Special-purpose sheltersTechnical pages
Mobility and transport
A shelter that cannot move is a building. Every Tanax shelter carries ISO 1496 corners and moves by truck, hooklift, rail or sling; air-transportable sizes and expandable shelters are engineered on request.
ISO 1496 corners and CSC
The shelter stands on ISO 1496 corners with CSC, so it travels as a container on any truck, trailer, wagon or ship that carries one.
Hooklift flatracks
On a hooklift flatrack to STANAG 2413 and DIN 30722 the shelter is lifted and set down by the truck itself, without a crane. The flatrack is the carrier; the shelter is the load.
Rail and sling
Rail transport on the ISO corners, and sling points for a crane or a helicopter where the programme calls for them.
Air-transportable and expandable
Air-transportable sizes are engineered on request to the aircraft the programme names. Expandable shelters open on site to a floor area larger than the transport envelope.

Questions procurement asks
Does the shielding survive transport?
The shield is a welded layer of the shelter, not a lining, and the point of entry is the only crossing. The shelter is measured as built; the programme decides whether it is measured again after deployment.
Does the camp family travel the same way?
Yes. The ten mobile container units are ISO 20 ft units on their own corners, moved the same way.
Send the requirement. The shelter is engineered to it and measured against it.
Frequency range and attenuation, TEMPEST level and zone, protection level, climate and carrier: name them and the engineering starts. The specification sheet comes with the reply.

Technical pages of this solution
- Military CommandSpecial-purpose shelters to NATO standards, built by a defence manufacturer that also builds and services military trucks.
- EMC and EMP shieldingA shielded shelter is only as good as its weakest aperture. The chain below is read the way a programme engineer reads it: the enclosure, every aperture, the point of entry, the grounding, and the measurement that proves it.
- TEMPESTTEMPEST is the discipline of keeping an emission inside. The shelter contributes the shielded volume, the separation and the filtered services; the level and the accreditation belong to the programme and its national security authority.
- CBRN collective protectionCollective protection keeps the inside clean while the outside is not: a filtered overpressure, an airlock to pass through and seals that hold.
- Ballistic and blastArmour is a level the customer names and a laboratory verifies. Tanax brings the armoured truck cab work: the panels, the liners and the doors that take a round or a blast.
- Environment and signatureThe shelter is engineered for the climate it is sent to and for how little of it should be seen: in daylight, in infrared and at night.
- Armoury containersA weapon store is a security cage first and a container second. Tanax has engineered one from a written specification before; this page is the build.
