Quality Construction Features

Design Features

The design and construction of Tankinetics Mobility Containers consist of a one-piece molded fiberglass shell that is laminated with reinforcements in the load bearing and impact areas. The container top is detailed with raised sections, which index when stacking with those of the same base dimensions. Each container is equipped with six internal shelf tracks, which provide adjustable self-mounting in one inch vertical increments. Each shelf will support up to 650 pounds of uniformly distributed weight.

A flush fiberglass double-door system is mounted on continuous hinges and has a rubber seal to provide weather protection. Doors are secured by a recessed, heavy pattern handle to engage a cam-hook closing mechanism, which includes provisions for securing the container with a padlock or security seal.

The container base incorporates steel tineway enclosures for front and back forklift entry, as well as wheel mounting plates at each corner. Optional equipment are four (4) heavy duty, removable swivel wheels, which permit the container to be pushed or towed at slow speeds on paved surfaces. The wheels are easily removed by disengaging a spring lock and sliding them out of the mounting plates. To facilitate handling, moving, tie-down and hoisting, swivel ring fittings are installed at four (4) or eight (8) locations (dependent on container size).

Long-term finish durability is assured with the color molded into the fiberglass surface. Exterior metal hardware is finished by a baked-on epoxy powder coat, which is close to indestructible. Standard color is Forest Green Semi-gloss, per color chip number 24052 of FED-STD-595. Other colors are available on a special order basis.

Stacking

Tankinetics Modular Mobility Containers, with the same base dimensions, are designed and constructed to be stacked for storage or transportation purposes.

Stacking is accomplished by placing containers with the same base dimension on top of each other; the indexing/stacking features of one container base mates with those on another container top.

The Tankinetics Modular Mobility Containers are designed to be stacked in a modular arrangement on the 463L pallet system. Utilizing the full effective pallet area of 84" (2.13m) x 104" (2.64m) and stacked up to 90" (2.29m) high.

One pallet load of Mobility Containers will support a gross weight of 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg) and is secured to the pallet using a standard military netting system (HCJ15C and HCU7E).

Quality Assurance

Quality is assured by the fact that Tankinetics has manufactured and shipped over 25,000 of these Mobility Containers to installations throughout the world. The Tankinetics quality control system meets the requirements of MIL-I-45208A. These containers have passed a severe qualification program for the U.S. Government performed by an independent testing laboratory.
