sheets for each unit – so talk to us and let us help you take your event to the next level!

New legal responsibility for 2025 – Martyn’s Law

2025 brings in new legal responsibilities for all events.  It is important to handle situations quickly, where different teams can cooperate effectively. We know them as Joint Control Units (JCRs), Mobile Control Rooms and Portable Command Centres.

Show Hire supplies units and equipment for just this purpose, for organisers and emergency service teams at events such as Notting Hill Carnival, Chelsea Flower Show, Battersea Fireworks and Brighton Half Marathon.

These units allow you to monitor activities, manage operations, and respond to issues efficiently.

We can deploy them quickly, either set up with radio, high speed internet and power, to get you off to a quick start, or empty ready for your own equipment.
