Rapid Erect Military Hangar
Rapid Erect Hangars (REH) have been supplied to several military forces from the UK to the Middle East.
Rubb has over 30 years' experience in manufacturing, supplying and building aircraft hangars for military use. Speed of erection and low costs are attractive benefits, and given their military applications, the ability to relocate anywhere in the world is of great importance.
Used as field shelters for fixed wing military aircraft, Rubb Military Rapid Erect Hangars have endured the harshest environments on earth. The compact size, rapid deployability and portability of these hangars makes them ideal for rigorous military use.
The Rubb Military Rapid Erect Hangar consists of a steel truss and is made in two standard sizes:
- 76.1' (23.2m) wide x 118.1' (36m) long with 7m side wall
- 59' (18m) wide x 65.6' (20m) long with 7m side wall
The Rapid Erect Hangar has two unique characteristics:
First, it can be erected without the use of a crane. Special levered joints and pulley / winch systems allow the structure to be erected on the ground and then lifted into the upright position.
Second, by removing two roof sections, the hangar is reduced from 76.1' (23.2m) width to 59' (18m) width. This gives maximum operational flexibility and allows users to protect a wide variety of aircraft with the same structure.
The Rapid Erect Hangar can accommodate fixed wing fighter aircraft and twin rotor helicopters. These structures are extensively used by the Royal Air Force in the UK.
