Shelters for the defense sector

Why we are the specialist

Specialist in defense

Materials stored outdoors wear out faster. Vehicles, components, and work areas are directly exposed to rain, snow, and wind, which impacts operational readiness. A container shelter creates a dry and usable workspace and storage area, allowing maintenance, logistics, and preparation to continue. The clear span between containers provides unobstructed space. This makes it suitable for maintenance workshops, staging areas, and logistics hubs. The structures are engineered for wind and snow loads in accordance with EN 13782, ensuring reliable use even under harsh conditions.

Engineered for the defense sector

Defense operations use standardized container formats such as 20 ft, 40 ft, high cube, and open-side containers. The shelter is designed to match these formats. Mounting, height, and clearance are tailored to vehicles and material flows, ensuring the workspace remains functional in every phase of the process. The modular design makes it easy to expand or combine setups, for example into multiple work lanes or separate zones for maintenance, storage, and loading and unloading.

Quick to relocate and deploy

Installation on site needs to be fast. The structure consists of a steel frame with a fabric cover and is designed for quick assembly and disassembly. Suitable for both temporary and semi-permanent setups. The shelter is installed directly on existing containers, making relocation or reinstallation at another site straightforward. This aligns with changing deployments and operational mobility.

Compliant with standards and regulations

Defense projects require demonstrable quality and thorough documentation. All Kroftman shelters are delivered with calculations and technical substantiation in accordance with EN 13782. The documentation aligns with tender requirements and internal guidelines for safety and lifespan. This enables faster evaluation and approval of structures within the organization.
