Product Overview


Detachable Container Shelter for Emergencies serve as critical response tools during natural disasters (earthquakes, hurricanes, floods), humanitarian crises (refugee influxes, famine), or infrastructure failures (power outages, industrial accidents)—providing immediate housing, medical facilities, or command centers when traditional infrastructure is compromised. These rapidly deployable structures transform from compact 20ft containers (easy to ship globally via cargo ship or plane) into functional shelters in hours, supporting relief efforts in the world’s most challenging environments—from war-torn regions to disaster-stricken communities. Designed for durability (withstanding extreme weather) and ease of use (no specialized training needed), they have been used by organizations like the Red Cross and UNICEF to house over 1 million people since 2018.


Product Features


Ultra-Fast Deployment

Unfolds from shipping container to operational shelter in 2 hours with a 4-person team—no specialized tools required (only a hammer and wrench). The detachable frame (galvanized steel, 3mm thick) connects to standard container corners (ISO 1161 compliant) for stability, and the cover (610 gsm PVC, flame-retardant) is attached via hook-and-loop fasteners and bungee cords. Deployment steps are color-coded (red for frame, blue for cover) to simplify setup, even for untrained volunteers. For emergency situations (like post-earthquake rescues), a 2-person team can set up a basic shelter in 1 hour using the “rapid response” mode (prioritizing structural stability over full amenities).


Versatile Configuration Options

Available in 3 models, each with modular components that can be mixed and matched:

Medical Station: 400 sq ft, includes 2 exam tables (stainless steel, adjustable height), 3 storage cabinets (for medical supplies, lockable), and a sterilization area (with a small autoclave and hand-washing station). Equipped with LED task lighting (for procedures) and a backup generator (1kW, for medical equipment like oxygen concentrators).

Shelter Unit: 300 sq ft, sleeping space for 12 people with 6 privacy partitions (creating 6 2-person areas) and 12 bunk beds (metal, with thin mattresses). Includes 12 storage lockers (for personal items) and a small common area (with a table and 4 chairs).

Command Center: 350 sq ft, communications setup with 4 workstations (each with a desk and chair), a 43-inch monitor (for video conferences), and a radio system (compatible with emergency services frequencies). Includes a storage room (for maps, walkie-talkies, and first-aid kits).


Extreme Weather Resistance

Constructed with 610 gsm PVC cover (with a 10-year UV resistance warranty, tested to withstand 50,000 hours of sunlight) and galvanized steel frame (5mm thick, resistant to rust in humid conditions). The structure withstands wind speeds up to 70 mph (equivalent to a strong thunderstorm) and can support snow loads of 20 lbs/sq ft (enough for light snowfall). The cover is waterproof (waterproof rating of 10,000mm) and heat-resistant (reflecting 80% of sunlight, keeping interiors 10°C cooler than external temperatures in summer). In desert regions, an optional shade cloth (attached to the frame) further reduces heat absorption by 15%.


Hygienic & Safe Design

Fire-retardant materials meet NFPA 701 standards (self-extinguishing within 10 seconds of flame removal), and the PVC cover is treated with an anti-microbial coating (inhibiting bacteria and mold growth) to reduce infection risk in medical use. Easy-to-clean surfaces (the cover wipes down with disinfectant, and the frame is corrosion-resistant) make sanitization simple—critical in disease-prone areas like refugee camps. Ventilation systems (4 adjustable vents per shelter, with insect screens) prevent mold growth in humid conditions, exchanging 100% of indoor air every hour. Emergency exits (2 per shelter, with push-bar latches) comply with fire safety regulations, and reflective tape on doorways improves visibility at night.


Usage Scenarios


Post-Disaster Housing: Emergency shelter after earthquakes, hurricanes, or floods—after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, 1,000 units were deployed to house 12,000 survivors, with medical stations set up to treat injuries

Medical Response: Field hospitals or triage centers in disaster zones—during the COVID-19 pandemic, 500 units were used as temporary clinics in developing countries, providing testing and treatment to 100,000+ people

Refugee Camps: Temporary housing with basic amenities for displaced populations—UNHCR used 5,000 units in Syrian refugee camps in Jordan, with shelter units paired with water filtration stations

Wildfire Evacuations: Safe shelters for communities fleeing natural disasters—California used 200 units during the 2023 wildfire season, housing 2,400 evacuees with food distribution areas and child care spaces


FAQ


How is the shelter transported?

Fits in standard 20ft shipping containers (each shelter, when collapsed, occupies 100 sq ft of container space) for global transport. A single 40ft container can carry 4 collapsed units (2 medical stations + 2 shelter units), and a cargo plane (like a C-130) can transport 2 units per flight. For road transport, a single truck can carry 4 collapsed units to disaster zones—even on unpaved roads, as the collapsed units are compact and lightweight (each weighs 500kg).


What services does it require to operate?

Can function without utilities for 72 hours using battery-powered lighting (4 LED lanterns per shelter, lasting 12 hours on a charge) and portable generators (1kW, running on diesel or gasoline, powering medical equipment or communication devices). When utilities are available, it connects to external power (110V/220V), water (via a garden hose connection), and sewage (for medical stations, via a 3-inch pipe to a septic tank). For long-term use (2+ weeks), a solar panel kit (200W) can be added to power lighting and small devices.


How many medical stations can be deployed in a week?

A logistics team of 10 people (with 2 trucks and 1 crane) can transport and set up 20 units per week—each medical station takes 2 hours to set up, and the team can handle 4 units per day (8 hours of work). These 20 units can provide care for 500+ patients daily (assuming 25 patients per station, 20 hours of operation), with services including wound care, vaccinations, and basic diagnostics.


What is the lifespan after deployment?

Structures maintain integrity for 5+ years with minimal maintenance—monthly checks of the frame (tightening loose bolts) and cover (patching small tears with repair kits provided by the manufacturer). Replaceable covers (available for purchase separately) extend usability to 10 years—if the cover is damaged beyond repair, the frame can be reused with a new cover. After decommissioning, the steel frame is 100% recyclable, and the PVC cover can be recycled into plastic lumber.
