Rubb Shelter Type - RES

Deployable Military Aircraft Hangars, Air Transport Shelter

RES type fabric shelter

The RES range of aircraft hangars are specifically designed for rapid deployment on military applications in extremely arduous conditions in both cold heavy snow load and hot dusty climates and are configured to pack into purpose designed 20ft ISO containers suitable for air transportation.

The hangars have been specifically designed to comply with a very stringent military compliance matrix for the Royal Air Force.

The specification stipulates a wide temperature range, wind and snow loads but with specific weight and member size constraints to allow the complete hangar to fit into 20ft containers.

The 20.4m span packs into one 20ft container with a combined all up weight of 11.47t/25700lts (including containers).

The 25m span hangar packs into two 20ft containers with a combined all up weight of 26.28 tons/58900lbs (including containers).

The materials, equipment and components used in this hangar have been carefully selected with quality functionality and reliability taking precedence over economy.
