Mariusz Kuklinski: 8:32pm Jul 29, 2006: Come on, jakie jest wyposażenie portacabin a jakie barakowozu. Portacabin wobec barakowozu to niemal czterogwiazdkowy hotel
Mariusz Kuklinski: 8:34pm Jul 29, 2006: A poza tym, te biura na budowie to są umieszczane w kontenerach

Portacabin

Explanation:
Oxford-PWN

However, in (Br.) usage, this is moat often a pprtable office found on, for example, construction sites, at crime scenes and scenes of catastrophe. Perhaps the context here means that people are living in portable offices?

If, however, they are similar in design, but intended for residential purposes, then in Br. E. - 'mobile home' and in Am. E., as you've already noted - 'trailer'.
