Safe & Efficient Parachute Storage
Since 1969 Southwest Solutions Group® has been offering efficiency-focused storage solutions for the U.S. military. More than saving you space, we are now proud to provide the safest storage solution for parachutes. These parachute deployment crates are modular, rugged, and collapsible, and fork-liftable. These crates help ensure the parachutes are organized and maintained neatly without crushing them together, which could damage them.
Snag-free Parachute Storage Crate Construction
The most important aspect of these parachute crates is its revolutionary snag-free construction. The crate’s modular panels have smooth edges that slide together without the use of nuts & bolts or other exposed sharp edges that parachutes could snag, tear or rip on when loading, unloading, and in transport. These parachute storage crates are constructed of galvanized steel and aluminum to protect against corrosion from the weather. Internal dimensions of the container are 76” wide by 60” deep by 58” high. Each parachute container will hold 3,000 lbs. of weight.
Deployment Ready Parachute Storage Crates
The parachute’s deployment-ready capability may be a secondary concern; however, it is a crucial consideration when selecting a military storage solution. These rugged storage crates are fork-liftable and nest on top of one another up to three high to save valuable storage space. When not in use, these modular storage crates fold down flat to about 80% of their assemble size for condensed transportation and storage. Parachutes can be accessed from the front, rear, and top allowing rapid, grab-and-go capability, and two men can assemble a unit in about ten minutes. Lastly, these parachute storage containers come with reinforced padlock hasps to prevent theft and attach a security seal if desired. Check out more military deployment equipment here.
