The newest Expandable ISO Shelter is a 20-foot ISO-style shelter that provides for rapid deployment and expansion. Our new and improved approach for this shelter design allows for faster deployment, with fewer moving parts. This Expandable Shelter provides the added floor space needed for command, Control and Communications systems needs. When expanded, the One-Side Expandable ISO Shelter (1:2) provides almost 25 square meters of operational floor space. When closed, the shelter meets the dimensional requirements of ISO 668 and ANSI MH5.4 allowing for transport using all common intermodal transport methods. The expandable section nests inside the main 20-foot ISO section during transport. The floor panel of the expandable section is hinged longitudinally, allowing the floor section to fold in half when the shelter is closed for transport.
