The 3-in-1 shelter is not generally used for living space. It is designed to be loaded onto a cargo aircraft and transported to the deployed location. My experience is that it is used for the Command and Control Center. You can live in a tent. Your computer systems need to be in the 3-in-1 shelter. A small team puts this up in no time, with the hydraulic lowering of the flooring sections taking the longest. They were designed for a specific purpose and perform very well for that purpose.
My husband and I are about to buy one of these from the 70s for storage. I'm kind of excited! We will be the only people in our area to have a building like this.
These have been around for a long time. We had 6 to 8 of them at the mining camp I managed. they can be configured any way you like from shower/bath units to kitchen and prep units to mechanical or tech offices. they are available in soft or rigid sided and there are even automatic deploying ones you can deploy with the push of a button r from your cell phone... and yes the are spendy. Anywhere from 8 to 70 thousand depending on the application and equipment in the unit...
If this idea really appeals to you, I suggest you build your own version of it. Second option - Can't do it alone ? Then get together with other people who can do the job and team up to build them. That way ALL of you brilliant people can get together and make your fortunes, and save the world - together.
@@terryminchew5830 we Irakis should be thanking for his "service" .If I did , over a million irakis would disagree with me. They killed Saddam that killed US but american army still killed more civilians in our family. 12 pp☦☦☦ Fuck his service and your army
Appears to be good engineering and well thought out....containers are inherently somehwhere between R15 to R25 right...how does this container stack up? What is required to tow such a "container"; for road travel? Smart consolidation.
Would be great for disasters. Concrete slab, something level an solid, mobile crane, start the trucks rolling. Should be able to get two on a forty foot container chassis. Already have the means for handling them at any shipping port.
These have been around the military for a couple decade. Look up army spam. You can get one with a dolly set for about 10 - 25k. They even make them chemical rated.
Lot better than the 3-in-1 shelters we had in field hospitals back in the 80s. Took a crew to assemble because half the medics were female. The roof seals leaked and replacement seals were not available. The honeycomb walls rotted. We had to sling load them and we just prayed the sling-load points on the roofs wouldn't rip out.
nice, 1 man setup. will probably be back to3-4 man setup after we break them. i like the ladder, that's a great improvement over climbing up the dolly set.
This is absolutely the way to go, i would love one of these, of course it needs a great sound system, flat screen and awesome king size bed, en suite wet room and induction cooktops powered by solar panels, pump up radio antennas and a flushing Toilet, but hey.....The potential is there !!
Serious military shelter customers directly contact manufacturers and have a long list of specific modifications they want. UA-cam is just a convenient place for some advertising.
well it doesn't have any shingles or siding or windows that would be breaking or flying off from winds from a nearby twister. but i mean if an F2 or something flies right over head it probably will toss it. then again if it weighs a lot and is secured to the ground maybe not. seems safer than a regular house at least. (except a basement/storm shelter
And it looks to me like the center part would be pretty empty for storage in transit. Very cool. So many answers to problems that are underutilized. Good job, designers and builders.
I met a fellow who stole a large dumpster, cleaned it, turned it upside down so that the lids would serve as a patio cover. He used it as a home for a couple of years.
Neat but I bet it would cost you more than a small 3 bedroom home in a depressed rural community and of course it still needs a butt load of add ons to be liveable. buying a used RV off of Craigslist would be a better deal and you would not need to hire someone with a semi to transport it.
@weaponeer If I may recommend, you could always buy a cheap but nice 5th wheel camper to bring to your property. Never done it myself, but I've read a lot into it, and seems like a cost effective way to live.
Just get a wool blancet, this fotage is taken in Norway and it is as cold as in Canada here, if not colder. I'v sleept in a A-frame shelter with only my clothes and a wool blanket in the winter, and I kept warm.
No digging of latrines but use of bathroom trailers and shower units or even port a potties.This is more likely an office unit or a generals quarters as tents are still cheaper for the troops and they don't give anything under a general air conditioning in those tents! Heat is supplied by Jerry-can and a flame in a can in that tent also!
Love your design proposal. It may also work in with a modular concept that I've designed for community concept utilizing 1 acre plots. Your system would word well for setting up these 1 acre camps in remote areas. It will take all of use working together in these N times. Vid to follow. You've really worked out the bugs.
Even 12-15 minutes is a very reasonable amount of time to set this entire thing up. I'm shocked it took the demonstrator less than 5 minutes. Beware: if the US completely collapses, I'm gonna swipe one of these and mount to a flatbed truck.
Now this is a great design! You could add sun to water machines solar vacuum tube water heater and TEG's and a capacitor bank with solar panels on top and make it a stand alone shelter. You could even make a hydroponic green house with this design with all the plant led lighting and water pumps and do on to market with your shelters has apocalypse survival shelter. This is a very good idea! Novartis
Would be great for a hunting cabin. Let the US military pay $200,000 each for them, store them for 3 to 5 years and sell them as never been used surplus for $12,000 each. A great deal for US Tax payers.
+Argus Loud Good luck getting a shelter that new for that money. That stuff gets bid through the roof on govliquidation. Those style shelters typically go as parts of expensive systems (comms, radar, mobile workshops) where the contents make the protective container a bargain. When they are emptied of their original gear many units use them for other tasks. I've worked out of mobile 1960s shelters still in service.
I am not sure if the extra expense of adding the electrical dropping of the door makes sense. I would assume this is deployed in special zones where you have several people available to assist. And for people setting up housing in hard to reach places, again it most likely not something you do every day, so a little more effort in the setup to reduce unit cost would make sense.
Wow, I am drooling over this design!! I'm either going to piss everyone off , especially my neighbors, or make some friends when I open this bad boy up! oooooohhhh a 40' would be awesome. Gonna make you rent 4 spaces at a campground tho.
Respected sir, This Idea is very good, now a days we can put solar on main middle roof and put water tank. We can get facilitiy to remove water from well using motor. I have one suggestion for keeping room temperature equal. In winter iron become cooler and in summer it becomes hotter. My solution is.... You make jute ractangal shape mat, You must make arrangements to replace it on wall ,from inside part of home. Either you do welding of strips or hooks. This you must check. Jute rope mat will remain for longer periods and will give esthetic look to containers home with in minimum cost. It can be replaced very easily. Please use same method for roof. Check the temperature of room. We don't need to insulation or plaster or covering with wood . Namh shivay.
Just need to add solar panels, the home biogas digester, rainwater catchment and a navy style bunk system and you have a air drop FOB from which aid workers can mobilise from
The most amazing thing is that you could design these to be dropped by plane and they could connect and erect themselves to form an FOB! Tracks on the bottom and electromagnetic locks and you have an instant base! You could even design these to dig into the ground and burry themselves giving people a different kind of shelter! Instant bunkers!
Google "Containerwoningen NDSM" , Here in Amsterdam, we've got FOUR "villages" of these stacked ISO containers. But in Africa you've got a lot more moisture (=maintenance), more warmth, and I bet a huge crime rate if you stack the people that close together.
@JadedRockStar84, I have seen the shower units, the cooking units, but not anything like this. When I was in Afghanistan we took over a Dutch base and lived in their ISO type facilities but they were not this nice.
Military: We'll take 50,000 units. Co: Okay, that'll be 790 million. Military: Oh crap budget cuts.....well, we'll just take one for media purposes. xD
You should really design a green house model with led plant lights and climate control sun to water machines and hydroponic set ups all worked into its design. A survival shelter and survival hydroponic green house? Now that would be just amazing! Novartis

In all likelihood these are surplus US military units, not highly modified shipping containers. These were custom built and are now being surplussed with the demobilization of US troops in the middle-east. These are sold at auction, so the price is based on the bids. The US government uses one firm to auction off their equipment, GovPlanet. Here is one on mounted to a trailer. www.govplanet.com/for-sale/Portable-Structures-2005-MCT-Industries-2015K-LS-DK-Containerized-Trailer-California/743987?h=5000%2Csm%7C1%2Ck%7Coffice%2Cmf%7C1&rr=1&hitprm=&pnLink=yes
I am in the military &, unlike yourself, I was not too lazy to do a little research to get the actual U.S. expenditures for FY 2011. Actually Gov't spending looks more like this: Defense -- 22% Social Security -- 19.8% Medicare -- 13.1% Safety Net Programs (Food stamps, Unemployment &house assistance) -- 12.6% Medicaid -- 10% Other (NASA, Science, Education, Energy) -- 11.7% Interest -- 6% Transportation -- 2.5 International Affairs -- 1.2% Source: U.S. Office of Management and Budget. Cheers,
AFone414 Mega correction here...Social Security (19.8%) is NOT, and never has been, a *Govt. Expendature* S.S. continues, at least for now, to be SELF Funding. At times the Govt. has tried to RAID S.S. and make it part of the General Fund... but that would be a disaster for one of the best programs ever devised. S.S. is not a Welfare Program. For the most part...(with very specific exceptions..such as Children.. when there is a death of a working parent), if you don't work to put IN ... you don't qualify to take OUT. Note: Many illegal aliens have S.S. taken from their paycheck but will never qualify to receive S.S. In conclusion: I have worked very hard ..all my life, from the age of 15. What I receive from S.S. is NO Govt. HAND OUT. Now my S.S. benefits help to pay my local school taxes. BTW... I have no mortgage, no debt, however .. my local prop.taxes are so high that without S.S. I could possibly lose my home. So... please tell people to stop picking on S.S. We need to do more .. to protect it and improve it.. rather than robbing it and mislabeling it as some 'giveaway' welfare program... because it NEVER HAS BEEN. Peace & Blessings
Needs a bathroom and kitchen. Otherwise its just a big fancy box. Without that stuff a much more cost effective option would be something as simple as a nice tent.
Finally - I have been designing this in my head for over 30 years - so happy to see someone has finally gotten smart and built it :-)

About how many dollars if you don't mind me asking ?
That is awesome. Well thought out gentlemen, this is the best 'shipping container' shelter I have ever seen.
Fantastic idea! I have been looking fo ideas of what to do with shipping containers for my business.
These have been around for a long time. We had 6 to 8 of them at the mining camp I managed. they can be configured any way you like from shower/bath units to kitchen and prep units to mechanical or tech offices. they are available in soft or rigid sided and there are even automatic deploying ones you can deploy with the push of a button r from your cell phone... and yes the are spendy. Anywhere from 8 to 70 thousand depending on the application and equipment in the unit...
Link to the company ? Thanks.
$$$$ That's what I was afraid of. Yet another GLAMPING accessory.

I had one of these as my aid station in Iraq, without the windows. Pretty solid.

Smart consolidation.
Found it on Ebay. 20k-30k shipped.
Don't need gasoline if you put solar panels on one.
Would be great for disasters. Concrete slab, something level an solid, mobile crane, start the trucks rolling. Should be able to get two on a forty foot container chassis. Already have the means for handling them at any shipping port.

will probably be back to3-4 man setup after we break them.
i like the ladder, that's a great improvement over climbing up the dolly set.

Respected sir,
This Idea is very good, now a days we can put solar on main middle roof and put water tank. We can get facilitiy to remove water from well using motor.
I have one suggestion for keeping room temperature equal. In winter iron become cooler and in summer it becomes hotter.
My solution is....
You make jute ractangal shape mat,
You must make arrangements to replace it on wall ,from inside part of home.
Either you do welding of strips or hooks. This you must check.
Jute rope mat will remain for longer periods and will give esthetic look to containers home with in minimum cost. It can be replaced very easily.
Please use same method for roof.
Check the temperature of room.
We don't need to insulation or plaster or covering with wood .

Just need to add solar panels, the home biogas digester, rainwater catchment and a navy style bunk system and you have a air drop FOB from which aid workers can mobilise from
that is awesome but one question yes this a serious question pardon my ignorance but can it withstand tornados?
They used to make mobile homes like this LOL. The Magnolia mobile home, set up as a triple wide..
THIS IS a GOT TO HAVE ITEM ...QUESTION ? can you stack them
We used one of those for a portable recompression chamber in Spain. After a few years out in the weather it was a complete MF'r to open or stow.
*Videonun Perde Arkasi* youtubem.video/r/?CdHozbBFIV7st2TaAIyGtOFCUvgtMxp21a=Rcv0KsigCAbDnKeUgTBJPaPlNp2rG3bA5xmsFvy
00:05 empty weight is 3300 Kilograms, max permittable weight is 8000 kilograms. But I doubt they're still stackable like the origininal container.
same concept as the old Army expando vans. I imagine these are better quality. Some of these were used by deployed military units. Sure beats tents.
Would be real handy if it came with corner wheels and tow bar. Could take it anyway and set up
Could you make a video showcasing the inside of the home please?
Awesome I want one. Just need to set up a solar system to supply hot water and a small amount of electricity.
How much for one unit? Love the idea they can moved to anyplace any time!!
Us army has done this for years I had computer equipment in one late 70,s Ft Huachuca
