Mobile Expandable Container Configuration (MECC™)

The Smart, Hybrid Shelter Design

The MECC™ combines Weatherhaven's fabric shelter technology with the world's first standard in transportation-the ISO container. The MECC mobile shelter is a fully assembled, self-contained unit, offering three times the floor space of a conventional wood or steel-constructed module with the same shipping footprint.

Applications/Configurations:

  • Command & Control Centers
  • Emergency Response
  • Kitchens
  • Medical Facilities
  • Ablutions
  • Laundry Facilities
  • Workshops (such as Tire Changing, Aircraft Maintenance & Electronic Repair)
  • HAZMAT Response
Built For Efficient Transportation
  • One-third the shipping footprint of the deployed floor space, for transportation efficiencies and savings
  • ISO and CSC certification for air, land, or sea transport and stacking
  • Can be loaded for transport using forklifts, cranes, helicopters, PLS, Bail Bar, CHU, and specialty jack stands
  • Can be transported by truck, trailer, rail, aircraft, or ship
  • A trailer or mobilizer to transport the MECC can be provided
  • The unit can be locked during transit, securing any equipment from theft
Readily Deployed & Redeployed
  • Can be easily redeployed for future missions, built to last 15-20 years in the field, for reduced capital investment
  • Set up by two people in 10-15 minutes, with no special skill or knowledge required
  • Can be expanded without exposing personnel or internal content to outside weather
  • Can be deployed on a truck, trailer, or wheel set for ease of mobility
Rugged, Heavy-Duty Construction
  • Durable construction, and latching and locking mechanisms make the MECC resistant to theft and cargo damage, protecting valuable assets and reducing transport delays
  • Insulated, spacious interior
  • Minimal maintenance required
  • Performs in extreme weather conditions
  • Tested to meet Milspec
Top-Notch Flexibility
  • Can be interconnected to form larger and fully enclosed complexes
  • Designed to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specifications
  • Fully outfitted with electrical, mechanical, HVAC, and furnishings
  • Can be stacked for storage or use if the site is tight on space
Customized To Suit Any Field Need

The MECC is available in a standard length of 20' and height of 8 feet, with other height and length options available. The 10-foot MECC (nicknamed the "Mini MECC") is ideal for applications requiring a smaller footprint. This shelter can be custom configured for your specific needs, and is designed for a variety of uses, including a kitchen, command post, ablution, or deployable lab. The 10-foot MECC:

  • Is an ISO-certified container in its packed configuration
  • Can be manufactured with a steel or aluminum core
  • Has almost all the options of a 20-foot MECC
  • Links to all other Weatherhaven expandable containers and softwall MTS shelter
  • Standard Nominal Sizes: 8' wide x 8' high x 10' long, or 8' wide x 8'6" high x 10' long

The MECC also comes in an extended-height version. The 12'-6" Extended Height Mobile Expandable Container Configuration (EHMECC™) is ideal for applications such as Command and Control Centres and Field Hospital Operating Rooms.
