Compact Mobile Carriage Military Storage Parachute Equipment Racks & Containers

Compact mobile carriage military storage aids air force

Parachute equipment racks and containers recently joined forces with compact mobile carriage military storage to come to the rescue of the United States Air Force. Their existing storage, a combination of metal shelving and racking, was limited to the number of parachutes it could accommodate. With added space and weight restrictions to complicate things, personnel resorted to just storing parachutes on the floor. This not only violated policy but, among other things, put the parachutes at risk for malfunction. And, this is something that just wouldn’t do, considering they were heavily relied upon in critical mission situations involving jumps and airdrops. Parachute containers also replaced heavy-gauge wire baskets, which were leaving the parachutes open to subsequent damage as a result of its bent and broken wire causing catch points.  Read more articles about parachute storage fit for containers, bins and racks with military equipment.

Both are just as effective when used alone but, in cases like this one, they work just as well together to provide many subsequent benefits. These include:

• A choice of system controls – including mechanical assist three-spoke handles, powered push buttons or touch screen controls – facilitate ease of use
• Bulky and heavy parachute equipment is stored in an organized fashion, while also kept safely out of the way
• Flexibility for when adding or moving carriages from one place to another is needed
• Pin-code and audit trail options allow for a high degree of security and accountability to be maintained
• Twice as much storage capacity in the same footprint with the removal of fixed aisles

Because of how they are designed, they also do well to allow for optimal space utilization to materialize when brought together. This is made possible because compact mobile carriage military storage, which houses the parachute equipment racks and containers, roll together by sliding along floor tracks to reduce your storage into a smaller footprint. With wasted aisle space eliminated, the air force was able to maximize storage capacity. The smooth interior design of the parachute containers also allowed for catch points to be eliminated, protecting the parachutes from damage. 

Benefits to using parachute equipment racks & containers

There are also added benefits to using parachute equipment racks and containers, which were not mentioned above.

Benefits provided for by the parachute equipment racks, themselves, include:

• Adjustments can be made to racks without the use of tools
• An organized solution, which provides optimum storage density and efficiency
• Its corners and edges are rounded and deburred to prevent snagging or puncturing of stored items
• Non-reactive materials prohibit degradation of stored parachutes
• Storing multiple sized parachutes on a single rack is easy with help from cantilever arms that vertically and horizontally adjust
• These heavy-duty welded racks can come custom-sized to match your application

The benefits provided for by the parachute container are just as valuable in comparison. They include:

• Available in two different size configurations, with dimensions measuring 52.50″W x 60.25″L x 53.75″H for the standard and 55.50″W x 80.25″L 58.75″H for the large
• Containers are easy to transport as needed when housed on compact mobile carriage military storage
• Fork truck access provided for from all four sides
• Heavy-duty padlocks for security can be accommodated for
• Made from heavy-duty welded construction
• Perforated sides help with inventory visibility and ventilation
• Standard parachute capacity is T-11:30, T-11R:75 and MC6:45, while the capacity for the large is T-11:42 and T-11R:150
• Top door panels lift and pivot out of the way for full clearance to the interior
