BUILDING A LARGER FACILITY?
Match the logistics
to the deployment.
Field hospitals and connected multi-unit facilities often call for flatbed transport and forklift handling. We’ll help define the transport and placement plan around the number of shelters, site access and equipment available.
Plan your deploymentTow vehicle, load limits, site conditions and equipment requirements are confirmed for your selected shelter and trailer package.
BUILT FOR MORE THAN ONE DEPLOYMENT
Keep the platform.
Adapt the workspace.
A command facility is a long-term capital decision. FORTS combines a reusable shelter with replaceable wall panels and refurbishment options as your needs evolve. Insulated rigid construction and selected HVAC support a conditioned workspace for sustained field operations.
Ready for the next location.
Fold, transport and return the shelter to service where your operation needs it next.
Maintain the building you own.
Replaceable wall panels and refurbishment options help keep your shelter working over time.
Room for a changing mission.
Review furniture, partitions and support systems as your needs evolve, within the capabilities of your shelter.

FROM REQUIREMENTS TO A PROPOSAL
You know the operation.
Let’s define the facility.
You don’t need a model number or a finished specification. Start with your team, intended use, deployment location and target timing.
- 01Share the requirements.
Tell us who will use the facility, how it will move and the systems you need.
- 02Define the configuration.
Work with FORTS on the platform, interior, equipment and transport scope.
- 03Review a tailored proposal.
Review the selected equipment, responsibilities and project-specific quotation.
On the inquiry form, choose “Mobile Command Center.” A few sentences about your project are enough to start.
Plan work areas, privacy and support space together.
Example C-FORTS configuration · renderingBEFORE YOU REQUEST A PROPOSAL
What can be included? +
Start with the shelter shell or a configured facility. Workstations, partitions, power, HVAC, lighting and support features can be scoped together. Your proposal identifies the equipment FORTS supplies and what your organization provides.
What about communications equipment? +
Bring your radio, networking, display and data requirements into the planning conversation. Equipment, mounting, power and connections need to be defined for your project; a pictured interior is not a standard communications package.
How many people will fit? +
Workspace needs depend on desks, meeting areas, private rooms, equipment and circulation. Use the platform areas as a starting point, then develop the layout around your team rather than a universal seat count.
Do we need a forklift? +
A matched Mobilizer provides loading and unloading for a single shelter without a forklift. Flatbed and connected multi-unit deployments need a separate handling plan. Tow vehicle, configured load and site conditions are reviewed for the selected package.
Can shelters be connected together? +
Both FORTS 38 and C-FORTS shelters can be prepared for direct tandem connection. Plan the connected layout for your selected platform as part of the initial scope, or ask FORTS to review expansion of an existing facility.
What about delivery, training and support? +
Share your delivery location, target in-service date and team experience. Ask for the delivery plan, deployment instruction, warranty and ongoing support arrangements to be identified in your proposal.
