Aircraft Hangars and Maintenance Shelters

The range of aircraft hangars and maintenance shelters are the largest military shelter we supply, with the standard range going up to 60m in width, 14m roof height and customised ranges going up to widths of 70m. They are strong and durable with high snow and wind tolerances and relatively easy to transport and install.

Uses

These shelters are designed for mobile aircraft and vehicle maintenance and storage. The range in sizes make them idea for land vehicles, battle tanks and small or large aircraft. The additional option of an eyelid gate also makes them adaptable for aircraft with high tail fins.

Sizes

The standard shelters range from 7.60m to 60m wide, unlimited length and a maximum roof height of 13.92 metres. Customised designs and larger sizes are available. They are engineered to tolerate up to 100 km/h wind speed and a snow load of up to 100 kg/m² .
